cartoon heroes, pets, or books. Don’t forget to improve your lighting. If you are in a dark room, open up a window
for some natural light. Second, get active. When you feel bad, the best way to break the circle of unpleasant
feelings is to take action. Do something you enjoy: read a book, cook a nice meal, go shopping or meet up with a
friend. Third, connect with people you love. If you’re feeling down, find someone you love and trust. You can turn
to friends or family members. Just talking or spending time with them can help you feel connected. Fourth, treat
yourself. You can go alone or with friends but the main thing is to enjoy the food you love best. Don’t think about
the money. Just enjoy yourself!

Know me before you judge me
When I first started to work on this story, I thought maybe I shouldn’t do it. I thought you might see that I have
Down syndrome (唐氏综合征), and that you wouldn’t like me.
My mom thinks that’s silly. “Have you ever met anyone who didn’t like you because you have Down
syndrome?” she asks me. She’s right, of course. When people ask me what Down syndrome is, I tell them it’s an
intellectual disability (智力残疾) that makes it harder for me to learn things.
I just want to be like everyone else. But having Down syndrome is what makes me “me”. And I’m proud of
who I am. I’m a hard worker, a good person, and I care about my friends.
A lot like you
Even though I have Down syndrome, my life is a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV. I listen to music
with my friends. I’m on the swim team and in chorus at school.
Some of my classes are with typical (正常的) kids, and some are with kids with learning disabilities. I have a
helper who goes with me to my harder classes, like math and biology. She helps me take notes and gives me advice
on how I should study for tests. It really helps, but I also make myself do well. For example, my goal (目标) was to
be in a typical English class by 12th grade. And that’s exactly what happened this year!
Dream job: singer
I try not to let anything get me down and just think of all the good things in my life, like that I’ve made two
songs. Right now, someone else is singing my songs, but someday, I want to be the one singing.
See me
But I still have to tell myself all the time that it really is OK to just be myself. I can’t change that I have Down
syndrome, but one thing I would change is how people think of me. I’d tell them: Judge (评价) me as a whole
person, not just the person you see. Respect (尊重) me and accept me for who I am. Most important, just be my
friend. After all, I would do the same for you.
36. The writer has Down syndrome, so ________.
A. people don’t like her at all B. it’s harder for her to learn thingsC. she wrote many good stories D. finding a job is nearly impossible
,
37. When the writer was in 12th grade ________.
A. she joined the school swim team B. she gave advice on how to study
C. she was in a typical English class D. she helped some kids with biology

A. clever and helpful B. shy and unconfident
C. lonely and nervous D. active and hardworking
39. The story mainly tells us ________.
A. we can change other people by offering help to them
B. we should understand and respect people with disabilities

C
Although we may not have the ability to paint the Mona Lisa, create music like Mozart, or write novels like
Hemingway, everyone is born with a special ability — creativity (创造力). Some people can find and learn to showit early, while others might discover it later in life. We are all creative, and we need to create as much as we need to
eat, breathe and sleep. Creativity has different meanings for different people, but unluckily a lot of things may
stifle the development of it. And the importance of creativity is not valued as much as it should be. However, it has
a powerful effect (影响) on one’s overall ability to get true happiness and success in life. If we stifle our creativity
or lower its importance, we may create blockages (阻碍) in other parts of life. This can stop us from improving
things like health, work and personal relationships.
No matter how busy one is, it is very important to leave some time to develop creativity. Trying out different
hobbies is a great way to discover one’s creativity because it can be very enjoyable. Some people find one hobby
and fall deeply in love with it. Some people prefer to try different hobbies for short time, or change them up each
season to stay interested and keep trying different things.
One great thing about a hobby is that there are no set rules. Each person gets to decide how often they want to
do it and whether they want to keep it for a long time or move on to something else after trying it for a few weeks
or months.
Another cool thing about hobbies is that one can enjoy them quietly when spending some free time alone, or
as a way to fit in a community (集体). Book clubs, art or cooking classes, gardening clubs — nearly every type of
hobby offers a chance to meet with other people with the same interest and build relationships. This could be
helpful on both a personal and a professional (专业的) level. Hobbies can be a great way to create a community
among co-workers. Sometimes if co-workers are not getting along, having them take part in a seemingly non-work-
related hobby can be great for creating common ground.
Usually, the simple act of developing hobbies can provide a chance for a person to find and show his or her
creativity, which will produce great active changes. When people experience something as simple and great as
creating something beautiful through hobbies, they begin to look at the world — and daily environments — in a
fresh, new way.
40. From the passage, we can know ________.
A. we are all born with creativity B. creativity comes from happiness
C. people usually value creativity very much D. creativity means the same thing to everyone
41. The underlined word “stifle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A. improve B. produce C. stop D. lose
42. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. There are no set rules to develop creativity.
B. Trying different hobbies has lots of advantages.
C. It’s enjoyable to try different hobbies at different time.D. We can develop creativity by trying different hobbies.
43. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. taking up simple hobbies won’t change people’s lives
B. creativity can help people to look at the world actively
C. it’s better to have a long-time hobby than find a new one
D. enjoying a hobby alone can help fit in a community well

