Some of the children's dreams about the Neverland were similar. This was because they were all in the same family and they had all heard the same stories from their mother. Many stories talked about a boy named Peter Pan. Peter Pan lived in the Neverland with the fairies (小精灵) and he could fly. Wendy especially believed in Peter Pan.
“Peter Pan must be an old man now.” joked Mrs. Darling.
“No. mom!” cried Wendy. “Peter will never grow up. He will always be a boy about the same age and height as me!”
Mr. Darling laughed when Wendy spoke about Peter Pan. He did not believe in Peter Pan or the Neverland. “Nana probably made the children believe in Peter Pan. I'm sure that Wendy will soon forget about Peter Pan!” Mr. Darling told his wife.
But Peter Pan did not want the children to forget him. So that same night he came to the Darlings' house. He whispered dreams of the Neverland into their ears while they were sleeping. Wendy had a wonderful dream about the Neverland that night.
The next day Wendy saw that the window was open and knew that Peter Pan had come to visit. “Look!” she yelled to her mother. “There are tree leaves on the floor and he forgot to clean his shoes!”
“How could Peter Pan come into the house without first knocking at the door?” asked her mother. “The door is always locked.”
“He flew in through our window! Go upstairs and look! The tree leaves are next to the window!”
Mrs. Darling did not want to tell Wendy that the Neverland and Peter Pan were just a dream and make her daughter sad. So she walked upstairs after breakfast and examined some of the leaves. She was surprised to see that they didn't look like the leaves that grew on the trees next to the house!
--- Taken from Peter Pan

