题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson.
Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of
the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams
helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community( 社区) by
creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams
became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her
popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful
effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,
she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state
senator(参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor
gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat
on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the
Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights
movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
21.What is Jane Addams noted for in history?
A. Her social work.
B. Her teaching skills.
C. Her efforts to win a prize.
D. Her community background.

C. The discrimination against women.
D. The poor financial conditions.
23. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the US?
A. Jane Addams. B. Rachel Carson. C. Sandra Day O’Connor. D. Rosa Parks
24.What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?
A. They are highly educated. B. They are truly creative.
C. They are pioneers. D. They are Peace-lovers.
B
At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊断）with a kind of attention disorder. It made school
difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all
within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor
said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are no different from your classmates,
young man.”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a
blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education.
But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My
thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes.
Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his
way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a
surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the
———
paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”
25.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because ． .
A. He was new to the class
B. He was tried of literature
C. He had an attention disorder
D. He wanted to take the task home
26.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?
A. He had good sight. B. He made a great invention.
C. He gave up reading. D. He learned a lot from school.
27.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The disabled should be treated with respect.
B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.
C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.
D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.
C
I am an active playgoer and play-reader，and perhaps my best reason for editing this
book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have
searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and
purpose of the short play.
Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家)hopes to get across
through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing
out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking
about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is
represented here. These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional
drama. To show the versatility(多面性)of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a
radio play and a television play.
Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell
Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received
Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights
will be found at the end of this book.
To get the most out of reading these plays，try to picture the play on stage，with you，
the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to open, and in
a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.
28. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A. He has written dozens of plays.
B. He has a deep love for the theater.
C. He is a professional stage actor.
D. He likes reading short plays to others.
29. What does the author avoid doing in his work?
A. Stating the plays’ central ideas.
B. Selecting works by famous playwrights.
C. Including various types of plays.
D. Offering information on the playwrights.
30. What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays?
A. Control their feelings.
B. Apply their acting skills.
C. Use their imagination.
D. Keep their audience in mind.
31. What is this text?
A. A short story.
B. An introduction to a book.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C. A play review.
D. An advertisement for a theater.
D
It’s not easy being a teenager nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager．You can
——
make your child feel angry, hurt or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it
yourself．It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting
him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you．
Expect a lot from your child, just not everything．Except for health and safety problems,
such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child
is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind．The more you
insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up．Instead，let him attempt to solve things by himself.
At the same time，remind him that you’re always there for him if he should seek advice or
help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy. Never read his mail or listen in on personal
conversations．
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the
family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for l5 minutes, but then he must stay off
the phone for at least all equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other
family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation(节制).Or
if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own
pocket money or a part-time job．
32．The main purpose of the text is to tell parents ．
A. how to get along with a teenager
B. how to help a teenager grow up
C. how to understand a teenager
D. how to respect a teenager
33. What does the phrase "clam up" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. refuse to talk B. show respect
C. become excited D. seek help
34. The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager ．
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A. to pay for his own telephone B. to use the phone in a sensible way
C. to share the phone with friends D. to answer the phone quickly
35. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?
A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs.
B. Let him have his own telephone.
C. Give him advice only when necessary.
D. Not talk about personal things with him.

How to Improve Your Study Habits
Perhaps your are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in
school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. 36 Yes, even students of
average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here are some tips for you:
1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or
chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then
decide on good, regular times for studying. 37 It’s important to set aside time for relaxation,
hobbies, and entertainment as well. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that
you have adequate time for both work and play.
2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a
chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have
distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject.
3. 38 Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can
see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.
4. Study regularly. 39 Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you
remain confused about. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will
become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved
performances on test.
5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively
about a single test. Tests provide more than grades. 40
A. Be volunteer to raise questions.
B. Make good use of your time in class.
C. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class.
D. Those who make the best of their time study with more ease.
E. They also let you know what you need to spend more time studying on.
F. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.
G. This is not necessarily the case, however. You can receive better grades if you want to.

Dad pushed his finger into my basket. “What’s that?” he asked. “Mew,” said the basket.
Dad suddenly pulled his hand away. “Oh no,” he said. “Not a cat. No way. ”
I pulled Checkers from the basket. “It's not a cat. It’s a kitten. Can I keep him? Please? ”
Dad frowned for a minute, thinking. Then he rubbed Checkers under the chin(下巴).
“You’ll have to take good care of him. ”
I hugged Checkers. “I will,” I promised. “He won't be any trouble at all.” And Checkers
wasn’t until he grew into a cat. He wanted to be the first one in the house; and the first one
——
out of the house. Sometimes he blocked dad in the way. “That cat! ” Dad complained.
Checkers climbed onto our roof. He had no trouble getting down. Usually he aimed for Dad.
“That cat!” Dad yelled. Checkers flushed the toilet and watched the water circle away. “That
cat!” Dad was almost mad. Checkers hid in strange places. He liked to surprise people.
One day he hid under the couch. Dad walked by with a glass of orange juice. Checkers
jumped out. He curled around Dad’s ankle and attacked Dad’s toes. Orange juice spilt all over
the floor. Dad yelled and put Checkers outside. “Get out of my way, cat!” he said angrily. And
he slammed the door.
Dad washed the injured toes and peeled open a bandage. He wrapped it around his big
toe, and then he opened four more for his ankle.
I watched from the window. Checkers looked frustrated as he walked down the road.
“I’m sorry Checkers scratched you,” I said. “He was just playing. He didn't mean to hurt
you. ”
“Don’t worry, ” said Dad. “That cat will be back. ”
After supper I called for Checkers. But Checkers didn’t come. Nighttime came. I called
and called. I knocked his food dish with a spoon loudly. But still no Checkers. I left the porch
light on. But the next morning Checkers still wasn’t there.
I carried a picture of Checkers to all the neighbors. I drew posters and hung them all
over. But nobody found Checkers.
Days went by. Life wasn’t the same without that cat. I was angry with Dad. I didn’t think
he missed Checkers at all.
