Andrew lost his way in the desert, and the water in his bottle dried. He was in search of water, or he would die
of thirst.
As he tried hard to walk, he saw a small house not far away. He walked towards it, opened the door and found
nobody there. He was surprised to see a hand water pump (泵), and it had a pipeline (水管) to the ground. He started
pumping, but there was no sign of water. He continued his effort (努力) but had to give up because he was too
tired.
He started searching the house for any other source of water. Then he found a bottle of water hidden in the
corner. Just when he was about to drink it, he found a piece of paper next to it, saying, “Please use the water to start
the pump. It works. After you have done, do not forget to refill the bottle.”
After reading the message, he started to wonder, “Will the pump work if I use this water? Is the pump in good
condition? If the words in the paper are not true, my last source of water will be a waste.” In the end, he decided to
follow the message. He poured (倾倒) the water from the bottle into the pump and pumped it. Soon, he heard a
bubbling sound, and water started pouring out. There was a moment of happiness on his face. He drank the water,
filled his bottle, and refilled the one from the house as well.
In our life, there will be times when we need faith (信心). Once we have faith, we should continue our efforts
towards it because it will pay off. sometimes even wonderfully.
24. When Andrew saw a hand water pump, he felt ________.
A. nervous B. calm C. regretful D. surprised
25. Andrew started to wonder after reading the message because ________.
A. he didn’t find anybody in the small house B. he wasn’t sure if the pump would work
C. he knew the message was not true D. he was really tired and thirsty
26. What can you learn from the passage?
A. Good habits bring good results. B. Helping others is the greatest joy.
C. Holding on to your faith can be worth doing. D. Valuable advice is everything that you need.

As the weather gets warmer, there are few things that are better to do than travel. But traveling might not be
that fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness (晕动症).
Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how
,
you travel it can be called carsickness or seasickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while
they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy, like the room around them won’t stop spinning (旋转).
It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused (混乱的) with each
other. We use different parts of our body to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears have

a special liquid that helps us sense our direction and balance (平衡). Our muscles (肌肉) react to movement. When
you move around, these body parts work well together. But when you are in a car or an airplane, they get confused.
Your inner ear signals that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still because you can’t see that you’re
moving. This mismatch gives us motion sickness.
About one in three people get motion sickness. Women and children aged two to twelve are most at risk. Some
,
people may even experience motion sickness in certain situations such as reading in motion, playing video games
and watching 3D movies. But some people are less sensitive to motion sickness. This may be because they have
certain genes (基因) that stop mismatching senses.
Although there are many ways to deal with (处理) motion sickness, I believe that the key is to simply try and
adapt (适应) to it. For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild (轻微的) motion
sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable anymore.
27. When motion sickness happens to you, you ________.
A. feel uncomfortable, sick and dizzy B. become confused with your senses
C. see room around you stop spinning D. know all your body parts work well
28. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3?
A. How our body senses move. B. How motion sickness happens.
C. How body parts work together. D. How motion sickness confuses us.
29. What do you know about motion sickness?
A. Everyone with motion sickness hates travelling. B. Most women and children have motion sickness.
C. Reading in a car may cause our motion sickness. D. Mismatching senses brings us motion sickness.
30. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. it’s difficult to deal with motion sickness B. most astronauts have no motion sickness
C. it’s possible to adapt to motion sickness D. mild motion sickness is good for health
D
Is there a way to quickly remember information just before taking an exam? Walking backward might be a good
idea. Scientists say this activity can help people improve their short-term memory (记忆).
Researchers asked 114 volunteers in an experiment to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers
were split (分成) into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10
meters backward. The third group kept still in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what
they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average
than the other two groups.
This suggests that the concepts (概念) of time and space are important to the formation of memories. When you,
微信：cs5311742016 主营各地名校期中期末真题卷及小初高全套教材教案讲义知识点总结微信：cs5311742016 主营各地名校期中期末真题卷及小初高全套教材教案讲义知识点总结
walk backward, you see things from a different angle (角度). This difference helps people remember things that
happened in the past more easily. When you walk backward, you have to pay closer attention to your surroundings
to avoid accidents. By doing so, your senses are sharpened (敏锐的). As a result, you become more attuned to your
environment.
And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our bodies. Compared to
walking forward. walking backward is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness because walking
backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories (卡路里).
Walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their
knees. Walking backward also keeps our spines (脊柱) strong, which can help to ease (缓解) pain in the lower back.
This might be why many old people like walking backward.
,
Next time when you want to improve your memory why not try walking backward? It is as simple as it sounds,
but remember to “watch” where you are going and who or what you may knock into.
31. What’s the writer’s purpose in mentioning the experiment in Paragraph 2?
A. To show walking backward can help improve short-term memory.
B. To explain how memories are formed in our brains while walking.
C. To point out walking backward can keep us in excellent condition.
D. To share scientists’ discovery on walking and watching videos.
32. The words “become more attuned to” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to ________.
A. become prouder of B. understand better of
C. take a more active part in D. get more interested in
33. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The differences in walking habits. B. The suggestions on keeping healthy.
C. The advantages of walking backward. D. The importance of improving memory.

The Power of Determination (决心)
Jack Smith came to school first every morning to start the fire in a stove (炉子) so that the classroom was warm
before his teachers and classmates arrived.
One morning, the school caught fire. Jack seriously hurt his legs and he was taken to a nearby hospital. When
the danger passed, he overheard the doctor telling his mother that he might, never walk again.
The brave boy made up his mind. He would walk. But unfortunately, his legs were so thin and lifeless that he

could hardly move.
After he came home from the hospital, his mother would massage (按摩) his little legs every day, but there was
no feeling, no control, nothing. Yet, his determination that he would walk was as strong as ever.
One sunny day, his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air. This day, instead of sitting there,
he threw himself from the chair. He pulled himself across the grass, dragging (拖) his legs behind him.
He walked his way to the fence. With great effort, he raised himself up on the fence and dragged himself along,
determined that he would walk. He started to do this every day until he wore a smooth path all around the yard beside
the fence. There was nothing he wanted more than to develop life in those legs.
Finally through his daily massages, his persistence (坚持) and his strong determination, he did develop the
ability to stand up, then to walk slowly, then to walk by himself and then to run.
He began to walk to school, then to run to school, to run for fun. Later in college he made the track team.
