A
Everyone in our class has our own characters. Each plays his or her part in our class. All in all, we are a group
of young children who are perhaps a bit noisy at times, but on the whole are well behaved and pleasant to be with.
Ah Keong
We are a noisy group, and that is what our teachers say about us. This is largely because of Ah Keong. He is
the noisiest of us all because he lives with his family of ten children. It seems that he cannot talk softly. Actually he
does not talk, he shouts.
Padma
Padma is a quiet boy who sits next to me. He is so soft that one would think that he is a girl. This is not so. No
one dares to call him “girl”, for he is a member of the school karate club.
Doris
Doris is such a model student that all the teachers love her. She sits right in front of the teachers table. We all
love her because she is kind and helpful. Every day, she makes sure that the teachers have enough chalk and the
classroom is clean.
Jack
Every class has a clown(小丑). Our class has jack. He is naughty and always playing tricks on others. He puts
tails on the boys pants and frogs in the girls desks. So when we hear someone crying, we know that Jack has played
a trick again.

The Wallet
Jenny looked at the store window. There was nothing that she wanted more than a Happy Hannah doll.
It was $29.95. Unluckily, Jenny didn't even have the 95 cents.
As she crossed the street, she thought about doing her brother’s housework, cleaning the floor, washing
the dishes all month, but even then she would have only eleven dollars. Suddenly, something small and pink
in the snow caught her eyes.
Jenny walked over and picked it up from the snow. It was a beautiful wallet. She opened the wallet and
found many dollars and a woman’s driver’s license Jenny put the wallet into her bag quickly. She turned
around and walked back. Jenny’s heart beat fast as she entered the store. She had long dreamed about this
moment, but something didn’t feel right. As she got to the Happy Hannah dolls, she pushed away her
feelings. She grabbed (抓起) one and walked toward the checkout.
As Jenny was waiting to pay, her mobile phone rang. Jenny looked around, startled (吓了一跳). It was her
grandma. Jenny’s heart was suddenly filled with love and warmth when she thought of her. She put the doll down
and answered the phone.
“Hi, Grandma? I’m going to be a little bit late tonight…Alright… I love you, too.” Jenny left the store
and walked all the way to 301 West Street. The woman who answered the door looked sad.
“Here, I found this in the snow,” Jenny said.
“Oh, good god! This is the money for the orphanage (孤儿院)! Thank you!” After doing her brother’s
housework for three months, Jenny finally got a Happy Hannah doll. She was so happy because she could

The truth behind sports drinks
In the summer of 1965, the University of Florida football coach was worried about the state of his team.
After a tough game, his players had lost a lot of weight and hardly needed to urinate(排尿). He wanted to
know why.
Dr. James Robert Cade, a kidney(肾脏) expert at the University, stepped in to help find out the
answer. With too much exercise at high temperatures, the players were sweating so much that they didn’t
have enough fluids left in their bodies. Their blood sugar and electrolyte(电解质) levels turned out to be
very low.
Dr. Cade’s team decided to make a drink to solve this problem . The scientists started with water. To
restore carbohydrates(碳水化合物), they added sugar. To balance electrolytes, they added salt. However, the
drink tasted so bad that players kept spitting it out. Dr Cade’s wife recommended adding lemon juice. The
football team started drinking it and won all of its following games.
As sports drinks have become an increasingly popular type of beverage, “Are you getting enough
electrolytes?” has similarly become a hot question. Electrolytes are naturally found in many fruits and
vegetables. Through a balanced diet, the body keeps electrolyte levels right where they should be. But
sometimes the body loses a lot of fluids really quickly. When that happens, muscle cramps(痉挛), tiredness
and other unpleasant feelings may follow. Then an increase of electrolytes can help the body get back to
normal.
Many people think that sports drinks win games and make us healthy in a second. But the fact is most ofus are not professional players training in extreme heat. We don’t lose 10 pounds of sweat in one game. Most
people, even those who play sports, do not usually have electrolyte imbalances, or need lots of extra
carbohydrates.
Remember the main ingredients in sports drinks? Water, sugar, and salt. Most diets today are already
way too high in sugar and salt. The truly remarkable part of the mix is water. It is used in every single bodily
function. We all need it and many of us do not get nearly enough of the stuff. Drinking plenty of water
throughout the day and often taking sips while exercising helps the body to reach its best level of performance
necessary to meet any challenge.
29. What does the underlined phrase “this problem” refer to?
A. The players could hardly urinate after a tough game.
B. The players were sweating too much during a tough game.
C. The players’ body weight dropped a lot during a tough game.
D. The players’ blood sugar and electrolytes were low after a tough game.
30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Drinking water is a better choice than having a sports drink for most people.
