Ms. Williams is known for being hard. As I took my seat, I noticed a girl sitting by the window. She had sandy blond hair pulled into a ponytail （马尾辫）and wore oversized glasses. I'd seen her before but didn't know her name.Throughout the class, she didn't speak or look up from her notebook. At break, she went to the library 13 I wondered what made her so shy and quiet. Later that week, I was partnered with her for an assignment. Then I knew her name was Lucy. During the project, I realized Lucy was kind and smart. I smiled at her and tried to include her in the conversation. She gave a small 14 in return.Over the next few months, Lucy and I became close friends. I invited her to sit with me at lunch and join after-school activities with us. Slowly, Lucy began to open up. She 15 about herself, and told me that she loved to read and watch old movies. I was relieved （宽慰 的）to see the shy, hesitant expression leave her face.One day Lucy told me a secret. She'd been bullied （欺凌）for a long time at her former school. The rude treatment had hurt her much, so that she became quiet, and had been fearful of 16 with people since. As she spoke, tears filled her eyes. I felt sad that such a lovely girl had been caused so much pain. I told Lucy she shouldn't have been treated that way and I was 17 to have her as a friend.A smile 18 across Lucy's face, and she hugged me. At that moment, something changed slightly inside me. I realized Lucy's friendship had given me a gift the ability to see through the 19 of people into who they truly are. Her quiet kindness and sensitivity had changed me for the better.From that day on, Lucy and I were inseparable （不可分的）. Her friendship taught methe importance of opening one's heart and20 out to others. The day I met Lucy,everything changed for the better.13. A. alone14. A. gift15. A. knew16. A. connecting17.

Here are three questions from three students and the advice from Diana at New Standard Magazine. Please find the proper advice for each of the students.Li Hao: " I like watching English films and listening to English songs, but I don't understand very much. What can I do?”21Wang Fan: Our school has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should 1 do?”22Zhang Lei: “ I write down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them?23A. English spelling is difficult. You need to have a good knowledge of the way that words are written. For example, remember that the word "letter" has double “t” in it.B. Watching films and listening to songs are great ways to learn English. Watch and listen several times, and guess the meanings of the new words. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.C. You can say, "Hello! How are you?” “Do you like China?” These are good ways to start a conversation. And before you begin, you should smile at her. Remember this: Don't be shy. Just try.D. Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.四、阅读单选It was a beautiful day, and Lily was excited to go on a school field trip to the zoo. She had been looking forward to this day for weeks, and nothing could dampen her spirits （影响 兴致）.As she and her classmates walked through the zoo, they came across a group of monkeys.Lily was attracted by the monkeys and started taking pictures with her phone. As she was about to move on, she noticed one monkey that seemed different. It wasn't moving around or playing with the others. Instead, it was sitting alone, looking sad and lonely.Lily couldn't help but feel sorry for the monkey. She wondered why it was alone and why it seemed so sad. As she walked away, the image of the lonely monkey stayed with her, and she couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right.The next day, Lily decided to do some research about monkeys and their behavior. She learned that monkeys are social animals and need to be with others of their kind to be happy and healthy. She also learned that many monkeys in captivity （圈养）suffer from loneliness and depression.Lily couldn't stop thinking about the lonely monkey in the zoo. She knew she had to do something to help. She reached out to the zoo and asked if there was anything they could do for the monkey. The zookeeper explained that they were aware of the monkey's situation and were working on finding it a monkey for company.Lily was less worried to hear that the zoo was taking actions, but she didn't stop there. She started an event at her school to raise money for the zoo to build a monkey sanctuary （保护区）. She talked to her classmates, teachers, and parents, and everyone was eager to help.Within a few weeks, Lily had raised enough money to build a monkey sanctuary at the zoo. The monkey from the zoo was moved to the sanctuary and was soon joined by other monkeys, and they all seemed happy and satisfied.24. What drew Lily's attention when she took pictures?A.

