Hi, I’m Lily and I live in England. Last week my class went to a museum. It’s about
life here in the nineteenth century. There were shops, a school and a house. There were
people wearing traditional costumes. You could talk to them about life in the past. One
was a storyteller and I loved her old stories.
My name’s Eric. I’m from Sweden and the Vikings(维京人) lived here a thousand
years ago. Last weekend we visited a Viking village. They live in wooden houses, wear
Viking clothes and eat Viking food. You can talk to them and they tell you all about the
Vikings. It’s a good way to learn history.
Hi, my name’s Anya. I live on a tulip farm, in Holland. Tulips are Holland’s national
flowers. There are about 3 billion tulips in Holland. The most famous tulip is the Queen
of the Night. It looks black, but in fact it’s very dark purple. In May, lots of people visit
the fields. You can eat tulip bulbs - and the flowers too!My name is Matt and I’m from Canada. The maple tree is our national tree. It has
beautiful red and yellow leaves. There is a maple leaf on the Canadian flag, and on one of
our coins too. Our favourite breakfast is pancakes with maple syrup(糖浆)! Maple syrup
is made from maple sap(树液). One tree produces about 1 litre of syrup.

A Hole in the Boat
Once a boat owner decided to get his boat painted. So one day, he called a painter and asked him to paint his
boat.
The painter brought paint and brushes with him and began to paint the boat with bright red color as the
owner asked him.
While painting the boat, he realized that there was a hole in the hull( 船体 ) and decided to repair it. After he
finished painting, the painter received his money from the owner and left.
The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter and presented him with a check, much higher than
the payment for painting. The painter was surprised and said, “You have already paid me for painting the boat. And
it was such a small service. Certainly, it’s not worth paying me such high amount for something so small.”
The owner said, “My dear friend, you do not understand. Let me tell you what happened. When I asked you
to paint the boat, I forgot to mention about the hole to you. When the paint on the boat dried, my kids took the boat
and went fishing. They didn’t know that there was a hole in the hull of the boat and I was not at home at that time.
When I returned and noticed that they had taken the boat, I was desperate( 绝望的 ) because I remembered that
there was a hole in the boat and I hadn’t asked you to repair it. Imagine my joy when I saw them returning from
fishing safely. Then I went to the boat and examined it, I was surprised to find that you had repaired that hole. You
see, now what you did? You saved our children’s life. I don’t have enough money to pay for your Small GoodDeed.”
No matter who, when or how…just continue to help. Because you never know when one is in need of us.
24. While painting the boat, the painter found __________.
A. the boat was broken badly

,

Have you ever been faced with a big task or challenge (挑战) at school? Setting goals can help you complete
those tasks and feel successful.
A goal is something that you decide to want, and you work hard to achieve it. Whether it’s preparing for a
big test or exercising to run a race, goal setting can help you get there! When you begin to set a goal, you may start
thinking right away about all of the steps you need to do.
●Think about your goal’s end result. It is important to have an idea in your mind, of what you want to achieve.
This can help you become excited about the goal and help you have a better idea of exactly what it will take for you
to achieve the end result.
●Create small steps. Let’s say you have a math test coming up and your goal is to make an A. Sounds a little
challenging! Instead of just saying that you hope you get an A, you can create small goals to help you get to the big
one. Tell yourself that each night you will review your math book for 15 minutes, rather than say that you are going
to study.
●Reflect ( 反思 ) and check. Once you set small goals, it is important to stop every now and then to reflect, or
to see how you are doing. Let’s think about runners who prepare to run a race. We’ll imagine the race is five mileslong. If a runner cannot run the full distance right away, they will build up to it by adding a little distance each time
they run. Along the way, they will reflect on their progress and ask questions. Can I run farther tomorrow? Do I
need to take a rest one day to make sure it doesn’t do harm to the health?
27. According to the passage, to get an A in a math test, you’d better__________.
A. keep excited about it all day
B. do lots of exercise until midnight
C. tell yourself to study hard every day
D. review your math book for a while each night
28. If we can’t run five miles right away, we can__________.
A. keep asking: “Can I run farther tomorrow?”
B. run one day and then take a rest the next day
C. complete it by adding a little distance each time we run
D. keep running and make sure it doesn’t harm our health
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Set a Goal
B. How to Feel Successful
C. How to Become Excited
D. How to Face a Big Challenge

Social Media… the Highs and Lows
Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of. However, for young
people today it is considered completely normal to share pictures of their lives and interact online every day. Fans
of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn
about the world and celebrate life.
However, many people have concerns about the effects of this new way of living, particularly around the
amount and type of information that is shared so openly.
Now researchers have found that too much time on social media may indeed have some negative( 消极的 )effects. They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after browsing social media sites. They found that
the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became.
There are a number of reasons for this. When browsing social media, people often see photographs and stories
showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People seldom post negative stories or bad
pictures, so it can be misleading. For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they
can end up feeling sad and depressed. They might think their lives are worse in comparison. Even for those people
who post positive(积极的) stories and pictures, they too can feel stressed and worried.
The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them worried about their popularity. Of course,
there is also the problem of “cyber bullying”(网络暴力 ) where people become victims of bullying online when
others make negative or cruel comments(评论) about them.
The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away. This research shows us
that it is important to deal with the relationship between our online and offline lives properly. We don’t have to
,
disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life but we should realise that the pictures we see and stories we read
are only part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives.
30. According to the passage, we know __________.
A. spending more time on social media makes people more enjoyable
.
B researchers haven’t found anything negative about social media
C. it is common for young people to share their lives online
D. the world is not so connected like before
31. The words “have concerns about” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “__________”.
A. feel worried about B. look forward to
C. speak highly of D. get used to
32. The writer says that social media can make people unhappy because __________.
.
A different people make different comments
B. there are many negative stories and bad pictures
C. they compare positive pictures to their own lives
D. the number of “likes” is larger than they expected
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To ask us to protect ourselves from “cyber bullying”.
B. To advise us to keep away from the Internet to live a happy life.
C. To remind us of posting positive stories and good pictures online.
D. To tell us to keep a balance between our online and offline lives.阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
As we know, running a marathon in less than two hours seemed impossible! Each year, runners all over the
world challenge themselves in the long running events that go on for tens of kilometers. On Oct. 12, Eliud
Kipchoge ran a record- breaking marathon.
He finished a 42.2-kilometer-long marathon in just 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds. The 34-year-old
Olympic champion (冠军) from Kenya became the first person to run a marathon of this length in less than two
hours.
“I can tell people that no human is limited. I expect more people all over the world to run under two hours
after today,” Kipchoge said.
Apart from Kipchoge’s hard work, a few science and technology tricks also helped him make the record.
Hills and turns slow runners down. Kipchoge’s team picked a course in Vienna. The city’s cool and dry
,
weather also helped keep Kipchoge’s body running more efficiently according to a sports magazine.
A special pair of shoes also played a big part. The shoes have a special kind of foam(泡沫).
It can take in a runner’s energy when their feet meet the ground. Then it returns part of the energy to the
runner, which helped Kipchoge run faster.
Kipchoge had a dream team of pacers as well. Five runners formed a V-shape ahead of Kipchoge. Two runners
followed directly behind to push him forward. The 41-member team took turns running every 5 kilometers.
Kipchoge stayed under a two-hour pace for almost the whole race. A pace car drove in front of everyone and put a
laser beam(激光束) on the road, keeping the team at the right pace.
“Few world records today are technology-free,” the newspaper said.
