A six-year-old longing to keep a unicorn in her backyard figured she'd get the hard part out of the way first.

Last November, Madeline wrote a letter to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control with a straightforward request. "Dear LA County, I would like your approval if | can have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one. Please send me a letter in response."

Director Mayeda replied two weeks later. The department does in fact license unicorns, she said, under certain conditions. Those include polishing the unicorn's horn at least once a month with a soft cloth, feeding it watermelon at least once a week， covering it with only nontoxic and biodegradable sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight, moonbeams and rainbows. And， because unicorns are indeed very rare to find, the department is also giving Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search, as a token of appreciation.

"It is always rewarding to hear from young people who thoughtfully consider the requirements of providing a loving home for animals," Mayeda wrote in the letter. "I like your sense of responsible pet ownership to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in Los Angeles County."

Mayeda told the Washington Post that this is the first time the department has received a request for a license for a unicorn or any mythical creature. They were impressed with the first-grader for wanting to ask permission in the first place, and doing her research to work out how to go about that. She and her colleagues deal with a lot of "life-and-death" issues on the job, whether that's seeing cases of animal abuse or animals hurting people or making decisions about having to put down dangerous or sick animals. So Madeline's letter has considerably brightened their spirits, and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application. Safe to say, she's in for a magical surprise.

4. Why did Madeline write the letter?

A. To apply to visit a unicorn.

B. To learn to provide animal care.

C. To ask permission to keep a pet.

D. To figure out how to find a unicorn.

5. What can we learn from paragraph 3?

A. Her application was disapproved.

B. Requirements should be met for the license.

C. She was presented with a live unicorn.

D. Guidance was given for her search.

6. Which of the following best describes Mayeda?

A. Imaginative.   B. Sensitive.   C. Flexible.   D. Convincing.

7. Why does the department think the letter "has brightened their spirits"?

A. Because it is the first application letter for a pet.

B. Because animal protection is a life-and-death issue.

C. Because they are worn out with their daily work.

D. Because they are touched with the girl's deeds.

C

Imagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came out of a supermarket box, meaning it was probably harvested when it was still unripe. By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the vine for two weeks. The other strawberry was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten.

Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages: they are convenient and still available even in winter months. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing music in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old CD player. The home-grown fruit is an eatable case for making a home garden.

Your columnist, who long considered gardening a complete waste of time, advances this argument with great enthusiasm. Planting cool-weather greens, as gardeners across the north-east of America are now doing， can seem nonsense, since convenient, continuously well-stocked supermarket shelves are available all week. But the same could be said of cooking: there are many cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals?

That attitude misconstrues the ultimate appeal of gardening: it mistakes the product for the purpose. It is true that a garden can produce tomatoes and carrots of incomparable sweetness, and celtuce and herbs that taste like themselves rather than the plastic they are usually packaged in. While finding, let's say, celtuce in the shops can take some time, effort, and expense, growing your own vegetables ensures a reliable supply.

On the other hand, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration. Green hands may plant the wrong crops for their soil. And even expert gardeners can lose a season's harvest to uncooperative weather.

No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure-as with cooking. Writing or almost anything worthwhile-is in the work itself. To garden is to patiently, lovingly and diligently help life become strong and healthy, in the ground and above it.

8. What can we know about the supermarket strawberries?

A. They look distinct from home-grown ones.

B. They give out pleasant and fresh smell.

C. They are picked days before fully grown.

D. They are planted typically in winter.

9. What does the underlined word "misconstrues" mean in paragraph 4?

A. Misinterprets.   B. Transforms.   C. Mistrusts.    D. Highlights.

10. Why does the author mention the failures in gardening?

A. To warn readers not to take up gardening easily.

B. To advise readers to work in harmony with nature.

C. To make readers reflect on the methods of gardening.

D. To help readers have a whole picture of gardening.

11. What is the author's opinion on gardening?

A. It's a difficult and time-consuming process.

B. Products of gardening make

C. The time and efforts invested make it a delight.

D. It reduces the cost of purchasing vegetables.

D

Everyone knows what makes a good story. Our hero starts their journey as a flawed being. In scene after scene, they face challenges that push them down new paths. By the end of the talc, they overcome setbacks and become a better person in the process.

