You can use tie-dye (手工扎染), spin art, or fabric markers to create your own unique clothes. All of the other students will be jealous (嫉妒) that their parents aren’t as fun as you!
Bring the Outdoors Inside
Something a lot of kids like to do, even if it is just in the yard, is camping. It’s a good way for children to enjoy something out of the usual while they’re also using their imagination.

In Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, you can find Jamey Turner playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp（竖琴）. A glass harp is made up of different sized drinking glasses, each filled with water.
Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses. By doing so, each glass makes a different musical sound. Visitors to Alexandria like what they see and hear. They thank Turner by leaving a dollar or more in his box for donations. Jamey Turner is 78 years old. Turner became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table. He has been playing it for 50 years.
Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard. He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands, which keeps them from breaking. He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound. Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound. The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound, while the larger ones produce a lower, deeper sound.
Turner always uses low-priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound. Before buying new glasses, he will test them in stores. He decides if they produce the right sound by rubbing his finger over the top of them.
The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument. There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp. But Turner plays all kinds of music, even popular music from China. Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on YouTube. He hopes the next generation will continue making its music.
19．What do visitors think of Jamey Turner's performance?
A．Boring. B．Attractive. C．Special. D．Common.
20．How can Jamey Turner change the sounds of the glasses?
A．By beating the glasses in different parts. B．By placing the glasses on a wooden board.
C．By adding or reducing water in the glasses. D．By holding different glasses with rubber bands.
21．What may be Jamey Turner's real worry about the glass harp?
A．Little music is written for the instrument.
B．People are trying to play the instrument online.
C．Few people are playing the instrument these days.
D．The instrument cannot produce some beautiful sounds.
22．What is the best title for this text?
A．Making Music by Playing Glasses B．Special Sounds from Glasses
C．Devotion to Playing Glasses for Fun D．Fingers over the Tops of the Glasses
According to the World Economic Forum(WEF), eight million tons of plastic waste is being poured out into the oceans every year. That's the equivalent (相等物)of an entire garbage truck being dumped every three minutes, and the source of the problem—the world's cities. In Amsterdam, a simple solution has been found that could stop up to 86 percent of plastic waste ever reaching the oceans—a barrier made of bubbles (气泡).
The way the bubble barrier system works is basically that it is a tube placed diagonally (沿对角线地)on the bottom of the waterway. "The tube has a lot of tiny holes," according to Phillip Ehrhorn, Chief Technology Officer in The Great Bubble Barrier, "We pump air through it, and the air bubbles will rise towards the surface. The plastics are brought to the surface with the air bubbles and then, with the natural flow of the river, towards one side of the river." Then the other part of the bubble barrier system collects and removes the waste.
"Ship traffic is a key economic driver；we won't be able to stop that. So, we would have to find a solution which would not affect all the other existing activities and the ecosystem," Phillip added. The bubble barrier does exactly that. While it provides no block to water traffic and sea life can pass through freely, it also catches plastic waste of all sizes.
The Great Bubble Barrier is trying to work together with Amsterdam and local Non-governmental Organizations(NGOs)to evaluate what the bubble barrier system is catching so as to carry out new policies and additional measures on land. In this way, plastics entering the water could be reduced in the first place. "Our next step is a bubble barrier within Europe and we, of course, want to move to Asia because we think we can make a lot of influence there." said Francis Zoet, the founder of The Great Bubble Barrier.
23．What contributes to the invention of the bubble barrier?
A．Suggestions from the WEF. B．Large amounts of sea waste.
C．Construction of the waterway. D．Requests from the government.
24．What is the function of the air bubbles?
A．Creating tiny holes on the tube. B．Removing the waste in the water.
C．Sending plastics to the surface. D．Changing the speed of the river flow.
25．What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The waste B．Ship traffic. C．Sea life. D．The bubble.
26．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Plastics entering the water will increase. B．The city will evaluate the bubble barrier.
C．The NGOs will move to Europe and Asia D．The bubble barrier will benefit more places.
Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and stories, and know that they are cheering on.
27．Imitation proves useful when you ________.
A．know you are unique B．begin to learn something new
C．lose the balance of life D．get tired of routine practice
28．According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are ________ .
A．desperate to influence others with their knowledge B．eager to discover what their ancestors did
C．ready to turn their original ideas into reality D．willing to accept others’ ideas
29．The trouble a creator faces is ________ .
A．how to use imagination creatively B．the absence of practical ideas
C．how to search for more materials D．the lack of strong motivation
30．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A．To explain the meaning of success. B．To criticize the characters of role models.
C．To compare imitation with creation. D．To highlight the importance of creativity.

