sea of blue mats（垫子）. Megan stepped quietly into the back of the line. The other

children had 36 the tumbling moves months ago. But Megan was still working on them. It simply took her a little longer to learn them.

One day before class, Megan’s father asked to talk to me. “I’m 37 taking Megan out of class,” he said. “Why?” I asked. He said, “She isn’t catching on like the other kids are. I don’t want her to hold them back.” I could see his 38 expression as he said this. Megan’s eyes were looking down as if she wanted to disappear.

“I think you’re making a 39 ,” I said. “Megan needs this class, possibly more than the other children need it. I, myself, didn’t start out as a seven-time national champion. I started out as an eight-year-old girl, just like Megan. When I look at Megan, I 40 myself. She works hard.”

“Sir, your daughter 41 never win a competition or even compete, but I promise you that if she keeps trying and believing in herself, her self-respect will be more 42 than any gold medal. I believe in Megan. I believe that she can 43


anything she sets out to do.” 44 I said these words, Megan looked up at me. Her eyes were filled with tears,

and she was smiling like a bud（花蕾）flowering into bloom. Her father hugged me

and said in a very low voice, “Thank you. Thank you so much.” He turned to Megan and said, “Honey, it’s time for your class.”

Megan 45 did learn many skills in her own time. More importantly, she never again stood at the back of the line. From that day forward, whenever I asked the children to line up for tumbling, Megan ran to stand in the 46 . 35. A. friends B. parents C. teachers D. children36.

Fun Places to Visit in SingaporeJurong Bird Park

At Jurong Bird Park you can see more than 5,000 birds and even feed some of them by hand! If feeding birds makes you hungry, you can join the park’s parrots for lunch.

minute ride will take you to this island. The life on

Does this ever happen to you? Someone introduces you to a friend, you hear his or

her name, and then two minutes later, you forget it. Or you go to the same restaurant

every day and the owner always says “Hello” to you but you can never remember her

name. If this happens, you are typical — actually most people have the problem

remembering names.

Here are some ways that can help people remember names.

Repeat the person’s name loud at least three times while you talk together. For

example, instead of saying “Nice to meet you.” say “Nice to meet you, Jack (for

Sue or whatever the person’s name is).” Instead of saying “Where do you live?”

you can say “Where do you live, Jack?”

Introduce the person by name to someone else right away.

Write the name down (with a little information about the person) as soon as


possible.

There are other ways which may seem a little strange. However, try them.

Think of a story using the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack has

a nice jacket.” Imagine Jack in a nice jacket.

Think of a rhyme（押韵）for the person’s name. For example, think to yourself,

“Jack would look nice in black.” Imagine Jack wearing black clothes.

All these ways have one thing in common. You must pay attention to the people

you meet. You can’t just meet someone, nod your head, say hello, and walk away.

Remembering names takes work and practice.

50. The word “typical” probably means “______”.

A. funny B. common C. strange D. careless

51. Which of the following may seem unusual to help remember a name?

A. Repeating the name. B. Writing the name down.

C. Making up a story with it. D. Introducing the person to others.

52. If you want to remember names easily, you must ______.

A. look after the people you meet

B. pay attention to the people you meet

C. nod your head to the people you meet

D. talk politely to the people you meet

C

Do termites（白蚁）sound delicious? If you were living in Mexico or Thailand or

Kenya, the idea of eating insects（昆虫）might not seem strange and unusual to you at

all. For thousands of years, insect-eating, has been common practice among many of

the world’s people. According to insect-eaters around the world, insects are tasty.

“When they are cooked, I find termites really delicious,” Arnold Van Huis of

Wageningen University in the Netherlands said. Van Huis is an insect scientist. He also

studies insect-eating. He has traveled the world to learn how different groups of people

collect insects and prepare them as food.

Insect fans say insects are not only tasty, they are also nutritious（有营养的） .


Many are full of protein, vitamins and minerals. Van Huis is working with other

scientists to encourage insect-eating.

According to the United Nations, the world’s population is now almost 7 billion. It

is expected to reach 9 billion before 2050. By that time, the need for meat is expected

to double. Raising animals such as cows and sheep requires large areas of farmland,

and feeding the animals can be expensive. “We have to find other choices of meat,” Van

Huis says. “One good choice is eating insects.”