We love these plots in the novels we read but the principles of a good story offer much more than entertainment. Recent research shows that the narratives we tell ourselves about our lives can powerfully help us recover from stress. People who generate tales of struggling and turning over a new leaf from their own lives appear to have much better mental health. Professor Dan McAdams put forward this idea and discovered that whether someone can describe having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of mental health. Another key theme involved is finding some kind of positive meaning after stressful events.

McAdams invited 14 and 15-year-olds to join in an experiment to write about their experiences of failure and success. Half of them were then given extra instructions to describe the ways they had made their success a reality and how the failure had changed them for the better. Eight weeks later, members of this group reported greater persistence and better grades in their schoolwork.

Exciting as these results are, some experts sound a few notes of caution. They worry that, hearing about the power of self-narratives, many people may feel they have to find a positive turning point in life. If they can't, they could end up feeling guilty about having somehow "failed".

Clearly, self-narratives aren't the panacea. Nevertheless, if you hope for self-improvement, you can use the findings to good effect. By recognizing ourselves as the hero at the center of our own struggles, we can all become the author of our own destiny and change ourselves for the better.

12. What does the research focus on?

A. The causes of stress.

B. The principles of narrative.

C. The connection between struggle and well-being.

D. The link between mental health and self- narratives.

13. Why is the experiment mentioned in paragraph 3?

A. To give proof.

B. To make predictions.

C. To draw a conclusion.

D. To make comparisons.

14. What does the underlined word “panacea" in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Attempt to get rid of worries.

B. Means of recognizing yourself.

C. Solution to adolescent problems.

D. Guarantee to become better people.

15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Embrace Life Struggles

B. Be Your Own Hero

C. Ways to Make a Good Story

D. The Power of Self-improvement

Melati and Isabel deeply love their home on the island, surrounded by tropical rain forests, green fields, and a vast ocean. Enjoying a swim at their local beach was once a daily pleasure for them. But when Melati was fifteen, and Isabel just ten, the sisters started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters near their borne. More often than not, plastic bags would be around them as they swam and some were scattered on the beach. They got really upset about that.

Melati didn't think much about it until one day her teacher gave a lesson on some world heroes. Each of those people had sparked movements of positive changes in the world. They believed in the impact they could have and they did inspire more people to do something meaningful. After school, Melati walked home slowly in silence, concerned about the vast amount of plastic rubbish on the beach. The heroes crossed her mind. If they could do it, we could do it too, she thought. The idea lit her up. She couldn't wait to share what she thought with Isabel and quickened her pace.

"So many plastic bags around! The beach is dirty and messy! It's so terrible! We have lost the clean and beautiful beach. Can't we do something to get it back?" Melati said heartily. lsabel felt a bit puzzled at what to do, but she also had a strong desire to do something. Picturing a beach as fascinating as before in mind, the pair jumped with joy.

They talked a lot, anxious to know how Dad and Mom would respond to their ideas. That night when the family sat by the dinner table, the sisters eagerly got their ideas across. While Mom and Dad listened to the girls carefully, their eyes shone. "How amazing that would be! We are so proud of you!" Dad exclaimed. Mom came up, gave them a thumb up and hugged the sisters.

According to the survey conducted in our school, 43% of the students prefer to read science books, followed by comics readers, which accounts for 26%. 18% of the students enjoy reading sports and music books while 13% of the students like to read classical books.

|t is encouraging to see SO many students reading regularly, as reading can improve comprehension skills and cultivate imagination. However, we should also encourage students to read books outside their comfort zone to broaden their horizons and explore new perspectives.

47. 第二节

Melati and Isabel decided to make a positive impact straight away. They took advantage of their spare time to pick up rubbish on the beach. However, it was soon that they realized that they couldn't solve the problem on their own for there was so much plastic. After discussions and preparations, they started an organization to spread their idea among youth, involving more youths in the movement, which proved to be a hit. More and more teenagers took part. In a month, they altogether collected and recycled 2.5 tons of plastic, recovering the beautiful beach.

One month later, Melati received a call from the local newspaper. The two girls were invited to an interview in which they were asked what inspired them to start the organization, what the biggest challenges are and what advice they have for young people who want to make changes in this world. They said a team is what keeps them going on the challenging days and added, "keeping our team engaged and motivated has been a challenge and we are happy to have a positive influence." Melati and Isabel are heroes who make a big difference to our world.
