Riya spent the first week of high school trying to keep her head above water. She found it hard to make new
friends and get used to new teachers. She felt the huge buildings were too huge. She decided that she would just
remember where her classes were and then try to put the rest of the places out of her mind. All of this changed after
a P. E. class.
One day in P. E., the coach said that everyone had to run one mile around the track (跑道). Riya searched the
faces of her classmates for signs of worry. There was nothing she was afraid of more than having to run a whole
mile.
When the coach blew his whistle (吹口哨), Riya thought most of her classmates would pass her. “It’s just the
beginning.” she thought, “I’ll come in last for sure. But what should I do? I cannot just stop here!”
Riya started using a mind trick (技巧) on herself. She stopped thinking about the word “mile”. Instead, she
decided to first reach the big tree up ahead. Then she ran to the place where the track turned. After that, she tried to
see if she could finish her first lap (跑道的一圈). One lap turned into two, then three, then four. When the coach
gave her a high five and said “Nice work”, Riya was surprised. She could not believe that she had just run a whole
mile.
As Riya walked back to the school building after P. E., she noticed that she felt less worried about its size.
Maybe she would come to know the buildings one after another. All her other worries about new school life seemed
to disappear as well because she knew that she would solve problems one lap at a time just like the one-mile run.
24. How was the first week of high school for Riya?
A. Relaxing. B. Difficult. C. Fantastic. D. Boring.
25. What did Riya have to do in her P. E.class?
.
A Count the trees around buildings. B. Run a mile around the track.
C. Search for her classmates. D. Learn to blow a whistle.
26. What can we know from Paragraph 4?
A. The coach taught Riya a mind trick before the run.

C
What if my child doesn’t have friends? Why does my child like to stay alone? Such thoughts probably trouble
most parents at some point. People seem somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of a solitary (独处的) teenager.
But psychologists (心理学家) today believe solitude can help children grow, and some might not be getting enough
of it.
It’s believed that some important development can happen when young people are left to themselves. From the
time most children are born, they look for small moments to be alone. As they grow up, they are sensitive to social
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
pressures (压力) and their need for quiet moments begins to increase. In fact, solitude can help them breathe and
get refreshed.
Research suggests that teenagers who spend some time by themselves seem to get better grades and have less
depression (情绪低落) than those who don’t. When teenagers begin to think on their own, the resulting “self-
connection” can serve them for the rest of their life. Rather than being easily influenced by the people around them,
they’ll be more likely to make decisions that line up with their own values.
Clearly none of this means that teenagers should always be by themselves; different children need different
amounts of alone time. As long as it is reasonable, young people should be the ones deciding how much of that time
is needed, not the grown-ups. Studies have shown that when young people turn to solitude themselves, they better
manage “big emotions (情绪)” and learn more from their mistakes. Sometimes they want to be alone, but other
times they may also just want some control (控制) over their own life.
And when young people are alone now, they’re often on their phone or computer. That’s not necessarily a bad
thing. One study showed that social-media (社交媒体) use made college students feel better about solitude. But
social-media use can also get in the way of the benefits of alone time. If you’re still chatting with friends—or even
just thinking about your online presence—you’re not exactly in the wings.
Of course, some young people need time to get used to being alone. “Solitude skills” can be built up little by
little. In the end, the hope is that young people can push through that discomfort and learn to sit with their feelings.
And for those teenagers who naturally love solitude, people should know they’re not loners. They are just enjoying
their alone time.
When young people look for moments to keep to themselves, we just have to accept that and stay patient.
When they are ready, they’ll be back.
28. The need of solitude ________.
A. starts when a person is a child B. ends when teenagers leave school
.
C changes when people hold on to their values D. increases when teenagers have less social pressure
29. The underlined words probably mean that social-media use can also ________.
A. teach young people to tell right from wrong
B. help young people improve their online presence
C. stop young people from making good use of solitary time
D. allow young people to sit with their feelings about solitude
30. When we find a teenager who enjoys solitude, we should ________.
A. relax and leave them alone B. introduce them to friendly loners
C. teach them to control their life D. invite them to join more activities

