One afternoon, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early, so I 1 my car by a small park, and 2 for her.
As I looked outside the car window, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running 3 on the grass as his mother 4 from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been 5 free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, 6 up, without looking back at his mother, run as 7 as he could , again , still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened .
At that moment, I thought to myself, “why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even 8 a second try. They would be so 9 that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good 10 for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up too afraid to try again for fear of failure.
However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a 11 experience. They try again and again until they 12 . The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. As a 13 , they are not discouraged in any way. Besides, they 14 think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make 15 , so they remain energetic.
I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence (坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.

Does it really matter if we know how old animals are? To many scientists, it does.
When studying animal populations, it is of great importance to scientists to know how many animals there are and how old they are. This information can help scientists learn which animals are thriving and which ones need more care and help. Scientists usually use the following ways to tell animals’ age.
For many animals, their teeth can help scientists know their age. In some animals, some teeth don’t come in until a certain age. Take cows for example. Like humans, cows have two sets of teeth, milk teeth and permanent teeth. They normally get their first pair of permanent teeth when they’re two years old. Then they have the next pair at the age of three, the third pair at the age of four…
Hair and skin can also provide information about age. Some animals tend to get bad skin and gray hair as they get older. If you are keen on keeping a dog, you may have noticed that its nose and mouth get grayer as it gets older.
Animals’ eyes and ears might also help scientists tell animals’ age. As animals get older, their hearing often becomes weak and their eyesight might begin to fail.
Scientists are continuing to discover new and more ways of telling the age of animals. Recently, scientists have learned that ▲ . That’s really good news!

What is adolescence (青春期)? It starts when you are aged between about ten and thirteen. 31 You may not want to spend as much time with your parents as you used to. You want more freedom to choose who you see and when you see. In the past, your parents made decisions for you. But now you want to decide things for yourself and don’t want to be told what to do all the time.
All these changes are perfectly normal. 32 So what can you do to make life easier and get on well with your parents?
Firstly, your parents will feel much better if you let them know that you still love and value them. 33 They may not say so, but they are probably feeling a sense of loss and may even feel be rejected (拒绝) by you, so try to express your love to them from time to time. 34 You may feel these rules are unnecessary, but your parents’ main concern is often just to keep you safe. Once you have agreed with the rules, try to stick to them.
Thirdly, try to understand why they might irritated (生气) by your behaviour. Do your parents get cross if you spend three hours chatting with friends on social media and leave your homework till the last minute? 35
Finally, it’s all about communication! Keep talking to your parents, tell them about what you did today, let them know where you are going, and ask for advice if you need.
A．Secondly, try to agree to rules.
B．Here are some changes about you during adolescence.
C．Adolescence is the most important stage in human’s life.
D．But they will affect your relationship with your parents.
E．That’s probably because they want you to do well at school.
F．Remember that they have lost forever the little child you once were.

Do you like reading? It is 36 important. First of all, reading can 37 your interests and help you learn new skills and 38 . Secondly, reading is also a good chance to know the world and a good rest for your mind. When you are reading, you will feel relaxing and 39 .
However, some students spend too much time 40 their cell-phones to listen to music, watch movies or play on-line games and this will take much of their spare time. So I would like to suggest that everyone should do 41 reading, especially read Chinese classic novels every day so that we can spread our Chinese traditional culture to the other countries in the world. Meanwhile, it is also good for us to get fully developed and it can help 42 our writing skill. Surely, we can read books alone, or read books with our 43 .
All in all, doing reading will do 44 much good if we do it from now on, and it is strongly 45 that we should make reading become a habit of our life. Do you agree with me?
四、读写结合（共两节,满分25分）
第一节任务型阅读（共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分）
阅读短文,用英文填空或回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。
Have you heard of the saying “Don’t judge (评价) a book by its cover”? Well, in Chinese, we often say “Don’t judge people by their looks”.
Imagine you meet someone new at school. They might look different from you in hair, clothes or looks. It’s important not to make any judgments about them just because of how they look.
Sometimes, people make a mistake by judging others by their looks. They might think someone is mean or unfriendly just because they have a serious face or wear unusual clothes. But sometimes seeing is not believing!
In reality, people are like books with a great many pages. In order to understand them, we need to “read many pages”. That means talking with them, learning about their interests and ideas, and spending time with them. Think about your best friends. When you met them for the first time, you might not know they would be your friends. But as you spent time together, you realized how amazing they were.
Don’t judge people by their looks, and open our heart to the people around us. If we do so, we’ll start to understand and treasure the differences between us, like different cultures, different backgrounds, and different ways of thinking.
So, let’s keep an open mind and be nice to everyone we meet, no matter how they look. When we do so, we make a big difference to the world, and we make a world where everyone feels important and accepted. After all, the most amazing things are hidden. They are in each one of us!
46．The passage mainly wants to tell us that . (10个词以内)
47．According to Paragraph 3, if someone , it doesn’t mean the person is unkind or unfriendly. (10个词以内)
48．To understand other people, we can do something like . (列举两项，10个词以内)
49．What will happen if we open our heart to the people around us?

50．What’s the writer’s advice on how to treat the people we meet?
