Everyone worries. But how do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to deal with your worries:
1. Try to find out what you’re worried about
Sometimes, you will know what you’re worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you can’t, you can ask for help.
2. Think of ways to make it better
There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problem.
Grades at school are often top worries for kids. If you’re worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:
★ Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?
★ How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn’t a test?
★ Do I have a good place to do my homework?
★ Have I tried different ways of studying?
If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.
3. Ask for help
When you’re worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help.
21．How many steps of dealing with your worries are mentioned in the passage?
A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Seven.
22．When you don’t know what you’re worried about, ________.
A．you should try to find it out B．you can’t ask for help
C．you don’t need to think of ways D．you can sit there worrying
23．The passage mainly tells us ________.
A．who is often worried B．when people are worried
C．how to deal with our worries D．what kind of worries people have

“Serena, don’t forget your promise to me that you will mow (割) Mrs. Martin’s yard this weekend, " said Dad. “Don’t let me down.”
Serena was the oldest child in the family, and one of her tasks was to mow their yard. Mrs. Martin, their elderly neighbor, was unable to take care of her yard, so Serena’s dad had volunteered Serena for this job. Since Mrs. Martin’s yard was not very big, Serena knew the job would go quickly. However, she still resented her dad’s promise.
“Why didn’t you ask me first?” Serena had complained.
“Did you ask me first when you volunteered me to be in the school festival last fall? asked Serena’s father.
“Well, no, I didn’t ask you first, but you would have done those things anyway. You’re always willing to help.”
“I try when I can, " Dad answered. “Serena, we have known Mrs. Martin for a very long time. She has often helped our family. Now we can do something for her. Besides, the feeling you get from helping someone makes you wonder who is really helping whom.”
“I don’t know, Dad,”said Serena. “the only feeling I get from mowing our yard is tired.”
“Just you wait and see,” said Dad.
After breakfast, Serena made her way to Mrs. Martin’s yard. She was good at her job and soon had Mrs. Martin’s yard looking tidy. Mrs. Martin came outside with a big glass of orange juice and offered it to her. Serena stopped her work and thankfully enjoyed the drink, while Mrs. Martin talked to her about all of the flowers in her yard. Seeing the joy in Mrs. Martin’s eyes, Serena began to understand how much the yard meant to Mrs. Martin.
After finishing her drink, Serena returned to work with a new attitude. A warm feeling began to spread through her body. Her dad was right. It was hard to tell who was helping whom!

26．How did Serena feel when mowing Mrs. Martin’s yard after her drink?

A tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent years as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.
More than 2,000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2017 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf(大陆架), more bears remain on land to look for food.
Polar bears had always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid-1990s and reported to the local government. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight(困境) of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.
The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. “Today we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year,” Reed said. Most tourists visit in autumn, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. Bruce Inglangasak, who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours, said he’s been offering polar bear tours since 2003 or 2004. Most of his clients are from China and Europe, as well as from other states of the US. Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development.
28．What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovik?
A．Water shortage.
B．Climate change.
C．Their preference for land.
D．Their habitats’ movement to shore.
29．How did common people feel at the sight of more bears on land?
A．Excited.
B．Puzzled.
C．Concerned.
D．Shocked.
30．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Tourism affects the balance of nature.
B．Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually.
C．Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.
D．Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.
31．Which saying can best describe the text?
A．The fittest can survive.
B．Every coin has two sides.
C．After a storm comes a calm.
D．One man’s fault is another man’s lesson.
D
Would you sail over 12,900 kilometres across the Pacific Ocean in a boat made from plastic bottles?
In 2010, a crew of six people did. They sailed on the Plastiki, an 18.3-metre boat made from recycled materials. Everything about the Plastiki was environmentally friendly. The sails were produced from recycled plastic and the masts that held them from used aluminum pipes. Organic materials, such as glue made from nuts and sugar, were used to keep the bottles in place. To power the boat, solar panels and wind turbines were used.
During the journey, crew members lived in a plastic cabin. Their daily routine consisted of sleeping, eating and doing chores. For food, they mainly survived on fresh vegetables grown in a hanging garden as well as canned and dried food. They also ate fresh fish, but were surprised to discover that they found more plastic than fish. “From above, the oceans still look beautiful and untouched,” David said, “but just below the surface is this toxic stew that could quickly end up on our dinner plates.”
The leader, David, organised the voyage in order to draw people’s attention to the environmental dangers our oceans face and the need to recycle plastic. He planned to visit damaged coral reefs and islands in danger from rising sea levels. However, his most important objective was to see the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a huge mass of plastic particles floating in the North Pacific. David hoped that, by sailing through the Patch, he could show the world how serious plastic pollution had become.
Unfortunately, the Plastiki was more difficult to control than expected. Therefore, the boat missed its main destination. However, the crew did make stops at islands in the mid-Pacific, where they picked up supplies and talked to local students. Along the way, they battled fierce ocean storms, torn sails and temperatures that reached up to 38°C．
When the Plastiki finally sailed into Sydney’s harbour, the crew were greeted by cheers. The Plastiki’s journey had shown that if we understand how to use waste materials efficiently, they can be transformed into valuable resources. It had also revealed that it was more important than ever to deliver a serious message: our oceans are filling up with plastic faster than we thought.
32．What was special about the Plastiki?
A．It had high-tech equipment. B．It was made of green materials.
C．It once crossed the Pacific Ocean. D．It had a professional crew on it.
33．What was the purpose of the Plastiki’s voyage?
A．To protect endangered ocean life. B．To test the safety of a new boat.
C．To stop people using plastic products. D．To highlight the plastic waste problem.
34．Which of the following best describes Plastiki’s voyage?
A．Boring but carbon-free. B．Controversial but fruitful.
C．Aimless but comfortable. D．Challenging but significant.
35．What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A．Limited resources should be valued.
B．Actions must be taken by individuals.
C．Plastic waste can be turned into treasure.
D．Environmental problems can be easily solved.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Wherever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was laughed at by her classmates, who were always chanting(唱起……歌) “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti(意大利面)”.
Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to visit her grandfather. Her grandfather lives on a farm, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a special one. Hidden in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking(啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she picked the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look.
Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter spreading around the classroom.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But Catherine walked toward Landy, no matter what they said.

And my mum worked four jobs and completely devoted her life into making mine better. So, to me, she is the definition of a strong woman. And I love her so much, because she’s taught me those values.
When I was seven, I wanted to be an actress and I wanted to live my dream. And when I was eleven, a casting director told me that I wasn’t strong enough to carry my own show.
And the comment almost crushed me but next to me there was my mum who was stronger than ever. She said the most important thing is to always trust myself. She told me to keep going, and taught me to turn the other cheek and let the critics be critics, and let us just trust ourselves. With the support of my mum, I finally realize my dream and become a real actress.

Besides, the feeling you get from helping someone makes you wonder who is really helping whom.”(爸爸回答说:“我尽可能的去尝试。”“塞蕾娜，我们认识马丁太太已经很久了。她经常帮助我们家。现在我们可以为她做点什么了。此外，帮助别人的感觉会让你怀疑到底是谁在帮助谁。)”可知，马丁夫人经常帮助他们家, 现在他们该为她做些事情。而且, 帮助别人时的感受会让人琢磨, 到底是谁在帮助谁呢？可推断出父亲很为他人着想, 很体贴。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“After finishing her drink, Serena returned to work with a new attitude. A warm feeling began to spread through her body. Her dad was right. It was hard to tell who was helping whom!(喝完果汁后，塞蕾娜以一种全新的态度回到工作岗位。一种温暖的感觉开始传遍她的全身。她爸爸是对的。很难分清谁在帮助谁！)”可知，Serena继续修剪草坪时态度有了改变, 温暖的感觉充斥全身。她认为父亲的话是对的, 帮助别人其实就是在帮助自己。由此可推断出此时的Serena内心是喜悦的。故选D。
27．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 “... while Mrs. Martin talked to her about all of the flowers in her yard. Seeing the joy in Mrs. Martin’s eyes, Serena began to understand how much the yard meant to Mrs. Martin(……而马丁太太则跟她谈论她院子里所有的花。Serena看到马丁太太眼里的喜悦，开始明白这个院子对马丁太太有多么重要)”可知, 马丁太太和塞丽娜分享了她对这处院子的喜爱。故选A。

