I felt homesick and couldn’t study well, which resulted in low marks as well as low self-esteem (自尊心). I didn’t know what to do so I just followed others. One day, all students were called to the school playground. We were asked to meet an education expert for personality development. All of us were waiting for him when we saw a thin man and the headmaster. He looked confident, with a smile on his face. He introduced himself to us and started his work. Most of it was interactive (互动的) lessons with students. Then he said, “Now I need 20 students, who want to take a talent test and consider them to be the best in the world.” We all wanted to attend, so all of us raised our hands in unison. He chose 20 among us and gave them a question paper and said, “There are 10 questions on the paper, and the quickest person to answer it will be the winner! When finishing it, write your name on the paper and give it to me.” When he said “Start”, all the students wrote quickly. Between their funny actions and our loud laughter, somehow the competition was over. At last, he told us the name of the winner ... NOBODY. We all were surprised, and silence fell upon us. He said between the first instruction and the first question, there was another line which said, “Read all the questions carefully and answer ONLY THE 10TH QUESTION.” Needless to say, all the students felt embarrassed. After a few minutes, he spoke at last and told us to keep careful and have creativity in life. He got all our attention.

She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children’s book series. She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole’s passion (激情) came mostly from one of her elementary school teachers. Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967. After graduation Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Finally, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club. Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 1971, she decided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first. Cole became successful when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success. Cole continued to write both non-fiction and fiction books for children. She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are interested in her books.33. Who greatly influenced Joanna Cole’s passion for writing?A. Her parents.B. One of her college teachers.C. One of her classmates.D. One of her elementary school teachers.34. What do we know about Joanna Cole?A She is an expert at getting science across to readers.B.

She got a a bachelor’s degree in psychology.A. d→e→c→b→aB. c→d→e→a→bC. d→e→b→c→aD. c→a→b→e→d(D)Do you ever wonder why trees begin to bud (发芽、开花）earlier in some cities? Scientists finally found the answer but it’s not very pleasant. New science suggests a relationship between light pollution and the timing when trees produce buds, which signals the arrival of the spring season. Light pollution is defined by the Lighting Research Center as the harmful effect of outdoor lighting such as streetlights. Too much light at night destroys natural cycles and makes it hard to see stars and planets . It harms the environment more than we realize . By studying some trees, Researchers found out that trees lit by man-made lights at night start to bud about 7. 5 days earlier than trees in natural darkness. And they found out that light had a more important effect than temperature when the buds came out. The early budding may cause problems for insects, which feed on leaves, and the birds which then feed on them in turn. Professor Richard French Constant, who helped lead the research, explained that more than the budding of trees, the study implies the danger to the balance of the environment. “At the moment, caterpillars (毛毛虫) are born at just the right time to eat the new leaves that trees grow, and birds are born at the right time to eat these young caterpillars. But, when man-made lights make trees grow leaves earlier, it can mess up this natural timing and cause problems for both the caterpillars and the birds. ” he said. Migratory birds (候鸟) are also negatively affected by light pollution The glare might confuse them and make them lose their flying sense. The situation might explain why some birds accidentally knock into buildings. We need to do more research on how light pollution affects nature. If the problem was left to continue it is believed that by 2100, spring would begin almost a full month earlier than it does today.37. What will happen if there is too much man-made light?A. People’s eyesight will be damaged.B. The environment will likely lose its balance.C. No stars or planets may be observed at night.D. Animals ’ living habits may change suddenly.38. How does the early budding affect insects or plants according to the passage?A. It will cause the rising number of insects.B. It could lead to trees growing fewer leaves.C. It might push insects to hatch more slowly.D. It may lead to some insects going hungry.39. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. The effect of light pollution is harmful.B. The spring of 2100 will become much longer.C. Light pollution should be taken seriously.D. A further study on light pollution is scheduled.40. The author writes the passage mainly to explain ________.A. why spring comes earlier in some citiesB. why light pollution needs to be studiedC. how trees ’ early budding takes placeD. how much light is “too much”四、阅读填空（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分, 满分 5 分）选择恰当的句子填入文中空白处，请将答案填写在答题卡上What should I eat for breakfast?
