16
over

Like paper. Then I noticed my

“So?” Mrs. Walker asked.
“I ran after the bubble into Mrs. Roosevelt’s garden. I saw her cat attack it. The
bubble broke. All I saw then was the cat running away. Mrs. Roosevelt helped me search the

. But my homework was nowhere to be seen.”
Mrs. Walker shook her head. “ 19
, Winston, why didn’t you just tell me that the
homework was too
20
instead of making up that wild story?”
Just then, the office worker walked in with a letter.
Winston opened the letter and took out the wrinkled homework paper and a note that said,
“For Winston’s teacher.”

阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将
该项涂黑。
A
Summer is finally here for most of us. Sadly, summer is not so pleasant to people in
a bit less lucky places, where air conditioning(空调) is not easy to get for most of them.
But as a saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way, especially for those who
like doing it yourself (DIY). A young man from Bangladesh(孟 加 拉 国 ) designed an air
conditioning system called the Eco Cooler, one that does not require power, and is made
of the world’s most common waste — plastic bottles.
The Eco Cooler is super simple to build — no special engineering skills are required.
First, to fix it, a window should be taken away and replaced(替代) by it. Second, a board
should be cut into the size of a window. Some bottle-neck sized holes should then be cut
onto the board. Then, the funnel-shaped(漏斗状的) bottlenecks, cut from the plastic bottles,
should be put into the holes. The next step is to fix the design onto the window frame(框)
with the wider side facing outwards. And this is it.
The Eco Cooler then works by catching the winds and sending them inside the building.
It can reduce the temperature of a room by as much as 5°C — a big difference when looking
at comfortable 25°C compared to uncomfortable 30°C.
The idea of the inventor, Ashis Paul, was to show his great product to as many people
as possible. For this purpose, he received help from some groups of volunteers. Together,
they offered to help local people build and fix the units, as well as teach them how to
make them themselves.
Yes, the Eco Cooler is not a super high-tech air conditioning system, but it is one
that can make a big difference.
23. When building the Eco Cooler, we should pay special attention to ________.
A. the shape of the window
B. the direction of bottlenecks
C. the temperature of the outside
D. the weight of the board
24. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Ashis Paul is a clever inventor and a successful businessman.
B. An Eco Cooler can fix the room temperature to comfortable 25°C.
C. The new invention of Eco Cooler is friendly to the environment.
D. Local people will replace their air conditioner with an Eco Cooler.
25. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. DIY air conditioning made from plastic bottles
B. Eco Cooler — a super high-tech air conditioner
C. Why do we need an Eco Cooler in summer?
D. A strong-willed inventor and his DIY dream
B
How to investigate
1
Planning
Decide on a scientific problem to investigate
For example, a student named Mary has decided to research into how
quickly sugar dissolves(溶解) in water.
Write down your hypothesis
You may already have an idea of what you expect to happen in your
investigation. This idea is called your hypothesis. It may not be
right! It is just an idea, though it may be based on work in science
which you have done before. The aim of your investigation is to test
your idea.
Decide what variables(变量) you are dealing with
Things like temperature, size, weight, and colour are called
variables. Variables are things you can measure(测量).
In your investigation, you have to decide what the variables are,
which ones you will keep fixed, and which you will change.
You need to change just one variable at a time. If lots of variables
change at once, it won’t be a good test.
Decide what equipment you need, and in what order you will do things
Prepare tables for your results
Getting your evidence(数据)
Make your measurements, and record your results
Reaching conclusions
Look for patterns in your results
Present your conclusions
What links(关联) did you find between any of the variables? How would
you explain these links?
Checking your findings
Compare your conclusions and hypothesis
Do your results support your idea?
2
3
4
26. What does the underlined word “hypothesis” most probably mean?
A. reason
B. result
C. method
D. guess
27. In Mary’s investigation, which of the following about the variables is true?
A. She can only change one variable at a time.
B. Some of the variables can’t be measured.
C. Her weight and age can be the variables.
D. The temperature of water cannot be a variable.
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to do a scientific research.
B. How to explain a scientific
finding.
C. How to deal with a chemistry problem.
D. How to understand some chemistry
knowledge.
C
We wake up very early to go to school, maybe even earlier to meet with a teacher, complete
our extracurricular(课程以外的) activities, come home to have a quick dinner, talk for eight
minutes with our parents and do homework until we fall asleep. But then we remember. We
have to look at the American College Test (ACT) exercises one more time. Half asleep, we
run downstairs to get the ACT book, and start studying. After this we finally get to turn
off the lights and drift away to sleep. And then six hours later, we do it all over again.
In my health class, my teacher told us that teenagers need at least eight to nine hours
of sleep each night. The sad truth is, with so much to do every day, high school students
cannot keep to this sleep schedule(安排).
Let me ask you all a question: Doesn’t it seem more humane(人道的) to give a teenager
perhaps two hours of homework each night? This would allow us to have the eight to nine
hours of much needed sleep. Or does it seem better to pile students with five hours of work
a night? It leaves us very little time to relax, therefore reducing the time that we can
sleep.
