There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn't sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it's in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”
Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It's a very special chair. Because it's invisible (无形的) it's rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you'll be able to tell who your true friends are.”
Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You're about to see something amazing,” Mario said.
Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto
his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn't be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn't fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.
Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn't fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.
Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.
24. What did Mario's grandpa take from the attic?
A. An invisible chair. B. An old chair.
C. A real chair. D. Nothing.
25. Why did Mario's grandpa give him the invisible chair?
A. To see whether Mario could sit on it.
B. To test who were Mario's true friends.
C. To let Mario have fun with his classmates.
D. To test whether Mario was popular at school.
26. How was Mario able to hover in mid-air?
A. He saw the invisible chair suddenly.
B. He managed to sit on the chair finally.
C. His friends held him up with their hands.
D. His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.
27. What does the story tell us?
A. Never laugh at our friends.
B. True friends can help us do magic.
C. True friends are those who care for us.
D. Having too many good friends isn't a good thing.
C
When you play video games, what types of games do you play? Do you enjoy creative, imaginative games like Minecraft? Or are sports or racing games more your style?
Another popular kind of video game is the role-playing game (RPG). Although RPGs may combine many elements from other types of games, the key aspect of an RPG is that, as a player, you assume the role of a specific character. Whether you’re in a fantasy, historical or modern-day setting, you interact with the game’s imaginary world as if you were the character you play.
Fascinating as modern role-playing video games are, they all have a very low-technology origin: the pen and paper tabletop (桌面) game Dungeons and Dragons (D&D). Created by Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax in 1974, D&D was the first RPG. Even though it wasn’t electronic, it had all the characteristics that RPGs have become known for: interesting characters, classes, abilities, races, and experience points. D&D players used pencils, paper, books and dice (骰子). They used their imagination to create attractive storylines (故事情节) and, perhaps most importantly, had a lot of real, face-to-face social interaction with their friends. D&D set the stage for all the RPGs that would follow. Now, high-tech RPGs have become the choice of most young people. However, D&D is still played today by many despite the prevalence of the high-tech video games.
Players of RPGs usually focus on how much fun they have playing the game. However, besides all that fun, they are also learning a variety of skills that will help them in school and their future careers. RPGs require a lot of reading, so they definitely help improve reading skills. Developing imaginative storylines for characters requires a high level of creativity. As players develop their storytelling skills, they also learn how to think critically and solve problems as part of a team. Face-to-face interaction with friends also improves social skills.
28. What do the players need to do in an RPG?
A. Choose a role. B. Design a scene.
C. Make up a story. D. Fight the enemy.
29. What do we know about the first role-playing game?
A. It’s pretty easy to play. B. Players play it face to face.
C. The Internet is a must for it. D. It is a single computer game.
30.What does the underlined word “prevalence” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Importance. B. Convenience.
C. Popularity. D. Improvement.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A. Fun of playing RPGs. B. Tips for playing RPGs.
C. Specific rules of RPGs. D. Benefits of RPGs for players.
D
Have you ever been on an airplane, minding your own business, and found your eyes filled with tears for no reason? Or perhaps you sat near someone who burst into tears. Is there something happening to your body that triggers (引发) the tears?
There sure is! When you’re inside a flying airplane, you’re miles off the ground. Not exactly a place where humans usually find themselves. The airplane is pressurized (加压) to keep passengers comfortable. But it’s still not the pressure levels that you’ll experience at ground level. It’s a bit like having climbed a pretty high mountain.
The primary tear-trigger is the lower amount of oxygen in your blood. The oxygen levels in the plane are lower than you’ll find on the ground. And it can bring you bad feelings.
Another cause is dehydration(脱水). Because the air in the plane is very dry, we may get dehydrated. And being dehydrated can have all kinds of harmful effects on your 30,000-foot-high body, which is making you have bad feelings like sadness and worry. In fact, there is a spiritual reason, too! Even if you’re not afraid of planes, it’s a high-stress situation. Taking a flight often involves saying goodbye to someone in the place you’re leaving. You can also be worried about plane crash or losing your baggage.
You can drink plenty of water before your flight to fight back your tears. You can also keep your mind busy with a puzzle or brain game. And if you’re going to watch a movie, maybe choose one that’s a bit more relaxing. In short, make flying a more pleasant and less stressful experience.
32. Why did the author raise questions in Paragraph 1?
A. To lead to the topic of the text.
B. To give background information.
C. To research how many people cry on an airplane.
D. To ask who knows why people cry on an airplane.
33. What triggers tears when you’re on an airplane according to Paragraph 2?
A. The temperature inside the plane. B. The altitude you’re at.
C. The weather. D. Your health.
34. Which one is RIGHT according to Paragraph 4?
A. One shouldn’t sleep in the plane in case of losing his/her baggage.
B. One may not feel afraid when the plane flies below 30,000 feet high.
C. One that often feels sad or worried is not fit to take a plane.
D. One may lose too much water from his/her body when he/she travels by plane.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Suggestions on how to take a safe flight.
B. Advice on how to get over fears when flying.
C. Tips on how to hold back tears while you’re flying.
D. Ways of making you comfortable while you’re flying.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was in the fifth grade, my parents and I moved abroad. One day, when reading the newspaper, I learned my hometown had just gone through a big natural disaster. And my hometown couldn’t get enough new school supplies for kids. I wondered how the kids were going to school if they didn’t have basic things like desks and books.
That same year, my school received new desks. The hundreds of old ones, which were still in good condition, were put into storage (贮存). And I learned there was little chance that the old desks would be used by my school again. I thought it was a waste. If my school really didn’t need the desks, could I send them to the kids in my hometown? When I told my parents about the old desks at my school and what I thought could be done with them, they loved the idea.
Then, we asked a leader of my school if the school could have the desks donated to my hometown. She said she needed to get some other people’s agreement. One day later, she gave us the answer. It was “yes”! But she wasn’t sure whether we were able to move the desks to such a far place. Desks are very heavy and it would cost a lot to ship them.
But my parents and I wouldn’t give up. We began e-mailing organizations that worked for children’s rights, asking for their help. My parents’ friends also helped us by e-mailing shipping companies, hoping they’d agree to ship the desks to my hometown.
Eventually, our efforts paid off. With the help of some organizations, a shipping company promised to ship the desks to my hometown through one of their big containers. And they’d let us use their trucks to transport the desks to the container. But we needed to load (装上) the desks onto the trucks and then carry the desks from the trucks to the container ourselves.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

