Text 2
W: What about this two-bedroom apartment It’s right in the heart of the city.

Text 5
M: So, anyway, there I was, sitting in my boss’s office. All of a sudden, the phone rang and my boss said…
W: Sorry to interrupt, honey, but I think the baby’s crying. Could you go and check on her And maybe give her the bottle
Text 6
M: What did you do last Saturday
W: I went with my friend Molly to the mall. I bought some new shoes. I wanted a new dress, but I couldn’t find anything that looked good on me.
M: What did Molly get
W: She bought a new pair of pants. Then we went to see a movie, and after that, we ate ice cream. What did you do
M: I went out to eat with my dad. Then we just came home and watched television. It was a nice, quiet evening.
Text 7
M: Hi, Lucy. What are you doing in the library
W: Hi, Jim. I’m in a hurry to do a presentation, but the classroom is on the other side of the school. I have only 10 minutes left. I have to go now.
M: It is raining outside. Did you bring an umbrella with you
W: God, I left it at home before I went to school this morning. What should I do right now
M: Don’t worry, Lucy. I have an umbrella in my gym locker. I can lend you my umbrella. Would you stay here and wait for me
W: That’s very nice of you, Jim, but the gym is too far away from here. I can’t wait any longer, or else I will be late. Don’t bother. I’ll go at once.
Text 8
W: Do you still like reading newspapers or magazines, Mark
M: No. Now I often read news on some famous news sites. It’s more convenient.
W: Is there any impressive news today
M: Yes. The news about a vending machine that bakes a pizza in three minutes.
W: Baking a pizza in three minutes That’s really unbelievable. So is it in the US
M: No. It’s in Rome. The machine is called “Mr Go Pizza”. It offers four different kinds of pizzas which cost between $5 and $7. There’s a small glass window that allows customers to watch as their pizza bakes.
W: So what about the pizza Does it taste good
M: Some people called the pizza “terrible”; others were kinder. They said the pizza was OK, but they also said it was not pizza.
W: Well, Italy is well-known for its pizzas. There are so many restaurants that sell pizzas. I don’t think such a machine will be successful there.
M: I doubt it, too. But the machine has an advantage.
W: What is it
M: It offers 24-hour service. It is very useful if you’re hungry late at night.
Text 9
W: What do you think of social media
M: I have mixed feelings about it. I like it because I can keep in touch with people I don’t talk to very often. But I think that people use it too much. What about you
W: I love it. I love posting photos and getting comments.
M: Sometimes I think people use it just to get popular. I like it when my friends post articles about important issues, not just photos of themselves. Do you have a Twitter account
W: Yes, I also have Instagram and Facebook accounts.
M: I only have Facebook.I usually post links to what I think is interesting. But sometimes I post my writing.
W: I only really post photos of myself. All of my friends do, too.
M: I would have probably done that when I was 15 as well, but I didn’t have social media back then. When you’re 30 like me, you probably won’t want to post photos of yourself any more.
W: Sarah does it and she is 29.
Text 10
M: Good morning, boys and girls. I’d like to welcome you all to Langley College to attend this speech. Our first classes are next Wednesday, but today you have a chance to visit the college. We’re very lucky to have a modern sports centre for you to use. It’s not expensive. You only pay 69 dollars to become a member of the sports centre for 12 months, or you can pay 7 dollars each time you go. We also have a cafe which is open on weekdays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. You’ll meet your teachers at 4 pm today to get more information about your course, but if you have any questions about the college, you can speak to Mrs Brown. She is here from Monday to Friday but if you can’t come in, you can call her on 99365412. When you come back on Wednesday, you’ll need to give us a photo. We need that for your student card. The card will be ready for you to collect next Friday. That’s all from me. Thank you for listening.