In my opinion, the present structure(结构) of the junior year of high school doesn’t
work well. Junior year of high school is a time for growth. By this time many students have
the ability to think creatively, and solve challenging problems. Homework is important for
a student’s growth. But do we really need to spend countless hours a night doing it? Too
much homework can only lead to too little sleep and too low an ability. I do think it is
time to change the structure, so that we sleep at home, and learn at school.
29. In the first paragraph the writer gives ________.
A. a picture of the present daily life of high school students
B. an example of an ideal daily life of high school students
C. a reason for high school students to live a busy daily school life
D. a suggestion of what high school students should do to pass ACT
30. From the last paragraph we know that the writer thinks ________.
A. junior year of high school is the most important growth period
B. challenging problems are needed for a teenager’s growth
C. the ability to think has nothing to do with homework
D. the present structure leads to students often sleeping in class
31. Why does the writer write this article?
A. To prove the role of enough sleep in teenagers’ growth.
B. To complain about the problems in the system of the ACT.
C. To ask for a change for less homework and more sleep.
D. To discuss the relationship between sleep and homework.
D
After a while attention to Tom ended, and the usual school murmur(嗡嗡读书声) rose
upon the boring air once more. Now the boy began to steal secret glances(偷看) at the
girl. She noticed it, made a face at him and gave him the back of her head for the space
of a minute. When she slowly faced around again, an apple lay before her. She pushed it
away. Tom gently put it back. She pushed it away again, but with less animosity(敌意).
Tom patiently returned it to its place. Then she let it remain. Tom wrote on his paper,
“Please take it — I got more.” The girl glanced at the words, but made no sign.
Now the boy began to draw something on the paper, hiding his work with his left hand.
For a time the girl refused to notice; but her human curiosity(好奇心) soon began to show
itself by hardly noticeable(明显的) signs. The boy worked on, seemingly not aware. The
girl made some non-committal(含糊的) efforts to see, but the boy did not display that
he was aware of it. At last she couldn’t bear it and whispered:
“Let me see it.”
Tom partly uncovered the picture of a house with some smoke rising from the chimney(烟
囱). Then the girl’s interest began to fasten itself upon the work and she forgot
everything else. When it was finished, she gazed a moment, then whispered:
“It's nice — draw a man.”
The artist created a man in the front yard; she was satisfied, and whispered:
“It's a beautiful man — now draw me in it.”
Tom drew an hour-glass(沙漏) as the body, a full moon as her head and some arms added
to it. The girl said:
“It's ever so nice — I wish I could draw. No one has ever taught me that.”
“It's easy,” whispered Tom, “I'll learn you.”
“Oh, will you? When?”
“At noon. Do you go home to dinner?”
“I'll stay if you will.”
“Good — that’s a deal. What's your name?”
32. What probably happened in the classroom before this passage?
A. The girl introduced herself to the boy.
B. Something noticeable happened to
the boy.
C. They had a lesson on how to draw.
D. The boy drew an apple for the girl.
33. What most probably happened to the apple finally?
A. Eaten by the boy because the girl didn’t accept it.
B. Eaten by the boy because it was the last one he had got.
C. Eaten by the girl because they finally became friends.
D. Eaten by the girl because the boy was drawing all the time.
34. What can we learn from the 2nd paragraph?
A. The boy didn’t want the girl to show interest in his drawing.
B. The girl didn’t want to show interest in the boy’s drawing noticeably.
C. The boy didn’t notice the girl trying several times to see his drawing.
D. The girl didn’t want the boy to do the drawing in class any more.
35. What in this passage made Tom succeed in making friends with the girl?
A. Using her curiosity.
C. Teaching her how to draw.
B. Showing off his drawing ability.
D. Inviting her to dinner.
四、阅读表达（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 5 分）
阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格里只填一个单词。
When a thought has found words
Poetry (诗歌) is the forgotten child of literature. Few people read it for pleasure.
In Western high schools, poetry is seldom taught because it is considered to be out of date
and have little to do with the life of today’s students.
In China, however, poetry is still an important part of the curriculum (课程). Recently,
the Ministry of Education has increased the number of ancient Chinese poems for students
to memorize and recite, from 14 to 72. Why is it important to learn poems?
First of all, poetry is a necessary part of learning traditional Chinese culture. It
is a path to understanding your history and your society. It is also the key to understanding
the thoughts and feelings that are common to everyone but that we may be unable to express
— the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon, for example. Everyone has feelings of joy, love,
loneliness, sadness and even anger, and a good poem can put those feelings into words and
bring us self-understanding.
Poems can also express beauty. In a few short lines, even something common can become
beautiful. Here is a poem called “Fog” by Carl Sandberg: The fog comes / on silent haunches
(弓腰) / and then moves on. Yes, fog does move smoothly, silently and like a cat, and Sandberg
catches that feeling and image (形象), and makes it beautiful.
Of course, to really enjoy poetry, it has to be read aloud. After all, a poem is really
just a song without music. Most ancient poetry, like Homer’sEpics（《荷马史诗》）and China’s
Book of Songs，was spoken for hundreds of years before it was written.
The American poet Robert Frost said, “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought
and the thought has found words.” You are lucky that you now have seventy-two poems to
learn!
