Christmas Eve was tomorrow. I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree. It was the only thing I wanted. I had been dropping hints to my parents. I love taking photos. My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom’s old camera. I’m always trying to capture (捕捉) those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene, but my camera has always seemed to fall short.
I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning, so I went on a hunt in my mom’s room. I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor — a big pink cat. I felt so disappointed.
Mom seemed to notice that, and she tried to cheer me up. “Stacy, I got your present today. I am so excited to surprise you!” “I can’t wait,” I said. The next day I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to tell her.
“Mom, may I talk to you for a second?”
“Sure, dear. What do you need to talk about?” she asked.
And so it came — how upset I was that I was getting a cat.
“Stacy, that cat is for your sister Julia!” she said with a smile.
“Then what am I getting?” I asked.
She just smiled. “You’ll have to wait and see.”
The next morning, I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree. I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find ...
My camera! “Thank you!” I said to both Dad and Mom.
Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. Just on that Christmas morning, I took lots of photos with my camera — my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile — and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: love.
【1】The underlined phrase “dropping hints” in Paragraph 1 means _____.
A. talking often B. suggesting indirectly

A. Her mother couldn’t understand her at all.
B. Her mother didn’t buy her any Christmas gift.
C. She didn’t find her present in her mom’s room.
D. She mistook her sister’s Christmas gift for hers.

A. her mother bought Stacy a camera after discovering her disappointment

C. Stacy thought it’s OK to have an old camera
D. her mother knew what gift Stacy wanted for Christmas

29、Since graduating from middle school, this year's new 9th-grade class is adapting to (适应) the challenges of high school, a difficult process (过程) for many students. Some of the challenges the students must get used to are the increasing difficulty of schoolwork, the amount of homework, and the change in the grading system among other things.
“It's a bit harder than middle school, but that is to be expected from every ongoing year,” David Palacios, 9th-grade student, said.
Adaptation is also influenced by stories the freshmen hear before entering. These stories create a negative (消极的) idea of high school, as they are usually bad stories about classes, teachers, or other topics.
“Stories I've heard of high school are exaggerated (夸张的),” Palacios said.
The school is fighting against student fear by providing information about high school, even before they enter. This year, the 9th-grade class entered school on August 8, one day earlier than other high school students. This was done to help the freshmen by solving any doubts they could have.
“In general, they adapt well, because since middle school they have been given some information on what high school is,” Ana Isabel Garcia, high school advisor, said.
The changes faced in 9th grade are more challenging than those found in middle school. However, after experiencing the first two months of 9th grade, many 9th graders agree that 9th grade is not as hard as they thought it would be.
“It's not that different from middle school,” Palacios said.
High school is harder than other grades as it's the final step students take before they enter the real world. Students must see the important role high school plays as it teaches them many skills that will help them improve their future.
“They do well because they come in with a good attitude (态度) and wish to adapt well,” Garcia said.
【1】What did Palacios think of the freshman challenges?
A.They happened as expected.
B.They were hard to fight off.
C.They would disappear soon.
D.They mostly focused on grades.
【2】Why did Palacios' school require the 9th graders to enter the school on August 8?
A.To show them around the campus.
B.To help them deal with their nervousness.
C.To let them experience high school life in advance.
D.To avoid them hearing bad stories about high school.
【3】What kind of feeling did Garcia express in her words?
A.Shock.
B.Worry.
C.Annoy.
D.Satisfaction.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A personal diary.
B.A travel guide.
C.A news report.
D.A letter.

But the author enjoys that sort of food herself. Last week, she went to the butcher’s and asked, “Do you have pigs’ ears?” “No,” the butcher said, p【4】at his own ears, “just these o【5】 ones.” It’s because he must have thought she was joking.
Her dad can cook a super “full English breakfast” and also does a t【6】. Sunday roast, but her mum says they’d better not eat too much roast food【7】 it may make them suffer from heat inside their bodies, according to traditional Chinese medicine.
When the author first visited China, she came across stinky tofu, which she thought smelt like a b【8】 sports shoe, but she g【9】 all her courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn’t so bad.
There is a saying that one man’s meat is another man’s p【10】, but the author feels at home with food from both cultures and she believes that there’s nothing better than a cross-cultural afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup.

It was a Friday afternoon in July, the last day of term. The school holidays were starting. Six weeks of freedom! Jenny was walking home in the hot sun. She always thought, “Is this just a nice day, or is it global warming?” But today she was happy and laughing, and full of plans for the holidays like going to the seaside, hanging out in the park, going to the cinema, and just lying in bed in the morning, doing nothing.
Later, at dinner, with the cooked chicken on the table, her family were talking about cars. Jenny said, “Dad, your car makes too much noise and causes too much pollution. You had better change it for a new one.” Her father agreed with her and said that he was tired of going to work by car every day. He decided to work at home sometimes, but it meant he was going to need an office. “Which room are you going to use?” asked Jenny. “Well, I need a lot of space. I will cut the old tree at the end of the garden and build a new office there.” Jenny said, “No! Please don’t cut the old tree!”But her father insisted, “Sorry. I have to.” Jenny was shocked. Her face turned red with anger, her eyes flashing. “That’s so unfair!” Jenny said, jumping up. She walked quickly to the door and said, “I’m leaving home. I will go to my grandpa who understands and cares about me!” Then she walked out. “Bang!” She shut the door behind her angrily.
Jenny ran up to her room. She was so upset that she couldn’t help sobbing. She couldn’t believe what she had heard. The old tree and her tree house! With tears in her eyes, she emptied her school bag and filled it up with clothes, her MP3 player, and her favorite books. Jenny waked quickly down the stairs towards the front door. But then she stopped. She couldn’t leave home. They were going to cut down her tree! What could she do?
