For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holts basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to admit the fact to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much Id hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder. Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didnt know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should ever think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.21. What is the main subject of the passage?A. The relationship between Mark and Steve. B. The important lesson Mark learned in school. C. Steves important role in Marks growing process. D. Mark and Steves respect for living things. 22. In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother?A. Respect for personal property. B. Respect for life. C. Sympathy for people with problems. D. The value of honesty.23. According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother?A. Respect for living things. B. Responsibility for ones actions. C. The value of honesty. D. Care for the property of others.24. From the passage, we can infer the following statements EXCEPT that_.A. Mark benefited a lot from Steve after their father passed away. B. Mark was not as excellent as his elder brother Steve.C. The small wood dog carved by his father meant a lot to Mark.D. Mark used to be a naughty boy in his childhood.BWater goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle（循环）. The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapour. Plants also give off lots of water vapour. Some of this water vapour cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again. The ground can absorb water like a sponge（海绵）. If you could see this groundwater, it wouldnt look like a lake or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers（层）below Earths surface. Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometers in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years. And once groundwater is pumped out of the ground from a deep well（井）by people, it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place. 25. The groundwater seems to_. A. be just on the ground B. be pure water like that in a lake or river C. exist in rocks and sand D. flow along like rivers or streams 26. The underlined word “pumped” in the passage can be replaced by_. A. run B. pushed C. drawn D. picked 27. What conclusion（结论）can we draw from the passage? A. Groundwater can be quickly replaced by other water once pumped out. B. Groundwater is very valuable. C. Groundwater has nothing to do with human beings. D. Groundwater travel in an unknown way. CCheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, its not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game. Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesnt solve the problem of not knowing the material and it wont help on the next test - unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too. Some kids cheat because theyre busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they cant pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isnt a good idea. If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldnt study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you dont have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions（解决办法）together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.28. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _. A. it is unfair to other people B. it does harm to their health C. teachers should punish them D. teachers shouldnt stop them at once 29. Some students like cheating mainly because_.A. the material in the test is very difficult B. they want to do better than the others C. cheating can make hard things seem very easy D. they have little time to study their lessons 30. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us_.A. cheating isnt a good idea B. why kids cheat in the test C. some kids cant pass the test without cheating D. some kids dont spend the time studying 31. In the passage those cheaters are advised to_. A. spend more time on school than on sports B. find good solutions instead of cheating C. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy D. ask their classmates for good methods of studyDWelcome to the Electronic Village to explore new ways of language teaching and learning.Electronic Village Program (Thursday, June 18, 2015)Nearpod9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Room 501Nearpod is a software program that creates a rich context（语境）for students to learn vocabulary.
