Dash of Hope

“D ash” is a symbol which represents every day we’ve spent alive on earth. Therefore, how you spend your “dash” is important.

Recently I 36 about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life, I couldn’t help but feel it was not by 37 , nor happenstance, that she had been named “Hope”. The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity 38 in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others. 39 I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had. It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special.

Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was 40 a “wish” in early December 2010 by the “Make-A-Wi sh” Foundation after being 41 that she had a rare type of bone cancer. However, when she found out that more than 150 42 in her area were waiting for their wishes to be granted (实现), she unselfishly used her wish to 43 that those children have their wishes granted. She also asked that it be done 44 January 16, 2011. Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her 45 request could not be granted as the funds (资金) were simply 46 . They calculated that they would need to raise more than one 47 dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish. 48 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring 49 to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually 50 as well. Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51 the story of this caring young girl who had 52 the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged. Committees were formed and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in 53 money to help make Hope’s dream come true.

Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only 54 , but spiritually and emotionally as well. At the gathering to celebrate her life, “A Celebration of Hope” on January

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

A motivational strategy that parents can employ with their kids, is to frame tasks and responsibilities in the context of what the end benefit is for them. I call this strategy WIIFM (“What’s in it for me?”).

When a teen can combine an understanding of WIIFM with a sense of passion about achieving a goal, barriers will start to fall away. At our teen summer camps, we arrange an event near the end of the 10-day session that helps campers identify an important life goal and mentally break through their biggest barrier to achieving the goal.

We pass around 12-by-12-inch pine boards. We tell campers that this activity is not about

英语第5页（共12页）

breaking a piece of wood. It’s about how you can get what you want in your life. It’s about breaking barriers to grab on to your goals.

They have the power to break through any barrier. It has nothing to do with body size or physical condition. The skinniest, smallest teens will break through the board almost as easily as the big ones.

We talk to the campers about the reasons they might have had for not reaching their goals in the past. Maybe they got lazy and decided it wasn’t worth the effort. Maybe they failed and let their fear of failure hold them back. But this exercise is about putting the past where it belongs. Today is about making new choices.

By this point in the program, we ask them to think of the goal they’ve set for themselves and write their goals on the boards. Then they write the possible obstacles which may hold them back on the opposite sides. An inch of pine now stands between them and their dreams.

The facilitators and their teammates gather around. The support is strong. One by one, they break through the barriers and grab their goals! All around us teens are laughing, crying, hugging, and holding up the broken pieces of their boards. The confidence shown on their faces is beautiful.

While arranging such an activity in one’s home is almost unrealistic for parents, the value of helping a teen break through a personal barrier simply by being there as moral support can not be overestimated. More help for parents in the form of videos and articles is available at our website, in our blogs and in a monthly e-newsletter.

56. The 12-by-12-inch pine boards are used as _________________.

A. materials to test one’s muscles

B. signs of goals in one’s life

C. assessments to show one’s progress

D. symbols of barriers in one’s life

57. We can learn from the passage that through the event the campers _________.

A. become hard-working

B. get moral support

C. gain confidence

D. set right goals

58. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. The Power of WIIFM

B. What’s in It for Me

C. The Importance of Goals

D. Motivational Strategies

59. The passage is intended for _____________.

A.teens

B. parents

C. campers

D. tutors

B

Service Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complaints. Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips.

According to a representative of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard, low quality meats. As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much. The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable

英语第6页（共12页）

strange flavor. According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats. Kids may not have the words to describe why they don’t like the meats, but they’re certainly willing to express their displeasure. By serving meats from Service Foods, complaints can be reduced. Service Foods meats are all natural and organic, meaning the meats have no chemicals or water or colorings that could change the taste. And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they won’t taste strange to your children.

