随着升学考的来临，我们的初中生活也即将结束。三年的初中生涯，总有一些难以忘怀的时刻。仔细阅读以下四段材料，从A、B、C、D中选择一个合适的标题。

【1】Hello, I’m Tom. I remember at one time, when we were running on the playground, I was too tired to go on. As I wanted to give up, some of my classmates cheered me up. My classmates’ encouragements helped me finish the run. I’ll never forget it.

【2】Hello, I’m Mary. When I was in Grade Two, I didn’t prepare well for an English contest. I said sorry to my teacher. He said: “Any opportunity is important. You should never give it up easily.” Later on, I made good use of every opportunity. I’ll never forget him.

23、

Animals are unlike people. They can't speak. They are not able to express themselves even if they feel pain and sadness. 【1】  Now ,we can learn from Sophie Smith and be animals' true friends— a volunteer working for animals.

On Feb. 3, 2014, a girl from Massachusetts, the US, said that circuses（马戏团）should no more use hooks（钩子）or chains on elephants. And the government should do something

【2】 They can’t walk freely. And chains bring them great pain. Some people even use hooks when they train elephants. The hooks are sharp and bring elephants much more pain. Circus actors even push a hook into an elephant's body to move it along during a show. “After some time, the elephant's skin breaks down. It feels the pain, but it can’t say anything. It can' t say no to those cruel people." Sophie told local newspaper Marblehead Reporter. She also said that it would be bad for children.

【3】   Back in 2011, as a sixth-grader, she searched for different animal protection groups online and helped them.

So when she spoke in front of 70 people at the state house, Sophie was not afraid. She was full of courage.

“Elephants aren’t treated with kindness.  【4】  I speak for them with my voice, and my love." she said.

24、When I was a junior high school student in 1980 , God gave me a gift —it was happiness. One weekend , I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home , a car ran over me and cut off my arm because of its high speed .

Several days later when I woke up at the hospital , I realized I had to spend the rest of my life without arm. How sad and scared I felt at that time ! But slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over  it  . I couldn’t get my arm back even though I cried every day . However, it`s easier said than done . It took me half a year to get out of the sadness completely.

I got so much from my past story. From then on , I could treat my life with a normal  mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates get serious about little things. For example, they get bad grades in the test; their bus comes late; they don’t have a mobile phone but others have . But I only enjoy life . I was lucky to realize from an accident: it is a waste of our life to focus on (关注) what you have lost . We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy? Someone may say, “My whole life would improve if I have a new car.” But when you get the car and what happens? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.

Happiness depends on what we have! It’s in our heart. It’s a state of mind. Even though you own the whole world, you may still feel unhappy.

Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating (感激) and taking pleasure in what you really have.

D. Before it took him nearly half a year to get out of the sadness completely .

【4】From the passage, which situation we should get serious? .

A. Our bus comes late.

B. We lost what we have and felt sad.

C. We don’t have a mobile phone but others have.

25、The Amazing Brain

Sleep. It’s something we spend about a third of our lives doing, but do any of us really understand what it’s all about?

We all know based on our own experience that when we sleep, it clears our minds, and when we don’t sleep, it leaves our minds murky (昏沉沉的). But when we still haven’t understood why sleep has this amazing function for the mind.

Recently biologists have found that sleep may actually be a kind of design solution to some of the brain’s most basic needs, the way that brain meets the high demands and the narrow margins (范围) that set it apart from all the other organs (器官) of the body. The brain has a large pool of clean, clear fluid (流体) called cerebrospinal fluid. Biologists call it the CSF. The CSF fills the space that surrounds the brain, and wastes from inside the brain make their way out to the CSF, which gets the waste into the blood. What was surprising to them was that the fluid on the outside of the brain didn’t stay on the outside. Instead, the CSF goes into and through the brain along the outsides of the blood vessels (血管), it was actually helping to clear away and clean the waste from the spaces between the brain’s cells (细胞). This only happens in the sleeping brain.

Recent research suggests that what’s happening is that when the brain is awake and is at its most busy, it puts off clearing away the waste from the spaces between its cells until later. When we go to sleep, it gets into a kind of cleaning mode to clear away the waste from the spaces between its cells.

We go to sleep every single night, but our brains never rest. While our body is still and our mind is off walking in dreams somewhere. Like our housework, it’s dirty and a thankless job, but it’s also important. In your house, if you stop cleaning your kitchen for a month, your home will become completely unlivable very quickly. But in he brain, the situation is much more serious because when it comes to cleaning the brain, it is the very health and function of the mind and the body that’s at stake. That is why understanding these very basic housekeeping functions of the brain today may prevent and treat diseases of the mind tomorrow.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “at stake” in the last paragraph mean?

A. in a healthy situation

B. in a dangerous situation

C. in an amazing situation

D. in an unlivable situation

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Sleeping makes our brain feel murky.

