When Claire Vlases of Montana was in Grade 7, she learned about plans to modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school board(董事会) to add solar panels(太阳电池板) to the project because, she believed, clean energy would be helpful to a really modern school.
The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $25,000. It was only one-fifth of the cost of the solar panels. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups to try to get the rest(剩余部分). They sold their second-hand books, put on talent shows and asked for donations(捐赠), even going door-to-door for them. One donated more than half the cost! After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now provide one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs—saving thousands of dollars for the neighborhood.
“My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big influence on the community,” Claire said. “There are always going to be hard parts. When there’s a challenge in front of you, you can learn from it and use it as chance to overcome it.”
29．How much money did the solar panels cost
A．$25,000 B．$100,000 C．$125,000 D．$5,000
30．Which picture shows the change of the electricity cost after the use of solar panels

b. The board agreed but there was not enough money for adding solar panels.
c. Claire and her group paid for the solar panels.
d. Claire asked the school board to add solar panels to help the school save energy.

When I was in Grade 8, I had a heated argument（争吵）with my classmate, Tony. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.
I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what color the object was. “White,” Tony answered. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!” Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what color the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides—from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say ” The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking.
33．What did the teacher do at first
A．She shouted at the boys. B．She called the boys’ parents.
C．She walked out of the classroom. D．She brought the boys to her desk.
34．How did the writer feel when Tony answered “white” in paragraph 2
A．Surprised. B．Pleased. C．Afraid. D．Thankful.
35．Why did the writer give two different answers
A．Because he was unfriendly to Tony. B．Because he changed his place with Tony.
C．Because he wanted to have another argument. D．Because he turned around the object.
36．What would the writer probably do after this lesson
A．He would forget the arguments. B．He would sit in the front of the class.
C．He might shake hands with Tony. D．He might listen to the teacher carelessly.

Anna Du was walking along the beach when she noticed plastics (塑料) there. She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized a problem: there are many more small pieces than she could deal with. It seems impossible to clean them all up.
Du, 12 years old at that time, tried to solve the problem like a good scientist — first, by doing a little research. That’s how she learned that eight million tons of plastics end up in the oceans every year. Then she got to build something that could help solve the problem: a remote-operated vehicle (遥控潜水器) , or ROV. Her ROV could move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.
The cool part of Du’s invention is its detection system. She uses a camera along with three different kinds of light to find the plastics. She also uses visible light to find unnatural colors that make the plastic stand out.
“She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this, and then go after it, ” says engineer Carsey Machado, “It sounds simple, but it’s a level of thinking that’s really amazing. ”
Du started attending public events and workshops at a university when she was five years old. That was how she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV to move through water well was not easy. She failed many times, but she never gave up trying and testing.
When asked about her future plans, she mentioned wanting to address the effects of climate (气候) change. “I think there are a lot of problems that could be solved with new inventions, ” says Du.
Du thanks her parents who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) . She says she has been able to meet students and scientists there. “I know I want to be an engineer because I like building things to help solve big world problems. ” says Du, “but I’m not sure what kind of engineer I want to be yet. ”
37．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph One refer to
A．To notice plastics on the beach. B．To reach down.
C．To quickly realize. D．To clean up plastics.
38．What can Du’s ROV do
A．It can solve problems like any good scientist.
B．It can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.
C．It can help people develop a good engineering sense.
D．It can break down plastics.
39．How did Du get her ROV to move through water successfully
A．By looking up information online. B．By failing and trying again and again.
C．By asking her parents for help. D．By attending workshops at a university.
40．Which of the following is NOT the reason that made Du succeed in building her ROV
A．Her good engineering sense. B．Her persistence (not giving up) .
C．Her parents’ support. D．Help from some engineers.

English was not my favorite subject at first. 41 When my teacher let me learn English, I just smiled and then ran away. I thought English was not important.
When I was in middle school, my English was really poor. I just knew the word “rain”. 42 When he did not come for a class, he would always say, “Sorry, I could not come for the class because it was raining cats and dogs.” There used to be only 1-2 English classes a week, and that made English difficult for me to learn. 43 However, things turned out to be not easy. 44 Even worse, my problem in English continued until I was in high school. My English teacher was kind and he tried hard to make me learn but I could not. 45 He taught me different ways to learn English and they were really great. I got good grades finally.