They may start to sweat and grow short of breath. They may even become so fearful that they can't focus or think. This is known as test anxiety, which can stop students in their tracks.Stress causes different levels of anxiety. Good stress causes just enough worry to get someone to focus on a task and do it well. Bad stress, however, does just the opposite. Instead of helping someone to focus, bad stress may make a person not able to think or focus clearly. This stress response hurts more than it helps. So students should learn how to deal with anxiety and do well on exams in different ways.The first step involves keeping good stress from turning into bad stress. The best way to do this is to prepare the mind and the body. Instead of treating a test as a big challenge, you can use it as a motivator （动力）to learn. Prepare by making sure you understand what you will be tested on. This will help you do well.The next step is knowing about your body and recognizing the signs of anxiety before it happens. Metacognition can help you achieve this. Metacognition is self-awareness of what the mind and body are up to in the moment. One way to think of it is by placing yourself on a "mental balcony“ and evaluating yourself as if observing from above. Recognizing your own stress signals can help you figure out how to keep from experiencing increased anxiety.Relaxation fights anxiety. If you find yourself really panicked （惊'慌失措），take a moment to step back. Stop and close your eyes. Take deep breaths and think of a peaceful place to calm yourself down. As you relax, remind yourself that you have prepared and that all will be well.Remember, we all experience anxiety at times. Whether you're taking a test, performing, or competing, you can apply anxiety一reducing strategies to keep cool. Using stress as a motivator instead of an obstacle can keep you from getting overly anxious. Coping with anxiety effectively will help you be your best for the test and for any other challenges you face.27. According to the passage, which of the following would reduce test anxiety?A. Keeping questions in mind.B. Placing yourself on a balcony.C. Allowing yourself to calm down.D. Focusing on your task all the time.28. What can we learn from the passage?A.

The introduction of different kinds of stress. D. The reasons to turn bad stress into good stress.Teens with a greater sense of purpose may be happier and more satisfied with life than their peers who feel less purposeful.Studies have suggested that a sense of purpose in life is important for adults' wellbeing and has many positive effects on their physical and mental health. However, less is known about its effects in teens who are struggling to develop their characters and plan for their future, according to the study led by educational psychology professor Kaylin Ratner.“Teens who scored high on purposefulness were more satisfied with their lives and experienced more positive emotions and fewer negative emotions,said Ratner. "When these teens felt more purposeful than usual, they also tended to experience greater wellbeing.The project also examined some behavioral and cognitive （认知）patterns related to these teens' sense of purpose in life and their overall happiness.Each day for 70 days, the participants-teens ages 14-19 in a 10-week Learning Challenge project of their choosingwere asked to rate how purposeful they felt, how satisfied they were with their lives and the levels of positive and negative emotions they were feeling.“At the beginning, the participants completed a 28-item survey that assessed （评估） their levels of sub-clinical autistic traits （亚临床自闭症特征）.A higher score suggested the teen had greater numbers of these traits,“ Ratner said.Then the participants completed assessments each day, rating on a five-point scale how purposeful they currently felt. Ratner's team calculated the average of these daily scores to determine each teen's behavioral and cognitive sense of purpose.“Our findings show that when you feel more purposeful than usual, you have better outcomes,Ratner said. "Purpose is accessible to everyone. What we need to do is to help individuals feel more purposeful from day to day.”They found that the participants with greater levels of sub-clinical autistic traits tended to report higher levels of negative feelings, and lower levels of life satisfaction and positive feelings. However, the strength of the association（联系）between wellbeing and daily purpose was not softened by these traits.“Our study is one of the most consistent （贯的）examinations of youths' purposefulness and helps strengthen the beneficial influence it has on their wellbeing J Ratner said. "It may lead to some purposefulness-promoting interventions to improve the wellbeing of many young people.”70% of the participants were femal已 Nearly 31 % were Asian, 22% were African American or Black, 18% were white and 14% were Hispanic. Because the sample was not representative of all teens in the country, however, the findings may not be generalized （普 遍化）.30. Who's the most likely to have better outcomes according to Rater's study?A. Jane studies hard but always worries.B , Mary sets a clear goal and makes a plan.C. Peter focuses on the result of his daily work only.D. Tom works fast without paying attention to details.31. What can we learn from the study mentioned in the passage?A. One's character links well-being with daily purpose.B , Teens' wellbeing may benefit from their purposefulness.C. Teens who once had negative feelings scored high on purposefulness.D. A sense of purpose in life is not so important for adults' wellbeing as for teens32. The underlined words "is accessible to“ in Paragraph 8 probably mean.A. is new toB. is close toC. is hard to get for D. is easy to get for33. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. A Sense of Purpose may Have Great Influence on Teens' WellbeingB , Scientists Make Studies on How to Have a Sense of Purpose in LifeC. Much Attention Should Be Paid to Teens, Physical and Mental HealthD. Negative and Positive Feelings may Have Different Effects on One's Wellbeing五、阅读回答问题阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。All energy sources have their pros and cons一their good points and bad points.