细节理解题。根据“From the time most children are born, they look for small moments to be alone.”可知，从大
多数孩子出生的时候起，他们就会寻找独处的时间。故选A。

solitude.”可知，研究表明社交媒体的使用让大学生对独处感觉更好，结合转折连词“But”可知，划线处应是
指社交媒体使用的弊端，选项C“阻止年轻人好好利用独处的时间”符合语境。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据“When young people look for moments to keep to themselves, we just have to accept that and
stay patient. When they are ready, they’ll be back.”可知，当我们发现一个喜欢独处的青少年时，我们应该放
轻松，不要打扰他们。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据“What if my child doesn’t have friends? Why does my child like to stay alone? Such thoughts
probably trouble most parents at some point. People seem somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of a solitary (独

Animals like elephants, beavers and ants could not seem more different. Yet they have one important thing in
common: they are what scientists call “ecosystem (生态系统) engineers.” As they go about their daily business of
living, they change their own living environments. This is good not only for themselves, but many others as well.
Ants

Ants have a great influence on the environment. They help to keep the soil (土壤) healthy by stirring it around
and digging tunnels (挖隧道) that let in air and water. They also help to transport water and other important things
to the roots of plants. Ants take care of the trees by clearing weeds and eating the eggs of some insects. What’s
more, they keep the ground clear of the bodies of smaller dead animals.
Elephants
Elephants are an excellent example of an ecosystem engineer. They play a big part in looking after the health
of the environment.
By digging up grass and knocking over large trees, elephants make more space for other animals and some
plants. This enables some small plants to get more water and sunshine. Elephants sometimes use their tusks (象牙)
to dig dirt out of dry riverbeds, creating waterholes for other animals to drink. When they walk through the forest in
groups, they always leave large footprints. When it rains, water fills the footprints and they become places in which
frogs and insects lay eggs.
Beavers
Beavers are among the most hard-working ecosystem engineers, and they are always busy with their building
work. They use their large front teeth to cut down some older trees, which clears the way for new growth and then
create dams (水坝) to make ponds (池塘)—their favorite place to live. The pond provides beavers a place to get
away from danger and to live. It is also a perfect home for other wildlife like birds, fish, frogs, turtles and some
plants.
Beavers often build their house—which is called a lodge, in the middle of the pond or on the river bank. Inside
the lodge, they have one area for storing their food, and another higher dry area for sleeping. The mud walls of the
lodge help keep it warm in winter.
These are only a few of the best-known ecosystem engineers in natural world— others can be found almost
everywhere!

A Wonderful Trip
During last summer vacation, I went to Zhangjiajie with my parents and we had a great time.
Among all the experiences I had during the trip, climbing the beautiful mountains was the most unforgettable
one. Zhangjiajie’s mountains and forests showed me the real meaning of “beauty of nature”. The strangely shaped
rocks were so amazing that I could hardly believe I was in the real world. What’s more, I could even see the
mountain tops above the clouds.
I’m very glad to have taken this wonderful trip.

九、选做题（共10 分，每小题5 分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Brian was an honest (诚实的) man living in a village. All the people there praised (赞扬) and loved him. He
was really happy about that.
One day while returning from work, he heard that some people were talking about him. He knew people of the
village always praised him, so he couldn’t stop himself from listening to them. When he heard their words, he
became sad. Those people were not praising him but saying that he was too proud and always liked to show off.
Those words shocked him. He thought that until now he was under illusion (幻觉) that everyone liked and
praised him while the truth was just the opposite.
From that day on, whenever he saw someone talking, he started thinking that they must be talking ill of him.
Even when anyone praised him, he would think of it as a joke.
Because of such thoughts, his behavior (行为) started changing and he was sad all the time. So, he went to his
grandpa, Hans—the wisest man in his opinion—for help.
He told his grandpa the whole thing and said, “I am hurt. Everyone keeps speaking bad about me.”
After listening carefully, Hans said, “Grandson, tonight you will have to stay at my place.”
Brian agreed.
When he went to sleep at night, the sound of croaking of frogs (蛙叫) filled in his ears. There was a pond
behind the place and the sound was coming from there.
