Courtney Holmes agreed to join. He was working as a barber and Saturday was his busiest haircutting day, but he chose to donate his time and give free haircuts to underprivileged kids so they’d look sharp on that first day of class. But then he had an idea: “The kids should earn their free haircut by having to read a book to me,” Holmes said.The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the next two years. Five-to-ten-year-old boys would grab a favorite book, settled into the barber chair, and read aloud while Holmes did his work. If they failed to pronounce the word, Holmes was there to help. After the haircut, they’d review the book, from the characters and vocabulary to the themes — just like in school, only more fun.Holmes recognized that not every parent has the time to read with their kids. “You are working a job, and have to clean the house or cook dinner. Sitting down and listening to kids read is the last thing you have time to do. So I say bring your kids in and let them read to me,” said Holmes, “There was this seven-year-old boy who struggled through his book, reading some of the words with difficulty. I had him take the book home and practice. When the child came back a few days later, he read it with no problems.”Holmes and his family have recently moved to a Chicago suburb. When they get settled, he plans to continue his role as the storybook barber. “The way the world is today with guns and violence,” he says, “It’s a shelter for the kids, to come to the barbershop and read books.”1. The underlined word “underprivileged” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.A. poor B. smart C. unusual D. ugly2. Which of the following does Holmes probably agree with?A. Parents have much time to listen to their kids read.B. The seven-year-old boy has a serious reading disability.C. Kids go to the barbershop just to earn free hair cuts.D. Reading books in the barbershop gets kids away from danger.3. What can be the best title of the passage?A. The Great Value of StorybooksB. A New Way of Improving Reading skillC. Courtney Holmes, the Storybook BarberD. A Specially-designed Barbershop in Iowa【答案】1. A2. D3. CBSchool starting times in America vary from an average of 7:48 am in go-getting Mississippi to 8:31 am in late-rising Connecticut. According to a survey, only in two states — Alaska and Connecticut — do schools tend to start after 8.30 am, the earliest recommended by many medical organizations. That may soon change. On October 13th California’s governor signed a law which cuts 2.7 million of the state’s schoolchildren some slack, setting a limit on starting times of half past eight for high-schoolers and eight o’clock for middle schoolers, in the hope that pupils will benefit from the extra time in bed.There is plenty of reason to think they will. During puberty (发育期), adolescents are more alert in the afternoon and require more sleep in the morning. A research finds that later school starting times are in line with improved attendance, less tardiness (迟延), less falling asleep in class, better grades. It is estimated that moving to a half-past eight start across the country would boost the economy by more than $80 billion within a decade.In response to the evidence, school districts across the country have begun to move start times back, but California is the first state to take the leap. Parents and unions are often bitterly opposed. The California Teachers Association fiercely resisted the change, citing the financial burden on schools as they adjust to the new hours, as well as the burden on parents who work as laborers or in the service industry. Last year the former governor, Jerry Brown, refused similar legislation (立法), saying the decision should be left to school destricts.Supporters argue that it is appropriate for the state to set a minimum health-and-welfare standard. Anthony Portanino, who introduced the legislation, believes evidence of the change’s benefits will soon win over opponents in rural areas. “There really is no significant reason not to do this,” he says, “other than an overwhelming resistance to change from adults.” Which is an attitude many teenagers will be wearily familiar with.4. What is the purpose of the law California’s governor signed On October 13th?A. To make sure students get enough sleep.B. To reduce the financial burden on schools.C. To ensure that parents go to work on time.D. To relieve traffic pressure during rush hours.5. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Many medical organizations recommend school should start before 8:30am.B. Moving start times forward benefits the country greatly in the long run.C. Teachers are optimistic about the change which can relieve their burden.D. Later school starting times make a difference to students’ performance.6. What is Anthony Portanino’s attitude to the new legislation?A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Opposed.【答案】4. A5. D6. BCA letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives(档案馆) by the FBI after being stolen twice.“We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing,” says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Archives. “It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern (实习生), from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes,” and the intern put the letter back. “The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.”Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a clue that the stolen letter was located very close to Washington, D.C. Their art crime team got back the letter but were unable to accuse the suspect because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both genuine and exactly belonged to Smithsonian.The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the area that would become Yellowstone National Park.The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. “It was luckily in good shape,” says Kapsalis, “and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online.”It would be difficult to steal things like the letter. “Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s,” says Kapsalis, “and we keep our high value objects in a safe that I can’t even reach.”7. What happened to Darwin’s letter in the 1970s?A. It was got back by the FBI. B. It was stolen more than once.C. It was bought by the archives. D. It was put in the archives for research purpose.8. What did the FBI do after getting back the letter?A. They proved its real identity. B. They kept it in a safe.C. They helped repair the letter. D. They accused the suspect but failed.9. What will the Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?A. Display it in the Archives.B. Turn it into an item of interest.C. Carry out a major repair.D. Make it available on line.10. What can we learn from the passage?A. People grow more interested in art objectsB. Strict safety measures are taken in Archives.C. The value of museum objects has been increased.D. The letter helped Ferdinand do research into geology.【答案】7. B8. A9. D10.

