A Tale of Highly Unusual Magic
Genre: Fantasy
Number of Pages: 320
What’s the basic story line
Kai and Leila have never met, but their seemingly dull lives will be drawn together in unbelievable ways. Each girl is vacationing—Kai in Texas and Leila in Pakistan. Each girl finds a copy of a book called The Exquisite Corpse. Each book is blank, but when Kai writes a sentence, the book magically begins a story. When either girl writes another phrase, the book shows more. Whatever the girls are doing when they write—getting attacked by a dog, hunting for a rare species, accidentally buying a goat—helps to develop the plot of The Exquisite Corpse. It also makes reading A Tale of Highly Unusual Magic even more enjoyable.
Are the characters believable Many aspects of the characters are realistic. Readers see that the characters, like all of us, can sometimes fail. Also, both characters have some unflattering (不讨人喜欢的) qualities, even though they’re represented as “the good guys” in the story.
Who would like this book Any lover of fantasy and stories about magic would enjoy this book. Readers who enjoy knowing things the characters don’t, or who like being shocked by a huge plot twist (曲折的情节),will like this book.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate this book I would rate A Tale of Highly Unusual Magic a perfect 10, because of the creative story idea and the crazy plot twists that keep the reader turning page after page. I, for one, did not want the story to end.

It lasted just 24 seconds, but it’s an unforgettable moment that has caught hearts everywhere. During a basketball game at Zeeland East High School in Zeeland, Michigan, the crowd fell quiet, giving high school junior Jules Hoogland an opportunity to take a shot.
Hoogland, who is blind, followed along as a woman tapped (轻敲) a yellow pole against the backboard and a teammate guided her to the perfect position. Thirteen seconds later, the 11th grader nailed a free throw and the silent audience erupted in roaring cheers and applause.
Zeeland Public Schools shared the extraordinary moment, filmed by Brandy Navetta, the school district’s communications and marketing director on Twitter, along with the words, “You thought national basketball tournaments were infusive, but Zeeland Public Schools Unified Basketball took over the court this morning. And the crowd went wild!”
Hoogland’s mom Karen said she was so proud of her achievement. She also praised the young students for their respect and sensitivity towards her daughter. Hoogland set a new record on what blind people can achieve and wanted this video to inspire all those who are facing challenges. “I’m hoping this video will inspire others to keep trying no matter what their challenges are,” she said.
Students from both Zeeland East and Zeeland West High School witnessed Hoogland’s uplifting shot, part of an inclusive basketball game with zLinks. Nathan VandeGuchte, a special education teacher with Zeeland West, added that inclusive sports has made a significant impact on students at Zeeland schools since the zLinks program started. “It was so moving to see Hoogland hit that shot again in front of 2,500 people,” said Nathan. “The lens (视角) with which many of our special education students are viewed has now been forever changed. They know that they are important, and they recognize that they are contributing members of our student body!”
25．Why did the crowd go wild as Hoogland nailed a free throw
A．Because she couldn’t see. B．Because she was competitive.
C．Because it was her first shot. D．Because it was the end of the game.
26．What does the underlined word “infusive” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Addictive. B．Puzzling.
C．Informative. D．Exciting.
27．What message does Hoogland convey to us through her story
A．Dream big, dream early. B．Never fear to fight challenges.
C．Interest is the best teacher. D．The more one does, the more one can do.
28．What can we infer about the special education students from Nathan’s words
A．They were usually overestimated.
B．They got confidence from the program.
C．They should be given more opportunities.
D．They were eager to explore the unknown.
My teenage son Karl became withdrawn (内向的) after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and begged for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I cried and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school but nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time,” and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year ” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

