My 10-year-old nephew came for a visit one hot, July weekend. I told him to stay inside by joining him in an online game. After being repeatedly beaten by a more experienced player, I suggested that we relax for a while.
“Look, Aunt Alice,” he said excitedly as he ran over to me. “I found a kite. Could we go outside and fly it ” Glancing out of the window, I noticed there was no wind outside. “I’m sorry, Tripper,” I said. “The wind is not blowing today. The kite won’t fly.”
“I think it’s windy enough, I can get it to fly,” he answered as he hurried out the door. I looked out the window to watch him. Up and down the yard he ran, pulling a small length of string tied to the kite. The plastic kite remained about his shoulder level. He ran back and forth, looking back hopefully at the kite trailing behind. After about ten minutes of unsuccessful efforts, he came back in.
I asked, “How did it go ”
“Fine,” he said, not wanting to admit (承认) failure. “I got it to fly some.” As he walked past me to return the kite to the shelf, I heard him say under his breath, “I guess I’ll have to wait for the wind.”
And it dawned on me how easy it is for us to depend only on our own efforts to complete what we want to do. We wait for the “wind” only after we have used up our own strength. Sometimes, what we need is just a little outside help.
19．Why didn’t the writer advise her nephew to go outside to fly a kite
A．Because she hoped his nephew could stay indoors to relax.
B．Because she was very angry at her loss in an online game.
C．Because it was not cool enough for kids to fly kites outdoors.
D．Because it was not a perfect weather situation for flying a kite.
20．Which of the following examples can be used to support the writer’s opinion
A．Peter came first in the running race after hard training.
B．Nick raised the most money with the help of his neighbors.
C．Lucy won an award for helping an elderly person every day.
D．Mike finally climbed to the top of the mountain along with his friends.
21．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．Coming back. B．Flying kites.
C．Playing an online game. D．Running around the yard.
22．Which of the followings is most likely to be the title of the passage
A．Waiting for the wind. B．Flying a kite freely.
C．An unsuccessful effort. D．Admitting defeat bravely.
C
Leoh Ming Pei, one of the world’s best-known architects（建筑师）, left over 50 designs during his long career. These amazing works stand as his gifts to the world.
The glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France might be Pei’s most famous work. Back in the 1980s, the Louvre Museum was having trouble with traffic. To solve the problem, Pei planned to dig an underground hall and place a glass pyramid on top. Many people didn’t like the idea. They said it was too modern for the classical museum. However, the idea turned out to be a success. It is not only the museum’s main entrance, but also a huge skylight （天窗）.
In 2006, Pei was invited to build a museum in his hometown Suzhou. He tried to include local and historical ideas in his design. He built small halls with traditional white walls and dark roofs, just like the classical Chinese gardens. Moreover, the lines and windows in the roof bring something modern to the museum.
His style may come from his . The famous Lion Grove Garden（狮子林） in Suzhou used to be owned by Pei’s family. Pei spent some summers there as a child. Maybe that was when Pei developed his interest in architecture. Pei spent most of his adult years in the US, first studying at universities and then working in different places. Even though he was trained in the US, the beauty of Chinese Classics was well displayed in many of his designs. “I’ve never left China because home is a place your heart always belongs to,” Pei once said.
Over the last century, many building trends（潮流）have come and gone. But the works of Pei have not. “A lasting architecture has to have roots.” Pei once told The New York Times. That may explain why he and his works have stood the test of time.
23．Which of the following is TRUE about “the glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum”
A．It is too modern for the classical museum.
B．It is more than the entrance to the museum.
C．It was welcomed by French people at the beginning.
D．It was designed to solve the traffic problem in France.
24．What makes Suzhou Museum special
A．It is in Pei’s hometown. B．It has modern white walls.
C．It’s both classical and modern. D．It is built in a beautiful Chinese garden.
25．What might be the most suitable to be put in ________
A．life experiences B．designs in the US
C．interest in architecture D．educational backgrounds
26．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To compare different cultures. B．To show a special building trend.
C．To introduce a great architect. D．To recommend two famous museums.
D
Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured (判定) the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral (道德的) education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships.
Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some form of success. For example, those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs.
Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality is a sense of responsibility which makes them remember that a task has to be completed.
Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement.
27．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Their classmates. B．Some schools. C．Most parents. D．Their children.
28．What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A．Project work makes teenagers nervous. B．Good qualities will lead to a happy life.
C．Teenagers are advised to complete tasks in time. D．Taking responsibility will make work much easier.
29．What is important for making students strong minded
A．Honesty. B．Self-motivation. C．Communication. D．Friends’ trust.
30．What can be the best title for the text
A．The Value of Moral Education B．The Key to Discovering Hidden Ability
C．The Meaning of Success to Teenagers D．The Way to Communicate with Others

Tips for being a good neighbor
31． No one likes a noisy neighbor. Do you hold parties that last all night Do you leave your dog outside to bark all day Keep noise to a minimum(最低限度).
32． It's much easier to solve any problems with neighbors if you have a friendly relationship with them. You may realize that you have things in common with them and make life-long friends.
33． Once you know your neighbors, you'll know if something seems out of place in the neighborhood. Are strange people carrying expensive things out of your neighbor's house Have several days passed since your elderly neighbor last collected his newspaper The benefit of keeping an eye out for unusual behavior in the neighborhood is that others will do the same for you.
34． Offer to drive an elderly neighbor to the grocery store. Offer to collect mail while a neighbor is on vacation. The more often you lend a helping hand, the more likely that your neighbors will do the same for you when you need help.
35． Don't just limit your neighborly actions to your block or street. Remember that everyone who lives in a community has the ability to help make it a better place. Think about your passion and find a way to do it on a voluntary basis in your community.