There is no denying the fact that heavy haze has hit many northern parts of our country frequently these years.
Haze causes serious air pollution and people can hardly breathe in this smoggy weather. Without doubt, haze not only does great harm to our health but also lowers our quality of life.
Haze pollution serves as a good reminder that we must take good care of our planet. Never should we develop economy at the cost of the environment. Haze pollution can come from a variety of human activities. It’s time that we took effective measures to stop haze!

One possible version:
When the day arrived, my parents and I started to move the desks onto the trucks. Surprisingly, many teachers and students came to help. It was a big project, and there were hundreds of old desks to move, but we made it. Soon, we arrived at the port in a truck. There, we took all the desks off the trucks and put them into the container. I was very tired, but when I thought of the smiling faces of kids in my hometown, I felt good inside.
Then we waited for the desks to reach my hometown. Days later, all the desks arrived in my hometown and were sent to the schools that needed them. And we received many thanks from the kids we helped. My parents and I were glad we could still support our hometown though we were abroad. With the help of the kind people around us, now we’re still supporting our hometown in various ways.

M: Blowing with 155 km/h winds, Hurricane Florence destroyed buildings, trapped hundreds of people and flooded entire communities along the Carolina coast on Friday, August, 2018.
A woman died after she suffered a heart attack.A mother and her baby were killed when a tree fell on a house. ⑰Also,a 77-year-old man was apparently knocked down by the wind and died after going out to check on his hunting dogs, and another person was killed trying to plug in a generator while a man died when he was knocked to the ground outside.
⑱After reaching a shocking Category 4 peak of 225 km/h earlier in the week, Florence made landfall as a Category I hurricane of 75 km/h at 7:15 a.m. at Wrightsville Beach,a few kilometers east of Wilmington and not far from the South Carolina line.
⑲Florence could leave a surprising 68 trillion liters of rain over a week on North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia,Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Maryland. That's enough to fill the Chesapeake Bay or cover the entire state of Texas with nearly 10 centimeters of water. North Carolina alone is forecast to get 36 trillion liters, enough to cover the state to a depth of about 25 centimeters.
Ashley Warren and her boyfriend Chris Smith managed to paddle away from their home in a boat with their two dogs,and the experience left her shaken. "Honestly, I grew up in Wilmington.I love hurricanes. But this one has been an experience for me,”she said. ⑳ "We might leave."
