I cant stand (忍受) lies. 1, a white lie changed my idea.Several days ago, I invited some friends 2(get) together at a bar to celebrate my birthday. They promised to meet 3at 5 p.m. When that day came,

15、I got to 4bar early. To my disappointment (失望), only one friend arrived by 4:50 p.m. Did they forget my birthday? I had to keep5(wait) for them. Most of them said that they were 6 the way while some said they were still at home. I realized that they wouldnt come on time. At 5 p.m., there 7(be) just

16、three people with me. I sat on my chair 8 (happy). How could they do this to me? They didnt care about me! I got so angry that I decided to leave. But just at that moment, a group of my 9 (friend) came into the room with a big cake in their hands, singing “Happy birthday to you”. I was so10(surprise

17、). Ever since then, I didnt hate telling white lies anymore. 阅读理解A13、Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us a

18、t birth, and no education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich environment. Therefore, the limits of persons intelligence arefixedat birth, whether

19、or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view, now is held by most experts.It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. If we take two

20、strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intell

21、igence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factoryseparatelywhere the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence

22、 developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important role. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact (接触) with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.1How is mans intelligence

23、given?AAt birth BThrough educationCBoth at birth and through education DNeither at birth nor through education2What does the underlined word mean in the first paragraph?A稳固 B确定 C修理 D安排3According the passage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later?ABecome a genius.BS

24、till become a genius if he should be given special education.CReach his intelligence limits in rich environment.DNever reach his intelligence in his life.4What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory?AThe importance of their intelligence.BThe role of environ

25、ment on intelligence.CThe importance of their jobsDThe part that birth plays5What statement is TRUE according to the passage?ANo education can help make a genius.BPersonality is important as intelligence which was given to people at birth.CPeople who have similar degree of intelligence must be relat

Should it really be called “optional” if you have to do it? Unfortunately, I waited until the last minu

27、te to sign up. Many of the activities were already full, but I made a decision to join the Cooking Club because at least that way I would get a snack to eat.Tuesday, April 7It was the first time to be here. Like many of my ideas, joining the Cooking Club made sense at first but was turning out to be

28、 a disaster. Most people have been in the club for more than a year, so they already know what theyre doing. And since they all know each other, they werent exactly interested in a newcomer.Thursday, April 9What a terrible day! How could I know that if a recipe says to beat cookie batter (糊), you co

29、uldnt do it with your fists (拳头)? I thought the other kids would never stop laughing. And it was not easy to get cookie batter off your clothes.Friday, April 10I have more funny things in Cooking Club. Now I know that chocolate mousse is a dessert and it isnt spelled m-o-o-s-e. “Mousse” and “Moose”

30、(驼鹿) sound exactly the same. So I dont think my question about whether vegetarians(素食者) can eat chocolate mousse was really that silly.Monday, April 13One of my bright ideas worked out for a change! Everyone laughed when I handed out the chocolate “moose” cookie that I made yesterday, but this time

31、I was laughing, too. The peanut butter antlers(鹿角) were a_Were even planning to bake more cookies for the school food festival next week.1Carole chose the Cooking Club because _.AShe liked making different kinds of food.BCooking club was the only activity she could choose.CShe could get some food in

33、erstood a cooking recipe.CBecause she didnt know how to use tools.DBecause she was laughed at by other kids.4What did Carole think of mousse at beginning?AShe thought eating mousse was silly.BShe thought mousse was a kind of animal.CShe thought mousse didnt taste good.DShe thought only vegetarians c

35、portant part in our daily life. But do you know which of your two hands you use more? Very few people use both hands equally well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about tw

36、o years they usually use their right hands. Scientists dont know why this happens.Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-hand

37、ed ones. Next time you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people. We live in a right-handed w

40、 I was young, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always fun: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.On Dads f

41、inal day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read,

42、“Nat, take these eggs to Marian; shes baking a cake and doesnt have any eggs.” A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the ba

43、nk. Once, the amount came to $32,000.A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dads death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasnt the case.As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, which supported

44、 wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those boxes. I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house.Frank Townsend, Dads postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat dow

45、n at the table and began to tell stories.At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. “What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas？”he asked.“The letters？”“I guess you never knew.”“Knew what？”“Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa boxes on Ma

46、in Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year.”I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasnt hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Chr

47、istmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.1It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as _.

48、Aexciting experiences with a lot of funBhappy occasions to play with baby chickensCgreat chances to help other peopleDgood opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies2The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that _.ADad had a strong sense of dutyBDad had a strong sense of honorCDad

49、was an honest and reliable manDDad was a kind and generous man3According to the passage, which of the following impressed the writer most?ADad read letters for a blind lady for years.BDad paid for the stamps for a young girl.CDad answered childrens Christmas letters every year.DDad took the money to

50、 the bank for one businessman.4What surprised the children most when they received letters in reply from Santa Claus every year?ASanta Claus had so much information about their families.BSanta Claus answered all their letters every year.CSanta Claus had unique mailboxes for the children.DSanta Claus

However, he asked them to get some bananas on the other side of the river and bring them to him. So

53、the elephant and the monkey went to the river, but the water ran so fast that the monkey was afraid. “Get on my back, Monkey,” said the elephant, “I shall take you there. Im big and strong, and I can swim across the river.”Soon they got to the other side. The elephant tried to reach the bananas, but

54、 they were too high. “Wait a minute, please. I can climb,” said the monkey. He quickly ran up the tree and gave the bananas to the elephant. Then they came back happily to the old bird and showed him the bananas. “Now, you see, the elephant is strong,” said the old bird with a smile, “but he couldnt

55、 get the bananas; the monkey is quick, but he couldnt, either. Only you two could do the work well when you helped each other.”1Both the elephant and the monkey are _ in the story.Aquick Bproud Cstrong2According to the story, _ is more important.Athe monkey Bthe elephant Cneither3Picture _ shows the

People are encouraged to turn off screens during the week.Supporters of Screen-Free Week say turning off tech devices（设备）is good for kids. According to a study, kids

58、slept better and got better grades when their parents limited（限制）their screen time. Also, some people think Screen-Free Week can help kids develop a good habit. They point out that many kids who took part in the event in the past now spend less time using tech devices.However, not everyone supports

59、the idea. Some people argue that screen time is OK as long as kids dont overdo（滥用）it. Also, others say turning off tech devices completely for a week won t teach kids how to balance（兼顾）screen time with other activities.Heres what two students think:YES! Kids spend too much time in front of screens.
