    Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure(奇遇)? Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four—hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.

    Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride, there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation—in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I think it was annoying.

    Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two-day trip by train. She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.

    She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.

    There are always many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries, and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.

    It sure beats driving the car, which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus.

4. According to the passage, the purpose of the author’s train ride was__________.

   A. to do business      B to see her children

   C. to visit places of interest   D. to see her old friends

5. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word 

   “distraught” in Paragraph 3?

   A. Disappointed.  B. Satisfied.  C. Concerned.  D. Pleased

6. In the author’s opinion, on the train Amtrak__________.

   A. the services are quite good   B. the food is terribly expensive

   C. all the passengers are polite   D. all the passengers are American

7. What is the best title for this passage?

   A. Train ride—a real adventure   B. A painful experience on the train

   C. The history of Amtrak    D. A wonderful lady

C

    You can’t imagine how terrible I felt at that time. A month before my first marathon(马拉松), one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.

    I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.

    The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!

    The night before my marathon, I dreamed that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

    Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!

    At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”

    By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.

    By mile 21, I was starving!

    As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 am or questioned my expenses on running.

    I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.

    Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.

8. A month before the marathon, the author _________.

   A. lost hope      B. felt scared    

   C. was well trained    D. made up his mind to run

9. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?

   A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.

   B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.

   C. To show he was not talented in sports.

   D. To share a precious memory.

10. How was the author’s first marathon?

   A. He made it.     B. He quit halfway.

   C. He got the first prize.   D. He walked to the end.

11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

   A. One is never too old to learn.

   B. Failure is the mother of success.

   C. A winner is one with a great effort of will.

   D. A man owes his success to his family support.

D

The new garbage sorting(分类)regulation has taken effect in Shanghai starting July 1. Many citizens are still confused about the classification of the four different types of trash. Thankfully, authorities have released an official guideline to explain the new rules.

The guideline, published by the Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau, provides a rather clear definition on the four kinds of waste: recyclable waste, harmful waste, household food waste and residual(剩余的) waste.

Harmful waste, as the name suggests, includes various poisonous materials like used batteries, light bulbs, out-of-date medicines, paint and pesticides.

Household food waste—which is translated to “wet trash” in Chinese—refers to food leftovers, rotten food, pet food, fruit peels, remains of TCM herbs and flowers.

Paper, plastic, glass, metal and textiles(纺织品)are counted as recyclable waste.

The definition of residual waste is a little confusing. Anything that is not listed above belongs to this category.

As specific as the new guideline is, residents still have a hard time sorting trash correctly and are finding it challenging to memorize them all. For instance, both plastic bottles and bubble tea or coffee cups are plastic materials. However, the former falls the category of recyclable waste and the latter belongs to residual waste. To save the hassle(麻烦), some netizens have come up with their own way to sort trash.

“We should do this from a pig’s angle,” commented one netizen. “Those edible(可食用的)for pigs are household food waste. Those even pigs don’t want to eat are residual waste. If a pig consumes something and dies of it, then something must be harmful waste. Those that can be sold and the money we gain can be used to purchase pigs are recyclable waste.”

The new regulation came into effect on July 1. Those who do not sort their trash properly will be fined RMB 200. 

12. What do the old coats that you want to throw away belong to?

   A. Harmful waste.     B. Wet trash.

   C. Recyclable waste.     D. Residual waste.

13. What is the netizen’s attitude towards the new garbage sorting regulation?

   A. Serious  B. Humorous.  C. Delightful.  D. Uncertain.

14. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?

   A. Pet food belongs to harmful waste.

   B. All the citizens are quite clear about the classification of the four types of trash.

   C. A pig can even define the four kinds of waste.

   D. Some citizens find it difficult to sort trash correctly.

15. What does the passage mainly talk about?

   A. The four sorts of garbage are forbidden in Shanghai.

   B. Shanghai garbage sorting enforcement begins.

   C. People are still confused about garbage sorting.

   D. The netizens in Shanghai support the garbage sorting policy.

Whether it’s a first grade science test or College Entrance Exam, all tests have one thing in common: you have to pass.   16   Stuck in a situation where you don’t know what to do? This article can help you.

Tips

Once you get the study guide, make plans right away to study as soon as possible. No excuses! Killing time with friends isn’t worth it, since you can always hang out with them any other day.

Get plenty of rest.   17   If you walk into the classroom sleepily, you’ll most likely not finish the test because you are so tired.

Bring all necessary materials.  19   Bring pencils, pens, pencil sharpeners, erasers, the calculator(if allowed) and anything else you’ll need for the test.

   20   Showing up late cuts back the time you’ll have to take for the test if it’s already testing hours. You’ll probably miss any important information needed in completing the test. In some tests, late comers are not allowed to take the test.

A. The exam tests vocabulary, reading and maths skills.

B. One piece of cheese probably won’t last until test time.

C. Don’t forget to set your alarm clock and show up on the test day on time.

D. Studies show that if you get enough sleep, your brain will be much more efficient.

E. Showing up without something as simple as a pencil can have a big effect on your test.

F. Failing the test won’t help you in the long run, so it’s important to know how to

  prepare to pass that big test.

G. This test is a challenging one and every year many students are unable to qualify just because of lack of guidance.

书面表达参考范文：

A hero in my heart—Mulan

    I’m delighted to share the hero in my heart—Mulan with you, who is my favourite cartoon movie character.

    Living in ancient times, Mulan was a young girl. She disguised herself as a man to trick the officers so that she could join the army as a way to help her family. Finally the young girl made it!

I really love this character because she is brave and determined when fighting against the enemies. History saw the great contributions she has made to the country. Mulan sets a good example and also has great effects on me in all aspects. Whenever I meet with difficulties, I will think of her and be hugely inspired. Mulan is a true hero!
