They can be used in a summer salad or to make a tasty sauce. But is the tomato a fruit? Or are we eating a vegetable?Farmers, cooks and lawyers all have different answers to this question. But it may seem ___16___ to us. Eat it for lunch? Vegetable. Eat it for dessert? Fruit! But it’s not that easy. There are legal definitions (法律界定) for what are considered fruits and vegetables, ___17___ scientific ones.To answer the question “Is a tomato a fruit?”, let’s look at the definition of fruit. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, fruit is “the part of a plant that ___18___ one or more seeds and flesh (果肉) can be eaten as food and usually tastes sweet.” Like other true fruits, tomatoes form from small yellow flowers on the vine (藤蔓) and naturally contain many seeds. These seeds can later be used to ___19___ more tomato plants. A equally B. decision C. In conclusion D. claimed E. suggestionDoes that mean that pumpkins, peppers and cucumbers are fruits? Yes, scientifically speaking, they are all fruits. Then, what is a vegetable? Simply put, if you just eat the stems or leaves or roots or flowers of a plant, that makes it a vegetable. ___20___ , carrots, potatoes and broccoli (西兰花) are all vegetables. While tomatoes are scientifically fruits, they’re legally classed as vegetables. In 1893, the U. S Congress (美国国会) passed a law. It put a 10-percent tax on whole vegetables. So, to avoid paying the fee, sellers ___21___ that tomatoes were fruit. The Supreme Court (美国最高法院) then made a ___22___ for the case. It stated that tomatoes were vegetables instead of fruit. The reason was that cooks prepared them and people ate them like vegetables. This means, legally speaking, tomatoes are vegetables. When it comes down to the exact definition, it doesn’t really matter. After all, both fruits and vegetables are ___23___ helpful and necessary for our bodies. Whether you like tomatoes in a salad or prefer tomato soup, eating this fruit/vegetable will do you good.IV.

A kid may not have good handwriting, but he or she could still be very very smart. For example, many great scientists’ handwriting is horrible, but they have risen to the top of their fields. Plus, even some doctors have bad handwriting, but we don’t care so much about it. By MiniballballRemember the future. In the future, many jobs won’t be available because of the rise of robots and technology. In the past, you would write a letter and send it. That was like 50 years ago. Now, we have emails. Everything will be automated (自动化) soon. So is there even a point to having a debate on handwriting? NO, it really won’t matter at all!By Little Cherry42% Say NoHandwriting should decide students’ grades. This is because if your handwriting is bad, the teacher may not understand what you have written even though your answer is correct. Therefore, I strongly disagree with this motion. It’s worth nothing that handwriting doesn’t have to be very beautiful, but it can reflect (反映) a student’s attitude towards his or her studies. By blue000nHandwriting is important. It may not play a big part in this modern world, but it’s still very important to many people. In many jobs—more than most people think—having good, clear handwriting is necessary. If early on in school you get graded on your handwriting, then you can improve on it and get a better job in the future. Also, it’s been scientifically shown that children with good handwriting are able to spell and remember things better than children with bad handwriting. By WallingCrib39. There are ________ more votes for the motion than there are votes against it.A. 58%B. 42%C. 16%D. 100%40. The underlined word “it” from Miniballball’s message refers to ________.A. a book’s coverB. some doctors’ bad handwritingC. a kid’s poor handwritingD. great scientists’ horrible handwriting41. Little Cherry thinks many jobs won’t be available in the future because ________.A. no one will write lettersB. robots and technology will develop quicklyC. people now have emailsD. everything will be done by machines42. According to blue000n, if a student’s handwriting is bad, ________.A. the answer must be wrongB. he/she can’t pass the examC. the teachers may misunderstand what he/she has writtenD. it can’t reflect the attitude towards his or her studies43. WallingCrib holds the opinion that ________.A. handwriting isn’t necessaryB. handwriting is importantC. handwriting should not be gradedD. handwriting must be graded44 We can read this passage on a/an ________.A. local newspaperB. novel collectionC. science magazineD. internet forumB.

