At the end of our first year, she finally got invited to the biggest party of the year. As her best friend, I helped her get ready forthe party. After I watched her leave, I headed into the house with a big sigh (叹⽓) and 15 that everything could go back theway it used to be between us.
At about 2:00 a.m., my phone rang. It was Kerrie’s mother. I could hear the 16 in her voice. “Kerrie’s been in an accident,” shesaid. My mind began racing in fear.
“She was hit by a tr uck,” her mother continued to say. “ 17 , it wasn’t too bad. She has got a fracture (⾻折). The doctor saidshe’d be OK in a mont h.”
After taking control of my thoughts again, I 18 to calm down and hurried to the hospital.

After the party, some girls told her to get a taxi for them. While Kerrie was standing in the coldwaiting for a taxi, a truck came out of nowhere and hit her.
In the following weeks, I visited Kerrie every day. However, no one at the party ever came to see her, even the girls that shehad tried to get a taxi for.

Tough Man: a race to the limit
Every January, more than 3,000 people take part in one of the most difficult races on Earth: the Tough Man competition in theUK. Competitors run, swim and climb around the 15-km course. But this is no normal race. These competitors have to crawl(爬) through tunnels (隧道), run across a field of nettles (荨⿇) and jump over fire. What’s more, the competition takes placesin January, so the temperatures are low – sometimes as low as -6℃. People travel from all over the world to take part, withcompetitors from South Africa, Australia and China.
The following shows what the Tough Man course is like. First, competitors run for 1 km along a muddy road. Next, they crawlunder low nets on the ground. After the nets, the runners jump into a lake and swim for 1 km. Then, they reach the field of fire.Here, the runners run across a field and jump over small bonfires. Next, competitors must crawl through a long tunnel. Thetunnel is partly under water. Finally, the runners run 2 km through nettles before they reach the finish line.
The competition is quite dangerous and every year there are accidents. Injuries like broken bones and cuts are quite
common. The race is very hard: one-third of the competitors don’t finish it. Runners have to be very fit and healthy and mostpeople train all year to prepare for the event. It is also the only race like it in the world. There are similar events, but this wasthe 5 / 14

Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good nigh t’s sleep every night. You aren’t able to do your best andkeep up with all of your responsibilities at school unless you sleep well. Most experts agree that the best number of sleepinghours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once andI know that most of you get much less sleep than that –and in some cases it will be influencing your schoolwork.
I read an interesting article in a teacher s’magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, theresults showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at proper times but a growingnumber of them are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have something to eat but because ofFOMO – fear of missing out, which brings worrying influence on their sleep and schoolwork.6 / 14
According to the article, schoolchildren are having problems because more and more of them wake up during the night tocheck social media. Afraid of missing a comment (评论) or an opportunity to take part in a conversation, teenagers arewaking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. All this when they should be sound asleep.
Experts are worried and the report shows some facts from the study that I’d like to share with you:●23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media.●One in three students are always tired.
●Students who use social media during the night are more likely to be anxious (焦虑).
Are you experiencing FOMO? If yes, I’d like to ask you to be responsible for your sleep when it comes to social media. Bebrave! Switch off your devices (设备) at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in themorning! I give you my word that you won’t have missed anything important just because of a good nigh t’s sleep.27. We can learn from the passage that FOMO is .A. an unreasonable need to go out all the timeB. a result of using social media in a wise wayC. a fear of missing communication on social mediaD. a study on the ways of teenagers using social media28. What did the study in Wales show?
A. Teenagers are tired because they often stay up late.B. More and more teenagers are tired of schoolwork.C. Half of the teenagers wake up nearly every night.D.
Using social media at night may cause anxiety.
29. What is the write r’s main purpose in writing this passage?A. To explain the relationship between FOMO and sleep.B. To encourage teenagers to deal with FOMO properly.C. To describe why teenagers don’t get enough sleep.D. To show why FOMO happens a lot to teenagers.7 / 14D
Think back to when you were in a classroom, and the teacher set a difficult
The psychologist (⼼理学家) Carol Dweck of Stanford University, did a test by giving some ten-year-old children problemsthat were a little hard for them. Group 1, who chose B, reacted positively, said they loved challenges and understood thattheir abilities could be
developed. Professor Dweck says they had a “g rowth mindset (思维模式)”. And they cared more about what they can
achieve in the future. However, group 2, who chose A, felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed. Theyhad a “fixed mindset” and were unable to imagine improving. Some of these children said they might cheat in the future andlook for someone who were worse than them, just to make themselves feel good.
Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education. For years, teachers have praised children for their
intelligence and talent. But this makes them get hurt easily from failure. They become performance-oriented (i.e. interested ingetting high grades, not learning). The right way, according to Dweck, is to praise the process that children are involved in:
making an effort, using learning strategies (策略) and improving. This way they will become mastery-oriented (i.e. interestedin getting better at something) and will achieve more.
Psychologists have been testing these theories. Students were taught that if they left their comfort zone and learned
something new and difficult, they’d be more intelligent. These students made faster progress than a control group. In anotherstudy, children from an
underperforming (不佳的) school had trainings on their growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were staggering.They came top in tests, beating children from much better schools. These children had previously felt that making an effortwas a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.8 / 14
So, back to our original question, if you answered B, well done –you already have a growth mindset. If A, don’t worry;everyone is able to become mastery-oriented with a little effort and self-awareness.30. What can we learn from Carol’s test in Paragraph 2?A. Group 2 cheated in the test.B. Group 1 had good imagination.C. Group 2 felt confident after the test.D. Group 1 liked challenging problems.31. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. Ways of training children.B. How to deal with challenges.C. Problems in today’s classroom.D. The right and wrong ways of praise.
32. The word staggering in Paragraph 4 probably means .A. unbelievableB. unchangeableC. disappointingD. frightening
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Do you have the right mindset?B.
Can you make the right choice? C.Are you using proper strategies? D.Are you really pushing yourself?
四、阅读短⽂，根据短⽂内容回答问题。（共10 分，每⼩题2 分）Tornado Chaser
Do you know? In June 2003, South Dakota experienced 67 tornados in one day! In the U.S., tornadoes (龙卷风) are
responsible for 80 deaths and more than 1,500 injuries each year. Although they happen very often, tornadoes are difficult topredict. Why? Tornadoes develop 9 / 14
from storms, but only some storms can become tornadoes. Meteorologists (⽓象学家) don’t know where and when a stormwill touch the ground and turn into a tornado. Today, the warning time for a tornado is usually just 13 minutes.
Tim Samaras is a tornado chaser. His job is to find tornadoes and follow them. When he gets close to a tornado, he puts aspecial tool on the ground. This tool measures things like temperature, humidity, and wind speed of a tornado. With thisinformation, Samaras can learn what causes tornadoes to develop. If meteorologists understand this, they can warn peopleabout tornadoes sooner and save lives.
How does Samaras hunt tornadoes? It’s not easy. First, he has to find one. Tornadoes are too small to see using weathersatellites (卫星). So Samaras can’t just depend on these tools to find one. Instead he waits for tornadoes to develop. EveryMay and June, Samaras drives about 40,000 kilometers (25,000 miles) across an area known as Tornado Alley, looking andhoping to find a tornado.
Once Samaras sees a tornado, the chase begins. But a tornado is hard to follow. Some tornadoes change direction severaltimes—for example, moving east and then west and then east again. When Samaras finally gets near a tornado, he puts hisspecial tool on the ground. Being this close to a tornado is frightening. There is rubbish flying in the air. The wind is blowingat high speed. He must get away quickly.
The work is risky, even for a skilled chaser like Samaras. But danger won’t stop his hunt for the perfect storm.34. When did South Dakota experience 67 tornadoes in one day?35. How long is the warning time usually for a tornado?36. What does Tim Samaras do?
37. Where does Samaras go every May and June?38. Why is it hard for Samaras to hunt tornadoes?10 / 14