【分析】本文讲述了Claire为建立真正现代化的学校，要求学校董事会在项目中增加太阳能电池板，但是董事会提供的资金远远不够，Claire组织活动筹集剩下的资金，最终太阳能电池板节省了很多电费。
29．推理判断题。根据“The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $25,000. It was only one-fifth of the cost of the solar panels. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups to try to get the rest(剩余部分).”可知25000美元仅仅是太阳能电池板成本的五分之一，所以太阳能电池板成本为25000×5=125000美元，故选C。
30．推理判断题。根据“which now provide one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs—saving thousands of dollars for the neighborhood.”可知太阳能电池板现在提供了学校四分之一的电力需求，为社区节省了数千美元，也就是说安装了太阳能电池板以后，费用在逐步降低，结合图示可知C项正确。故选C。
31．细节理解题。根据第一段“ Claire asked the school board(董事会) to add solar panels(太阳电池板) to the project because, she believed, clean energy would be helpful to a really modern school.”，第二段“The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $25,000. It was only one-fifth of the cost of the solar panels”，第二段“So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups to try to get the rest(剩余部分).”及第二段“After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now provide one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs—saving thousands of dollars for the neighborhood.”可知，正确的顺序是：Claire建议增加太阳能板来帮助学校节约能源——董事会同意了，但没有足够的资金来增加太阳能电池板——Claire组织人们筹集资金——Claire和她的团队得到了足够的捐款来购买太阳能电池板，故选D。
32．最佳标题题。根据全文内容可知，Claire为了帮助学校安装太阳能电池板，自己组织了一群孩子和成年人，他们坚持不懈，永不放弃，经过两年的艰苦努力以后，太能能电池板成功安装，并为学校和社区节省了大量的资金，所以文章最佳标题为“Never Give Up永不放弃”。故选D。
33．D 34．A 35．B 36．C
【分析】本文主要讲述了作者在8年级时跟同学产生了一次激烈的争吵，老师让作者和另外一位同学明白，要学会站在对方的角度去考虑问题。
33．细节理解题。根据“She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other”可知老师先把这两位男孩带到桌子前，故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据“ ‘White,’ Tony answered. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! ‘Clearly, it was black!’ ”可知作者看到的是黑色，而Tony回答是白色，所以Tony的回答让作者感到惊讶，故选A。
35．细节理解题。根据“It was an object with two differently colored sides—from his side it was white, while from my side it was black.”可知因为作者再次站在不同的方向时，看到这个物体是另一个颜色，所以给出了两个不同的答案，故选B。
36．推理判断题。根据“The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since.”可知自从那以后作者和Tony成为了好朋友，由此可推断经过这个事情他们会握手言和，故选C。
37．D 38．B 39．B 40．D
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Anna Du设计并制作成可以在水中移动，并在海底找到塑料的机器。
37．词句猜测题。根据“She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized a problem: there are many more small pieces than she could deal with. It seems impossible to clean them all up.”可知，她伸手把它们捡起来，很快意识到一个问题：小碎片太多了，她无法处理。要把它们全部清理干净似乎是不可能的，进一步推知it承前指的是“清理塑料”这件事；而在“It seems impossible to clean them all up.”中，“it”是形式主语，真正的主语应是动词不定式“to clean them all up”，所以推知“it”代指“clean them all up”即清理完塑料。故选D。

Dear Dad and Mom,
How are you going I’m writing to tell you my life here. I have reading classes twice a week. And I can go online once a week. I made a good friend called Mike. He is more outgoing and reads more books than me, but I am better at playing tennis than him. Last Saturday, I went to Xishan Mountain with my classmates. It was very beautiful. Last Sunday, I went to Chang’an Park. We had a good time. Next month, I will take part in a talent show. I plan to play the violin.
I enjoy studying here. Miss you and love you.
Yours,
Tony
