The Girl No One Talked to
Last year there was a girl at our school who hardly anyone talked to. I think it was because she seldom
showered, and she kind of smelled bad. Her name was Cindy Lindburg. I didn’t know exactly where she
___13___, but it must have been somewhere in the neighborhood because we always got on the school bus at the
same bus stop.
One day, I was walking up to the bus stop and I saw Carl making fun of her. I couldn’t hear what he was
saying, but I saw how sad it made Cindy. As soon as I got close enough, I glared (怒视) at Carl to make him
___14___ laughing. But it didn’t work. So I walked over and stood closer to Cindy to make sure she wouldn’t feel
quite so bad. It was just one of those times when you just knew someone needed someone to be a friend.
I didn’t think she’d say anything, but she did. Her eyes peeked up from staring at the ground and whispered
(低声说), “Hi.”
“Hi,” I said. Then as ___15___ as I could, I said, “Don’t pay any attention to Carl! His parents have been
unsuccessful in teaching him some manners.”
第2页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Some of the kids around us laughed after they heard what I had said. By now everyone there was talking with
a friend. Quietly, and with a serious look on her face, Cindy said, “I don’t know why everyone ___16___ me.”
I was surprised at her words. “No one hates you,” I told her.
“Then why don’t I have any friends?” she asked.
I thought for a moment. “Well,” I began, wondering if I could tell her that maybe it was because she smelled
so ___17___, “I think you’re smart, and you dress okay, and…”
“So then, what is it?” she asked.
“Maybe it’s because you…” I paused because I almost said “stink” (发出臭味) but instead, “don’t smell so
good.”
She looked up, ___18___ my face as if checking to see if I was making fun of her or being mean. I guess she
decided I wasn’t. She nodded. I added, “I think you’d probably make more friends if you took more ___19___.”
She looked away. I worried that I might have gone too far.
Turning back to face me, Cindy took a deep breath and said, “Thank you.” I was so relieved, and the next
moment the bus arrived, and all the kids started getting on.
“If I save a seat for you on the bus tomorrow,” she asked, “will you sit with me?”
“Sure,” I said.
I’m happy to report that Cindy did take more baths from that day on. And it wasn’t too long before she started
to make ___20___ at school. I was one of them.

Avery and I are good friends, but once something unpleasant happened when we both tried for roles in Alice
in Wonderland.
Avery really hoped to be Alice and I was sure she could get the role. However, it turned out that I was picked
to be Alice and Avery only got the part of the March Hare. “Do you want to practice together with me?” I asked.
“Sorry, I’m busy this week,” said Avery, without looking at me. “And I will be always busy.” She refused me.
That night at dinner, my parents noticed I was not that excited about getting the lead role. They wondered what
happened. “Well, Avery was not picked to be Alice, but I was. She was unhappy. Maybe she will throw away our
friendship.”
My father said, “Don’t worry about it. I think this is a chance for you to be an extra-good friend.”
“Dad’s right,” said my mother. “Sometimes when our friends do well, we may have feelings of envy (嫉妒)
and don’t know how to act. Try giving her a little time, space and understanding, and she will change her mind
soon.”
Over the next week, I tried my best to give Avery some space. Then one day, on the way to our practice, I met

学科网（北京）股份有限公司her. “I just want to say, you’re such a great actor when acting as the March Hare.” I smiled. She seemed happy and
explained how she understood the role. When I asked her to help me with my role, she agreed and smiled, too. She
even said sorry to me for acting that way at first. Later, we became closer to each other.
I’ve learned that people often have a difficult time dealing with envy and disappointment. If you have similar
experiences, you could try taking my parents’ advice. Give your friend a little time, space and understanding. This
might be the perfect time to be an extra-good friend.
24. Why was Avery unhappy?
A. She wasn’t picked to be Alice. B. She was really busy this week.
C. She didn’t have time to practice. D. She had to prepare dinner for her parents.
25. The writer’s mother advised the writer to _________.
A. give up the lead role B. talk with Avery at once