C. Maybe Mrs. Darling believed in Peter Pan in the end.
D. The Neverland and Peter Pan were just a dream.

It is said that Thomas Edison used to chase the twilight (追求模糊状态) moments between wakefulness and sleep. Supposedly. he used to fall asleep in a chair. holding two balls in his hands. As he nodded off, the balls fell down. The resulting noise woke him up. Then, he could write down his inventive ideas before he fell into a deep sleep and forgot them. This inspired a new study.
Researchers tested Edison's method of encouraging creativity with 103 healthy people. Volunteers came to the lab to solve a number problem. They were asked to change some numbers into a shorter sequence (序列). They were told to follow two simple rules. However, what the volunteers weren't told was that there was an easy trick to finish this task. The second number in the sequence would always be the correct final number.
After doing this task 60 times, volunteers got a 20 - minute break. Volunteers held the similar balls that Edison used as “alarm clocks”. The researchers told them to rest or sleep if they wanted to. All the while. their brain waves were kept track of (跟踪) . More than half of the volunteers stayed awake. Twenty- four fell asleep and stayed in the stage (阶段) of sleep called N1. Fourteen others progressed to N2, a deeper stage of sleep.
After their rest. volunteers returned to their number problem. People who reached the N1 stage of sleep were 2.7 times as likely to discover the hidden trick as people who stayed awake and were 5. 8 times as likely to discover the trick as people who fell into a deeper sleep stage.
“Such obvious (明显的) differences In such experiments arc not common,” said Delphine Oudiette, a scientist. “We were quite surprised at the results, and more work is needed to show the connection between N1 and creativity.” Interestingly, according to the result of the experiment, people may be able to lean to take advantage of that twilight stage of sleep. Undoubtedly. Edison is such a great person, but there is no need to pay too much attention to Edison's habit. He is also said to have considered sleep “a total waste of time”.
29. Why did Edison chase the twilight moments between wakefulness and sleep?
A. To fall asleep faster. B. To have inventive ideas.
C. To keep healthy. D. To be different.
30. How many volunteers stayed awake after the researchers told them to rest or sleep?
A. 65 B. 24 C. 14 D. 51
31. Who was the most likely to discover the hidden trick in the test?
A. Volunteers who stayed awake.
B. Volunteers who progressed to N2.
C. Volunteers who reached the N1 stage of sleep.
D. All the volunteers who took part in the study.
32. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It's necessary to pay much attention to Thomas Edison's habit.
B. Chasing the twilight moments proved to be true.
C. To show the connection between N1 and creativity, there is still a long way to go.
D. Delphine Oudiette is sure of the connection between N1 and creativity.
D
Tonight our family was going out to play under the full moon.
We first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, because my husband Todd and I, loved them and we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy and to function (起作用) in society. But after we became parents, we did this for our children. We wanted Sierra and Bryce to see that there is much magic in the natural world and that most of it is accessible (可达到的) to anyone. We also wanted to show them that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure, learn, and experience something new. Nearly every month, our family went into the night to “play” by the full moon.
Once we arrived at our location that evening, Sierra and I stood holding hands, waiting to cheer the full moon in its rising. A thin sliver of the apricot (杏黄色) moon poked above the shape of the Blue Mountain Ridge. Everyone stood up and watched its rising. More of the moon came out until it turned into a brilliant orange sphere. Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon makes no light of its own, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting (反射) the sunlight back to us long after the sun has sunk below the horizon (地平线).
“Does the moon's face change?” Bryce asked. I told him that the moon rotates with the earth, but it does not spin on its axis (轴) like the earth docs. The same side of the moon is always facing the earth. We never see the other side, the far side of the moon. Sierra said that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising. I explained that it is an optical illusion (视错觉) because it is so close to the horizon that the moon tricks our eyes into comparing it with nearby objects to create the impression of increased size.
Much of the knowledge that Todd and I shared with the kids had been learned from our past life experiences. If we did not have the knowledge to explain and educate. we looked it up, cither beforehand (提前) to improve the experience. or afterwards. together, after we wondered and came up with a list of questions.
Opportunities (机会) to explore magical experiences and learning is right in your neighbourhood. Sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and looking up at the heavens.
33. How often does the writer go to play under the full moon with his family?
A. Once a year. B. Once a month. C. Once a week. D. Every day.
34. What does the underlined word “rotate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Circle. B. Float. C. Rise. D. Drop.
35. The moon looks larger and closer when rising because ________.
A. the distance from the earth is becoming shorter
B. the other side of it never faces the earth
C. it does not spin on its axis like the earth does
D. comparing it with nearby objects creates an illusion
36. Which of the following opinions may the writer support?
A. Never travel far from home to have an adventure.
B. Travel far from home to have an adventure more often.
C. Good learning opportunities are just around the corner.
D. There is much more magic in books and most of it is accessible to anyone.
四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1. 5分,满分6分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Most people enjoy listening to music. But if you ask your classmates what kind of music they like, you may get many different answers. 37 What do these differences say about people?
Researchers from Cambridge University tried to answer the questions. They surveyed 350, 000 people from 50 different countries. 38
Outgoing people, for example, prefer rhythmic music and danceable music. People who enjoy country music are shown to be more serious about their work. One of the results is quite interesting. The researchers predicted (预测) that people who were under too much stress should like either sad music to express their feelings or rhythmic music to improve their moods. But it burned out that these people liked neither. 39 Perhaps it helps reduce their stress.
The researchers also found that climates might influence people's musical preferences (偏爱) and personality. People in warmer climates prefer danceable music. They are more outgoing. This may be a result of longer daylight hours and warmer evenings.
Of course, nothing is clear - cut (确切的). 40 The Cambridge study shows us that people of different cultures are more similar than we think.
“People may be divided by geography, language and culture,” said Dr. David Greenberg, the leading researcher. “But if an outgoing person in one part of the world likes the same music as outgoing people elsewhere, then we can say that music is really like a powerful bridge.
A. Do you enjoy listening to music?
B. In fact, they prefer loud and powerful music.
C. Too much stress makes people in a bad mood.
D. We may not group people just by their musical tastes.
E. Why do different people have different musical preferences?
F. Then, they discovered some connections between musical preferences and personality.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Calling someone names. spreading wrong information about someone, and threatening someone — these terrible things are all kinds of bullying. Nowadays, teenagers face 41 new kind of bullying: cyber - bullying (网络欺凌). Cyber - bullying is one of the bad sides of the technology. Smart phones and computers 42 (use) often to bully others by the bullies on the Internet.
There is a 43 (possible) that cyber-bullying will happen at any time or place. 44 teenagers feel safe at their own homes, they may still be cyber - bullied.
Not only is cyber - bullying hard to avoid, it is also hard to catch. It is quite easy to send a message by text from an 45 (know) phone number. Bullies spend little time 46 (set) up a social network account (网络账号) and share a bad message. And, if the bullies know how 47 (hide) the IP address. they can send a rude video to a website. And people wouldn't know who did it and how they would deal with it 48 (proper).
One of the most terrible things about cyber-bullying is that it can hurt more people than traditional forms of bullying. A bully can tell lies about a teenager and share them 49 the whole school at the touch of a button (按钮).
For some teenagers, it's too much. The UK charity Beatbullying suggests that up to 44 percent of suicides (自杀) among 10 - to 14 – year - olds may be caused by bullying.
The good news is that people 50 (take) action to fight against cyber-bullying over the last few years. Schools and websites like Childnet International offer advice and support to students. Social networks now advise users to think carefully about their privacy settings. Many also provide a special button for users to report uncomfortable or dangerous activities.

Dear classmates,
It's my honor to be here. It's known that labor is a glorious thing. As a teenager, I think labor is quite important for us teenagers.
There is no doubt that labor can exercise our practical ability. More importantly, it can make us happy. Last weekend, I got up early and made breakfast for my parents. First, I boiled some water and put some noodles into the pot. About several minutes later, I placed them in the bowls and added some salt and oil. When my parents got up, they were so surprised and praised me with a big smile. It Was the first time I cooked for them. I felt proud of myself because I could take care of my parents.
Labor is an important part of life. Let's take action and do some labor we can at home, at school or in society.
Thank you!