C．She asked Karl’s best friend to talk to Karl.
D．She went to see the school adviser in person.
30．What does the underlined sentence “he even made the honor roll” mean
A．He was even on the list to be punished.
B．He was even on the list of students who were lazy.
C．He was even on the list of the best students at school.
D．He was even on the list of students who were always late for school.
31．What is the main idea of this passage
A．Mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life.
B．Being understood by parents is very important to teenagers.
C．Children in single-parent families often have mental problems.
D．School education doesn’t work without full support from parents.
It was the men’s skating finals of the Winter Olympics when I was 16. Someday I’d be in the Olympics. In fact, it was my dream.
That night I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brians: American Brian Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada. Both of them had been world champions. Both of them deserved to win. Naturally I was for Brian Boitano, a northern Californian like me. We had skated on the same ice. I held my breath in amazement. Boitano performed successfully. The gold medal! I jumped in the air when his score went up.
But what happened next is what I’ll never forget. Brian Boitano sat in front of the camera with his coach, surrounded by a group of journalists. He was talking about his career and his medal, talking to the whole world. A terrible sinking feeling went through me. I could never be in the Olympics, I thought. I could not talk in public like that. Just the idea of a press conference terrified me.
I loved skating partly because I didn’t have to talk. I could express myself with my jumps and dances better. I didn’t have to stand up and give a speech like some teachers expected. I could feel the blood rush to my face if I thought a teacher was going to call me. I stared at my shoes. I was sure I’d make a fool of myself.
The next day I was at the rink (溜冰场)as usual. I was practising a combination of jumps that had once seemed impossible. I worked very hard the next few years — on the ice and especially off. After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them, I got to know them. They became familiar faces. And they got to know me. So when my big moment came four years after Brians, I was ready. Sometimes I think my biggest accomplishment was not winning the gold but talking to the press afterwards. When you do the thing you fear most, you put an end to fear.
Fear can stop you dead in your tracks. Fear can kill a dream. What are you afraid of What scares you more than anything else This year, walk right up to it and conquer it, step by step.
32．What information can we get from the second paragraph
A．The author lived a hard life.
B．The author comes from Canada.
C．The author once skated with Orser.
D．The author wished Boitano to win the match
33．What is one of the reasons why the author liked skating according to the passage
A．She could build up her body to be healthier.
B．It could help her to get closer to her idol.
C．She could better express herself with body language.
D．The possibility of her being a world champion was great.
34．What the author felt the most satisfied with is that ____.
A．she lived up to her coaches expectations
B．she became a world champion as planned
C．she managed to overcome her inner fear eventually
D．she handled the balance between her career and life
35．What does the author mainly want to tell us
A．Face a fear bravely.
B．Practice makes perfect.
C．Bad times make a good man.
D．Failure is the mother of success.
As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult. 36 Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about making choices. In this way you can make healthy balanced decisions. 37 You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.
Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. 38 But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself.
It is also perfectly natural at this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. 39 A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens.
This period is a part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey. There will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not even see all of your classmates again.
You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. 40 So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!
A．Choose your friends wisely.
B．They will help shape the future.
C．They may seem to happen quickly.
D．You will probably want to be independent.
E．You may appreciate what you have in your own life.
F．The choices that you make from now on will be your choices.
G．Your family has been with you since you came into this world.
Do you remember your kindergarten teacher I do. Her name is Mrs White.
I don’t remember much about what we learned in her 41 , but my mother once told me we used to 42 a lot. And I would 43 what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many 44 , but no red corrections. Instead, there was always a star, sometimes even a “Good”! That made my heart filled with 45 , but worried my mother. So one day when she met Mrs White, she asked her why she never red-penciled the wrong 46 of words or pointed out grammatical errors.
My mother told me Mrs White said, “The children are just 47 to get excited about using words, about 48 sentences. I don’t want to dampen (减弱) that 49 with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait. The wonder of words won’t...” And maybe she didn’t 50 it exactly like that because it was a long time ago and what my mother told me was just what she could 51 .
Thanks to Mrs White, I 52 up learning to use words with 53 . I had no worry about writing what I 54 even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. A thought comes into my mind that if Mrs White had used her red pen precisely, I 55 wouldn’t be telling you about this now.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“You’re fired!” Andrew Chilton wasn’t joking. At that moment, the high school junior wanted his personal care attendant, Christy Chachere, out of his life forever. He didn’t want her help any more. He thought he could write his own term papers. “You’re fired!” He said it again.
Christy Chachere, a retired PE teacher, didn’t take a step back. She believed she could do this job. “You know, I’ve taught middle schoolers,” she said. What about Andrew’s outcry It was music to her ears. Progress was faster than expected.
When Andrew suffered from autism (自闭症) at age eight, people told his mom, Cindy, to get him on the list for an attendant to provide after-school care. Someone would drive him to places and see that he was safe. In New Orleans, Louisiana, the wait can be years, the need far outstrips (超过) the supply. Cindy had no choice but to turn to the program Volunteers of America for help.
Even so, it was eight years before they were matched with Christy. In the meantime. Andrew’s family did their best to help him get through life’s hardships. “I did worry about him,” said Cindy. There was a lot to worry about. Doctors and school teachers said that Andrew might not even graduate from high school. Other questions were around the corner as well. Would he ever have a job, or live independently …Cindy would do anything for her son.
Christy saw the problem right away. “Andrew wouldn’t take a step without his mother’s permission (同意),”she recalled. “You have to let him fail,” she told the family. “It’s the only way he’s going to learn. He has to be able to do things on his own.”
No longer would Cindy help Andrew write papers. His younger brother wouldn’t help him with the computer, either. It was a little unacceptable to step back. Actually, everyone was on board but Andrew.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Andrew was filled with anger, but things began to change.

66．Tips on setting effective goals
Setting goals is important in many ways. The following tips may help us set effective goals.
Set goals that can be achieved. You should set goals based on your abilities and skills.
Break big goals down into small ones. When you do so, they will seem easier to reach, which will give you the encouragement to achieve your long-term goal.
Write your goals on paper. It is a good idea to put your goals where you can see them, such as on your bedroom wall. This will remind you of what you are working for and keep you focused.
67．Andrew was filled with anger, but things began to change. Soon, Christy would no longer write Andrew’s papers for him and wouldn’t be helping him with homework either. Andrew would start on his homework after school. Christy patiently showed him how to get organized. And she coached him on how to deal with disappointment. Once his work was done, Christy offered freedom. She’d take him to the bookstore, the movies, or out to eat his favorite food.
“She understood me, and it turned out she was really nice.” Andrew said. One step at a time, Andrew gained independence. He graduated from high school and entered community college. He’s working toward an associate’s degree in video game design. He’s studying to get his learner’s permit to drive. Now, Andrew lives a normal life as everyone with delight. He says life has never been better. There is no doubt that Andrew and Christy have done it together.
