We can do this now though we’re only fifth graders and just imagine what we can do in the future,” Holt said.”（“我很高兴我们走了这么远。虽然我们现在只是五年级学生，但我们可以做到这一点，想象一下我们将来可以做什么。”霍尔特说。）可推知，这两个女孩是有创造力的，且十分自信的。故选B项。

第一节：
Dear Tom,
I’m writing to tell you something about my new school life. I love my school very much, which is big and beautiful. What’s more, all the teachers and students are friendly and enthusiastic.
However, I find it a little hard to get used to the senior school life. The subjects we are learning are obviously more difficult, especially English. Besides, with endless homework to do, I almost have no time for exercise and other activities. I feel greatly stressed. I wonder if you have ever had such trouble. I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节：
Just at that moment, many memories came back into my mind. When I was ill, she was always the one taking care of me. When I had trouble with my study, she never lost faith in me and encouraged me to keep going. When I arrived home during the weekend, she always prepared my favorite food. All her kindness came back to me. I should be grateful for all she had done for me. I realized I should go back home immediately and say sorry to my mother.
When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. She must have been looking for me everywhere. I was ready for her anger and shouts. However, before I could apologize, my mother saw me and gently said, “Oh honey, thank God you’re back! Come inside. You are probably very hungry. I cooked your favorite e and eat while they are still hot…”No longer able to control myself, I cried in her arms. “I’m sorry, mom. Please forgive me.” I whispered to her through tears, extremely ashamed of myself.期中考试练习一

It's often said that we human beings can dream in a foreign language. Could dreaming in a foreign language improve our memory Does dreaming in a foreign language mean we are making progress in learning that language
Before we look at multilingual (多语言)dreams, first we need to look at sleep. The connection between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language, including our native language. Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language. But, if we are going to remember that new word better, what matters is that we need to connect it with what we have learned. And in order to do that, we "heed to have some sleep", says Gareth Gaskell, a professor at the University of York
It's during sleep that the integration(整合)of old and new knowledge happens. At might, one part of our brain—the hippocampus—takes whatever new information it receives during the day and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored. The role that dreams play. in this night-time learning process is still being studied, but "it's entirely possible that during multilingual dreams, the brain is trying to connect the two languages", says Marce, a researcher at a university in Bern. Switzerland.
So having multilingual dreams could mean that our brain is trying to remember a new word or phrase. However, it could also have an emotional(情感)significance. Danuta, a professor of psycholinguistics at the University of Silesia in Poland, suggests that multilingual dreams can express "fears or wishes" around learning a foreign language, including the wish to be a local speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.
We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams, but one thing seems certain: if you're trying to learn a new language, you can sleep on it.
28. Why does the author mention questions in paragraph 1
A. To compare different ideas. B. To introduce the main topic.
C. To present different types of dreams. D. To discuss the human language ability.
29. What is the key element in memorizing a new word according to the text
A. The other new words. B. The native language.
C. The gained knowledge. D. The speaking practice.
30. What can we learn about multilingual dreams
A. They may influence people's sleep quality. B. They can reflect language-learning feelings.
C. They are the best option to learn a language. D. They help to clear up the useless information.
31. Where is the text most likely from
A. A novel. B. A diary. C. A guidebook. D. A magazine.
D
People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new solution called Seatrac, which allows people in wheelchairs to get into the water on their own.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving walkway that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water, or go for a swim. The chair can be controlled from a long distance. When the person is ready to get out of the water, the Seatrac system(系统)brings the chair back to the top of the walkway.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The fiend expressed his enjoyment of the sea but disliked being carried into the ocean like "a bag of potatoes". Fotiou realized there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water. He worked with his partners to design the system, finally forming a company called TOBEA to build and sell the system.
TOBEA works on making the system simple to put in place and easy to control. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach Seatrac. The system is solar-powered(太阳能)and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can be easily packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.
Greece has decided to open 287 beaches for people with disabilities. 140 beaches have set up the system and the remaining 147 will build the system in the future. The new Seatrac service is being provided for free to help attract more tourists to the country. TOBEA will offer a website showing where beaches with the special service can be found.
