One day in elementary school, a friend asked me “What are you eating ” as she glanced at my lunchbox. “It smells,” she said, nose crinkled.
I was eating bhindi roti, my favorite Indian snack, which my mom had packed for me. But feeling embarrassed for having a “smelly” lunch and wanting to fit in, I quietly shut my lunchbox. That day, I went hungry.
Most days after that, lunchtime at school felt like a battle. If I wasn’t trying to hide my lunch or sneak quick bites when no one was looking, I’d insist on bringing in the same peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich as the other kids. My mom, who didn’t grow up eating American food, tried her best, but the sandwiches never looked, or tasted, as good as the food I devoured (津津有味地吃) at home.
I didn’t know that I wasn’t alone. Many kids with immigrant parents encounter (遭遇) what’s known as “the lunchbox moment” at school: the experience of being judged for bringing in food considered culturally different and so being made to feel like an outsider.
For this article, I talked with kids who could relate. But they also surprised me: They dealt with “the lunchbox moment” differently than I did. For example, Satya Singh, 6, who takes her mom’s Indian cooking to lunch most days, told me that one day a classmate said that her aloo, or potatoes, looked like poop. Another time, someone said that the dal, or lentils, looked like “throw up”. The next day, Satya brought enough dal to share with her entire class — and they loved it. From then on, she says, “My teacher at school made a rule: Don’t yuck someone’s yum.”
Looking back, I wish I’d had the wisdom of Satya and offered my friend a bite of my lunch, or just told her it was delicious — especially because now, as an adult, I see that Indian food is universally loved by my friends. Some even try to cook Indian lentils or chickpeas at home! And when I’m hungry, guess what I miss my mom’s bhindi roti and her care in making it for me. Food is an expression of culture, tradition, family and love. And that’s something to celebrate, not hide.
24. Why did the writer go hungry one day in elementary school
A. She didn’t like her smelly lunch. B. Her classmates ate up her bhindi roti.
C. Her mom didn’t prepare lunch for her. D. She skipped her lunch to fit in with others.
25. What can we infer about the writer according to the passage
A. She enjoyed the lunchtime at school.
B. Her parents are immigrants from India.
C. She liked peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich best.
D. She would bite her bhindi roti quickly when someone was looking.
26. How did Satya deal with “the lunchbox moment”
A. She threw away her lunch box.
B. She asked her teacher to make a rule.
C. She ate American food instead of her mom’s Indian cooking.
D. She brought more Indian cooking to share with her classmates.
27. What does the author want to tell us
A. Food is something to celebrate, not hide.
B. Never should you yuck someone’s yum in any case.
C. Indian food is delicious and universally appreciated.
D. The lunchbox moment is when one can taste different foods.
C
Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.
Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露) to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物) were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.
The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.
28. The text mainly discusses the relationship between ________.
A. heart problems and air quality B. heart problems and exercising
C. heart problems and smoking D. heart problems and fatty food
29. The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A. relatively high B. extremely low C. relatively low D. extremely high
30. What can we learn from the text
A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.
B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.
C. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking.
D. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.
31. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to ________.
A. inform B. persuade C. describe D. entertain
D
Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you’re unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don’t have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped (淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅), a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of hamburgers and eggs when you’re hungry.
Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart’s and Bach’s shouldn’t be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you’ve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, played a bit.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.
32. The author intends to tell us that ________.
A. true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means
B. big houses are people’s most valued possessions
C. big houses can in a sense bring richness of life
D. true happiness comes from spiritual riches
33. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that ________.
A. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied
B. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor
C. though their house is big, they prefer a simple life
D. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage
34. It can be learned from the passage that ________.
A. more money brings more happiness
B. art is needed to make your house beautiful
C. literature can enrich your spiritual life
D. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness
35. What would be the best title for the passage
A. House of Life B. Secret of Wealth
C. Rest and Refreshment D. Interest and Enthusiasm

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 36 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring people survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 38
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
40 For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A. It all depends on your character.
B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

Callie was a high school student. Because of her parents’ business, her family moved from London to Los Angeles, where she grew up.
Living in a quiet and warm community with her parents, Callie was very interested in various volunteer activities in the community, and almost no one in the community didn’t know her.
On a sunny afternoon, Callie was reading a poem when she heard a soft knock. She stood up at once and opened the door. Her favourite neighbor, Mrs. Baker, stood outside the door.
“I need your help, Callie,” Mrs. Baker said, “and do you know the empty lot (场地) down the street ” Callie nodded, smiling. “The place is a mess, covered with trash. The city is letting us use the lot as a community garden, “she explained.” We need help to clean up the lot on Saturday. “Sure, Mrs. Baker!” Callie said cheerfully. “I just have nothing to do this Saturday. I will be happy to help you!” Mrs. Baker looked pleased and said, “Thanks, Callie. We want to get the garden planted before summer. By then, adults and children in our community will have had a good place to go.”
At school the next morning, Callie’s close friend Tamara was waiting for her by their classroom, who had a surprise for her. Tamara said, “My mom bought tickets to Fun World this Saturday. She has an extra one for you!” The girls had been waiting for months for the amusement park (游乐场) to reopen.
Callie sighed and worried over how to choose for the rest of the day. Her mother noticed her mood (情绪) when she arrived home. “Did something go wrong at school ” her mother asked.
Callie explained her problem. “What should I do, Mom ” Callie asked. “I know you want to go with Tamara and also want to help Mrs. Baker. Think carefully about your choice, and you need to make your own decision. But I know you will do what is best,” her mother answered.