28．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf(大陆架), more bears remain on land to look for food.(最北部的群落所处的地区，气温越来越高，加速了海冰的移动，海冰是北极熊的主要栖息地。随着冰逐渐移动到大陆架以外的深水，更多的熊留在陆地上寻找食物。)”可知，气温上升加速了海冰的移动，破坏了北极熊的主要栖息地，因此导致更多北极熊留在陆地以寻找食物。故选B项。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Polar bears had always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid-1990s and reported to the local government.(北极熊在卡克托维克附近的海冰上一直很常见，但村民们在20世纪90年代中期开始注意到这种变化，并向当地政府报告了情况。)”以及“As more attention was given to the plight (困境) of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.(大约十年前，随着人们越来越关注北极熊的困境，越来越多的游客开始前往卡克托维克。)”可知，村民们注意到越来越多的北极熊出现在陆地上，并向当地政府报告，研究人员和生物学家也开始关注北极熊所处的困境由此可推知，大众对更多北极熊生活在陆地这一现象很关注。故选C项。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Today we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year,” Reed said. Most tourists visit in autumn, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore.(里德说：“今天我们谈论的是数以百计的游客，每年有许多来自世界各地。”大多数游客都是在秋天来的，因为那时海冰离海岸最远，熊被迫向陆地移动。)”以及“Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels.(许多游客在村里呆了几天，村里有两家小旅馆。)”可知，大多数游客会选择在秋季去Kaktovik游览，而且很多游客会在这个小村庄待上几天，而这个小村庄只有两个小旅馆，由此可推知，在秋季Kaktovik的旅馆很抢手。 故选D项。
31．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf(大陆架), more bears remain on land to look for food.(随着冰逐渐移动到大陆架以外的深水，更多的熊留在陆地上寻找食物。)”和最后一段中的““Today we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year,” Reed said. Most tourists visit in autumn, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore.(里德说：“今天我们谈论的是数以百计的游客，每年有许多来自世界各地。”大多数游客都是在秋天来的，因为那时海冰离海岸最远，熊被迫向陆地移动。)”和“Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development.(许多游客在村里住几天，村里有两家小旅馆。村民们从中受益良多。反过来，他们通过旅游业发展的资金支持为北极熊提供了更有效的保护。)”可知，由于气温的上升，北极熊在陆地上的时间增加，这引来很多游客从而促进了旅游业的发展，转而旅游业的收入又为北极熊提供了更有效的保护，由此可知，“事物都有两面性”可以描述本文讲述的情况。故选B项。

34．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Unfortunately, the Plastiki was more difficult to control than expected. Therefore, the boat missed its main destination. However, the crew did make stops at islands in the mid-Pacific, where they picked up supplies and talked to local students.

(Plastiki号的航行告诉我们，如果我们知道如何有效地利用废物，它们就可以转化为有价值的资源)”可以推知，Plastiki号的航行具有挑战性但意义重大。故选D项。

(因此，更密切地注意指尖和指甲是非常重要的)”可知，空前谈到指尖及指甲不但是与外界接触最多的地方，也是细菌最集中的地方，空后则强调要特别注意冲洗这两个部位，故本句是在说明原因：它们是洗手时经常被忽略的部分。故G选项“但是它们是洗手时经常被忽略的部分”符合语境，故选G。

Dear Tom,
With the World Reading Day over, I am writing to share some related information with you.
It’s widely acknowledged that reading benefits us in many ways. Not only can it broaden our horizons but it also deepens our thoughts. Therefore, a series of activities, such as Reading Salon, a Second-hand Book Exchange took place on that day.
What deserved to be mentioned most was the theme of the reading day—Reading Chinese Classics and Inheriting Chinese Culture. From then on, we stuents realized that it was high time that we should do more reading and pass on Chinese culture.
How I wish you had joined us!
Yours,
Li Hua

Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner. She ducked her head with her eyes fixed on the floor as usual. It hit Catherine that the pecking order worked in school, too. Landy was just like the poor little chicken, being teased and ignored by her classmates, merely due to her special height. “It’s high time to do something for a change.” Catherine thought to herself. Having made up her mind, she urged the rest cool kids to make peace with Landy. Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming, “Talking to the long spaghetti? Are you crazy?”
But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, no matter what they said. “Landy, sorry about the spaghetti thing. I should have realized it earlier. Can you forgive us?” Catherine murmured an apology, her face reddening. She figured Landy might just walk away. But she lifted her misty eyes and nodded yes. Catherine wiped away her tears, giving her a warm hug. Moved by the scene, the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy. From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also learned that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was.