B. The CSF can clean the waste in our brain.

C. Our brain can clean the waste at any time.

D. Sleeping makes our brain have a good rest.

【3】What is the main purpose of writing this passage?

A. To teach us how to have a good sleep.

B. To show the new research of our brain.

C. To introduce how CSF works in our brain.

D. To tell us the importance of sleeping.

26、   Out with the old, in with the new (旧的不去,新的不来). It's time to buy some new, fashionable clothes for the summer. But what do you do with your old clothes?

Every year in China, people throw away about 26 million tons of old clothes, according to the China Association of Resource Comprehensive Utilization. Most of them are buried (填埋) or burned as waste. It's a huge waste of energy.

"In many countries, charity shops collect and resell second-hand clothes," Zhao Guoliang, a professor at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, told Beijing Morning Post. "It's the best way to solve this problem."

In some countries, it can be fashionable to shop for used clothes at charity shops like Oxfam British singer Victoria Beckham said she had bought clothes from Oxfam. "It's amazing to see what people throw out and it's good to help such a great place," she told Heat magazine.

Recycling clothes is catching up in China. Fashion brand H&M is inviting people to put their old clothes into special boxes in their 45 stores in China. Some of the clothes will be resold after being cleaned. Some will be used to make other things, such as toys or cloth bags.

Another fashion brand JNBY also takes action. If people take the down jackets (羽绒服) they have worn to the stores of JNBY, they can get 200 yuan to buy the new clothes. The used down jackets will be cleaned and then given away to the people in need.

27、On the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, some villagers cut down trees in a special way. If a tree is too large to be cut down with an ax, they try something else-yelling（叫喊）at it.  Woodsmen with special powers climb up a tree at dawn and yell at it at the top of their voices. They continue doing this for 30 days. After 30 days, the tree dies and falls over. It seems like the yelling kills the spirit of the tree. According to the villagers, it always works.

It's too bad they don' t have the advantages of modern technology and a scientific mind.

No matter how true the story actually is, it reminds me of something.  I often yell at my wife, the telephone and workers. And sometimes I even yell at the T V, the newspaper and my children. I've been known to shake my fist（拳头）and yell at the sky at times. People like me can often be seen around us.

The man next door yells at his car a lot. And this summer I heard him yell at a ladder for most of an afternoon. We modem, educated people yell at traffic, bills, banks and machines. Machines and relatives get yelled at the most.

It doesn't do much good. Machines and things just sit there. Even kicking it doesn't usually help. As for people, well, the Solomon Islanders may have a point. Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts.

【1】How do the Solomon villagers cut down a very large tree?

A. By using a special ax.   B. By using the power of nature.

C. By using a mysterious power.   D. By yelling at the tree for a month.

【2】From Paragraph 3 , we learn that the writer seems to be .

A. a kind man   B. a nice father

C. a busy husband   D. an impatient boss

【3】What does the writer think about yelling in life?

A. It's good for everything.   B. It solves traffic problems.

C. It makes machines work.   D. It does no good to people.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Yelling can solve all problems.

B. Yelling at others will never hurt their spirit.

C. It ' s common for people to yell at things around them.

D. Solomon Islanders never use an ax to cut down trees.

【5】What does the story want to tell us?

A. Yelling hurts both sides.   B. Everyone likes yelling.

C. Solomon Islanders are very stupid.   D. Every living thing has its own spirit.

28、   Rebecca is a wildlife camera-woman from the UK. She felt a 【1】 (深深的) sadness when she was filming a documentary for the BBC in the Pacific Ocean. The 【2】 (沙滩) should have been lively. But she sadly found that they were covered with plastic bags, toys, and 【3】 (瓶子) and dead animals.

Plastic bags have many advantages, so they are 【4】 (广泛地) used in people’s daily life. Britain uses nearly 17 billion plastic bags each year. The numbers are amazing.

Rebecca 【5】 (决定) she had to do something. In her own 【6】 (家乡), Modbury, she made a suggestion that local shopkeepers should 【7】 (避免) using plastic bags. To her surprise, they  【8】 (接受) her suggestion and Modbury became the first plastic bag-free place in Britain.

Now the “bag for life” is part of the national 【9】  (文化), and the task of cutting down the use of plastic bags has become the 【10】  (法律): Since October 2015, all shops in the UK must pay five pence for each plastic bag. It’s not enough, but it’s a start.

29、One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to promote(升职) me; _____ , it needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling that you’ve done well and allowing you to skip a grade(跳级), but you’ll have to_____ your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?” She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me_______ for the rest of the night. I had said “yes” but for the first time, I realized the difficult decisions adults had to make.

For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day.

During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her.

Looking at her large_______ apartment, I realized how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself. It was then that I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on balancing family and work._____ difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn’t know whether you make the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with passion and a positive attitude.

Back home, I reminded myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she______ to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be______ . I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable goals.