三、七选五
Most of us haven’t been taught how to apologize (道歉). Sometimes our efforts tend to be hurtful and can make people feel even worse. When the apology is absent or it’s a bad apology, it puts a crack in the very foundation of a relationship and can even end it. And that’s why it is important to get it right. A good and responsible apology can meet the moment and improve our relationships. ___31___
Less is more.
Keep your apology short and avoid the drama. If you’ve forgotten to return your friend’s bike, you don’t have to overdo it as if you’ve run over her kitten. Over-apologizing is not only annoying — it affects the flow of the conversation and shifts (转移) the focus away from the person who needs to be paid attention to. ___32___ .
No ifs or buts.
When you’re apologizing for something, it’s essential to show true sadness and regret. ___33___ . “But” almost always means a criticism, or an excuse. It doesn’t matter whether what you say after the “but” is true. The “but” makes your apology false.
___34___ .
If you always listen for what you don’t agree with in order to defend yourself and correct the facts, it will do harm to both sides. Instead, you should keep an open mind and listen with an aim to understand the other person.
___35___ . An apology isn’t the only chance you ever get to address the existing issue. The apology is also the chance to establish the ground for future communication. When done with attention and care, an apology can be a channel for greater understanding and deeper connection.
A．Be real
B．Drop your defenses
C．Here are some tips to offer an apology
D．You’ve made the apology all about you
E．A good apology is a beginning, not an end
F．A sincere apology does not include ifs or buts
G．It’s not “I’m sorry” that fixes the problem, but your deeds

The Price of a Dream
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters--a group of foster kids, my father and my wonderful mother. My parents worked day and night to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table. It's true that we had little money and few goods, but we got plenty of love and attention. I was very happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. I fell in love with baseball at an early age, a love so deep that I almost gave it my all. I practiced hard every day and that made me a little closer to my dream. By the time I was sixteen, I had made great progress: I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fast ball and hit anything that moved on the field. I was also lucky: my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. One particular incident (事件) with my coach Ollie Jarvis changed my life forever.
It was the summer holiday in Senior 2 and one of my friends recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and I could also begin to save money for a house for my mother, which was what I had always dreamed of. The prospect (前景) of this summer job was attractive and I wanted to jump at this chance. Then it hit me that I would have to give up summer baseball training to deal with the work schedule. I was afraid of telling my coach, who would certainly be against my plan. I hesitated for several days. At last, I spurred (给……打气) myself with the advice my mother often gave us, "If you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I made up my mind.
Paragraph1:
When I told my coach Ollie Jarvis, he was as angry as I expected him to be.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2：
“Well,” he asked, “is $3.5 an hour from the summer job the price of a dream?”

31．
根据前句“A good and responsible apology can meet the moment and improve our relationships.(一个好的、负责任的道歉可以适时地改善我们的关系)”及下文关于“一些道歉技巧”的内容可知，这里为承上启下句，介绍道歉的技巧。所以C“Here are some tips to offer an apology(下面是一些道歉的技巧)”符合上下文语境。故选C。

(过度道歉不仅让人恼火，还会影响谈话的进行，把注意力从需要关注的人身上转移开)”可知，作者在讲过度道歉的危害，建议不要过度道歉，过度道歉会把道歉的重心从被道歉人（被关注人）身上移开，这样会造成道歉的关注点（重心）不是别人而是你自己，该空与上文因果关系，所以D“You’ve made the apology all about you (你让道歉的重心全是围绕你)”承接上文讲过度道歉的危害。故选D。
33．

35．
根据后文“An apology isn’t the only chance you ever get to address the existing issue. The apology is also the chance to establish the ground for future communication. (道歉并不是解决现有问题的唯一机会。道歉也是为今后的沟通奠定基础的机会)”可知，好的道歉只是一个开始，为以后的沟通奠定基础。所以E“A good apology is a beginning, not an end (一个好的道歉是一个开始，而不是结束)”符合上下文语境。故选E。

52．Paragraph1:
When I told my coach Ollie Jarvis, he was as angry as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said, with a serious look on his face, “but your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mother a house was worth facing his disappointment. “How much are you going to make at this summer job, son? ” he demanded. “$ 3.5 per hour,” I replied in a low voice.
Paragraph2：
“Well,” he asked, “is $ 3.5 an hour from the summer job the price of a dream?” That simple question set me thinking. It made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a long-term goal. Determined to put all my heart into baseball, I promised the coach that I would give up the job. That summer, I dedicated myself to baseball training, and the next year, I was given a baseball scholarship to a university. Finally, I signed with a famous team for $ 1.7 million, and certainly bought my mother the house of my dream.
