Every Sunday morning I take a walk around a park near my home. There’s a lake in one corner of the park. Each time I walk by this lake, I see the same old woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage beside her.

This Sunday, I stopped walking and went over to her. As I got closer, I realized that there were three turtles (乌龟), unhurt, slowly walking around the base of the metal cage. She had a fourth turtle on her knee that she was carefully cleaning with a brush, which made me feel surprised.

“Hello, ” I said. “If you don’t mind, I’d love to know what you’re doing with these turtles. ”

“I’m cleaning off their shells, ” she replied.

“Anything on a turtle’s shell weakens the turtle’s ability to take in heat and blocks its ability to swim. It can also impair and weaken the shell over time. ”

She went on, “I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It’s my own strange way of making a difference. ”

“Well then, don’t you think your time could be better spent? It’s a waste of time. And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, how exactly are your efforts here truly making a difference?”

The woman smiled, then looked down at the turtle on her knee, wiped off the last piece of algae (海 藻) from its shell, and said, “Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he’d tell you I just made all the difference in the world. ”

4. What was the writer surprised at according to Paragraph 2?

A. Four turtles in the cage.

B. The beautiful scenery in the park.

C. A small metal cage put beside the water.

D. A woman cleaning off the turtles’ shells.

5. What does the underlined word “impair” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Hurt.          B. Clean.     C. Protect.            D. Paint.

6. Why did the writer doubt the woman’s efforts?

A. The woman had so much free time.

B. The woman didn’t protect the environment.

C. He thought the woman’s efforts meaningless.

D. He thought the turtles didn’t need to be cleaned.

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

A. A Strange Woman.           B. The Power of Kindness.

C. The Meaning of Cleaning.     D. Turtles in the Metal Cage.

C

Scientists have made great discoveries. But how have they influenced our personal lives? Do kids in your classroom even know when Einstein lived? You may be wondering: why is it important to teach kids stories about modern-day scientists?

First, stories of scientists can encourage kids. Chris Hadfield is a Canadian who went to space, and he's a real guitar-playing person. He makes singing videos on the website. His story can make kids think scientists are also common people. Hearing scientists' stories makes kids think that they can do that too.

But not only that, the stories of famous scientists can encourage kids to explore and never give up. Bill Nye was always refused when trying to be an astronaut. But up to now, he has made a lot of successes in his role as a popular science educator and engineer. Besides, it's no secret that scientific discoveries require trying, and trying again.

Another way some scientists can encourage kids is through their diversity. Neil deGrasse Tyson, for example, is an African-American, which is not common in his field. Such stories can make kids think anyone can be a scientist.

It's important to know that scientists don't need to be "gifted" or "good" at school. Often we consider a scientist as being an extremely smart kid at school, which doesn't have to be true. They just need to have a great interest in science. Telling students stories of scientists can encourage them to show interest in science. As long as they are interested, they are likely to become a scientist in the future.

Modern scientists teach kids that knowledge builds upon the foundation others have laid. This is important—no one can do it alone. Scientists' stories can encourage today's young scientists to keep trying. They'll be encouraged not to give up on the dream of exploring and making discoveries. Even if they haven't made important discoveries, their research may help the following scientists.

8. What can Chris Hadfield's story tell students?

A. Scientists are interested in different things.

B. Students should have a hobby of their own.

C. Scientists can be ordinary like people around us.

D. Students should consider scientists as their models.

9. Which of the following will the author agree with?

A. Scientists are not necessarily very smart at school.

B. Not all scientists really show interest in science.

C. Scientists are usually good at their schooling.

D. African-Americans are more likely to become scientists.

10. What can be learned according to the last paragraph?

A. Scientists should help each other.

B. A scientist should never give up trying.

C. Making discoveries is necessary for scientists.

D. New scientific discoveries may be based on others' findings.

11. What is the text mainly about?

A. Why scientists are important to us.

B. Why students love stories of scientists.

C. Why scientists can make great discoveries.

D. Why students should be taught stories about scientists.

D

Thanks to a new virtual reality film offering 360 degree viewing, armchair travelers around the world can now visit places like the Amazon rainforest. Provided freely by Conservation International, you'll be able to take in the breathtaking beauty and amazing biodiversity that is dished up in a film entitled "Under the Canopy" without worrying about being eaten alive by insects, giant snakes or bird spiders. Besides that, and saving on airfare and getting your passport updated, the film is said to be simply beyond belief in its clarity and realism.

But the purpose of the film goes beyond just providing viewers with amazing visuals in a virtual experience. The makers of the film want to bring awareness to the fact that this once vast wilderness and its occupants are shrinking rapidly and disappearing due to deforestation. In other words, the magnificent sights and sounds that you'll enjoy during your virtual wandering around the Amazon's beautiful rainforest need badly to be protected.

If you're not aware, a statistic in connection to annual forest loss in the region can be clarified: the loss is equal to 1. 5 times the size of Yellowstone National Park. Now, if you're still a little unclear about the significance of this, Yellowstone is 3, 472 square miles in size, which is 2, 221, 766 acres, if that helps you out.