Raising insects, which are able to live in crowded quarters, requires less land, says

Van Huis. Insects are also cheaper to feed, since they can eat food scraps, such as

potato skin.

Not only can insects eat our scraps, but also they require much less food and water

than cows or sheep. “A cow wastes most of its energy just keeping warm,” Brian Fisher,

an insect scientist in the U.S. says. But since insects are cold-blooded, they use more of

what they eat to grow.

For insect-eating to become the mainstream, Fisher says people must have a

chance to sample delicious, ready-to-eat insects. If you want a try, it is possible to order

insect dishes at a few restaurants.

53. What do you know from the first paragraph?

A. Insect-eating has a long history.

B. People cook insects in traditional ways.

C. Insect-eating is unusual and unacceptable.

D. People travel around the world to collect insects.

54. We can infer that ______.

A. insect-eating is common in the U.S.

B. people can benefit from insect-eating

C. insects are more nutritious than animals

D. eating insects is sure to be popular in the future

55. What is probably the best title for this passage?

A. Time to Raise Insects B. Easy Enough to Cook

C. A New Choice for Meat D. A Strange Way of Eating

D

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my


community（社区） . As a result, all students must complete sixty hours of service

learning, or they can not finish the education in high school. Service learning is a

school subject that also helps the community. Examples of service learning include

cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or teaching a student. During a

service experience, students must keep a diary and then write a report about what they

have learned.

Supporters state that there are many benefits of service learning. Perhaps most

importantly, students are forced to think beyond their own interests and realized the

needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that include responsibility,

problem-solving, and working as part of a team. Finally, students can think about

possible careers（职业） through service learning. For example, if a student wonders

what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a

few afternoons each month.

While there are many benefits, people who disagree with service learning point out

problems with the new requirement. First, they hold their opinion that the main reason

students go to school is to learn key subjects and skills. Because service learning takes

too much time, students spend less time studying the key subjects. Second, they believe

that forcing students to work without pay goes against the law. By requiring service, the

school takes away a person’s freedom to choose.

In my opinion, service learning is a great way to contribute to the community, learn

new skills, and think about different careers. However, I don’t believe you should force

people to help others — the wish to help must come from the heart. I think the best way

is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of

self-study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility,

and as young adults, we must learn to deal with both wisely.

56. Service learning is ______.

A. a way to help the community

B. a must to complete the school report

C. a programme to protect the environment

D. an example to teacher students


57. Supporters believe service learning is mainly for ______.

A. teaching students real-life skills

B. providing students chances of working

C. making students know what others need

D. helping students think about their interests

58. People who disagree with service learning think that ______.

A. forcing students to work goes against the law

B. students must spend more time on key subjects

C. there are more disadvantages than benefits

D. service learning is worthless to students

59. What’s the writer’s opinion on service learning?

A. Students should be more responsible in service learning.

B. Service learning is likely to be less important than self-study.

C. Service learning should be encouraged in more high schools.

D. Students should be free to choose between self-study and service learning.

八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共 10 分，每小题 2 分）Without the creativity of one man, there would be no “happiest place on earth”,

also known as Disneyland.

Walt Disney was born in 1901 in Chicago, Illinois. As a

child, he enjoyed drawing and even sold his pictures to

neighbors. When he was sixteen, he joined the Red Cross and

drove an ambulance in France during World War I. After the war

ended, Disney started making short cartoons in Kansas City, but

soon ran out of money. He decided to try his luck in Hollywood.

He came to California with a suitcase and $20 in his pocket.

It took a while, but Disney began to enjoy success with his cartoons. He created

Mickey Mouse, the most famous cartoon character ever. Then in 1937, Snow White and

the Seven Dwarfs was first screened. It was the first full-length cartoons, and it turned

out to be a huge success. Disney made many more movies that we still watch today,

including Pinocchio, Dumbo, and Bambi.

It was in the 1940s that Walt Disney first had his brainstorm about a fun park for

families. His idea grew bigger and bigger, and he realized he needed a lot of space for

his park. He wanted it to have everything—a mountain, rockets, spinning teacups, and a

fairy castle!

Years after Walt Disney first had the idea, Disneyland opened in 1955 in Anaheim,

California. Admission（门票）cost a dollar. In the next ten years, 50,000,000 visitors

came to the Magic Kingdom.

64. Is Disneyland “happiest place on earth”?

65. What did Disney do after World War I ended?

66. When was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs first showed?
