I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard the young voice.
“Mum, come here! There’s this lady here my size!”
The mother rushed to her son and turned to me to say “sorry”‘. I smiled and told her: “It’s okay. “ Then I talked to
the boy, “Hi, I’m Darry Kramer. How are you?”
He studied me from head to toe, and asked: “Are you a little mommy?”“Yes, I have a son, “I answered.
“Why are you so little?” he asked.
“It’s the way I was born, “ I said, “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.
“ After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy’s hand, and left.
My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look
different from their parents. I stand 114 cm tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf（侏儒）. Despite （尽管）this, I
did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
,
I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids picked on me calling me names（辱骂我）.
Then I knew I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always look fixedly at me as I
tried hard to climb the school bus stairs.
But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed in my whole life. I decided to make my
difference an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked（缺少）in height, I made up for in personality.
,
I’m 47 now and people are surprised when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are not
polite enough, I say to myself: “Look what else I have-a great family, nice friends.”
It’s the children’s questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that, I will
encourage them to accept the persons around them, whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them in a friendly
way.
24. When did Darry realize how short she was?
A. When she was born.
B. When she started school.

People can travel without much money by staying in other people’s house. Sometimes the travelers may sleep
for a few nights on other people’s couch (沙发) for free. This way of travelling is called couch surfing.
Couch Surfing. org is an organization that connects travelers all around the world. Members of it can find a place
to stay when they travel or share their homes and hometowns with travelers from other places. In this way strangers
can help strangers in order to make the world a better place.
The organization has millions of members in 238 different countries and it has changed the way of travel forever.
Jamie from Australia has traveled in this way all over the world. “When I traveled before, I used to find a cheap hotel
to save money, now I stay in really nice houses and apartments. But the best thing isn’t the free living condition, it’s
the people you meet. A couch surfing host will usually cook you a meal which helps break the ice. Then they’ll often
introduce you to their friends and take you to the places they enjoy. Couch surfing allows you to experience a country
and its culture.”
Why do people agree to let a stranger sleep on their couch? Delphine, an experienced host from Paris, has an
answer. “They say that money makes the world go round but I try to help people go round the world without much
money!” She says with a smile. So far, she has received more than 100 travelers. “I enjoy meeting people from
第5页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司different cultures and I’ve made friends from all over the world,” says Delphine, who is also a professional cook.
“And of course, I like sharing French food with them. Usually, my guests love trying it but I’ve had problems
sometimes. Once I cooked roast lamb (烤羊肉) for a guest but unfortunately, when she got here, she told me she was
only used to eating vegetables!”
The idea of travelling the world for free has even been made into a TV series. Alex and Zsolt from the US set
out with no money at all. They relied on social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter to ask for help. They
say, “wherever we went we were always provided with food. All over the world, food is a common bond (纽带).”
They travelled sixteen different countries and the results were turned into the TV show Around the World for free.
27. What can you know about couch surfing?
A. It’s an organization that provides cheap hotels.
B. It’s a way for people to make money with their couches.
C. Travelers may travel with less money with strangers’ help.
D. Travelers consider it the most important way to travel today.
28. Why does Delphine like being a couch surfing host?
A. She is a professional French cook.
B. She enjoys traveling.
C. She expects to be famous.
D. She wants to help people go round the world.
29. Alex discovered that all over the world ________.
A. food brings people together
B. it’s not easy to travel without money
C. people enjoy their free-living condition
D. a host usually cooks a meal to break the ice

On a boat near Costa Rica, a team of scientists is helping a turtle（海龟）. The animal is having trouble
breathing, and the team discovers why there is something inside its nose. A scientist tries to get it out, but the turtle
cries in pain. Finally, after eight long minutes, a long object is pulled out. It is a 10-centimeter plastic straw（吸
第6页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司管）.
The video of the turtle’s rescue（救援）has been viewed millions of times on YouTube. It has helped raise a
growing problem—the world’s seas are full of plastic. Since 2000, there has been huge increase in worldwide
plastic production, but we recycle less than one-fifth of it. A lot of this plastic waste ends up in the ocean. Today,
scientists think about 8.1 billion kilograms go into the sea every year. Most of the plastic will never biodegrade
but remain there for a long time.
This ocean plastic hurts millions of sea animals every year. Some fish eat plastic because it’s covered with sea
plants, and it looks and smells like food. Typically （通常）, eating plastic leads to more hunger. “Imagine you
ate lunch and then just felt weak and hungry all day,” says scientist Matthew Savoca. “That would be very terrible.
Sometimes eating pieces of plastic can seriously hurt sea animals and even result in death. ”
Plastic is useful to people because it’s strong and lasts a long time, but this is bad news for sea animals.
According to Savoca, “Single-use plastics, such as straws, water bottles, and plastic bags, are the worst. ” These
objects are used only once before we throw them away. About 700 sea animals, including the turtle from the video,
have been caught in or have eaten this kind of plastic. Luckily, the turtle was alive and returned to the ocean.
How will plastic affect sea animals in the long term? “I think we’ll know the answers in 5-10 years,” says
Debra Lee Magadini from Columbia University. But by then, another 25 million tons of plastic will already be in
the ocean.
30. The passage begins with the story of the turtle to ________.
A. provide a reason
B. lead in the topic
C. show an opinion
D. describe an event
31. The underlined word “biodegrade” in Paragraph 2 probably means” ________”.
A. get off B. get down C. move away D. break down
32. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The ocean plastic is mistaken for food by some sea animals.
B. Scientists know clearly about the influence of plastic pollution.
C. Only single-use plastics can put sea animals in danger or even death.
D. 8.1 billion tons of plastic waste goes into the sea every year from the land.
.
33 What can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Ocean Saving Project
.
B A Turtle’s Rescue

四、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分。34-36题, 每题2分; 37题4分）
Some people say that today reading is not as important as it was.
These days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you
can look at a photograph? Why read a novel when we can see a film? Why read I a newspaper when the latest news
is brought to us every hour on radio and TV?
Photography is certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of places and of people
that we have never seen. An encyclopedia (百科全书), for example, is always better when it has good pictures. But
we also need words to explain the photographs. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what
an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are found,
their exact (精确的) size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on.
In the same way, a good film has action, movement, colour, and maybe music. These are things we do not find
on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film (故事
片). Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us imagines a story differently.
Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important news
stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It
explains why something has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers
are an important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other
parts of the world.
Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human
beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become.
And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a
little every day.
