1、 There is a tradition at my school that when Changsha High School Entrance Examination is less than a month away, students in the lower grades, from Grade 7 to Grade 8, all gather together on the ground in front of the teaching building and cheer on the Grade 9 students who are standing upstairs.1. It wasn’t until I took part in the activity in person that I understood the true meaning of it.
2. 那时我上7年级。On that special night, all the Grade 9 students stood in the hallways and looked down at the younger students below. Various cheers started to resound throughout the school, wave after wave. “Believe in yourself! You will succeed!”
Seeing everyone’s smiling face around us,3.我们想起了一句著名的格言。It’s from the American philosopher (哲学家) Henry David Thoreau, 4.“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”
Soon it will be my turn to receive blessing in this way.5. That also means we will have to say goodbye to our school. Although it will be sad, being cheered on by so many students will still be one of the brightest time of my life.

24、 Everybody is afraid of something. That’s what more than 1,700 kids told us when we asked them about fears and scary(害怕的) things. We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them most. Here are the top 5 answers from our survey: ① Scary movies and TV shows; ② Scary dreams; ③ Thunderstorms, hurricanes (飓风), and other horrible weather; ④ War and terrorism (恐怖行动); ⑤ Sounds heard at night.
But not everyone is afraid of the same thing. And what makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else. Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.
What is fear? Fear is a feeling that everyone has — it’s programmed into all of us — and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us. We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous. The baby cries, and their mom comes over to comfort him or her, helping the baby feel safe and OK again.
Real vs. Pretend
The best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it. As kids get older, they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal. So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches(女巫), he can tell himself, “Wait a minute. They’re only pretend things. I don’t need to worry about them.”
The same goes for the dark. A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out. What’s under my bed? Is that a thief I hear? With the help of a parent, kids can get more comfortable in the dark. Using a night light or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.
【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The list of fears is not complete.
B.The things people fear are of no big fear.
C.Kids have more fears than people think.
D.People are afraid of different things.
【2】In the writer’s opinion, ___________.
A.having a sense of fear is not a bad thing
B.babies have a weak sense of fear
C.fear is not something that we are born with
D.not all people can react to dangerous things
【3】What does the underlined word “pretend” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Ugly B.Usual C.Unreal D.Lovely
25、 Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)
In the 1920s, scientists found a collection of bones near Beijing,China. They believed that the bones were human and that they were about 500,000 years old. They also believed the bones were important because they were form a little-known stage in the evolution of human beings.
The bones were kept in Beijing until 1941. Then because the Japanese army was advancing towards the city, the scientists decided to send the bones to the US for safety.
Dr Harry L.Shapiro, former Professor of Anthropology(人类学)at Columbia University, has been searching for them ever since. He believes they were stolen by the American army officer whose job was to take them to the US. He could be right.
After the war, a Chicago businessman offered $5,000 to anybody with information about the bones. A woman phoned him and told him she knew where the bones were. He arranged to meet her on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building in New York. They met and she told him that her husband had come home from China with fossils(化石)of a prehistoric(of the time before recorded history)man. She showed him photographs of them. Then she walked away and was never heard from again.
A few years later, however, a Sydney businessman reported that he had the bones and that he had buried them in a forest in Tasmania. He offered to say where for a large sum of money. Then he, too, was never heard from again. Someone, somewhere, has the bones but nobody seems to know who or where.
【1】How old were the bones thought to be?
A.Five thousand years old. B.Fifty thousand years old.
C.About half a million years old. D.A million years old.
【2】The scientists thought the bones were important because ________.
A.they were human B.they were found on a state
C.they had a history of 50,000 years D.they were from an important evolution period
【3】Why were the bones sent to the USA?
A.Because Americans liked collecting old things.
B.Because the bones might fall into the hands of Japanese invaders.
C.Because they could be sold for a lot of money.
D.because the Chinese didn't need them.
【4】What happened to the Chicago businessman when a person contacted him about the bones?
A.He made friends with the woman. B.He only talked to her on the phone.
C.He has never been heard from again. D.He met her and saw the photos of some bones.