If you’re facing different types of complaints, Service Foods may still be able to help you. Some families have mealtime boredom. The same meals, served in the same way, week after week, can be incredibly boring and hard to look forward to. When it comes to these complaints, Service Foods has the answer right on the web. Just go to https://www.sodocs.net/doc/1b1816276.html, and you’ll find a long list of recipes to try. Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format, so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals. By following these recipes from Service Foods, complaints relating to boredom can certainly be reduced.

While Service Foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totally eradicated, as picky kids will always be picky kids with concerns, the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need.

60. Service Foods can solve mealtime boredom by ___________.

A. serving flash-frozen meat

B. expressing children’s complaints

C. instructing different ways of cooking

D. supplying natural food without chemicals

61. The underlined word “eradicated” in the last paragraph can be replaced with __________.

A. covered

B. removed

C. reduced

D. accepted

62. From the passage we can learn that Service Foods can do the following EXCEPT ___________.

A. cook food for picky kids

B. teach how to prepare meals

C. provide natural and organic meat

D. help reduce complaints about foods

63. What will the readers probably do after reading the passage?

A. Pay for Service Foods service.

B. Buy organic meat from now on.

C. Write recipes for Service Foods

D. Answer complaints on the web.

C

To whom it may concern,

This letter describes the worst travel experience I have ever had. The problems we had were the result of poor management and thoughtless employees. Your airline should be ashamed of treating its customers so poorly.

英语第7页（共12页）

On January 5, we arrived in Denver from Houston and checked in for our next flight. It wasn’t long before the agent announced that our flight would be delayed because of a mechanical problem. The equipment was in Aspen, and they expected it to be repaired soon.

Soon shortly turned to much later, and during the delay, weather temporarily closed the Aspen airport. The weather cleared in Aspen and the plane took off very late for Denver. While it was in the air, the agent announced that the plane would be used for the next flight and that our flight was being cancelled.

This cancellation struck me as being unfair. There was a mad scramble(争先恐后) as the 50 or so passengers scheduled for our flight fought for seats on later flights. When the dust settled, we were wait-listed on the 9:00 flight the next morning. We had to spend the night in the airport.

Coming home was no better. Because of a mechanical problem, it looked like we would miss our connection in Denver. The agent assured us they would hold the Newark flight for us. Needless to say, the flight to Houston taxied out as we pulled into the gate. Arrangements were made for us to take the next flight, so we sat in the airport for 5 hours. When we finally arrived in Houston, our skis were missing. As of this writing, the skis have not been found.

Nothing you can do will make us feel better about our flights. If you are a responsible business, however, you will do what you can to see that passengers in the future are treated better.

With great displeasure,

Phyllis Dooley

64. When Phyllis wrote her letter, she felt ______.

A. tired

B. fooled

C. annoyed

D. ashamed

65. What was Phyllis’ destination when she left home on January 5?

A. Denver.

B. Houston.

C. Aspen.

D. Not mentioned.

66. What happened to Phyllis on her day coming home?

A. She took a taxi to Houston airport.

B. Her flight to Houston was cancelled.

C. Her flight was delayed for five hours.

D. She missed her connection in Denver.

It is football time again. Currently, the qualifying rounds are being played to decide which countries will send teams to the next World Cup. Some Soccer is becoming more and more popular on a worldwide scale and these qualifying legs are causing much excitement.

The game is popular at club level as well. Many fans go every week to support their teams, whether the event is a home or away one, hoping to get a result. They all hope an attacking game, with a lot of goals being scored. Obviously, they do not want to see a boring, defensive match where the players are aimlessly passing the ball to each other.

英语第8页（共12页）

Sadly, not all the action always takes place on the ground. All too frequently, there is action in the stands, too. Football supporters, most of whom declare their loyalty by wearing their team colors, in the form of shirts, are not known for their quiet behavior. They are often very noisy, shouting noisy encouragement to their team and singing deafening songs.

