【題目】There was once a young man who liked puppets (木偶) so much that he became an apprentice (學(xué)徒) to a master puppet-maker. Sadly, the young man was not so clever, and his teacher and the other apprentices were always telling him he had no talent for making puppets, and that he would achieve nothing in making puppets.

Even so, he enjoyed it so much that he worked day after day to improve. Despite his efforts, they would always find something wrong with his puppets, and the poor puppets ended up being thrown out of the workshop.

The young man wasn’t going to give up, so he decided that from then on he would spend all his time making just one kind of puppet. Whenever he found a fault in his puppet he would throw it away and start again. Years passed, and with each new attempt his puppet became a little bit better. By that time, his puppet was much better than anything that the other apprentices could make, but he kept making improvements. Living like that, the man wasn’t making any money, and many people laughed at how poor he was.

By the time he was an old man, his puppet was truly wonderful. Finally, after so many years of work, he finished work on his puppet, and said, “I can’t find anything wrong with it. This time it is perfect”. And for the first time in all those years, instead of throwing his puppet away, he put it up on the shelf, feeling truly satisfied and happy.

It is well-known that perfect puppet, Pinocchio, came to life after that, had a thousand adventures, and gave that old man — whose name was Geppetto — more joy than any other famous puppet-maker had ever got from any of their creations.

【1】Why did the young man want to learn to make puppets according to Paragraph One?

A. Because he liked it.

B. Because everyone thought he was talented.

C. Because his teacher told him to do so.

D. Because he was not clever, he had to make a living

【2】What was the ending of the poor puppets made by the young man?

A. They were kept by the young man.

B. They were thrown by the young man.

C. They were shared by others.

D. They were collected by his teacher.

【3】What can we learn about Geppetto from the third paragraph?

A. He was laughed at by the others.

B. He could only make one kind of puppet.

C. He had collected all the puppets he made.

D. He made a lot of money by selling puppets.

【4】When the puppet, Pinocchio, was made, ________.

① Geppetto was already an old man

② Geppetto was satisfied with it

③ Geppetto was much happier

④ Geppetto planned to throw it away

A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④

【5】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Many hands make light work.

B. No one can do two things at once.

C. A good beginning makes a good ending.

D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

【題目】Snowy was a little cat. He lived with a little old lady who loved Snowy very much. Sometimes the old lady would sit in her rocking chair, rocking backwards and forwards until she fell asleep or sometimes she would play little tunes(曲子) on her piano.

One sunny day, Snowy jumped up on the window sill(窗臺). Snowy wanted to go out and play with the pretty butterflies, but the window was shut and the old lady had fallen asleep in her rocking chair.

He ran to the door but that was shut, too. He sat down near the old lady's feet and said，“Miaou？” That was his way of saying, “May I go out to play, please？” The old lady didn't hear him but stayed fast asleep.

He rubbed his soft head against the old lady's legs. Still the old lady slept. So Snowy sat down and thought hard. Then he had an idea. He would jump up on the piano and play a tune. That might wake her up. So Snowy jumped up onto the piano and was a little scared of the loud, big, deep drum sound he made as he landed.

He took another little step. It wasn't quite such a loud note(調(diào)子). Up and down the notes he walked until he reached the very high notes which sounded like lots of bells. But the old lady woke up.

“What are you doing, Snowy？” She asked but she wasn't angry. “Miaou，” said Snowy, running to the closed door. “How clever you are to wake me up by playing the piano！” said the old lady as she let Snowy out into the sunshine.

【題目】Study hard. Get plenty of sleep. Eat a good breakfast. Each of these things can help students do their best on exams. Now scientists say another thing might also influence students’ test scores. Students in stuffier (通風(fēng)不暢的) classrooms did worse on tests than students in buildings with fresher air, new research (研究) found.

Opening windows can help provide fresh air. Some buildings also use fans to bring in outdoor air. Each time someone breathes, he or she breathes out CO2. When rooms are stuffy, the level of CO2 in those rooms can build up. A 2012 study showed that college students had more difficulty giving all their attention to their learning when indoor CO2 levels were high. And other research has found that primary school students in stuffier classrooms stayed homesick (想家的) more often. In a different study, researchers examined the air quality (質(zhì)量) in 100 fifth-grade classrooms. They found that in most classrooms, the air quality did not meet the standards (標(biāo)準(zhǔn)).

These same research groups now find that better air is connected with better test scores too. As part of the research, Richard Shaughnessy measured CO2 levels inside and out of 140 fifth-grade classrooms at 70 schools. The CO2 levels helped them know how much fresh air was running through each classroom. The quality of indoor air in each classroom was then compared to its students, scores on a Maths test. Overall, the average score for this test was 2,286 points. But kids in classrooms with the best air quality scored about 144 points higher than students breathing the stuffiest indoor air. The study shows that air quality and test scores are really connected, but the influence is small.

【1】The findings of the new research mainly show the importance of _______.

A. hard work B. enough sleep

C. fresh air D. healthy eating

【2】What did the author want to show by mentioning a 2012 study?

A. College students studied in stuffy classrooms.

B. High indoor CO2 levels harmed students1 health.

C. College students had difficulty in focusing in class.

D. High indoor CO2 levels harmed college students’ learning.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Opening windows and using fans can reduce the level of CO2 in the air.

B. The level of CO2 will be higher when there are more people in a stuffier room.

C. Students studying in stuffier classrooms cannot get good test scores.

D. The air quality will seriously influence students’ scores.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Many classrooms lack fresh air.

B. Stuffy classrooms lead to problems.

C. Stuffy classrooms may lower test scores.

D. CO2 in classrooms leads to poor performance.

【題目】Dear Sunday Globe，

I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday’s newspaper. You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones, but you didn’t talk about their bad points at all. So, I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette(禮儀)．

The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When you talk on your smartphone in public, please don’t shout. In fact, the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive(靈敏的). So, you can be heard even if you speak quietly.

Another point is about personal space. I don’t think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. What’s worse, it stops many facetoface conversations from ever beginning.

Lastly, doing two things at the same time is dangerous. For example, making calls while driving is a bad habit. Pay attention to the road! Similarly, when staying with your friends, turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company.

Yours truly，

Amber Jala

【1】Amber Jala wrote the letter to ________．

A. find a good job

B. provide advice

C. make her life easier

D. buy a smartphone

【2】What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. 致函 B. 稱呼

C. 陳述 D. 選址

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. It is dangerous to drive on the road.

B. It is easy to start a company with others.

C. It is bad to turn off our phones while driving.

D. It is important to use our smartphones properly.

【2】 It has two layers(層) with nuts and jujubes(棗) between them. Since cake in Chinese is pronounced “gao” meaning high, people consider climbing a high mountain to be the same as eating cake. They also hope that they can make progress in the following days after eating the cake. 【3】