第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了国际志愿者组织International Volunteer HQ的几个受欢迎的南非海外志愿者项目。
21.C　细节理解题。根据Animal Care in Cape Town部分中的“Duration: 2 weeks (from August 12 to 26)”可知,该志愿者项目从8月12日开始;根据Childcare in Cape Town部分中的“Duration: 4 weeks (from August 5 to September 2)”可知,该志愿者项目开始于8月5日;根据Holiday Club in Table View部分中的“Duration: 3 weeks (from July 9 to 30)”可知,该志愿者项目开始于7月9日;根据Sports Development in Table View部分中的“Duration: 6 weeks (from July 21 to September 1)”可知,该志愿者项目开始于7月21日,综合以上信息可知,这四个志愿者项目中开始最早的是Holiday Club in Table View。故选C项。
22.A　细节理解题。根据Animal Care in Cape Town部分中的“Duration: 2 weeks (from August 12 to 26) Fees: $200 per week”可知,该志愿者项目持续两周,费用是每周200美元,所以应付400美元。故选A项。
23.D　细节理解题。根据Sports Development in Table View部分中的“Through the Sports Development project, volunteers support after-school projects by helping more disadvantaged students practise and play a range of sports. Play local sports or introduce your own to students aged from 6 to 15, encouraging improvement, teamwork and fun.”可知,该项目的志愿者帮助更多弱势学生练习和参加一系列的体育运动,参加当地的体育运动或者向6至15岁的孩子介绍自己的运动,由此可推知,该志愿者项目的志愿者应该吸引更多学生参加体育运动。故选D项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Amy Jandrisevits创办了非营利组织A Doll Like Me,通过制作玩具娃娃帮助残疾儿童度过艰难岁月。
24.B　细节理解题。根据第一段“Many of the kids saw themselves in those good dolls, but for the kids who had lost their legs or hair, there were none they could relate to.”和最后一段“Every kid, regardless of age or body type, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own.”可知,在Jandrisevits眼中,好的玩具娃娃的价值是让病人在玩具娃娃身上看到自己。故选B。
25.A　细节理解题。根据第四段“Word spread, and soon Jandrisevits made dolls for children with different physical defects (缺陷)—in short, dolls that looked like them.”可知,Jandrisevits专门给残疾儿童制作玩具娃娃。故选A。
26.D　推理判断题。根据第二段“So, eight years ago, when a friend said that her child was disabled, Jandrisevits knew what might help the youth through the challenging period. ‘It’s hard to tell a kid, “You are perfect the way you are”, and it is important to build the kids’ self-confidence,’ she says.”和第三段“She made a doll by hand, which looked like her friend’s child and sent it off. After the friend posted a photo of the happy child and doll online, another woman asked Jandrisevits to make a doll that looked like her baby, who had lost a leg.”可知,Jandrisevits听说朋友的孩子有残疾,就亲手制作了一个玩具娃娃鼓励她,帮助她建立自信,此后还帮失去一条腿的孩子制作了玩具娃娃。由此可推知,Jandrisevits乐于助人且心灵手巧。故选D。
27.B　主旨大意题。根据第一段“Amy Jandrisevits knows the value of a good doll. ‘Dolls have a power we don’t completely understand,’ she says. It’s a conclusion she came to while working as a pediatric oncology (儿科肿瘤学) social worker using dolls to help her young patients adapt to their changing medical situations.”以及倒数第二段“She quit her job and started a non-profit, A Doll Like Me.”可知,本文主要讲述了Amy Jandrisevits在工作过程中发现玩具娃娃可以帮助孩子们适应不断变化的医疗状况,并付诸行动,创办了非营利组织A Doll Like Me,制作和孩子们具有同样特征的玩具娃娃,帮助孩子们度过人生中的艰难岁月。因此B项“Jandrisevits made dolls to encourage the disabled kids.”(Jandrisevits制作玩具娃娃来鼓励残疾儿童。)可以概括文章大意。故选B。
C
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了光环效应及其对消费者的影响。