B. Eating a balanced diet helps keep our blood sugar at a normal level.
C. Sports drinks help players restore electrolytes that were lost in games.
D. When losing body fluids quickly, we are likely to feel uncomfortable.
31. Sports drinks are believed to win games and make us healthy in a second. Should we drink them as much as
possible?
A. Yes, because there are many healthy ingredients in them.
B. Yes, because they help us remain in good condition all of the time.
C. No, because many sports drinks on sale are not well made.
D. No, because we do not need them as much as athletes do.
32. When describing sports drinks, the author’s attitude is _________.
A. positive B. negative C. neutral D. indifferent
D
Is gaming good or bad?
If you are a kid who enjoys playing video games, you must have argued with your parents at least once
about the impact of gaming. Your parents might say that video games are bad for you. They may worsen your
eyes, lower your academic performance, and could lead to health problems. As a kid, you probably argue that
video games allow you to socialize with your friends, improve your coordination (协调) and memory, andeven give you a way to make money through streaming platforms. Could you both be right?
One study of game players showed that 35 percent of high school and college students have missed
school or work because of games. Some other studies have shown that playing video games leads to poor
concentration in school or at work. In my seventh-grade science fair study, elementary and high school kids
playing games had lower test accuracy, slower reflexes (条件反射), less pain awareness and lower response
times to threatening sounds during and after having played video games.
On the other hand, a study conducted by Cheryl Olson interviewed 1,000 public school students and
found that video games can help kids develop problem-solving skills, make friends, show leadership, and
spark creativity. They can also be highly educational, because some games involve problem-solving skills or
teach things like history, geography, or culture.
So, I bet you’re wondering ... should I play video games or not? Who is right?
I think kids and parents can both win this argument. How? Most of the negative impacts of video games
happen when kids play for too long, so play moderately (适度地). Here’s how to do that.
First, talk with your parents and take breaks from your gaming to help around the house or to get some fresh
air. Second, try to find video games that are both fun and educational. Third, if you wear a headset to play, take it
off every few minutes or leave one ear free so you can hear your surroundings. Fourth, there are also many games
that get you up out of your seat. Finally, find some games that you can play with your parents, and you just might
surprise them with how enjoyable they are. They may end up having more fun than you!
What do you think? Are the good things about video games enough to outweigh the bad?
33. What’s the main idea of paragraph 1?
A. The reasons why playing games is bad for kids.
B. Parents and kids hold different opinions towards video games.
C. Playing games can cause arguments between parents and their children.
D. A story about kids’ arguing with their parents about playing video games.
34. Cheryl Olsen’s study is mentioned to ________.
A. express the author’s attitude towards playing video games
B. show the negative impact playing video games can have
C. show the positive impact playing video games can have
D. share the findings of the latest research about video games
35. According to the article, what is NOT the disadvantages video games bring to kids?
A. They may cause harm to kids’ eyesight.
B. They may make kids difficult to focus on study.C. They may damage kids’ coordination and memory.
D. They may put kids in danger because of less response time.
36. The author is most likely to support ________.
A. playing educational games without breaks
B. always wearing a headset when playing games
C. playing active games which parents can take part in
D. remaining seated the whole time while leaving one ear free from your headset
四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共 10 分，每小题 2 分）
Heart and soul
Joe Gardner in the new movie Soul（《心灵奇旅》） is a jazz lover and gifted piano player who teaches
middle school band. He’s seeking success and the approval（认可） of his mother. When he gets a gig（现场演
奏） playing with his idol, saxophonist（萨克斯管吹奏者） Dorothea Williams, Joe thinks he’s about to fulfill
his purpose in life.
,
Then Joe falls down a hole. Eventually he finds himself in the Great Before, where new souls are
prepared for life. It’s also where Joe meets Soul Number 22. He’s assigned（被安排） to help her find her spark
—the passion that motivates（激励） her. But 22 isn’t excited about anything until she begins to experience life
for herself.
Seeing life through 22’s eyes awakens something in Joe. He realizes that while music is one of his sparks, he
also finds satisfaction in helping others. By guiding 22, Joe gains an appreciation for the little things that make life
worth living. For example, 22 gets her spark from ordinary activities, like watching the sky.
The characters in Soul are all very interesting. Everyone has something the movie calls a “spark”. The movie
suggests that part of the beauty of life is in discovering one’s own spark, and in helping others to find theirs as well.Joe’s piano pieces, played by musician Jon Batiste, are one of the highlights（最精彩的部分） of the film. The
music is impressive and full of feeling. It’s easy to believe these works take Joe on a musical journey to another
world. By hearing them, we are transported too.
I give Soul a rating of 9 out of 10. The movie is thought-provoking and inspiring. As the characters learn
from one another, the viewer is invited to examine his or her own life.
You’ll want to watch this film again and again with those who know you best, so you can discuss your spark
and why it makes you—you.
