24、

Karie checked the words carefully on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s Spelling Challenge and a new dictionary. Plus, Ms. Green had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.

Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled honesty, not honestly! She deleted the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.

After the break, Ms. Green walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. Then, as if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. Green’s feet flipped into the air. “Congratulations, Karie! You did it!” she announced while upside down. The whole class cheered! Ms. Green presented Karie with her prize. Karie smiled happily for her perfect in spelling.

After school, Karie rushed in to her home. “Everything’s PERFECT”she shouted, showing Mom her spelling test and prize. Karie picked up her cat. “Can you spell nicely, Casper? And quickly and honesly, and ...” Karie’s stomach tumbled(坍塌) to the floor. Honesly? H-O-N-E-S-L-Y!

After that, Karie stepped down the hall and fell onto her bed. How could she tell the class she hadn’t earned the prize after all? That Ms. Green did the handstand for nothing? Karie pulled out the test paper. It wasn’t her fault that Ms. Green had given her the prize. Shouldn’t Ms. Green have been more careful when grading her test? If, no one would ever know.

The next morning, Karie’s hands shook. She gave her teacher the spelling paper and the dictionary. “I can’t keep this. I misspelled honestly and you didn’t catch it.” “I see.” For a moment, Ms. Green picked up the pen. She crossed out the word “perfect” and wrote “honest” before handing the dictionary back to Karie. “I get to keep this? Honestly?” “For honestly, no.” Ms. Green smiled, “But for honesty, yes.”

25、①Confucius, who was born more than two thousand years ago, is one of the most important Chinese philosophers (哲学家). After all these years, his influence is still strong in modern times.

②Unlike the abstract (抽象的) philosophy of Laozi, Confucian ideas about right and wrong are easy to understand and connected to daily life. “It’s all about the everyday. It’s all about family,” Roger Ames, a Confucius expert at Peking University, told China Daily.

③For example, many Chinese learn at an early age to “be filial (孝顺的) to parents and respectful to brothers”. Confucius believed that if everyone knows how to love their families, they will know how to love others, love their country and love the world.

④“Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you” is the favorite Confucius idea of Guo Jiulin, a professor at Dalian Minzu University. “It reminds me that if a person wants to achieve his social dreams, he must first be strict with himself in words and behaviors,” he told China Daily.

⑤Another important Confucian idea is he, or harmony (和谐). Sun Yiting, a student from Zhejiang University, values it. “It reminds me to calm down when I get angry,” she told TEENS. “It reminds me to put oneself in others’ shoes. This way of thinking makes my life much happier.”

⑥Confucian ideas can even be connected to today’s global problems, according to Ames.

⑦“Confucius believed that the only way I can take my stand is by helping other people take theirs. If my neighbor does better, I do better. That’s the Confucian wisdom (智慧). This is really needed in the world today,” said Ames.

⑧“Global warming, food and water shortages, environmental problems, international terrorism (恐怖主义). We can solve these problems only if we work together.”

【1】From the passage, we know that ________.

A．Confucius asked people to be strict with others

B．Confucian’s influence was only strong in ancient times

C．Confucius encouraged people to love parents and respect brothers

D．Confucian’s ideas about right and wrong are difficult to understand

【2】According to Ames, which of Confucian’s ideas can be used to solve today’s global problems?

A．He, or harmony

B．Be filial to parents and respectful to brothers

C．Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you

D．The only way I can take my stand is by helping other people take theirs.

【3】The underlined phrase in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.

A．put on others’ shoes

B．ask for others’ advice

26、When animals and plants use color to be noticed, it is called advertising coloration (着色). Advertising coloration can be used to either warn or attract animals.

The bright colors of flowers and berries are advertising coloration that attract animals. Flowers need to be pollinated (授粉) to reproduce. Bees and hummingbirds are attracted to bright colors and will pollinate the flowers. Some pollinated plants will produce berries. These berries will turn a bright color when they are ripe. The bright color lets berry-eating birds know the fruit is sweet and safe to eat. After birds eat the berries, the seeds will pass through their digestive system and be left behind. Some of the seeds left behind will grow into new plants!

Color is also used to attract mates (配偶). Many male birds like the northern cardinal are brightly colored to attract females. Bright feathers can be a sign of how healthy the bird is! Female birds are naturally attracted to healthier males because their offspring will be healthier. And they can raise little ones more easily. Female birds are often less colorful. This helps hide them when they are nesting.

Advertising coloration is also used to warn animals away. The ladybug has bright orange wings with black spots. Its coloring warns meat-eating animals that the ladybug tastes awful. The striped skunk (带条纹的臭鼬) has white stripes that are a warning to meat-eating animals that they may be in for an unpleasant surprise if they try to attack.

Some animals, like the red-eyed tree frog, may scare enemies away with their color. Red-eyed tree frogs sleep during the day. If a meat-eating animal comes up to them and they open their eyes, the bright red color of their eyes might shock the animal long enough to give the red-eyed tree frog time to hop away to safety.

【1】Go through the passage and figure out the structure of the passage.

A．

B．

C．

D．

【2】Which of the following is the correct order of the events according to Paragraph 2?

a. Birds eat the berries. b. Seeds grow into new plants.

c. Some plants produce berries. d. Bees pollinate the flowers.

e. These berries turn a bright color. f. The flowers have bright colors.

A．a→b→f→e→d→c

B．e→c→a→b→f→d

C．f→d→c→e→a→b

D．b→e→a→c→f→d

【3】Read the sentence from the passage “And they can raise little ones more easily". In which sentence does the word “raise” have the same meaning as the underlined word in the text?

A．My boss promised me a raise in wage.

B．The soldier raised both arms above his head.

C．They are proud to raise such a fine son.

D．The charity is raising money to help earthquake victims.

【4】Which of the following is true?

28、Shanghaihua (上海话)：use it or lose it

There are about 6.000 languages in the world and some experts say that as many as half of these languages will disappear in the next one hundred years. Will Shanghaihua be one of t【1】? It’s a question that more people are asking.

In China, Putonghua is the official language. That m【2】 it’s the language of government business and the media（媒体）. And it’s also the language that is used in schools.

Shanghai is a special city. It is modern fashionable and sophisticated (老练的). And Shanghaihua shows that by being modern, fashionable and sophisticated. “I love riding on the b【3】  and listening to people speaking Shanghaihua.”Miss Evans, an American reporter said.“I don’t understand a word they are saying but I like the s【4】 of the language. It sounds smoother than Putonghua. And Shanghainese like things “ renao ”（热闹）so even a discussion about the weather can sound like an argument or a party. My bus rides are a【5】 interesting.”

Young people still speak Shanghaihua but not as well as their parents and grandparents. They are under more and more pressure（压力）to speak Putonghua. So the language is being used l【6】 often in everyday life. Some people want to keep the language from d【7】 completely by building museums and having cultural festivals to save it. But a language isn’t a painting or a book. It’s a living thing and you e【8】 use it or lose it.

If people stop using it in their d【9】 lives, a museum or a festival will not h【10】. It will be lost forever like the Yangtze River dolphin.