There is much rivalry between supporters. Mostly, this is good-natured, but trouble can easily arise. Fans get angry if they feel that a referee has made a wrong decision, perhaps giving one of their team a red or yellow card unfairly, or perhaps failing to notice a foul committed by a member of the other team.

When trouble breaks out in a football crowd, it can be difficult to control. Stadium officials often seat the opposing fans in separate parts of the ground as a precaution against fighting. However, preventing trouble is more difficult outside the ground. In the worst cases, riot (暴乱) police have to be called in.

Unfortunately, there are some fans who enjoy this violent aspect of football. These football hooligans(流氓) really enjoy a running battle with the police, and call up other people to throw stones and bottles at them. They regard football not only as a sport, but as an excuse for trouble makings. Inevitably, their behavior spoils the reputation of the game.

67. The qualifying rounds are played to_____.

A. make the game more exciting

B. attract soccer fans at club level

C. raise funds for the organization

D. select the teams for the next rounds

68. What do football fans hope to see?

A. A home game.

B. A defensive game.

C. An exciting game.

D. An evenly matched game.

69. Riot police are called in_____.

A. to stop fighting occurring outside the ground

B. to separate the opposing fans inside the ground

C. as a precaution against trouble inside the ground

D. as a precaution against fighting outside the ground

70. It is implied in the last paragraph that_____.

A. football has a poor reputation

B. football hooligans are crazy about the games

C. football fans enjoy spoiling games

D. football can be an excuse for troublemaking

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项

为多余选项。

Leap Year

Leap year is a year that has 366 days instead of the usual 365. It normally occurs every four years, always on an even-numbered year. The extra day is added to our shortest month. That is the second month of the year, which in non-leap years has 28 days, two fewer than any other month.

71

Leap year is also called the bissextile year. 72 In our calendar system there is a need for a leap year because the solar year (the time it takes the earth to go around the sun once) is actually slightly more than 365 days long. That extra day—Feb. 29 every four years—helps correct the difference between our calendar and the solar calendar.

Leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient Roman leader Julius Caesar. His astronomers had calculated the length of the solar year to be 365 days and six hours. So Caesar declared that an extra day be added to the calendar. 73

Caesar’s adjustment, however, was not entirely accurate because his astronomers’ year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds. By 1582, a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year. To correct this error, Pope Gregory XIII ruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for century years that could not be divided evenly by 400. By this system, century years such as 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but the year 2000 was a leap year. 74

Persons born on Feb. 29 celebrate their growing up a little differently from the rest of us.

75 But if they go strictly by the calendar, they have only one-fourth as many birthday celebrations as most people.

A. This is done every four years.

B. This is its formal, or scientific title.

C. This may seem complicated, but it works.

D. They acknowledge that they get older each year.

E. The leap year was introduced in the Julian calendar in 46 BC.

F. When you see Feb. 29 on a calendar, you know that year is a leap year.

G. In a leap year, the extra day is added to the second month, giving it 29 instead of the usual 28

days.

2020年秋季小学期中考试总结

( 工作总结 ) 单位：_________________________ 姓名：_________________________ 日期：_________________________ 精品文档 / Word文档 / 文字可改 2020年秋季小学期中考试总结Summary of mid term examination in autumn 2020

2020年秋季小学期中考试总结 这个星期，我们学校准备了一次期中考试，我以为自己考得很好，可是，当昨天语文试卷发下来的时候，我完全惊呆了，卷面上写着鲜红的74分。这是我的试卷吗?不可能呀，我不可能只考了这么几分。我怎么会考得这么差?是我没有认真复习?我在心里一遍又一遍地问自己。我越想越难过，几乎都要哭出来了。 今天，在我去订正试卷的时候，语文老师对我说：“有两门课的成绩我不知道，但是，我知道的两门你都考得很差。”我听了，心里更加难过了。我心想：语文老师说我有两门课考得很差，一门是语文，成绩我已经知道了，但是，还有是哪一门课呀?是英语吗?不可能，我记得英语老师说过，老师还没有把试卷改好。是数学还是科学?就这样，一个中午就在一片忧虑中度过了。

