A
As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher would see me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first,” he said. “When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a card folded（折叠的）in half, wrote their names in bold（粗体）with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.”
“I couldn’t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.

A. They raised their hands. B. They lowered their heads.
C. They closed their eyes. D. They shook their heads.
2. Why did Mr Black tell his students a story at the beginning of his language class
A. Because he wanted the students to be active in class.
B. Because he wanted the students to take notes carefully.
C. Because he wanted the students to do homework.
D. Because he wanted the students to be quiet in class.
3. What does the writer mainly want to tell us
A. Making others interested is difficult. B. Answering questions bravely is easy.
C. Showing yourself bravely can win chances. D. Doing as others do is necessary.

On a hot summer day, you find the pond (池塘) has almost dried up. Where did the water go It goes into the air! Each drop of water is made of tiny (极小的) droplets (小水滴). When the sun warms them, they rise and become part of the air. However, do you know how rain is formed (形成)
High in the sky, the air is cooler. As the water in the air cools, it changes back into droplets. They get together to make clouds.
In the clouds, many, many droplets get together and grow bigger. When they are heavy enough, they fall from the sky as raindrops, or-if it’s very cold-snowflakes (雪花)! The water we have on Earth now has been moving and changing forever (永远)!
We’ve seen how the sun heats (加热) the water so it rises, cools, and becomes a cloud. In the cloud, droplets join together to become raindrops, and fall back to the earth. Some rainwater rises again soon, while some joins rivers, lakes, or the ocean. This is called the water cycle (循环).
Rain falls almost everywhere on Earth. One of the world’s rainiest places is Mount Waialeale in Hawaii. It rains about 350 days a year there. One of the driest places on Earth is the Atacama Desert in Chile. It has not rained in some part of this desert in hundreds of years.
1. Where does the water in the pond go in hot summer
A. Into the river. B. Into the lakes. C. Into the air. D. into the earth.
2. If many droplets in the clouds are heavy enough and very cold, they’ll fall from the sky as ________.
A. raindrops B. snowflakes C. pond D. water cycle
3. What do you know about the Mount Waialeale in Hawaii
A. It never rains. B. It is one of the driest places on Earth.
C. It is one of the coldest places in the world. D. It rains about 350 days a year.

A. The importance of water. B. How rain is formed.
C. Where the rainiest place in the world is. D. Where the driest place in the world is.

Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see A vase Or two faces Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time.
“What's happening Is something wrong with my eyes ” You may wonder at what you see. Don't worry. Here is how it goes:

Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I Shrunk The Kids just make use of illusions.

A
As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher would see me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first,” he said. “When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a card folded（折叠的）in half, wrote their names in bold（粗体）with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.”
“I couldn’t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.

On a hot summer day, you find the pond (池塘) has almost dried up. Where did the water go It goes into the air! Each drop of water is made of tiny (极小的) droplets (小水滴). When the sun warms them, they rise and become part of the air. However, do you know how rain is formed (形成)
High in the sky, the air is cooler. As the water in the air cools, it changes back into droplets. They get together to make clouds.
In the clouds, many, many droplets get together and grow bigger. When they are heavy enough, they fall from the sky as raindrops, or-if it’s very cold-snowflakes (雪花)! The water we have on Earth now has been moving and changing forever (永远)!
We’ve seen how the sun heats (加热) the water so it rises, cools, and becomes a cloud. In the cloud, droplets join together to become raindrops, and fall back to the earth. Some rainwater rises again soon, while some joins rivers, lakes, or the ocean. This is called the water cycle (循环).
Rain falls almost everywhere on Earth. One of the world’s rainiest places is Mount Waialeale in Hawaii. It rains about 350 days a year there. One of the driest places on Earth is the Atacama Desert in Chile. It has not rained in some part of this desert in hundreds of years.

A. Into the river. B. Into the lakes. C. Into the air. D. into the earth.

A. It never rains. B. It is one of the driest places on Earth.
C. It is one of the coldest places in the world. D. It rains about 350 days a year.
4. What does the passage mainly tell us

C. Where the rainiest place in the world is. D. Where the driest place in the world is.

Look at the center circles of Diagram（图）A and Diagram B. Which of the centre circles looks larger
Take a first look and you probably think that the centre circle in Diagram A is smaller than that in Diagram B, But in fact, they are exactly the same size.
Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see A vase Or two faces Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time.
“What's happening Is something wrong with my eyes ” You may wonder at what you see. Don't worry. Here is how it goes:
When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret（解读）the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it “visual illusion”（视觉错误）.
Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I Shrunk The Kids just make use of illusions.
1. The centre circle in Diagram A looks smaller than that in Diagram B. That's because _______.
A. something is wrong with our eyes
B. the two circles are not the same size
C. our brains interpret the information in a wrong way
D. the two pictures change quickly from one to the other
2. What's the right order according to the passage
a. We look at things with our eyes. b. Our brains interpret the messages.
c. Our brains tell us what we have seen. d: Our eyes send messages to our brains.
A. a-d-b-c B. c-a-b-d C. a-c-d-b D. b-c-a-d
3. Movie makers make use of visual illusions to _______.
A. help the actors look better B. make the actors much braver
C. help the actors become stronger D. make the actors seem different in size
4. In the following picture, it seems that Line AB is shorter than Line CD, but in fact Line AB is as long as Line CD. Which paragraph can explain what has happened to our eyes
A. The second one. B. The third one. C. The fifth one. D. The sixth one.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D 4. C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了视觉错误这一概念，介绍了我们的眼睛有时也会欺骗我们。
1细节理解题。根据sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way，可知是因为我们的大脑会错误解读接收的信息，故选C。
2篇章结构题。根据文章行文以及When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way可知我们处理信息的顺序是先用眼睛看见事物，然后眼睛传达信息给大脑，然后大脑解读信息，最后大脑告诉我们看见了什么，故选A。
3细节理解题。根据Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are，可知电影制作者用这个是为了让演员的身形大小看起来不同，故选D。
4段落主旨题。根据题干，AB线段与CD线段看起来不一样长，但实际上长度相同，可知该现象是视觉错误的一种，详细解释这种现象的是第五段，原因是大脑错误解读了眼睛看到的信息。故选C。

【答案】例文
Dear Chairperson,
I would like to join CSAPA. My name is Chen Ming. I’m a student from Class1, Grade 8 at Xinhua Middle School. I have a round face and wear glasses. I’m patient and I am willing to help others. My favourite season is Spring because it’s warm and bright. It’s a perfect time to fly a kite. I am crazy about DIY. When I am free, I like to go to Hongze Lake to watch the birds. Besides, I like Biology best and I like going to Suqian Zoo to watch all kinds of animals.
I hope people can take action to protect animals because it’s important to do something to protect them. I also want to learn more about animals.
I will be very happy if I can be a member of CSAPA. I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Chen Ming
