She woke up on Christmas morning and, along with her brother, ran down to see the gifts under the tree.In the living room sat a nice mini bike. For a short moment, Lily was filled with great excitement. She couldn’t imagine anything better than getting that bike. Then, she saw a baby doll sitting on the sofa.Then she knew. She knew that the mini bike belonged to her brother and that doll would be hers. It was always like this. Tommy always got cool things: skateboards, science kits. The mini bike was just the latest cool thing. Lily always got the boring gifts: a set of toy cooking kits, a pair of fairy lady’s feather wings. They were amazing for other girls, but she didn’t like them at all. To Lily, this doll seemed unusually boring again.Tommy had seen that mini-bike in the front window of Moore’s Bike Shop, but hadn’t Lily too? Tommy had asked for the bike and had said it was the only thing he wanted for Christmas. Although Lily had the same thought, she failed to say it, again. She was a shy girl, even in front of her family.Tommy’s eyes grew wide at the bike. He knew it was his—no doll for him. He ran into his parents’ room and jumped up and down on the bed, “Thank you, Dad! Thank you, mum!”At the same time Lily walked into the other room silently. She was disappointed and a bit angry. It took a while for anyone to realize she was missing.“What’s wrong, Lily?” Papa asked gently. “Did you see your pretty doll?” “I saw it,” she said unhappily.“What’s wrong, honey? You won’t believe how long your father waited in line to buy that doll! It was nearly 30 minutes.” Mama said.Silence. Lily’s mouth was fixed. Her face was pale. “Oh, Mama, you know Lily is never excited by presents!” her brother laughed. “Come out and watch me ride!”And so they did.However, Lily made a decision after a while. She needed to speak out what she really thought. Then, she took a deep breath, walked straightly outside…29. Why was Lily unhappy when seeıng the gifts?A. Because she was never excited by gifts.B. Because she liked the bike but it was not hers.C. Because she didn’t know which gift to choose.D. Because she couldn’t get the bike she asked for.30. How did Tommy feel about his gift?A.

Today, people know a lot about the places they visited, but 200 years ago there were no maps of that part of the United States. They would travel by boat most of the way and they would make the first maps of that part. They were going to follow where the Missouri River went. They hoped it would take them to the ocean.To help with the exploration, they took more than 40 people and many supplies in three boats, including a lot of food. Also, they made cruel rules. If people broke them, they would get serious punishments. It was summer when they started on this long trip from St. Louis. They traveled slowly, only a few miles every day, because they had to row their boats on the river. They traveled for months and were still far from the ocean. In winter snow and ice made it very difficult to travel, so they camped along the river and waited for spring.Native Americans helped them along the way. They helped them get food, and showed them where places were and how to survive there, especially in the very cold winter.As they traveled, they made maps. Their maps showed the way the river went. It passed through grasslands, and then they were in mountains. When they got to the mountains, they had to leave their boats and walk.It took more than a year for the explorers to get to the ocean. When they got there, they had made maps that would help many people. But they had to bring the maps back. It had taken more than a year to make this first part of the trip. It also took a long time to get back. When the explorers came back in 1806, some people said they were heroes.Their maps would help people explore and develop the new land. Long after their trip, there would be roads to the west. People would travel quickly by car. Today people can travel their route by plane. But if you look out the window from the plane, you will see those high mountains, and you will see what a difficult journey it was.33. What was the aim of the journey?A. To move to a new land.B. To make a map of the US.C To become famous explorers.D. To discover where a river ran.34. What difficulties did they have in the journey?A. They set off without any preparation.B. They moved slowly because they had a big team.C. Bad weather stopped them from travelling in winter.D. They had to find out the way all by themselves.35. Which map can best show the journey?A. B. C. D. 36. What does the writer mainly want to express in the last paragraph?A. People have made greater progress in the west of America today.B. There are new ways to explore the west of America today.C. The maps of the west of America haven't changed much.D. Lewis and Clark’s journey to the west wasn’t that easy.(D)Writing things out by hand might seem boring and slow. But handwriting can boost connections across brain areas. That includes some areas with roles in learning and memory. The new finding further proves handwriting’s advantages.In the study, scientists watched the brain activity of college students who wrote by hand or typed words. Compared with when they typed, more of the students’ brain areas worked together when students wrote with a pen. The same also showed up in brainwaves that have been connected with forming memories.Before this study, research had shown that handwriting improves spelling and the ability to remember what you’ve learned. Handwriting also helps the understanding of ideas. Scientists think that the slow process of writing down words gives people more time to understand material and learn it.This new study may explain why handwriting seems so good for memory. There is a basic difference in brain organization for handwriting, compared with typing.The team did not test whether the students had remembered the words they wrote or typed. So it’s not yet clear how the increased brain activity influences learning. More study is needed on the differences in brain connections and whether they have a direct relationship with how well people learn.So to write or type? Handwriting may improve learning. But typing is often easier, faster and more practical. So students should decide based on the task, the scientists said. For example, using handwriting to take notes might help you hang on to information, while typing an article could help you get ideas down to the page faster before you forget them.Though more work is needed to find the best way for learning handwriting has shown its value. So it shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age.“Schools need to bring in more writing into learning,” the scientists said. They agree that handwriting should stick around: “Writing is so good for brains.” Even more, without it, young people would lose part of the experience of being human, they added. “It’s important for them to be able to at least write a shopping list or a love letter. We really think that is important for us.”37. What does the underlined word “boost” probably mean?A. To make something interesting.B. To make something quick.C. To make something increase.D. To make something work together.38. What may this study prove?A What ability handwriting improves.B. Whether handwriting helps memory.C. How handwriting improves understanding.D. Why handwriting seems good for memory. 39. For what task may handwriting be better than typing?A. Taking notes to prepare for a test.B. Taking notes of new ideas in a discussion.C. Preparing copies of materials for a meeting.D. Searching for information online for a project.40. What will the scientists probably agree on?A. Students should be required to learn handwriting.B. Handwriting shouldn’t be focused too much as it’s out-dated.C. Handwriting is the best way to memorize materials.D. Being able to write a list or letter is enough for people.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。An activist is someone who takes action to make a change.