【5】What happened a few years later?
A.A Sydney businessman offered to buy them for much money.
B.Nobody heard anything more about them.
C.A Sydney businessman took them to a forest in Tasmania.
D.An Australian said they were buried in Tasmania.
【6】From the passage we can conclude that ________.
A.the woman was sure to know where the bones were B.the bones have not been returned to China
C.the bones must have been in the Australian's hands D.the Sydney businessman must have told a lie
26、 Many people believe the glare(刺眼的光) from snow causes snow blindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow blindness when staying in snow light for several hours.
The United States army has now discovered that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops(军队) in a snow-covered country. In fact, a man’s eyes often find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered land. So his eyes keep moving over the whole landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid (液体) which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball more and more until it makes eyes difficult to see clearly, and the result is completely snow blindness, even though for a short time.
Experiments led the army to a simple method of solving this problem. Scouts (侦察员) ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead which they can look at, too. The men following can then see something. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to look at, stop searching the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is solved.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.The whiteness from snow. B.Snow light and snow blindness
C.The need for dark glasses D.Headaches and watering eyes
【2】Snow-blindness can be avoided___________.
A.by walking ahead and keep looking around
B.by making up for the discomfort of one’s eyes
C.by covering the eyeballs with more and more tears
D.by providing the eyes with something to look at
【3】What is the best title for this passage?
A.Snow-blindness: what it is and whom it influences
B.Snow-blindness: what it is and how nature helps
C.Snow-blindness: how it forms and how to solve it
D.Snow-blindness: how it forms and whom it hurts
【4】Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.Solving the problem of snow-blindness is important in army
B.Snow-blindness was once a big problem but could be cured easily
C.The glare from snow is considered as the main cause of snow-blindness
D.Armies around the world pay attention to the problems of snow-blindness
27、
Chinese students are thought to be hard workers who put great effort into their studies. How well do they perform on tests on a world level? The 2018 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA国际学生能力评估项目) found that 15-year-olds in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang ranked(排列) No 1 in reading, science and math. They got the highest rating(等级) — Level 4.
The PISA is carried out every three years by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This year, it tested around 600,000 students in 79 countries and regions.
Students from Singapore came in second place in reading. Students from Macao ranked third in all three categories (类别). Students from the United States ranked Level 3 for reading and science and Level 2 for math.
Chinese mainland students first took part in the PISA in 2009, when students from Shanghai ranked on top. The city's students got the top spot again in 2012.
The PISA rankings have raised global(全球的) interest in Chinese teaching methods. The UK ranked 26th in math in the 2012 PISA. Teachers there are starting to use Chinese math-teaching methods. Around 5,000 of Britain's 16,000 primary schools have used the Shanghai math-teaching method, China Daily reported.
Britain translated math textbooks from Chinese schools and published them in 2017. Every year since 2014, groups of British and Chinese teachers have visited each other's schools to share teaching tips and discuss methods.
The new teaching methods have allowed younger students to learn basic knowledge in a more solid (坚实的) way that makes sure they understand more complex content (复杂的内容) when they are older, noted Carol Knights from Britain's National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Math.
Both China and the UK have benefited (获益) from each other. “We've benefited from working with Chinese partners due to(归咎于) the very high quality of lesson planning and teaching for memorization in China. Our Chinese partners have benefited from our methods of the development of character, focus on innovation (创新) and application (应用) of knowledge," Philip Avery, from the Bohunt Education Trust, said to China Daily.
【1】From the article, we know that mainland students ________.
A.won many international prizes B.performed well on the 2018 PISA

28、As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only a【1】 but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as s【2】.
Scientists have found out that the in radiation(辐射)is the greatest danger to spacemen. When spacemen are working in space, they are in d【3】 of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The h【4】 of the radiation won’t be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some s【5】 medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far.
Space r【6】 is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are s【7】, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion(爆炸)in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments (碎片), each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and c【8】 some damage(损 坏).
Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. A【9】 space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the Earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should do something to help i【10】 the space environment.
