【題目】 When Emma Yang was 7 or 8 years old, her grandmother got Alzheimer's disease（阿爾茨海默�。�. It made her grandmother lose her memory. She couldn't even know her own family members.Yang, now 14, decided to create an app to help people with this disease.

Her app is called Timeless. It uses facial recognition technology. Alzheimer's patients can use the app to look at photos of their friends and family. The app will tell them who the person is and how they recognize（認(rèn)出）someone in the same room; they can take pictures and the app will try to identify them.

Yang got the idea after seeing how facial recognition is used in different areas, especially in health care. She worked with a tech company to create the facial recognition software that her app used. She learned to code（編碼）for the iPhone for the first time in the process.

The app is still in development. Yang is trying to raise money through crowdfunding（眾籌）so that she can take the next step. Though some may think that the app is too hard for older people to use, Yang is hopeful. “If you introduce it to them right away, it's actually possible for them to use it and it can really benefit their lives,” she said.

Memory expert Katherine Possin agreed. Possin said looking at photos on the app can help patients feel more social. It can also improve their memory, she added.

【題目】 Good evening, parents, grandparents, uncles and friends!

Thank you all for coming on this very special day for every student on this stage. I know how proud you must be. As we have grown over the years, there are many steps and stages we all have gone through. From learning our shapes and colors, to getting our first progress in middle school, or how we explained to our parents why we skipped school （逃課） because the headmaster called home. As we remember these days, things that we’ve done will be with us forever. But this is only the start of our journey. To graduate is one more step we’ve taken in our lives.

Now I would like to thank everyone who has helped me get this far. First of all thank you to all the teachers. None of us would be here without you always pushing our studying abilities to the fullest. My elder brother Johnson always said "If anyone is mean to you, I'll take care of it." My mom, thank you for always believing in me and putting up with（容忍）me. And last but not least, my dad, for proving to me that I always need to take responsibility（責(zé)任） for my actions and deal with the results. Thank you all! I love you. And I will never fail to be thankful to the people around me.

Lastly, I want to give some advice to all my classmates! The end of junior high school is the beginning of a new life. Many of us may think, "This is as good as it gets!" but the future holds a bigger plan for all of us. We will make mistakes along the way, but the key is to learn from our mistakes and never give up.

【題目】What makes a camp great?

Did you take part in a camp this summer? There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.

Maybe you’ve never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals-opportunity, challenge and growth.

Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids don’t have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous news reporters there.

Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in overcoming the challenge. Then you will have a sense of accomplishment. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate (證書) to become a real lifeguard.

This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp personal growth. It doesn’t mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn’t know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.

So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: Is it a special opportunity? Is it a challenge? Will I grow?

But what about friendship,fun and joy? These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps! Have fun, make friends and learn cool new skills at a summer camp.

There are many different types of summer camps in the US. Some camps focus on (注重) playing games and having fun. Other camps focus on developing a certain skill or ability. In general, if you can think of a camp, then it probably exists. You just have to find it.

【1】Which of the following is the writer’s opinion?

A.All the summer camps are the same.B.There are too many summer camps nowadays.

C.Summer camps help you understand your research.D.All great summer camps have the same main goals.

【2】If you want to be a news reporter, you can join __________.

A.a journalism campB.a lifeguard campC.a fishing campD.a speech camp

【3】The sentence “you will have a sense of accomplishment” means“__________”.

A.you will overcome the challenge easily.

B.you will want more new and difficult tasks

C.you will feel afraid if you cannot complete the task.

D.you will feel pleased after you finish the task successfully.

【4】What is the most important thing for a child to learn from camps?

A.He will grow taller and stronger.B.He knows how to take opportunities

C.He gets to learn new life-saving skills.D.He can improve and become more confident.

【5】What will the writer probably write about in the following part?

B.He will write about the skills to make friends naturally.

C.He will give several examples of summer camps in the US.

D.He will introduce different types of games at summer camps.

【題目】The Rules of British Roads

British roads are some of the safest in the world. A study in 2018 compared more than 30 countries and found that 3.8 out of 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK.

This number was lower than any other country. So, what did British drivers do to achieve this? What are they doing differently? Here are some pieces of advice for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK.

◆People in Britain drive on the left side of the road. In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries have this. Don't forget that this also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts (環(huán)島).

◆British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a line of traffic, then don't try to push past the cars in front of yours. This is called "jumping the line". You must wait for your turn; or people may get angry with you.

◆You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn't any other traffic around. In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this.

◆If another driver flashes (閃爍) his car's lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will wait for you to go first. British people don't like to use their car horn (喇叭) much because they think people who do so are rude.

◆If you get in an accident, don't try to pay the police. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday visiting British prison（監(jiān)獄).

【1】How many pieces of advice are mentioned in the passage?

____________________

【2】Which side do British people drive on?

____________________

【3】If a driver jump the line, how will other drivers feel?

____________________

【4】Why don't British people like to use their car horn much?

____________________

【5】What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

____________________
