It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of work, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our city offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger (陌生人) would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it made our confidence in humanity (人性) stronger as a whole. And it has also influenced us to be more mindful (在意的) of ways we can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be continuing for ever.
34. Why was the bike so important to the couple
A. They used it for work and daily life.
B. It was borrowed from their friend.
C. It was a nice Kona18 speed.
D. The man’s job was bike racing.
35. We can learn from the text that ________.
A. the couple worked 60 hours a week B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought only the bike D. life was hard for the young family
36. How did people get to know the couple’s problem
A. From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper.
C. From TV news. D. From a stranger.
37. What do the couple learn from their experience
A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous.
D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
C
Researchers have used very small electronic devices (电子设备) to make jellyfish (水母) stronger and faster. The scientists say they used these electronic jellyfish in the hopes of sending them to study and explore the world’s seas.
A report on the experiment was published in the magazine Science Advances. The study shows jellyfish are unusual living things. They move through seawater by reducing the size of their muscles. For the experiment, the researchers put an electronic device, about 2 centimeters in length, inside a moon jellyfish, a common kind of jellyfish.
The researchers said the device caused jellyfish to move their bodies more often. They swam around three times faster than usual. “Jellyfish are known to produce something from time to time when they are feeling stressed. No such action appeared during the study. Care is taken to the jelly fish,” Dabiri explained. “The jellyfish swam the same when the electronic device was taken away after the experiment,” the researchers said.
“It’s very unusual and modern. It seems to happen only in the future.” said Xu, an engineer at Stanford University. “We could send these jellyfish to different areas of the sea to get signs of climate change or have a close watch on nature.” “One of the first purposes will be going deep,” added Dabiri. “Going deep is important because humans need to understand the deep seas.”
“Generally, we’d put these jellyfish at the surface, have them swim down to increasing depths, and make them back to the surface with data (数据). Before that the electronic devices help us see just how far we can get them to go down into the sea,” Xu said.
“Jellyfish have lived on earth for over 500 million years, and over that time, their bodies have nearly remained unchanged.” said Xu. “So it’s interesting to find out what makes them so special in the sea and how we can learn from them.” Xu added. “We use animals with natural swimming abilities instead of submarines (潜水艇) which might harm the environment.”
38. What happened to a jellyfish during the experiment
A. It reduced its muscle size and swam faster.
B. It swam around four times faster than usual.
C. It felt stressed and sometimes produced things.
D. It swam more slowly with the electronic device.
39. Which of the following is the correct order of the experiment
a. Make the jellyfish back with data. b. Put the jellyfish at the surface.
c. Make the jellyfish swim down. d. Put electronic devices on jellyfish.
A. b—d—a—c B. d—b—c—a C. b—c—d—a D. d—a—b—c
40. Scientists used jellyfish in the experiment because jellyfish ________.
A. are special and not bad for environment
B. have already lived on earth for a long time
C. help us protect environment like submarines
D. can move faster and become larger in the sea
41. What is the passage mainly about
A. Researchers find new ways to protect nature.
B. Jellyfish become faster with electronic devices.
C. Scientists use jellyfish to explore the deep seas.
D. Jellyfish are important in protecting environment.
D
Who is a genius (天才) This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent (聪明的) or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for entering the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged (不认可的) and refused by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender (性别) are “really, really smart”. Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart”. Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: of course not.
Here’s the good news. In a world with increased global communication, we’re all lucky to see flashes (瞬间) of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors (因素) like gender, race, and class do not decide the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple good luck, who are able to change the world”.
42. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club
A. They’re unfair. B. They’re old-fashioned.
C. They’re acceptable. D. They’re strict.
43. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.
44. Why are more geniuses known to the public
A. Improved global communication. B. Less discrimination (歧视) against women.
C. Acceptance of victors’ ideas. D. Changes in people’s social positions.
45. What does the writer suggest about future geniuses
A. They will mostly come from Europe.
B. They will mainly depend on personal abilities and luck.
C. They will be decided by social factors like gender and race.
D. They will only appear in scientific fields.

The boat arrived at a small town, and Legree and his slaves got off. Tom and the other men walked all the way to the plantation.
They stopped in front of a house. It was large, but it looked empty and uncomfortable, the glass of some windows was broken and there were bits of wood and boxes on the ground. Two slaves, Sambo and Quimbo, were Legree’s two main helpers on the plantation, and they arrived with dogs.
“Don’t try to run away,” said Legree to Tom and the others, “or the dogs will follow you.”
“Sambo,” said Legree, “take these new slaves down to the cabins.”
The slaves followed Sambo to the cabins. They were in a row, near the plantation and far from the house. Tom’s heart sank when he saw them. Each one had only one room, without any furniture.
They had to wait in line for their turn to cook a very poor meal. Then they all went to sleep on the floor in the cabins.
Every day, from early in the morning until late in the evening, under the hot sun the slaves picked cotton. When they finished, Legree weighed it, and there was whipping (鞭打) for the slaves who didn’t pick enough cotton. Tom learnt to pick cotton quickly.
One day, Tom noticed an older slave Martha was in pain and slow. Her sack was almost empty. Tom went near Martha, and silently put a lot of his cotton into her sack.
“No don’t!” said the woman, looking surprised. “They will punish you.”
Just then Sambo arrived, kicked Martha and whipped Tom across his face. Martha fell down. “Work faster, you animal!” But when he left, Tom quickly gave her some more of his cotton. Suddenly, the beautiful new woman put a large quantity of cotton in Tom’s sack.

【答案】例文
Nowadays, our country practises strict economy and combats waste. As middle school students, we should start with the things around us.
First of all, it’s a good idea to develop healthy eating habits and value food. I don’t order too much food unless I can finish it all when I eat at restaurants.
Second, it’s important to save water because we cannot live without it. I often save water by taking shorter showers. Besides, I turn off the tap when brushing teeth.
Third, saving energy matters a lot. When I leave the room, I always remember to turn off all the lights. Also, I take my own bag to the supermarket and use both sides of the paper.
Last but not least, I also pay attention to saving money. I don’t spend money on what I don’t need. Instead, I save my pocket money for my further education.
Everyone can try his best to play a role in creating a better society.