【解析】

六、(共 10 分,每小题 2 分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
The Ross family is a busy one. The parents, Margy and Scott, both work for big companies and usually spendlots of time traveling for their jobs. Their daughter, Katie, is busy with schoolwork.
Needless to say, great family time is hard to come by. So, vacations are very important. They can help the
family grow together.
When Scott didn’t have vacation in 2004, Margy planned a mother-daughter trip that included physical labor
(劳动) along with a cultural experience. By searching for international volunteering (志愿服务) chances on the
Internet, she found Global Volunteers.
Together, Margy and Katie took part in a building project for a high school in Costa Rica. They really loved
being part of the tiny local community and part of a team with like-minded people from different countries. Six
months later for their Christmas trip, they went back, taking Scott this time.
Since then, the Ross family have made seven trips to this community on their two-week family vacation each
year. As Margy says, “It’s almost like summer camp for the family.”
For Scott, this kind of volunteer work is different because it provides chances to give back and brings personal
satisfaction.
“You can really see the fruits of your labor—school dining room and community center,” he says. “And one of
the advantages is keeping in touch with a certain community; it’s great to see the community become a better
place.”
There was an especially unforgettable experience for the family one year when they visited their local
volunteer leader Roberto, who was badly ill.
“Katie and I visited Roberto every day for fifteen minutes. On the last night of our trip, Roberto told us he was
thankful because he was making his community such a better place and he could do something great with Global
Volunteers,” recalls Margy.
Thinking about the experiences, Scott suggests that families do volunteering together on vacations for many
reasons. “There are no expensive hotels,” he says, “but it’s a great way to model some great behaviors (行为) for
your kids. I never expected this impacted (影响) Katie. She’s now taking two language classes in high school and
hoping to learn about international development in college.”

九、选做题(共 10 分,第 1-2 小题各 3 分,第 3小题 4 分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Sagarika Sriram was just 10 years old when she started reading newspaper stories about a planet in trouble.
One story was about a whale that was washed up on the beach after an oil spill. Another was about turtles found
with plastic (塑料) in their stomachs. Sagarika knew she needed to do something. So, she joined a group that
organized (组织) cleanup activities in Dubai, her home city, in the United Arab Emirates. “The experience helped
me understand what a person could do and how I could really make a difference,” she says.
But personal power is the strongest on a larger level. So, in 2016, Sagarika created Kids for a Better World.
It’s a digital platform (数字平台) that has brought together nearly 10,000 kids from all over the world. Its goal is to
fight climate change.
Sagarika is now 16. She’s part of a growing body of young climate activists who are working together in the
name of a cleaner, healthier future. “We’re the group that is going to face the results if the climate crisis (气候危机)
is not solved,” Sagarika says. As well as online activities, Sagarika organizes local cleanups on beaches and deserts
in the United Arab Emirates, collecting litter. She believes even small personal actions can create a “ripple effect
(连锁反应),” building energy in the right direction. “Change can be created on large levels with even small
actions,” she says.
Kids for a Better World is for people aged from 8 to 16. The platform teaches them about what they can do at
home and in their community to reverse (逆转) climate change. They can grow food or plant trees. They can collect
recyclables (可回收物品) and avoid using plastic bags. These are lessons that Sagarika wants schools to teach.“This is the information which can help change our future,” she says.
Growing up in a desert city has made Sagarika know better about the need for action. Her city faces risks from
rising temperatures and decreasing amounts of water. She believes those kids can bring attention to these
environmental problems. “When children speak out a message, and they go door-to-door telling people about this,
they can understand what’s going on,” she says.
Even if she’s all about small actions, Sagarika has big plans. She’d like to study at Stanford University, in
California. And while she’s there, she’ll keep being an activist and running Kids for a Better World. Sagarika hopes
to inspire (激励) others to fight for a greener planet, as others have inspired her. “We’re happy to see so many
inspirational change-makers,” she says.
54. What did Sagarika understand after joining the cleanup group?
_________________________________________
55. How did Sagarika inspire more people to fight climate change?
_________________________________________
56. What do you think of Sagarika’s actions on fighting for a greener planet? Why do you think so? (In about 40
words. At least one point and two reasons. )
____________________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
【答案】54. She understood what a person could do and how she could really make a difference.
55. She set up the platform, Kids for a Better World (which teaches them about what they can do at home and in their
community to reverse climate change). Also, she organized local cleanups to collect litter.
56. I think what she has done is meaningful/important/necessary/helpful because it has inspired more people to get
involved in green activities for our planet. Even small actions on large levels can have a ripple effect. Besides, what
she has done also brings her self-improvement.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了Sagarika Sriram建立了一个平台Kids for a Better World,旨在应对气候变化。
【54题详解】
根据“ ‘The experience helped me understand what a person could do and how I could really make a difference,’
she says.”可知,加入清理小组后让她明白了一个人能做什么,以及她如何才能真正有所作为。故填She
understood what a person could do and how she could really make a difference.
【55题详解】
根据“So, in 2016, Sagarika created Kids for a Better World.”,“The platform teaches them about what they can
do at home and in their community to reverse (逆转) climate change.”以及“As well as online activities, Sagarikaorganizes local cleanups on beaches and deserts in the United Arab Emirates, collecting litter.”可知,Sagarika创
建了Kids for a Better World这个平台,教导孩子们在家里和社区里可以做些什么来扭转气候变化,以及组
织当地的清理工作,收集垃圾。故填She set up the platform, Kids for a Better World (which teaches them about
what they can do at home and in their community to reverse climate change). Also, she organized local cleanups to
collect litter.
【56题详解】
开放性题目,答案言之有理即可。例如Sagarika所做的是非常有意义的,因为这不仅将鼓舞更多的人参与
到保护环境中来,而且也有助于她个人的自我提升。故填I think what she has done is
meaningful/important/necessary/helpful because it has inspired more people to get involved in green activities for
our planet. Even small actions on large levels can have a ripple effect. Besides, what she has done also brings her
self-improvement.
