In a list of child prodigies(神童), Judit Polgár is an interesting example. Her father, László, an educational psychologist, believed that prodigies were not born with high intelligence quotient (IQ). It was the result of proper training. He said that any child could be remarkable at an early age if given the right schooling and he even wrote a book called Raise a Genius!
László's ideas might sound strange and unusual at the time, but when all three of László's daughters turned out to be chess prodigies, nobody laughed at him. Judit and her sisters were taught at home as part of an educational experiment by their father László. Besides studying languages, they learned to play chess. By the time she was five, Judit could beat her father at chess. Raised in an environment of continuing chess practice, the Polgár sisters became better and better at chess competitions.
At that time, it was widely believed that men were much more excellent chess players than women. However, László's daughters changed the opinion. The eldest daughter, Susan, became the top woman player in the world at age 15. In January 1991, she was the first woman ever to get a grandmaster rank(大师级别) on the same level as men players.
But she was soon beaten by the youngest Polgár sister, Judit. In December 1991, the 15-year-old Judit became the youngest player ever to get the rank of grandmaster, breaking the record set by Bobby Fischer in 1958. During her career, Judit avoided women's-only events. Instead, she focused on playing against the best men players in the world, often with great success. In 2005, she reached eighth in the competition of the top players in chess, becoming the only woman ever to reach the top ten. "I played against men because it was challenging and interesting, and I felt I could improve the fastest and the best against them. It's very important to know what your goals and dreams are," said Judit.
29．The underlined word "remarkable" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by "____".
A．strange B．excellent C．pleasant D．faithful
30．How did László deal with his daughters' education
A．He asked excellent teachers to teach them.

A．They were not as good as men players.
B．They were much better than men players.
C．They were not allowed to play against men players.
D．They often broke the records set by men players.
32．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Judit's dream was to beat her sister Susan in the chess competition.

C．Judit played against Bobby Fischer and won the competition.

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(太阳能电池板) to the project because, she explained, clean energy would be helpful to a really modern school.
The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $ 25,000—one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work raising the rest. 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 the neighbourhood thousands of dollars. "My favourite 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 presented to you, you can use it as a chance to learn from it."
33．After knowing the project was still in need of money, what did Claire do
A．She raised $ 25,000. B．She asked for more help.
C．She sold old newspapers. D．She donated half the cost.

Yang Hongwei, born in 1966, is an inheritor (传承人) of the Weifang kite-making technique (技艺). Born into a kite-making family, Yang often saw kites with bright colours and different shapes in her grandfather's workshop.
Yang learned the technique from her grandfather at the age of 16. After practising the technique for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992.
"Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites," Yang said. "But I think the cultural background behind our kites is unique."
On Yang's kites, people can see not only common designs like butterflies and birds, but also some prints telling Chinese myths and history. For example, she once made a kite showing a phoenix (凤凰) that was lined with portraits (肖像) of 50 famous women from Chinese history on each side.
Yang said that each woman is different in look, clothes and make-up style. To create their portraits, she made lots of effort to check historical records and talk about details with professionals.
"It took me a lot of time," Yang said, "but when I explain the stories of the kites to foreign people, I feel a great sense of achievement."
In her free time, she travels to different countries including Germany, Australia, the United States and New Zealand to tell people stories of Chinese kites and the traditional ways they are made. "It is an important job of mine to spread our heritage (遗产) around the world and onto the next generation," she said.

In a list of child prodigies(神童), Judit Polgár is an interesting example. Her father, László, an educational psychologist, believed that prodigies were not born with high intelligence quotient (IQ). It was the result of proper training. He said that any child could be remarkable at an early age if given the right schooling and he even wrote a book called Raise a Genius!
László's ideas might sound strange and unusual at the time, but when all three of László's daughters turned out to be chess prodigies, nobody laughed at him. Judit and her sisters were taught at home as part of an educational experiment by their father László. Besides studying languages, they learned to play chess. By the time she was five, Judit could beat her father at chess. Raised in an environment of continuing chess practice, the Polgár sisters became better and better at chess competitions.
At that time, it was widely believed that men were much more excellent chess players than women. However, László's daughters changed the opinion. The eldest daughter, Susan, became the top woman player in the world at age 15. In January 1991, she was the first woman ever to get a grandmaster rank(大师级别) on the same level as men players.
But she was soon beaten by the youngest Polgár sister, Judit. In December 1991, the 15-year-old Judit became the youngest player ever to get the rank of grandmaster, breaking the record set by Bobby Fischer in 1958. During her career, Judit avoided women's-only events. Instead, she focused on playing against the best men players in the world, often with great success. In 2005, she reached eighth in the competition of the top players in chess, becoming the only woman ever to reach the top ten. "I played against men because it was challenging and interesting, and I felt I could improve the fastest and the best against them. It's very important to know what your goals and dreams are," said Judit.
29．The underlined word "remarkable" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by "____".
A．strange B．excellent C．pleasant D．faithful
30．How did László deal with his daughters' education
A．He asked excellent teachers to teach them.
B．He sent them to school to learn to play chess.
C．He taught them languages and chess at home.
D．He did a lot of experiments together with them.
31．What did most people think of women chess players at that time
A．They were not as good as men players.
B．They were much better than men players.
C．They were not allowed to play against men players.
D．They often broke the records set by men players.
32．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Judit's dream was to beat her sister Susan in the chess competition.
B．Judit thought women's-only events were challenging and interesting.
C．Judit played against Bobby Fischer and won the competition.
D．Judit improved herself by playing chess against men players.

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(太阳能电池板) to the project because, she explained, clean energy would be helpful to a really modern school.
The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $ 25,000—one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work raising the rest. 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 the neighbourhood thousands of dollars. "My favourite 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 presented to you, you can use it as a chance to learn from it."
33．After knowing the project was still in need of money, what did Claire do
A．She raised $ 25,000. B．She asked for more help.
C．She sold old newspapers. D．She donated half the cost.
34．What does the underlined word "them" in the second paragraph refer to
A．Solar panels. B．Second-hand books.
C．Shows. D．Donations.
35．From Claire's words in the last paragraph, what can we learn
A．Hard work was her favourite.
B．The project went smoothly.
C．A small thing makes a big difference.
D．Solar panels cost a lot.
36．What would be the best title for the text
A．dependent girl B．A modern school

Yang Hongwei, born in 1966, is an inheritor (传承人) of the Weifang kite-making technique (技艺). Born into a kite-making family, Yang often saw kites with bright colours and different shapes in her grandfather's workshop.
Yang learned the technique from her grandfather at the age of 16. After practising the technique for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992.
"Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites," Yang said. "But I think the cultural background behind our kites is unique."
On Yang's kites, people can see not only common designs like butterflies and birds, but also some prints telling Chinese myths and history. For example, she once made a kite showing a phoenix (凤凰) that was lined with portraits (肖像) of 50 famous women from Chinese history on each side.
Yang said that each woman is different in look, clothes and make-up style. To create their portraits, she made lots of effort to check historical records and talk about details with professionals.
"It took me a lot of time," Yang said, "but when I explain the stories of the kites to foreign people, I feel a great sense of achievement."
In her free time, she travels to different countries including Germany, Australia, the United States and New Zealand to tell people stories of Chinese kites and the traditional ways they are made. "It is an important job of mine to spread our heritage (遗产) around the world and onto the next generation," she said.
37．How old was Yang Hongwei when she began her own shop
A．10. B．16. C．26. D．57.
38．What's the meaning of the underlined word "unique" in Paragraph 3
A．The same. B．Special. C．Usual. D．Common.

A．The only inheritor of traditional skills.
B．The importance of Chinese tradition.