Even if you don’t have braces right now, you might need them one day. Braces are a way of improving how teeth look and how they work. The metal wires work by putting pressure on the teeth, to slowly move them in the right direction. The rubber bands help to adjust the alignment (排列) of your teeth. Working together, the wires and rubber bands straighten your teeth and ___45___.Different kids have different feelings about braces. Some can’t wait to get them because they know that they’ll improve their smile. Others ___46___ how braces will change how they look. Many are afraid of being uncomfortable. It’s Okay to have these worries, but kids who get braces often find they have no reason to worry. Braces are just tools that dentists use to ___47___ the alignment of your teeth. Not all teeth grow straight, and this is ___48___. But braces can help straighten or move teeth so that they can do their jobs as well as possible. Years ago, braces were made of thick metal that was very easy to notice. Today, they look much better. Sometimes, you can get braces that go on the back of your teeth. ___49___ these developments, braces aren’t as noticeable today as they once were. Most kids have to wear braces for only a couple of years or so. After the braces are taken off, they may have to wear a retainer (保持器) for a while.

Lots of people find it difficult to be on time. As the new school year starts, it’s good to brush up on timekeeping skills. Being punctual means being able to arrive somewhere, complete a task or meet someone at an agreed time. Examples i___51___ getting to your classroom before the lesson begins, handing in your homework on time and arriving at a friend’s house when you say you’ll be there. Being late can feel stressful, not only for yourself but for the people around you. It also makes it easy to f___52___ something important. “When I’m late, I feel disorganized and panicky (恐慌的).” says a student called Freddie. “But when I’m on time, I’m more r___53___ because I don’t have to run around looking for things.”Being on time also makes you feel more prepared. Finishing a project early gives you e___54___ time to make improvements. Packing your bags the night before a match or performance allows you to feel calmer and more focused the next day. By being punctual, you’re telling yourself that your time matters, and you’re showing other people that you’re reliable and you r___55___ time, too. Grace Pacie is an author who writes about lateness. She believes there are lots of reasons why people aren’t punctual. Some aren’t good at measuring time; others dislike being early and waiting around. Pacie believes you can learn to be more punctual by arranging to meet a friend on the way to school b___56___ this will make you get out of the door earlier. Or, if you don’t like waiting around, try arriving early but fill your time with something interesting like listening to music or reading a book. It’s not always easy to change timekeeping h___57___. Taking small steps towards becoming more punctual can help you feel calmer and more organized.D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题.(12分. Here to HelpDear Jordan, I learned from the Internet that you are a young activist (活动家). What you did was so inspiring! Now I want to go out and do something to make a change in my community and become an activist myself! So I wonder: What does it take to be an activist? How did you start? Can I become one?Yours,CarolinaDear Carolina, Anyone can become an activist if there’s an issue they feel strongly about. I started speaking up about disabilities because I know what it was like to have one and to be treated differently because of it. When I was little, I wondered why toy figures didn’t look like me. So at the age of ten, I wrote to ask a big company to do something about this problem. I spoke about it on the news, and I even did a TED Talk about it. After more than a year of using my voice, I got to work with a design team on a Barbie doll that uses a prosthetic leg (假肢). That experience showed me that the more I spoke up, the more changes I might be able to make. Sometimes, being an activist means stepping up and speaking up in a more public way than you normally would. Taking risks is a big part of being an activist. Your age doesn’t matter. I know so many kids who are fighting for change. Mari Copeny, 13, is making sure people have safe drinking water. Haven Coleman and Taylor Richardson are both teenagers. Haven is raising awareness of climate change, and Taylor is making sure that girls around the world are involved in STEAM education. If you really care about an issue, learn as much as you can about it and find creative ways to speak up. Maybe it’s writing a letter to the editor of your local paper. Maybe it’s creating a club at your school or in your neighborhood. You can work with other kids to unite your voices so as to be able to make a change. You don’t have to do something as big as creating a new toy or speaking in front of a crowd. If you help even one person learn and change, you’ve made a big difference!Yours, Jordan Reeves58. Carolina wrote a letter to Jordan, didn’t she?__________________________________________________________________59. What did Carolina want to do?__________________________________________________________________60. Why did Jordan Reeves start speaking up about disabilities?__________________________________________________________________61. What did Jordan learn from producing a new toy?__________________________________________________________________62. Why does Jordan list the examples of Mari Copeny, Haven Coleman and Taylor Richardson?__________________________________________________________________63.
