A
As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students
around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I
always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me. One day, in a foreign
language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us
some questions, but no one answered.
“Let me tell you a story first,” he said. “When I came to the United States to study, the
university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every
speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a card board folded
(折叠的) in half, wrote their names boldly with the most eye-catching color, and then placed
the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he
could see and call a listener’s name directly.”
“I couldn’t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people who
meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more
chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance would not find you itself. You must
show yourself all the time so that you could find a chance on the card.
1. What did Mr. Black want the students to do in his class?
A．Read loudly. B．Take notes carefully.
C．Be active. D．Listen to him quietly.
2. How did the writer’s classmates behave when they were asked questions?
A．They raised their hands. B．They shook their heads.
C．They closed their eyes. D．They lowered their heads.
3. How did the speaker get to know the students’ names?
A．He got them from the computer.
B．He saw the card boards on the seats.
C．He asked the students for their names.
D．He got them from the name list on the teacher’s desk.
4. What does the underlined word “eye-catching” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese?A．引人注目的 B．眼睛疼痛的
C．目光呆滞的 D．睡眼朦胧的
5. What does the writer mainly tell us?
A．Doing as others do is necessary.
B．Answering questions bravely is easy.
C．Attracting others’ attention is interesting.
D．Showing yourself bravely can win chances.

To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in
fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a sunshade(遮
阳伞).
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.
Probably the Chinese were the first to use it, back in the 11th century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there
was a strange thing that connected with its use: it was a symbol of honor and power. In the Far
East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in the upper class or by
royal people such as kings or queens.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in
common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella
as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages in Europe, the use
of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And
again it became a symbol of power.
The umbrella has not changed much in style during all the time, though it has become much
lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the 20th century that the umbrellas for women began to be made
in all kinds of colors.
1. Ancient people first used umbrellas as ________.
A．a symbol of honor B．protection against the sun

五、补全对话。
Your parents might not realize how important their health is to you. Now it’s your
chance to let them know! Think about it before starting. Before you talk with your parents, it
helps to get clear on what you want them to do. 1 Get more exercise? Get more sleep?
If you want a parent to lose weight, you’d better find out the disadvantage of being heavy and
how great they will feel after eating healthy food or exercising more. 2 Pick a moment
when everyone’s relaxed and there’s time to talk. Say something like: “Dad, I care about your
health and I worry you’re so busy that you don’t have time for exercise.” Let parents know
you are willing to make the change yourself. For example, say you’d be willing to walk
together after dinner.
Come up with a plan together. Has your mom or dad agreed to your ideas? Well done!
Let’s say the change your mom or dad agreed to is eating healthier food.
3 Examples are: I’ll eat five fruits every day. I’ll eat breakfast every morning.
Show your encouragement and understanding.
It’s normal if your parents fail at first. If parents want to give up, encourage them to keep
going. If you’re making a change together, you can say, “Well, I’m sorry. Let’s start fresh and
go on with our plan tomorrow.” 4 Let your parents know you love and care about them
for what they’re doing and that it means a lot to you.
What if a parent says “No”?
If parents don’t follow you ideas, ask them(gently): “Could you at least think about it for
me ?” 5 How many times have you pushed back on something they asked you to do,
but then later thought more about it?
Soon you’ll be grown and out of the house. Here’s your chance to set your parents on the
right way.根据材料内容，选出最佳选项。
A．Then give them a little time to consider.
B．Do you want a parent to eat better?
