And __21_otherwise assigned(指定) a seat by the teacher, I always __22__ to sit at the back of the
classroom.
All this __23__ after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the
basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy __24__ because I didn't have a good sense of

the game，do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn't
__33__ “just yet”．
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the __34_ and the “moves”. Being part of a team was
fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive __35__ in me was winning over my lack of
confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the __36__—friends who
respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my __37__ self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone
from “__38_” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, __39__
raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn't 100 percent __40__ I had the right answer. Now I

第三部分 阅读理解（共两节；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分）
第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分, 满分 30 分)
AWe all know that regular exercise is vitally important for both a healthy mind and body.
Research has shown that just five minutes of exercise in a “green space” can help people to keep
mentally healthy.
Let’s take a look at some ways to get close to nature and make them a part of your regular
exercise routine.
Get on your bike
Cycling is a cheap, easy and fun way to get some good exercise in the outdoors. Try leaving
your car at home and cycling to work one day, if that’s possible. Or get the family together and go
on a weekend bike ride. Check out the local cycle paths before you go, and plan a safe route. Make
sure you take some healthy snacks with you to keep your energy levels up.
Try some outdoor yoga
Practising yoga can be great for reducing anxiety and aiding relaxation, so why not take your
yoga mat and try out some asanas (yoga postures) in the open air? Yoga is great for stretching tight
muscles and increasing flexibility as well as improving mobility, control and breathing. Why not
finish your practice with some quiet meditation to further calm the mind?
Go running
Instead of spending hours on the treadmill（跑步机）, grab a friend and go off for a jog around
your local park, or some nature trails. If you are used to running on a treadmill, you may find it
harder at first, so make sure you have some good, supportive running shoes. You could also find out
where your nearest Parkrun is. They are open to everyone, free, and are safe and easy to take part in.
Join a conservation（保护）group
Joining a conservation group is a great way of keeping fit while helping the world around you.
Do some research into what’s going on in your local area and you could find yourself helping to
plant trees, clear up rivers and so on. You never know it could lead to new friendships, as well as the
knowledge that you are doing something productive for your local area!
41.If you want to cycle with your family, you’d better __________.
A. have a healthy body
B. check the bikes carefully
C. learn some survival skills
D. make good preparations for it
42.What’s the advantage of outdoor yoga according to the text?
A. Getting closer to nature.
B. Feeling relaxed or peaceful.
C. Keeping active and energetic.
D. Building up people’s bodies.
43. What problem do some people have if they want to run around their local park?
A. It takes them some time to get used to it.
B. It needs some patience to continue.
C. It makes them lose interest in running.
D. It leads them to fall behind their friends.
B
It was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked
DeLuca about his plans for the future. “I’m going to college，but I need a way to pay for it” DeLuca
recalls saying, “Buck said ‘You should open a sandwich shop.’”
That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years.
After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn't cover their startup costs，Buck kicked in another $1,000.
But business didn't go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months，we were
doing poorly, but we didn't know how badly, because we didn't have any financial controls.” All he
and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.
DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time.
Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They'd meet Monday evenings
and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second
store. We figured we could tell the public. ‘We are so successful，we are opening a second store.’”
And they did—in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.
But the partners' learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every
Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “It probably
took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me
very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out.” DeLuca says.
And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down.
You just have to keep working toward your goal.” DeLuca adds.
DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain.
44. DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to .
A. support his family
B. pay for his college education
C. help his partner expand business
D. do some research
45. Which of the following is TRUE of Buck？______
A. He put money into the sandwich business.
B. He was a professor of business administration.
C. He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.
D. He rented a storefront for DeLuca.
46. What can we learn about their first shop？_______
A. It stood at an unfavorable place.
B. It lowered the prices to promote sales.
C. It made no profits due to poor management.
D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches.
47. What contributes most to their success according to the author？_______
A. Learning by trial and error.
B. Making friends with suppliers.
C. Finding a good partner.
D. Opening chain stores.

Many kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务) such as emptying the dishwasher,
putting laundry( 洗 好 的 衣 物 ) away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get
allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores．Susie Walton, a
parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message
that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a
team effort,” Susie said, “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids
to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want
their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates(激励) kids to do
chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There
are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed( 兑取) either
online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing
chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our
goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster, “Kids
need positive reinforcement (强化) to help motivate them.”
What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around
their homes without getting anything in return? Write a 200-word response. Send it to
tfkasks4you@timeforkids.com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids.
Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your
response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.
48. How does the author start the passage?

A．Kids should be rewarded for doing chores.
B．Parents decide what kids can do for the family.
C．Kids have the responsibility to share housework.
D．Kids can get extra computer time for doing chores.
50. Paragraph 3 is mainly about______.
A．Chris Bergman’ opinion on raising kids
B．main reasons why kids need encouragement
C．how to motivate kids to try new applications
D．the advantages of rewarding kids for doing chores
51. The purpose of writing the text is to_______.

Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth on 7th February, 1812. His father, John Dickens, was a
clerk in the Navy. In 1814 the Dickens family moved to London and two years later to Chatham in
Kent. Charles attended a private school for a few years there until the family moved back to London
in1822.
Two years later Charles’s father was sent to a debtors’ prison for not paying his bills. Charles
was 12 years old at the time. The family had no money, so he had to leave school and get a job in a
factory that made shoe polish. The conditions there were very bad and the workers were very poor. It
was a completely different world from one Charles knew and he was often sad and lonely.
His father managed to leave the prison and Charles returned to school, but this experience had a
great effect on him. He never forgot it and described it in several of his novels.
Great Expectations is usually described as a bildungsroman, a type of novel that was popular in
Victorian times. Bildungsroman is a German word used for novels that show the psychological and moral development of the main character as he or she grows up. However, Great Expectations, like
most of Charles Dickens’s novels, can not be so easily defined. It is also a story about love and
passion, a mystery story and a story that comments on the society of the time.
Great Expectations is set on the marshes(湿地) of Kent and in London in the early to mid-1800s.
The main character is a poor orphan boy called Pip, who lives with his old sister and her husband,
Joe. One day he meets and falls in love with a rich girl called Estella. She laughs at him because he
is a poor village boy and he starts to become unhappy with his life. A few years later he learns that
he has a secret benefactor（捐助人）, who wants him to live the life of a gentleman. Now that he is
rich, he thinks that he has a chance of winning Estella’s love. He leaves his village and goes to live
London, where he makes new friends. He starts to feel ashamed of his home and his family,
particularly Joe, who he treats unkindly. However, after many adventures he is finally able to
recognize his mistakes.
Charles Dickens originally wrote a sad ending for Great Expectations but he decided to change it
to a happier one because of a suggestion from one of his friends. Most books today contain the new
ending but there are some that also include the original one.
52. According to the passage, which of the following is Wrong about Dickens?
A.Financial difficulties forced the Dickens family to move to London.
B.He was left to take care of himself at 12 when his father was put into a debtor’s prison.
C.He had a little primary education and lived a sad and painful life.
D.Great Expectations was based on much of Dickens’ personal experience.
53. What does the underlined word “Bildungsroman” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.a process of maturation(成熟) and self-discovery.
B.a process of becoming independent.
C.a process of physical and mental development.
D.a change from selfishness to love and passion.
54. What will Pip’s relationship with Joe be possibly like at the end of the story?
A.Pip will become more ashamed of his family and less kind to Joe.
B.Pip will be grateful to Joe and reward him.
C.Pip will be kind and friendly to Joe.
D.Pip will be cold and distant with Joe.
55. Pip realizes what is the most important thing in life at the end of the story?
A. wealth and social status.
B.love and loyalty.
C.lifelong ambition and successful careers.
D.great expectations and wildest dreams.
第二节 七选五 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)
Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie(自
拍). It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.
__56__ Some selfies are extreme close-ups(特写镜头), and others show part of an arm held
straight outward. A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror.
Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend.
Young people are relatively heavier digital users. They are interested in staying connected to their
friends. __57__
There are also kinds of psychological( 心 理 上 的 ) actors driving people to take a selfie and
upload it to a social networking site. __58__A quick and easy way to attract others’ attention is to get “likes” and comments from friends. Secondly, it’s human nature to show off your own great
achievements. When you feel good about yourself or look good, it’s fair too easy to take out your
phone and document it all through one or several selfies. __59__ That’s right. Sometimes people are
bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet. Last but not least, social
media is about being social. If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so it be. It’s
fun, and it’s a cool way to sort of document your own life.
Finally, there are things to be mindful of when you’re posting. It’s easy to think you’re sharing
a photo with a few people. __60__ So don’t post anything online, selfie especially.
A．There are lots of selfie styles.
B．The rise of selfies has become universal.
C．Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selfie activity.
D．The desire to take, post and get “likes” on selfies goes back to a biological behavior.
E．But the whole world of social media is public and every individual can get access to it.
F．There are also people who will take selfies because they have nothing else better to do.
G．The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.

In the picture, we can see a boy in worn clothes, sitting at a shabby wooden table with a pile of
books on it. A weak ray of light came in through a small hole in the wall and he was absorbed in his
reading.
This is a well-known story from an ancient Chinese idiom. The boy, being poor, couldn’t afford
even a candle, so he ‘steal’ light from his neighbor’s house to read at night. The moral of the story is:
we should spare no effort to acquire knowledge and never get discouraged easily no matter how
difficult the situation may be.

W: Do you do anything special on Saturdays?
M: Well, I usually visit my aunt and chat with her for the afternoon. She lives alone and
doesn’t have many friends. She really looks forward to my visits.
W: Do you go to see her every Saturday?
M: I try to. She’s quite old and she can’t walk very far, so I often go shopping for her.
W: Does she live near the shopping center?
M: Yes, but she finds it difficult to carry heavy things because of her poor health. She
also has a lot of pain in one leg.
W: What’s wrong with her leg? Did she have an accident?
M: Oh, no. I think it’s just because she’s old. Many elderly people have a lot of aches
and pains.
W: Yes, I suppose they do. I’m glad I’m still young.

W: Oh, my goodness, did you hear the news?! There was a terrible earthquake in
Pakistan. So many people got hurt. I feel so helpless. I wish there were something
that we could do!
M: I know! Let’s do something to raise money.
W: That’s a good idea. We could bake cookies and sell them at school to raise money
for the people that need help.
M: But most of the girls in our class don’t know how to bake. How about we put on a
fashion show and charge people an entrance fee?
W: Yeah, let’s do that! And maybe we could even sell some of the clothes from the
show afterwards.
M: That sounds great. We can ask some of the local shops to give us the materials so
that we can design some great new looks.
W: Should we do men’s fashion too?
M: That might be nice. But...
