Headmaster Gruber announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome The Racket!"

And before she even knew it, the first song was halfway done. It all came _______. All of the practice was paying off. Abby knew the songs so well, she really didn't have to think much about what she was doing. Suddenly she realized that she was _______ the moment.

Daisy is a teenager and she set up her own company in 2015. At that time, she was only 14. Her company could earn 1.3 million dollars a year with the invention of a kind of super sweet. It could save kids’ teeth instead of destroying them.

It all began when Daisy went to a bank with her dad in 2012. At that time, a clerk in the bank gave her some sweets. However, her dad warned her that the sweets were bad for her teeth. But Daisy didn’t want to miss the sweets. She said, “Why can’t I make some healthy sweets? They are good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to them.” With that in mind, Daisy asked her dad if she could start her own company. With her dad’s permission(允許), she spent the following three years realizing her dream.

Therefore, she succeeded in making a kind of sweet only using natural materials and it can reduce bacteria(細(xì)菌) in kid's mouths.

【題目】

If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don't need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob(快閃族). A flash mob, organized with the help of the Internet or other communications networks, is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a period of time, such as coming together to look at the sky, shouting something at the top of their voices for 30 seconds, and then quickly disappear before the police can arrive.

Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been replaced for any reason. Bill Wasik, a senior editor, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May,2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3,2003—after the first try was foiled at Macy's department store. Following this, about 200 people crowded into the hall of the Hyatt hotel, applauding(鼓掌)in one voice for fifteen seconds, and next the mob pretending(假裝)to be tourists on a bus trip entered a shoe shop in Soho. Wasik said that he created flash mobs as a social experiment designed to make fun of hipsters(時(shí)尚潮人).

Though flash mobs were firstly regarded as pointless, the idea has already developed for the benefit of political(政治的)and social events. Flash mobbing takes advantage of the effect of communicating information on Websites and by email, and protesters(抗議者)can similarly use it to be involved in political events.

Flash mob gatherings can sometimes surprise people. Such an activity might seem amusing and fantastic, but it also might frighten people who are not clear about what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction. They also have big economic potential(經(jīng)濟(jì)潛力), such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.

The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things.

Flash mobs give people an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

1The word "foiled" in Paragraph 2 probably means "__________".

A.praisedB.preventedC.confusedD.succeeded

2Why did Bill Wasik create the flash mob?

A.To help people make friends.B.To advertise some products.

C.To create some memories.D.To make fun of hipsters.

3What can we infer about the flash mob from the passage?

A.It can be made use of in many fields just for fun.

B.It usually breaks up quickly for not having enough time.

C.If the place for the activity is decided, it can't be changed.

D.It gives people the chance to do something unusual together.

4Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A.Flash Mob: the Popular Culture

B.Flash Mob: the Political Potential

C.Flash Mob: the Short-term Memory

D.Flash Mob: the Beginning of Information

【題目】 Our Great Ocean Road Adventure

By Donna Waverley

My family and I recently went to Australia, to see my grandparents. But before we visited them, we went sightseeing along the Great Ocean Road, on the Australian coast.

Dad had planned to drive, but even though he was used to driving miles without getting exhausted, he then read on the website that the road wouldn’t be an easy drive. Anyway, we thought he deserved to enjoy the fantastic views too, which he couldn’t do as our driver. So instead, we booked discount bus tickets and off we went.

Our first stop was where wild kangaroo lived – and Dad and I were taking a walk when a big one appeared! For a moment, it seemed to consider coming towards us, which made me a little nervous – but then it went off along the road and into the bushes.

That wasn’t the only wildlife we saw. I thought it unlikely we’d see famous Koala bears during our short visit. In fact, at our next stop, we saw roughly six million in that area! Sadly, some gum trees they were in had very few leaves left, which people told us was because of the Koalas, although I’d read that lack of water is indeed the problem.

Dad had booked a campsite for the night, with ready-made tents – for an adventure! I wasn’t sure about that, but they were really luxury tents, within walking distance of some famous rocks and other places we hoped to visit. However, Dad also said the sounds of wild creatures would help us sleep. That sounded worrying – until the “wild creatures” turned out to be frogs! So I was embarrassed by my fears – and kept awake by the frogs! But we had fun making meals together – we’d brought food, as we knew there’d be nowhere to eat.

In fact, this whole trip was fantastic!

1The passage is mainly about Donna’s visit to his grandparents, isn’t it?

2Why did Donna’s Dad decide not to drive the Great Ocean Road himself?

3How was Donna when she saw a big kangaroo along the route?

4What has caused the gum trees to be in such a bad state?

5Where did Donna’s family spend the night?

6What did Donna like and dislike about the place where they stayed?