Technology is changing to suit people’s needs. The early development of transportation technology as well as
the modern development of telecommunication has offered human a rapid rise in efficiency (效率). Of course,
technology has also made life more complicated (复杂的) and some may say, led to bad effects. However, it is
obvious that technology has made life better than before.
There’s no doubt that technology has improved the standards of living. Machines can now do the heavier work
which human beings find very difficult to do. Industrialization (工业化) has brought about large production, people
can get goods at a cheaper price, too. Technology has made every aspect (方面) of life more convenient: computers
have made work in the office more efficient and transport systems have made travel cheaper and even more
enjoyable.
Technology has also improved the quality of social life. The communication technology has brought the world
closer, whether for business or for personal relationships.
Yet, even though it is true that life has improved with technology, life has also become more complicated as
technology becomes more common in our lives. The use of the Internet has changed the way we communicate,
socialize and do business, and thus exposed us to risks. As more business deals take place online, there is an
increase in cybercrime (网络犯罪). And stolen data has become a huge problem for businesses and banks.
Cyberbullying (网络欺凌) is also becoming more widespread today. As much as technology has improved our
lives, it has also brought about new sets of problems.
第6页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Still, technology has given us the means to a better life that was unimaginable. To say that technology does not
make life better or even makes life worse is an absolute wrong conclusion. There are also creative ways to solve the
problems that technology has brought about, such as using laws and technology itself to solve the very problems it
brings about. For example, some countries have introduced laws that control the use of online information to ensure
personal safety is protected. Today, space rovers (漫游者) are even exploring new planets to check for signs of life.
So, with the development of technology, it is fair to say that the stars are not out of reach.
27. According to the passage, how has technology improved the standards of living?
A. By increasing people’s heavier work.
B. By making work in the office more enjoyable.
C. By making different aspects of life more convenient.
D. By helping solve all kinds of difficult problems in life.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Technology has brought more problems than convenience to human.
.
B Communication is more complicated because of technology.
.
C Machines will take the place of human beings in the future.
D. Laws can be made to protect personal safety on the Internet.
29. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Will Technology Really Meet Our Future Needs?
B. Can We Protect Ourselves with Technology?
C. Can Technology Change the Way We Work?
D. Has Technology Made Life Better?
D
Have you ever looked out of the window of a passenger plane from 30,000 feet and wondered how people can
have any major effect on the Earth? I have. But it is now becoming pretty clear that we are causing a great deal of
damage (破坏) to the natural environment. And the planes that rush us in comfort to destinations (目的地) around
the globe lead to one of the biggest environmental problems that we face today—global warming.
For those of us lucky enough to have money and time to spend, there are a huge number of attractive places to
第7页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司explore. The cost of air transport has decreased (减少) rapidly over the years, and for many people, especially in
rich countries, it is now possible to fly around the world for less money.
Unfortunately, planes produce far more carbon dioxide (CO ) than any other form of public transport, and
2
CO is now known to be a greenhouse gas causing the temperature of the Earth to rise. Scientists predict that in the
2
near future the climate in Britain will follow that of the Mediterranean (地中海), a popular destination for British
holidaymakers flying off to enjoy the sun. If global warming continues, we may also find that many tourist
destinations such as the Maldives (马尔代夫) have disappeared under water because of rising sea levels.
So what can be done to solve the problem? Well, although engineers are making more efficient engines and
researching other fuels (燃料) such as hydrogen, it will be a long time before air travel is not damaging to the
environment. Governments don’t seem to be taking the problem seriously, so it is up to travelers to do what they
can to help.
The most obvious way of dealing with the problem is to not travel by plane at all. Environmental groups such
as Friends of the Earth encourage people to travel by train and plan holidays nearer home. However, with prices of
flights at an all-time low, and exotic destinations more popular than ever, it is hard to ask British tourists to choose
London instead of Beijing or Tokyo.
However, there is a way of offsetting (抵消) the carbon dioxide we produce when we travel by plane. A
company called Future Forests offers a service that can reduce CO . The Future Forest website finds the amount of
2
CO you are responsible for producing on your flight. Then you will pay a small fee (费用) to the company. And it
2
can help you plant the number of trees that will absorb this CO .
2
Yesterday I returned to Japan from England, and was happy to pay Futured Forests £25 to plant the three trees
which balance my share of the CO produced by my return flight. Now the only thing making me lose sleep is jet
2
lag (时差效应).
30. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The damage caused by public transport.
B. The possible effects of planes on global warming.
C. The main reasons for rising the global temperature.
D. The predictions of some disappearing tourist destinations.
31. The word “exotic” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “__________”.
A. interesting B. foreign C. similar D. beautiful
32. From the passage, we know__________.
A. passengers can pay extra fees to offset the CO produced by their flights
2
B. the climate in Britain is similar to that of the Mediterranean now
第8页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. environmental groups encourage people to plant more trees
D. it’s getting more and more expensive to travel by plane
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To discuss the bad effects of CO .
2
B. To compare different reasons for global warming.
C. To introduce the famous tourist destinations in the world.
D. To call attention to the environmental damage caused by taking planes.

四、阅读表达（34—36每题2分, 第37小题4分, 共10分）
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
A Southern California student named Madison Atkinson is regarded as her family’s hero. Madison, a 15-year-
old girl, used CPR skills that she learned at school to help save her 3-year-old relative during a holiday gathering.
It happened on Thanksgiving as family members were preparing dinner. Relatives at the Northridge home
thought 3-year-old Maxine was inside playing with other kids. But surveillance (监控) video shows the little girl
wandering into the backyard and leaning over the side of the pool, and then jumping or falling in.
No one else was outside at the time, but a few minutes later Maxine’s uncle walked out to the yard and found
her face down in the pool. He jumped in, pulled the little girl from the water and yelled for help. Several adults
came outside but were only able to watch helplessly when efforts were made to revive (苏醒) the girl.
When Madison saw what was happening, she knew exactly what to do. “I saw that he was trying the Heimlich
(海姆利克氏操作法),” she recalled. “But I knew in that case we needed CPR because Maxine didn’t seem like she
was breathing. I told everyone I knew CPR and it calmed everyone down.”
“Then they just laid her down on the ground and I started CPR.”
The little girl soon revived and her family says she has since recovered.
Damian Gilbert says he is very proud of his stepdaughter. She was the only one in the house with CPR training
and he finds it remarkable that she was able to take control and save a life. “I’m literally watching a 15-year-old girl
basically bring back our niece, a 3-year-old, to life,” Gilbert said. “It was something that I’ll remember for the rest