I am writing to share some information about our class meeting with you.To help the students develop the good habit of garbage classification, we held the class meeting whose topic was “waste sorting”. First, we watched a video about how to sort waste. Then, we were given questions to check whether we could classify waste correctly in daily life. The activity turned out to be meaningful, through which we not only acquired a good knowledge of waste sorting but also raised our awareness of protecting the environment.Best wishes!Yours,Li Hua 第二节：读后续写（满分25分）47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。It’s eight o’clock on a cold spring night. Our apartment has been hit by a storm. I’m so tired tonight. I’ve been on crutches (拐杖) for seven weeks, recovering from an operation, and I’m trying fruitlessly to clean up.The phone rings-for the sixth time in less than an hour. We know who it is.My mother awoke from a coma which damaged her brain at 68. She has been dogged by Paranoia (妄想症) for a decade-she thinks she has been kicked out of her home; she thinks her daughters have not visited in months; she thinks that her friend Jimmy never wants to see her again.She has no idea that she has repeated the things she is about to say a million times today and yesterday. She has no idea that I had an operation, nor can she recall her own granddaughter’s name. She is unaware of most of the past, and she wanders in the present. She is lonely.I throw my anger at the easiest target: my mother.“MOM!” I yell. “YOU ARE NOT BEING REMOVED FROM YOUR HOME! AND WE VISITED TWO DAYS AGO! Mom, you have to believe me, and if you don’t, I cannot talk anymore! Everything is fine!”Silence. Then: “I was only calling to say hi.”I feel the knife of passive aggression (消极进攻). My mother continues, having already forgotten that I yelled. “But I’m also upset about something; do you have a minute?”“No, Mom, I don’t. I can’t again with this!”“Why are you yelling?”I’m yelling because you cannot help me care for my child, or be a “real” grandmother, or even remember to ask me about my day. I’m yelling because I have talked you off this dilemma five times tonight, and because you remind me of everything I fear: aging, sickness, bad luck, loss...I set on the couch, aware of all my daughter is witnessing. She hears me yell at my mother, lose my patience, ignore my loved one. I have failed at being a good example to my daughter.注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。“Can I talk to Grandma Ellie?” My five-year-old reaches for the phone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I am not tired or angry now; I am soft inside,____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】“Can I talk to Grandma Ellie? ” My five-year-old reaches for the phone. Wordlessly, I hand it over. “Hi, Grandma!” I hear my mother exclaim through the receiver. “Sweetheart! How are you? Did you go to school today?” What witchcraft is this? All she said was “Hi, Grandma,” and my mother sounds like a person fully alert to the heartbeat of a normal day. “Yes, Grandma, and today was share day, and I brought my Wonder Woman bracelets.” “Can you put it on speaker?” I whisper to my daughter. She obliges, and out of the phone comes a waterfall of good cheer. My mother tells her how much she loves her and how lovely her voice sounds.I am not tired or angry now; I am soft inside, watching my kindergartner handle her fragile grandmother with such skillfulness. “Do you want me to sing you a song? I know three songs from Annie.” And then my daughter sings. The sharp evening breeze sails through the window, and the mess in our apartment settles around me like an old soft quilt. I listen to my daughter singing quietly to her grandmother, caring for her with exquisite patience. When they hang up, after many kissing noises, I tell my daughter it is bath time. She wildly protests, but I draw the bath anyway. I am still Mommy, after all, and she is still five. And yet tonight, she taught me how to answer the phone like a grown-up.听力答案：1. B  2. B  3. A  4.
