I spent my first five years within the loving arms of my family, and when the time came for me to begin school at PS 116 in Brooklyn, I was sure that no one would keep me safe. But I was so lucky to meet Mrs. Heyman. Not only did she make me feel safe, she let me know that I was special.Kindergarten was a fearful experience for me. I was a shy child who hated being separated from my mommy. Mrs. Heyman was a kind and patient teacher who tried to get me to stop crying each morning after I asked for one last kiss.She would distract (转移的注意力) me with pens and colorful paper and by playing beautiful music. It seemed the feeling of being an artist distracted me from my separation unhappiness, allowing me to attend class as the tears ran down my face. I also loved to sing and dance, and performed (表演) the Virginia reel a kind of dance when the principal (校长), Mr. Barton, visited our class.Mr. Barton was an old, serious man who liked to walk behind children who behaved badly and shout, “Behave!” I was afraid of being shouted at by him, and practiced the dance with my classmates until Mrs. Heyman told us we were perfect.Unluckily, I was so nervous before Mr. Bartons visit that I wet myself. Mrs. Heyman calmly (冷静地) took me to the bathroom and told me to change into new clothes, drying my tears all the while, never showing judgment.As I performed, Mr. Barton cheered. Pleased, I bravely stepped up to the front of the classroom and threw kisses in Mrs. Heymans direction.I was lucky to have her again for the first grade, and learned to love school and learning.

This years event was held from March 30 through April 1 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.At the yearly event, artists sell comic books, artwork, and other things. There are also performances, discussions, and famous guests. Awesome Con also has game rooms, where visitors can play many popular games like Donkey Kong. Of all the activities at Awesome Con, cosplay is surely the most attractive one. Many people see Awesome Con as a way to express themselves and show off their hobbies. Cosplay is a very good way to achieve this purpose.Cosplay is dressing up as a character (角色) from movies, games, or comics. People dress as superheroes, time travelers, robots, etc. Many build their own clothes and some of them are very skillfully made.“Its a huge part of the whole event, and its really nice to see everyone having fun and putting so much time and energy (精力) into their cosplay clothes,” said John Hutson, who dressed up as superhero Captain America.“I dressed up as Deadpool,” said another comic book fan Sandy Millin. “I really enjoy this character, and I came out here because it allows me to express myself freely.”For those who attend Awesome Con, talking about hobbies with people you dont know is fun. There are other advantages too. For example, in Artist Alley, where comic-book creators talk to fans and sign books and drawings, you can find many different kinds of art and people who like that kind of work. “Its nice to see not very well-known artists finally getting recognized (认可) for their wonderful artwork by people who really enjoy cartoons, comics, and video games,” said a student from Takoma Park Middle School in Maryland.28.

What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. How artists get recognized.B. The activities in Artist Alley.C. The advantages of Awesome Con.D. Fun things to do at Awesome Con.DI did some research and examined how British English and American English changed between the 1930s and the 2000s. Take spelling, for example towards the 1960s it looked like the UK was going in the direction of not using the “u” in “colour” and writing “centre” as “center”. But since then, the British have become more confident (自信的) in some of their own spellings. In the 2000s, the UK used an American spelling choice about 11% of the time while Americans use a British one about 10% of the time. There is also no need to worry too much about American words, such as “vacation”, “liquor” and “lawmaker” entering British English. There are a few examples of this kind of vocabulary change but they are mostly uncommon words and are not likely to change British English too much. The British are still using “mum” rather than “mom” and “petrol” rather than “gas”. But when we start thinking of language more in terms of style than vocabulary or spelling, a different picture appears. Some of the bigger trends (趋势) in American English are moving towards a freer use of language. American sentences are on average (平均) one word shorter in 2006 than they were in 1931.Americans also use a lot more apostrophes (撇号) in their writing than they used to, which has the effect of turning the two words “do not” into the single “dont”. “The hand of the king” becomes the shorter “The kings hand”.However, in all these ways Brits are changing too and in the same way as Americans. Theyre just about 30 years behind the trend that Americans seem to be leading. So this raises a question, is British English actively following American English or is this something that is simply a natural trend in language use? Perhaps the British would have gone in that direction even if America had never been discovered? Id like to agree with the second idea but because of the fact that British people learn plenty of American language through different ways, I think the first is more correct.32. What did the British do in the 1960s?A. They used some American spellings.B. They built up confidence in their language.C. They did research on language differences.D. They went in the direction of harder spellings.33. What does the author try to show by using examples like “petrol”?A. British English has changed a lot.B. Some uncommon words are used less often.C. American words are entering British English.D. American spelling wont change British English too much.34. Which of the following is a trend of American English?A. It is using shorter words.B. It is turning to proper grammar.C. It is avoiding using apostrophes.D. It is trying to make sentences simpler.35. Which of the following is the authors opinion about the languages?A. American English is going the wrong way.B. British English is following American Englishs example.C. American English is borrowing a lot from British English.D. Languages wouldnt change much if America was not discovered.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的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。Go fly a kiteLearning how to fly a kite is simple, and flying kites can be a fun form of exercise.
