During her month-long stay in Jerusalem she often went to a caf called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom Alex used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that hed be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the caf, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN).Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting. It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he returned to California, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalcm, he took the book along.1、Alex lent Emma the book, Markings,_.Ato show his friendliness to herBto show his interest in readingCto tell her about the importance of UNDto let her write her name and address inside2、How did Emma feel the moment she opened the book?APleased.BSatisfied.CWorried.DSurprised.3、We can learn from the text the Californian .Amet Emma at a concertBinvited Emma to a concertCintroduced Emma to his friendDleft Emma his backpack22（8分）Back in January, I was watching a college football game and came to a realization: As a high school senior, pretty soon, Ill be the same age as some of the top athletes in the world.This realization was both confusing and comforting. Until this point, Id always thought of top athletes in another generation. I had no real connection to people in the news or playing sports on TV because they were so much older. But pretty soon, people of my age will be the ones dominating (支配) the news.The comfort came in understanding that as I prepare to graduate from Sanford H. Calhoun High School in Merrick, Im not that far off from entering the real world, and I will have a chance to make a name for myself.Right now, Im at the end of one of life stages, with many more to come. As seniors, many in my class developed superiority complexes. Wed see babyfaced ninthgraders and think, “Ugh, those annoying freshmen.” Or wed hear juniors complain about starting the college application process and say to each other, “Those juniors have no idea what theyre talking about.” Of course, last years seniors said the same thing about last years juniors, repeating a timeless cycle.Psychologist and author Thomas Armstrong writes that life is made up of 12 stages. He stresses that no stage is more important than another, and each has its own unique gifts. There is no highest point in life, no impressive ending when you are above everybody else. At the same time, there is no lowest point in life; at no point is a human worthless and below others. Just as an infant isnt below everyone else, our elders arent above everyone else.1、What can we know about the author?AHell finish his high school studies about one year later.BReflecting on the past is a part of his daily routine.CFootball is a particular favorite with him.DHe dreams of being an excellent athlete.2、Why did the author find his realization comforting?AThe top athletes are the same age as him.BThere is a possibility that he can be famous.CHe will be admitted to his dream university.DHes made full preparations for entering society.3、What does the underlined phrase “superiority complexes” in Paragraph 4 mean?AA habit of making complaints.BA habit of following in others footsteps.CA feeling that you are better than others.DA feeling that others are unapproachable.4、What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?ALife is meant to be lived and enjoyed.BLife is never smooth, full of ups and downs.COne should try to reach his greatest potential.DEveryone has their own value and position in life.23（8分）Upcoming Music festivals and concerts in Boston in 2019New Bedford Folk Festival 2019The 24th Annual New Bedford Folk Festival will feature the best in contemporary, traditional and Celtic folk music Called one of the most exciting and smartly programmed festivals in the Northeast and New Englands most enjoyable folk festival, New Bedford Folk Festival is an affordable destination for families seeking a fun-filled weekend.Location: Waterfront, New Bedford, MAPhone: [phone] Dates: Saturday, July 6, 2019一Sunday, July 7, 2019Hours: Saturday and Sunday, July 7 and 8 from 11:00 AM. to 7:00 PM.

Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill (跑步机), burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate (调节) its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperaturesand quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, stroke, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust (尾气), and go early in the morning, before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.1、How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?AThey can run more slowly.BThey can take in more calories.CTheir hearts can function harder.DTheir body temperature can get lower.2、How does summer affect runners?AIt builds up their energy quickly. BIt makes runners tired easily.CIt lessens runners stress. DIt causes heart attack.3、What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?AStop driving cars. BDo more exercise.CAvoid outdoor exercise. DRun late in the morning.4、What can be the best title of the text?ARefresh with a Winter Run BTake Outdoor Exercise in SummerCGo to Run in a Park DFollow the Tips to Reduce Stress25（10分） Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. Its awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and dont branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really important, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so theyve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isnt the car any more because theres technology out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a drivers license compared to six in ten today. So its not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasnt rushing to get a license but an iPhone.“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and thats a negative So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, thats going to be a plus.” Schor continued.To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.1、The American teens prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because _.Ait is most fashionable and coolBthey a
