Everyone wants a blue ribbon (丝带). Blue is the first place. Even kindergartners (幼儿园小
孩) 1 that blue ribbon. In sports, I was never a winner.
During the spring of my kindergarten year, our class had a field trip in a nearby park. We
planned to have a race. However, it was not a common race. It was called the three-legged race. Our
feet were tied together with a little red ribbon. One 2 boy got me for a partner. He almost
always won, but I knew that, with me, he didn’t have a chance. Certainly, he didn’t 3 that
at first.
The gun sounded, and we were off to the other side. 4 were falling around us but we
stayed on our feet. Only one other pair even had a chance. Unluckily, only one foot away from the
finish line, I fell down. We were close enough that my partner could have 5 pulled me across
the finish line and won. But he didn’t. Instead, he stopped and helped me up, just as the other couple
crossed the finish line. I still remember that moment, and I still 6 that little red ribbon.
When we graduated many years later, I stood on that stage and gave the valedictory address
(告别演说) to that 7 group of students, none of whom even remembered that moment any
more. So, I told them about that little boy who had made a 8 that helping a friend up was more
important than winning a blue ribbon. I keep that ribbon 9 it is a reminder that you don’t have

I was so careful. I was nervous too. I had taken driving lessons and just 1 my driving test.
I now had my license. I had to pick up my father from work and drive him to the train station. I must
have looked at the speedometer (速度计) a hundred times on that first trip. But as I got close to my
father’s work, I felt more and more 2 .
There he was standing in front of his office building. His friends made jokes about me driving.
They joked that they would never see my father again. He hugged them goodbye and pretended (假
装) he was going on a very 3 task — a trip with his son driving the car!
We all laughed.
But then, I was nervous again. I had to pull the car into the street. With all the traffic, there
weren’t many chances. After a long time, the way was finally clear.
We got onto the highway and things settled (安定) down. My father was giving me some advice
4on how to change lanes (车道). 4 , I saw flashing blue and red lights in the view mirror. The
police were 5 me! They were pulling me over. “Oh no!” I said. “This is too terrible. I’ve been
pulled over on my first trip as a licensed driver!”
“What did you do?” my father asked. I told him I didn’t know. I could not believe that I was
speeding because there were so many cars passing me. Clearly, they were going 6 than I was.
The police officer came to my window. I 7 to smile, but I couldn’t. “The speed limit on
these roads is 100 kilometres per 8 ,” he said. “Do you know how fast you were going?” I
didn’t. “120?” I guessed.
“No. You were going 65 kilometres an hour. You 9 drive that slow. You’ll cause an
accident.”
When he found out this was my first day driving, he laughed and said, “You know, I don’t get
to say this very often, but I will tell you. Please go a little faster on these 10 . Not too fast
though.”
He smiled and walked away. And that was my first day as a licensed driver.

It had been raining all day. In the morning I put on my blue silk dress, since I wanted to look
beautiful, but it soon got terribly wet. A lot of people were standing outside Madame Tallien’s house.
They were staring (注视) at the bright lights in the windows. Some of them were whispering angrily.
I wasn’t surprised. The poor people couldn’t get enough to eat, but the leaders of the revolution (革
命) lived like kings.
I opened the gate and went in but was stopped by a servant (仆人) at the door. “Did Madame
Tallien invite you?” he asked. I shook my head. “No uninvited lady can come here, unless a
gentleman is with her. Those are Madame Tallien’s orders.” And he pushed me out into the street.
“I must ask a man to take me. If I don’t, I shall never get in,” I thought. Then here came a very
tall man. He wore an army officer’s uniform, like Napoleon’s. I walked straight up to ask him for
help. To my surprise, he was kind enough to agree, so I got in.
At last I saw Napoleon, who was sitting on a little sofa with a beautiful fair-haired woman in
a pink silk dress. What surprised me was the great change in his appearance. The old trousers had
gone. He was wearing a new uniform and looking white and ill.
“Has everyone a glass?” Madame Tallien asked, looking around at those in the beautiful hall.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve something important to tell you. Our dear Josephine has decided to
marry again. She is going to marry one of France’s bravest officers — General Napoleon Bonaparte.”
“No!” A woman’s voice was heard, loud and sharp.
The wild cry filled the room. A terrible silence followed. Suddenly I recognized the voice —
it was my own. And everyone was staring at me, but was too surprised to say anything. Then I took
two steps forward and looked into the eyes of the woman who had taken Napoleon away from me.
You could imagine how much I hated her. I threw my glass at her feet and she screamed with fear.
A moment later I was running down a dark wet street. I don’t know how I escaped from that
house. Perhaps the servants were too surprised to stop me. I ran and ran till I reached a river.
“The Seine,” I thought. “Good! Here is the Seine.”
I walked slowly on to the bridge and looked over the side. Thousands of lights were dancing
on the water. How gay it looked! And how lonely I felt!
Then I thought: “Tonight Napoleon will tell his mother and Joseph that he’s going to marry the
woman.”
The thought was too terrible. I started to climb up the side of the bridge. But a strong had held
my shoulder, and it pulled me back.

