My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?”
Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? I didn’t even get an allowance. “My father is going to have a fit,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I was pulled it skyward. I told the truth. “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had done.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It’s time we got a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide — the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo forever.

4. From the story, we can learn that the boy ________.

In June 2020, a minute-long video with a young ballet student dancing in the rain began popular on the Internet.
The popularity of the video has attracted people’s attention on the unlikely story of a ballet school in a poor small town of Lagos, Nigeria: the Leap of Dance School. Set up in 2017, the school has changed the lives of its students, providing them a place to dance and to dream. And in the last few months, it has inspired influential people in ballet to lend a hand. Seemingly overnight, a world of chances has opened up. The students have received invitations to attend famous schools and companies overseas, and the school has received lots of donations, which will help them build a proper space and a real dance floor.
For now, the Leap of Dance School is housed at the home of its founder, Daniel Owoseni Ajala. Every day after school, Mr Ajala’s 12 students walk to his apartment, where he pushes aside his furniture to leave a space to dance.
When Mr Ajala, 29, set up Leap of Dance three years ago, he had only a dream: to open a ballet school for students who were serious about learning the art form and possibly pursuing (追求) it professionally one day.
As a child, Mr Ajala became crazy about ballet after watching Save the Last Dance. The 2001 movie tells about a young ballet dancer who overcomes all kinds of difficulties and finally achieves her dream.
Mr Ajala taught himself by watching lessons and professional companies on YouTube; he also signed up for a few crash courses in ballet which take a very short period at a local dance centre. And so the Leap of Dance school was born.

8. What do we know about the Leap of Dance School?
A. It was established in 2020.
B. It has a great influence on its students.
C. It was set up by influential people in ballet.
D. It had real dance floors when it was established.

9. Why did Mr Ajala open a ballet school?
A. To draw people’ s attention.
B. To make money for his dream.
C. To make movies about dancing.
D. To help students who love ballet.
10. Why was the movie Save the Last Dance mentioned?
A. To share a precious memory.
B. To stress the popularity of the movie.
C. To show Mr Ajala liked watching movies.
D. To explain why Mr Ajala fell in love with ballet.
11. What does the underlined word “crash” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Breaking. B. Responsible.
C. Speeded-up. D. Competitive.

D
As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.
Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.
It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.
You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!

12. As far as the author is concerned, teenage years are ________.
A. a period of complete freedom
B. too hard for young people to get through
C. an important time for the young to make the right choices
D. a very important period for young students to leave their parents
13. The underlined words “some people” in paragraph 4 probably refer to “________”.
A. Your parents. B. Your classmates.
C. True friends. D. Your relatives.
14. The best title for this passage would be “________”.
A. The Choices in Life B. The Key to Success
C. Say Goodbye to the Past D. Becoming a Young Adult
15. Who is the passage mainly intended for?
A. Teenagers. B. Teachers.
C. Young parents. D. Adults.

五、七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many teenagers may have a very confusing time filled with worries in high school. Here are some tips which can help you succeed in the years.
1 You may be faced with too many choices in your life and it’s unwise to try everything. Just focus on your favorite. Consider all the benefits that it brings into your life and then see how you can develop your passion into a possible job choice.
Get away from the friends that offer unfriendly advice and negativity (否定性). There is no place for that kind of behavior at any stage of your life. And you should value yourself highly enough to get rid of these people. 2
Read as much as you can. Pick up a book on anything that increases your knowledge. Stop spending hours in watching your favorite TV shows. 3 You’ll notice in a few days how you begin to see things in a different way.
Limit the time spent on social media. I am 19 years old, so I understand just how much time can be wasted on technology, especially the Internet and cellphones. 4 Instead once you spend that time improving yourself, your life begins to shape and turn into exactly what you want it to be.
Make mistakes. Look at a mistake you’ve made from every possible way and take the lessons from it. 5 You can’t achieve this by trying to be perfect all the time. It’s okay to make mistakes.

A. Get ready to try different things.
B. Know yourself and pick a direction.

We send our children to school to prepare them 3 the future when they grow up and have to work for 4 (they). Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life. But is that 5 only reason why they go to school?

7. who/that 考查定语从句。句意：真正知道如何学习的人总会成功的……。在这个句子中，先行词是a man，挖空处所填的关系代词指代先行词，引导定语从句并在从句中作主语。故填who/that。
8. successful 考查词性转换。句意：真正知道如何学习的人总会成功的……。结合句意并分析句子结构可知，挖空处应该用形容词作表语，表示“成功的”。故填successful。
9. to teach 考查固定搭配。句意：……他还能够教会他人如何用最好的方法做这件事情。be able to do sth.意为“能够做某事”。故填to teach。
10. students 考查名词单复数。句意：所以学校的目的不是教语言、历史、科学等，而是教学生学习的方法。根据常识可知，此处应该用student的复数形式作teach的宾语，表示泛指。故填students。

Dear Xiao Wang,
I have received and read your letter, in which you mentioned that you wanted to lose weight by dieting.
It is only natural that young girls at your age hope to look beautiful. However, in my opinion, health is more important than beauty. For a student, studying is the first thing to consider while appearance is the second. So do not let others’ opinions affect your normal life. Besides, if you do want to lose weight, it is a good idea to do it by getting more exercise and changing unhealthy eating habits. The most important thing is that you keep a healthy state of mind, as it will help with your studies and life.
I do hope my advice will be of some help and I’m looking forward to your next letter.
Yours,
Li Hua