An Autumn Outing
Last Saturday witnessed a fabulous autumn outing organized by the Students’ Union. With the theme of “Getting Close to Nature”, the day-long event turned out to be refreshing and impressive.
As scheduled, we gathered together at 8: 30 am at the gate of our school. We went to our destination by bus, laughing and singing all the way. Much to our delight, the trip involved mountain climbing as well as a picnic. Hardly had we reached the top of the mountain when we enjoyed an awesome view of the whole city. With refreshing air and breathtaking scenery throughout the journey, all the students were greatly immersed in joy and happiness. Exhausted as we were on the way back to school, we all regarded this outing as an unforgettable experience.
Not only has this outing provided a platform for us to get close to nature with fresh air and fantastic scenery, but also it has enhanced our friendship and mutual cooperation. Hopefully, many more activities like this will be held in the future.

【写作思路】分析续写开头，推测故事走向。

（2）由续写第二段开头语可知，Callie在周六那天去街道另一端的空地见了Baker夫人，并在那里见到了自己的好朋友Tamara。由此可展开联想，Tamara与Callie一起帮忙打扫空地，Baker夫人对此表示感谢。
Paragraph 1:
Callie spent the evening thinking about her decision. There was no doubt that going to Fun World (动名词作从句的主语) would be interesting, but on second thoughts, helping clean up the lot should be more meaningful, because people in the community could be provided with a better environment. The next day at school, Callie apologised to Tamara for her not being able to go to the amusement park, which got Tamara down (which引导的非限制性定语从句. Tamara thought Callie didn’t attach too much importance to their friendship.
Paragraph 2:
On Saturday, Callie met Mrs. Baker at the empty lot and behind Mrs. Baker stood Tamara. “Hi, Callie,” Mrs. Baker said, “Your mother said you made a difficult choice (省略that的宾语从句), and thank you and your friend for helping us today.” “You’re welcome,” Callie said. Tamara smiled at Callie and said, “Knowing you made a promise that you would come to help clean up the lot (现在分词作状语，其中包含that引导的同位语从句), I am willing to do it with you. My mom said she would take us to Fun World next weekend.” Callie smiled and hugged Tamara, with tears running down her cheeks (with复合结构).
听力原文：
(1) M: Wonderful day, isn’t it Want to join me for a swim
W: I hope you don’t mind waiting while I get prepared.
(2) W: What’s the trouble Can I help you
M: Well, thanks, but I don’t think anybody can help really. Everything seems to happen at once. Mary was taken to hospital and Colin is on holiday; I’m really fed up with taking over other people’s jobs.
(3) M: Mary, how about going to the cinema tonight
W: I’d love to, but I have to go to the post office and then my sister and I must attend my aunt’s birthday party tonight.
M: What a pity! It’s really a good film.
(4) W: Are you going to weed the garden tomorrow afternoon
M: No. I’m going to paint the front door.
(5) W: Do you know Jane bought a new white evening dress
M: A white evening dress How do you like it
W: Very much. In fact, I’ve got a blue one, just like hers.
(6) W: Good afternoon, Dr. Anderson’s office.
M: Hello, my name is John Cremer, and I was hoping I could come in today to see the doctor.
W: Are you a patient of Dr. Anderson
M: Well, no. I’m in town at a conference and the manager of the hotel where I am staying suggested that I call you.
W: What seems to be the problem
M: Well, I got this ringing in my ears.
W: The doctor will be busy at the hospital until this evening. So the earliest you could see him would be tomorrow morning at ten.
M: I’ll come in then if that’s OK.
(7) W: Good morning, Mr. Green. I’m sorry I’m late.
M: You’re late every morning. You were late Monday, yesterday, and today. Don’t you have a watch
W: Yes. But it wasn’t my mistake. I stood in the rain for an hour this morning. I waited and waited for a bus, and then when the bus came, it was full.
M: How about yesterday and the day before yesterday
W: Well, I came by taxi yesterday but…
M: But you were still late. And what happened on Monday
W: On Monday I had a terrible sore throat and I had to go to see a doctor.
M: And tomorrow, Jean
(8) M: Linda, do you know where the Great Lakes are
W: Sure, they are in North America.
M: Oh, I thought they were in Europe.
W: Do you know what the Great Lakes are famous for
M: No, what
W: They are famous for being the largest freshwater lakes in North America.
M: Oh, really, that’s interesting.
W: I went there twice. I also saw Niagara Falls.
(9) W: I had such a terrible day yesterday that I’m really starting to believe that Friday the thirteenth is unlucky.
M: Why What happened
W: Everything went wrong. For example, I had to meet an important customer in the morning and on the way to the town, the car broke down. When I finally got there, the customer had already left.
M: That’s certainly bad luck.
W: That’s not all. In the afternoon, the children asked some kids over to play and they had a pillow fight and tore one of the pillows. When I got home there were feathers all over.
M: My goodness!
W: Wait! There’s more. Somebody, they won’t say who, had dropped a jar of jam on the new carpet. The dog had laid down on it, so they’d given him a bath and then put him on my bed.
M: Oh, no!
W: Oh, yes! And to make matters worse, my boss and his wife arrived while I was cleaning up the house. I had forgotten that I’d invited them for dinner.
(10) Many rules govern drivers on American streets and highways. The most common ones are the speed limit. The speed limit regulates how fast a car may go. On streets in the city, the speed limit is usually 25 or 35 miles per hour. On the highways between cities, the speed limit is usually 55 miles per hour. When people drive faster than the speed limit, a policeman can stop them. A policeman gives them pieces of paper which people call traffic tickets. Traffic tickets tell the drivers how much money they must pay. When drivers receive too many tickets, they probably cannot drive for a while. The rush hour is when people are going to work or going home. At the rush hours, there are many cars in the streets and traffic moves very slowly. Nearly all American cities have rush hours. Drivers do not get tickets very often for speeding at the rush hours because they cannot drive fast.
