In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched (蚀刻) deep within the lines around his eyes. Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her school. We were new to the neighborhood so I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm (热情). But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” Later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi, Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t answer. But then she ran onto his front garden and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he made a reply. In a soft gentle voice, he thanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greetings each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But, the sweetest day was when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift—a book on recognizing various plants and trees. There, collected in the pages that described an oak tree, was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr. Man when they met. He had dried and pressed it and kept it all these years.26. What puzzled the girl?A. The cause of the man’s sadness.B. The shadows in the man’s eyes.C. The man’s sitting still on the steps.D. The man’s not answering her greeting.27. The underlined word “faded” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.A. continuedB. improvedC. increasedD. disappeared28. How did the writer feel when her daughter gave the red leaf to the man?A. She was nervous about what would go on.B. She was proud of her daughter.C. She felt happy to see the changes of the man.D. She felt it strange to do so.29. Why did Bob keep that little red leaf?A. It was a reminder of his painful days.B. It stood for the girl’s coldness.C. It was care and kindness from the girl.D. It showed his rich knowledge of trees.(B)Cultures across the world have different ways for people to greet one another. In New Zealand, they bump noses! The goal of these actions is to make others feel welcome. However, some people would rather say hello orally. They don’t like being touched. Neither does the sensitive plant. Some people keep the sensitive plant as a houseplant because of its interesting behavior. When you touch the leaves of the sensitive plant, it releases (释放) water from its leaves and stalks. As water runs to the plant’s base, the leaves close and the stalks droop. This causes the plant to look wilted (枯萎)！The sensitive plant draws back from physical contact because it doesn’t want you to touch it, of course! Just like people, this plant sends physical signals that you should leave it alone. This reaction to touch is a defense system. Many animals and insects eat plants, so the sensitive plant learned to move to scare away predators (捕食者). Frightened by the sudden wilting, hungry animals move away to find a different plant to cat. Additionally, wilted plants don’t look mouth-watering. This encourages other nearby predators to look for their dinner elsewhere.If you touch the sensitive plant and it wilts, have no fear! It’s still a healthy plant. After a few minutes, it will send water back to its leaves and stand straight up again. However, it takes lots of time for the sensitive plant to refresh itself. Don’t touch the plant just to watch it wilt. It may seem like fun, but it’s not fun for its refreshment.It’s always important to pay attention to the body language of plants, animals, and other people! We should never want to make other living things uncomfortable, and especially not for our own entertainment.30. What’s the main purpose of writing paragraph 1?A. To introduce the cultures across the world.B. To list the actions that can make others feel welcome.C. To compare different ways for people to greet one another.D. To lead readers to make a connection between people and the plant.31 We can infer that the sensitive plant may be also called _________.A forget-me-notB. touch-me-notC. rose of sharonD. daughter of wind32. The sensitive plant’s interesting behavior is actually a way to _________.A. protect itselfB. entertain itselfC. attract animalsD. kill animals33. In the writer’s view, _________.A. watching the sensitive plant wilt is funB. we should treat other living things kindlyC body language doesn’t help us know each other betterD. it’s a good idea to keep the sensitive plant as a houseplant(C)Chicken eggs are just thin shells (壳) made of mineral (矿物), but you may be surprised how strong they are.What you need*Four eggs *A bowl *A pen*Scissors or a knife *A piece of paper *Some booksWhat to do① Use the scissors or knife to break a hole in the small end of each egg. Empty out what’s inside into the bowl. Wash and dry the shells.② Draw a fine line around the widest part of each egg. Break away the shell between the line and the hole slowly.③ put shells in a square at the four comers of the piece of paper, with the round end of the egg on top.④ Place books gently onto the four egg shells one after another, and see how many books you can add before the egg shells break down! What happenedThe strength of an eggshell lies in its shape. It’s like a 3D arch (拱形) or dome, which is one of the strongest shapes. The shape of the eggshell spreads pressure all over the whole egg rather than at one point. In fact, the shape of the egg hell is seen in many types of architecture, including doorways and large windows. The strong walls of the shell will support the weak point. At right conditions, the thin eggshell can even hold up 20kg weight!34. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. show that eggshells are strongB. learn how to break eggshellsC. find out different kinds of eggshellsD. test what eggshells are made of35. Picture ________ is the right way to practice Step 3.A. B. C. D. 36. From the passage, we know that the eggshell is strong because ________.A. the material of eggshell is specialB. it puts the pressure at one pointC. it spreads pressure to the whole eggD. the weak point supports the strong ones(D)Being a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. You’re becoming more independent and making decisions for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain.The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult. Imagine the structure（结构）of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations（目的地）. When you were a child, as you learnt new things, your brain created more and more roads to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, many different roads lead to the most important places on the map. Now your brain's job is to make that map more efficient.As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video-game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot.This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you're good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick to them if you think they’re useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future.37. What happens as children learn new things?A. Their brains make the maps more efficient.B. The structures of their brains are like big road maps.C. Their brains create more roads to different destinations.D. Many different roads lead to the most important places.38. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A Your brain.B. Something you see.C. Your skill.D. Something you learn.39. What’s the writer’s advice for teenagers?A. Teenagers should learn to be more independent.B. Teenagers should work harder and more efficiently.C. Teenagers should play more video games in order to be a pilot.D. Teenagers should experience more and stick to the useful activities.40. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Making Decisions for Yourself.B. Developing Your Brain for the Future.C. Ways of Changing Your Brain.D. Changes Happening in Your Brain.第二节 阅读填空(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入41~45各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。The Winter Olympics are a major international sports event that occurs every four years.
