Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Becca was 6 when she was told she had cancer on Sept. 8, 2014. She clearly remembers the bad days of her 26 months of non­stop treatment. Luckily, Becca celebrated her final treatment on Nov. 13, 2016, and she has been cancer­free ever since. But she was thinking about what her life was like while experiencing treatment.

I was never able to do much, and that's what the kids lying in their hospital beds right now experience, asking their mom and dad, “When are we leaving? When can I play with my friends？” So I decided I have to help them.

In February, 2017 Becca came up with the idea for Knots and Arrows, a company that makes bracelets (手镯) out of swimsuit materials (泳衣布料). Part of the money made from each bracelet goes to the organizations that help people with cancer.

Becca created the company with her father, Gerhard Salmins. Gerhard Salmins once had cancer and already recovered from it. “I would be in the hospital sitting there crying and then my dad would come in and he would play games with me，” she said. “It made me forget about what I was going through.” Becca said the name of the organization shows the motto (座右铭) she stuck to through her personal cancer journey.

Her organization has already given thousands of dollars to research organizations and families in need. Becca said she hopes her bracelets will make people remember that great things can result from small changes. “No matter what age you are, what you look like, how you act, you can make a difference！” she said.

Kids and science seem to be made for each other!

The basic science is a combination of thought  and experiment called the scientific method. It's where you start with an idea, create a way to prove or disprove your idea, and show what you learned based on facts. Learning to follow this process helps you think logically (逻辑地) and carefully. These important thinking skills can be used in many areas of study. To give a child practice with these thinking skills is like giving vitamins (维生素) to a developing mind.

One of the greatest things we can teach our children is to love learning. Learning science is a great way to do so. Children are easy to be interested in science. Because much of science is hands­on, it attracts most children. Nothing makes a child sit up and take notice like the “WOW！” of a great science showing.

Science opens doors to many subjects at school. Building love for science can be helpful in other areas of study. For example, one cannot love science for very long without becoming good at its language — math! So science encourages children to study math. An interest in science is an interest in how things were once understood compared to how they are understood now. Thus studying science lends itself easily to studying history. And after you do an experiment, you need to write a lab report. Therefore, writing becomes an important part of science.

Science is the basic thing for much of our life. The science of farming shows how our food is produced; biomedical science keeps us healthy; even our beds these days are designed according to scientific facts. We almost eat, sleep and breathe with the help of science! When we prepare the next generation (一代) of voters, creators, and policy makers, it is important to make sure they are not only comfortable but also good at science.

【语篇解读】　小孩子应该学习科学，因为学习科学对他们而言有很多好处。

5．According to Paragraph 2, what does learning the scientific method mean to kids?

A．Refusing any ideas that are not logical.

B．Helping them develop thinking skills.

C．Learning many areas of study.

D．Learning to do experiments.

答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第二段的“Learning to follow this process helps you think logically and carefully. These important thinking skills can be used in many areas of study...”可知，学习科学可以帮助孩子们培养好的思维方式。

C．Science could make children love learning.

D．Children who can't think carefully shouldn't learn science.

Ⅱ.七选五

Go fly a kite

Learning how to fly a kite is simple, and  flying kites can be a fun form of exercise.

Of course, the first thing you need is a kite and a ball of string (线)  __1__  Then wait for a windy day.

When the perfect day arrives, find an open space, such as a field.  __2__

Before flying your kite, find out which way the wind is blowing.  __3__  To begin flying your kite, stand with your back to the wind and hold the kite up so the wind can catch it. If the day is not very windy, you may need to get your kite started by running.

 __4__ At the same time, walk backwards a few steps to keep the string tight (拉紧的). Now that your kite is up in the air, you can decide how long to fly it and how high you want it to go.

 __5__ Slowly wind up (卷起) the string. Try not to pull your kite in too fast or it may crash (坠落)．

Flying a kite is a great way to spend a windy afternoon. If you follow these steps carefully, you will have something more fun to do than sitting inside and watching TV. So on the next windy day, get up off the sofa. Go fly a kite!

A．You can do this by throwing grass into the air.

B．Finally, you will need to bring your kite down.