In the film, you will have a virtual tour guide, Kamanja Panashekung, a native to the area whose ancestors have lived in the region for countless generations. During his educational tour Panashekung explains to viewers of the film the many ways in which the rainforest supplies his people with everything they need to survive on a daily basis. His story is actually pretty fantastic, especially if you live in city and can't imagine what it would be like living in such a wild and remote area of the world.

12. What aspect of the movie is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1?

A. The popularity.  B. The horror.     C. The strengths.      D. The purposes.

13. What feeling do the film makers wish the audience to have?

A. Guilt.         B. Curiosity.      C. Excitement.        D. Concern.

14. How does the author develop Paragraph 3?

A. By giving an example.                B. By giving a description.

C. By making a classification.            D. By making a comparison.

15. Who would be especially attracted to the guide's story?

A. Those who have interest in wild animals.

B. Those who have ancestors living in the region.

C. Those who think about developing rainforests.

D. Those who long for outdoor surviving experience.

A hobby farm is a small farm that's run for your own pleasure rather than for profit. 16_________ Where do you start? What do you need to know first? With these guiding principles, you can stay on course.

Start small. If you jump into hobby farming with both feet, there's a good chance you'll feel overwhelmed (不知所措的) with the care of seven or eight types of crops that are new to you. If you start with just one or two major crops per year, you'll have a chance to learn as you go with a lower rate of failure.  17 _________

Don't try to be profitable. If you're running a true business that you hope will earn you something beyond the food you eat, you're not a hobby farmer.  18________ Remember that you got into hobby farming for the fun of it.

Talk to other farmers. By talking to other people who have done—and are still doing—what you hope to do, you'll get basic and in-depth knowledge on farming. Even if you're in an urban area, there are probably other people who share similar goals.  19 ________ Consider joining a group that shares tips, tools, and other resources.

Be flexible with your choices.  20__________ You thought you'd enjoy growing corn, but find that you're more interested in growing green beans. That's okay. This is your farm—do whatever you want with it.

A. Take the time to connect with them.

B. You'll feel more relaxed as you add new crops each year.

C. This depends on how much time you can spend on farming.

D. You'll get used to a new relationship with farming practice.

E. If you're just getting started with your hobby farm, things might seem difficult.

F. Feel free to try different crops on your farm, and know that it's okay to change your mind.

G. You might make a little money by selling produce, but avoid spending more time selling than farming.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Kindness is everywhere in our life. Some of us are just thankful and some help a lot.

When browsing WeChat or other apps, there must be a few people asking for help like “Oh, I forgot to bring my book back. Can you take a picture of the text?” It's nothing at all for us to do more than lifting a finger, but most times, many people choose to turn off their phones or pretend that they didn't see the note. There will be somebody who answers him somehow, but he doesn't need to be me. Thinking of that, we won't be sorry for him.

But when we're really in need, it's such a kindness of him to reply quickly.

It was a beautiful sunny spring day. I had just finished driving my daughter to the airport to catch an early morning flight. My sons and I then went to a fast food restaurant for breakfast before heading back home. After eating we all got into the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

The restaurant was at the very top of a hill. At the bottom of the hill was a stop sign so we found ourselves at the end of a long line of waiting traffic while the cars at the bottom turned onto the main road one at a time.

As I looked down to the bottom of the hill my eyes saw an elderly man standing by the stop sign. His clothes were old and worn. He held a cardboard sign with the words “Need Help Please!” written on it.

My heart went out to him and I imagined myself in his situation.

As car after car turned onto the road without stopping for him, I reached for my wallet to look for whatever cash that was left in it.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

As I was pulling it out of my pocket, though, I saw a young woman walk up to him along the side of the road.

By the time I reached the bottom of the hill, both the elderly man and the lady who had helped him were gone.

Dear Peter，

Learning that you not only enjoy Chinese dishes but try cooking them, I'm more than glad to invite you to my home and to have a taste of the dishes cooked on my own.

Let's first decide on the date. Is it convenient for you to come at 10 am next Saturday? Then we will have almost two hours to prepare the meal and I will have enough time to show you how to cook it. By the way, there are many recipe books in my home. You can choose whichever you're interested in.

Look forward to your coming.

Yours,

Li Hua

As I was pulling it out of my pocket, though, I saw a young woman walk up to him along the side of the road. She was carrying a bag full of food taken out from the fast food restaurant where I had breakfast with my sons just now. Then she handed it to the old man and gave him a hug. The old man thanked the young woman with a smile. Suddenly a loud honk from the car behind me made me realize that I hadn't been moving forward, because this simple choice for kindness had captured my attention and my heart.

By the time I reached the bottom of the hill, both the elderly man and the lady who had helped him were gone. Yet, as I drove home the sun seemed to shine even more brightly. A choice is such a powerful thing. Each day we are given a choice. It can touch a heart and change a life. May you make all of yours of kindness. May you make your whole life a choice for love, help and joy.