下午第一节课就是科学课了，我很紧张，真害怕听到自己的成绩。老师进来了，老师每报一个人的名字，那个人就得站起来。轮到我的时候，我的心紧张到了极点，当老说：“考得还可以，九十五分不到。”我听了，顿时松了一口气，可马上又为自己的数学成绩开始担心了。从科学老师那里拿过试卷，我考了九十四分，我发现自己错了好多不应该错的地方，本来可以考九十五分以上的试卷，我却被白白地扣掉了六分，真不应该。 接下来就是数学课了，数学老师说：“我们班的班长考了九十九分，数学课代表考了九十八分，还有四位同学是九十分以上的，其它大部分同学都是在七十分到八十分中间。”数学老师这样一说，我心里就有底了，我已经知道我的大致分数。“李莉，87分。”这个分数比我猜测的要好一点，不过，还是没有达到我的最低要求，因为，里面有好多题目是我没看清题目还有计算错误而造成的。 三门课的成绩我已经知道了，我非常不满意，我希望我的英语成绩能好一点。 这次考试我考得非常不好，我在期末考试的时候，一定要好好

Cars have been banned from this area for close to 100 years, and everything looks like it was taken right out of Heidi. The locals have kept their Swiss culture undamaged. Shirakawa-go in Japan This village is certainly known for its unusual houses with triangular roofs which seem to resemble hands joined in prayer. It's designed to keep snow from piling up on top of houses. These houses are the symbol of the area but there aren't many of them left anymore. Eze in France France in itself is pretty, but its most attractive village is Eze. This community seems to be frozen in time. This village is the perfect melting pot of cultures because of its closeness to Nice. During the Middle Ages, it was desired by invaders(侵略者),and while this was a cause of sadness for the local people in the past, today the village enjoys its rich heritage(遗产).The architecture here is so diverse. Bibury in England

When I was a baby I would stand in my wooden crib(婴儿床) and watch the world go by through the window. Some neighbors watched me watching the world go by with by big, wondering eyes and found me very interesting. They used to call me “the beauty at the window”. The early neighbors I could remember were from the second house I lived in. Peter and Paul were twins. We went to play school together although they were a year older than me. I well remember the Alsatian they had which ran into me when I was invited to their fifth birthday party. Needless to say, I was well-known for my loud screams after the party. But they said the pet was scared of my screams and didn’t appear until the party was over. Peter and Paul were the first boys who encouraged me to climb the gate. I could never tell the difference between boy and girl behaviors—I just did what I thought was fun. Not only did I have a great time performing that first climb, I also got my skirts dirty, and was criticized by my mother. The Japanese neighbors I had living in this same house were my favorite, as they introduced me to sea-salt baked shrimps (烤虾) which were so crisp that you could eat the shrimp totally. They gave me some seaweed for my birthday. Thankfully, no other member in my family enjoyed the seaweed as I did. Perhaps what my mother used to joke to me was true, that I was picked up out of the dustbin that belonged to a Japanese home. Maybe sometimes it is difficult to find good neighbors in this society. But all it takes is a spark(火花) to get a fire going. I have decided to be that spark wherever I live and pass love on to my neighbors. 21. We can guess "the Alsatian" in the twin brothers' home is ___________. A. a small child B. an interesting toy C. a dog D. a bicycle 22. From the passage we can know that the author___________. A. enjoyed the Japanese neighbors' cooking style most B. had difficulty getting on with the twin brothers' family C. was described as interesting when playing with boys D. had many neighbors that worked in restaurants 23. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author often moved to other places. B. Peter and Paul liked to play tricks on others. C. The neighbors the author had were good at cooking. D. The author had a good relationship with her neighbors. B Below are four ads on the website.Artful Experience It’s an artful experience even if you’re artistically challenged.