Just as music and TV, the video game industry has its big-name players.
Tetris is such a form of entertainment that shows no signs of stopping up to
now.
Tetris is played in what’s called a Matrix – an empty rectangle on a
screen. Shapes (each is made up of four equal squares), called Tetriminos, fall
into the Matrix. It’s the player’s job to place each Tetrimino so that it forms
an unbroken horizontalline (水平线) with other shapes. A Tetromino can be
spun or moved horizontally, but can’t be flipped (翻折). When a straight line
is formed, the squares in the line disappear and the player will be rewarded.
The game ends when the Tetriminos pile up and reach the top of the Matrix.
It becomes difficult because the shapes fall faster the longer you play.
Tetris is one of the best-selling video games of all time. Have you ever wondered who invented
it? The game was created by a Russian computer engineer named Alexey Pajitnov in 1984. He was
inspired (启发) by his favorite board game Pentominos and he designed the game just for fun.
The game became popular almost as soon as it hit the market. In 1996, Pajitnov set up the Tetris
Company. When it started as a basic computer game, Tetris quickly spread to other platforms. It was
one of the most often played games on Nintendo’s Game Boy.
Tetris was also the first video game played in space. In 1993, Russian Aleksandr Serebrov
played the game on his Game Boy while he was on a rocket. Since then, Tetris has been one of the
most popular games among kids and adults alike.
Tetris may be quite fun. ①In a 2009 study, kids played Tetris daily for about 30 minutes over
the course of three months. ②The game has also been used to help treat PTSD patients. ③This
led to growth in parts of their brains. ④But it’s also been shown to have an active influence on the
brain.
Many people enjoy playing Tetris, but some have a difficult time putting the game down. They
spend so much time playing Tetris that they see Tetriminos falling in their dreams. Some even report
hallucinations (幻觉). This is called the “Tetris Effect”. Since it has certain side effect, just make
sure you play with adults’ allowance!
1. According to the passage, which of the following can be an S-Tetrimino?
A. B. C. D.
2. Which of the following shows the right order of Paragraph 6?
A. ④①③② B. ④②③① C. ②④①③ D. ②①④③
3. What can we learn about Tetris?
A. It became the popular hand-held game after it was taken into space in 1993.
B. It will forever be a part of the entertainment landscape just as music and TV.
C. It has been around for years, and seems to keep the quality it’s had since day one.
D. It is a video game that players can control the shapes and guide them into place easily.
4. The writing purpose of this passage is __________.
A. to explain the advantages of a game
B. to introduce a popular single player game
C. to show how to play a game really well
7D. to describe the special history of a game

恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。

Frightened passengers trapped in flooded subway cars in Zhengzhou, China. Water pouring
down stairways into the London Underground. A woman walking through dirty, deep water to reach
a New York City subway station.
Subway systems around the world are fighting with terrible weather brought on by climate (气
候) change. Some networks, such as London’s or New York’s, were designed and built starting more
than a century ago. At the same time, the crisis (危机) in China shows that even some of the world’s
newest systems (Zhengzhou’s system isn’t even 10 years old) can also be overwhelmed (压倒).
“It’s terrible,” said Sarah Kaufman, director of the Rudin Center for Transportation at New
York University. “The challenge is, how can we get ready for the next storm, which was supposed
to be 100 years away,” she said, “but could happen tomorrow?”
Just days before the China subway crisis, floods in Germany killed
more than 160 people. As Robert E. Paaswell, a professor at City College
of New York, put it: “Subways are going to flood. They’re going to flood
because they are below ground.”
With more terrible flooding down the line, protecting subways all of
the time will be impossible. Instead, money is needed in buses and bike
lanes (车道) that can serve in other ways of public transportation when
subways are flooded.
Some researchers question why public transportation needs to be underground in the first place
and say that public transportation should reclaim (重新占领) the street.“We have this habit from the
last century to give so much of the space above ground to cars,” he said. “But one bus lane carries
more people than three lanes of cars.” said Bernardo Baranda Sepúlveda, a Mexico City-based
researcher at the Institute for Transport Development.

According to several recent surveys, some people fear public speaking more than anything else.
Luckily, this fear can be overcome (克服) with two simple methods: practice and using positive (正
面的) energy from the audience.
Practising for a speech is essential. After the task of writing the speech is complete, speakers
must practise, practise, practise. The more times they practise the speech, the more comfortable they
will discuss the topic. Using objects such as mirrors or video recordings as they practise can show
speakers what they look and sound like to the audience. Video is particularly helpful as it can be
watched many times, with the presenters focusing (集中) on one part at a time.
Another way of solving public speaking fears is using the audience’s positive energy. Speakers
need to remember that the audience want them to succeed. Something as basic as a small nod or a
smile from a member of the audience should give confidence to the presenters behind the podium
(讲台). While it is easy for nervous speakers to focus only on getting through the presentation, using
the audience’s good will helps much in making a speech better.
All in all, these two strategies are sure to help with fear of public speaking. With proper practice
and audience empathy (共鸣), it is possible to overcome the fear of public speaking and deliver a
successful speech. So there is no need to fear public speaking any more.