28.D　细节理解题。根据第一段“It describes our tendency to judge a wider concept from our experience of a single moment or interaction. That is, your experience of using a product may colour your impression of an entire brand.”(它描述了我们倾向于根据我们在某个时刻或互动中的经验来判断一个更?泛的概念。也就是说,你使用产品的经历可能会影响你对整个品牌的印象。)可知,光环效应通过我们以往的经历来影响我们的看法。故选D项。
29.C　细节理解题。根据第三段“Advertisers want to back winners, especially those on big stages. The Olympics, the World Cup and the Super Bowl all attract huge amounts of advertising spend. Why Because when sports stars win big, they create huge numbers of feel-good factors and brands can use the halo effect to project some of those feel-good factors onto themselves.”(?告商希望支持赢家,尤其是那些在大舞台上的赢家。奥运会、世界杯和超级碗都吸引了大量的?告开支。为什么 因为当体育明星大获成功时,他们创造出大量的感觉良好因素,而品牌可以利用光环效应将那些感觉良好因素投射到自己身上。)可知,?告商支持大赛事的赢家是因为体育明星大获成功时会创造积极的情绪影响,而?告商可以将他们的品牌与这种积极情绪联系起来。故选C项。
30.B　推理判断题。根据第四段“Studies have shown that when a product has a label that is either fair trade, sustainably sourced or organic in nature, it will receive higher ratings in customer satisfaction and people will pay more for it. In a blind taste test though, that’s not necessarily the case. The product could be considered poor in taste or quality, but the act of adding a certain label to the packaging increases people’s liking for it.”(研究表明,当一个产品有一个标签,要么是公平贸易、有着可持续来源的,要么是有机性质的,它将获得更高的客户满意度评级,人们会为它花更多的钱。但在盲品测试中,情况并非如此。该产品可能被认为味道或质量差,但在包装上添加某种标签的行为会增加人们对它的喜爱程度。)可知,在商品包装上添加某种标签会增加人们对其的喜爱程度,尽管该产品可能质量不好,由此可推知,光环效应会导致不正确的判断。故选B项。
31.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段“The halo effect is a bias we cannot escape. It is in action everywhere in the modern world. Every high-end product you experience leaves a lasting impression and every advertisement that catches your eye is wanting to direct your attention towards something you may not have otherwise been interested in. As a consumer, be careful. There are businesses that will go to any extent to influence your behaviour. Next time you find yourself really wanting something, stop and ask yourself why.”(光环效应是我们无法摆脱的偏见。它在现代世界中无处不在。你体验到的每一个高端产品都会给你留下持久的印象,每一个吸引你眼球的?告都在想把你的注意力引向你可能不感兴趣的东西上。作为消费者,要小心。有些企业会在任何程度上影响你的行为。下次当你发现自己真的很想要某样东西时,停下来问问自己为什么。)可知,该段主要说明消费者无法摆脱光环效应的影响,所以当自己想买某样东西时,要三思而后行,故该段主要警告我们要警惕无计划的购买行为。故选A项。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“找到你的热爱”这一流行观念,并指出热爱并非是与生俱来的和等待被发现的,而是可以通过好奇心、重复练习以及积极的体验逐步培养和发展的。
32.C　词义猜测题。根据第二段画线部分上文“But ‘finding’ a passion means that it already exists and is waiting to be discovered.”可推知,画线部分指的是上文说的“热爱是固定的,等待被发现”,故选C项。
33.B　细节理解题。根据第三段“In one study, after we excited participants’ (参与者的) interest in a topic of black holes with an easy-to-understand video, people with a fixed mindset came to dislike the topic when faced with a technical article. Those with a growth mindset kept their newfound interest despite the difficulty.”可知,作者提到该研究,其目的是对具有固定型思维模式的人和具有成长型思维模式的人进行对比,展示差异,故选B项。
34.B　推理判断题。根据第四段“We offered students either our intervention (干预)or a study skills module. The intervention included reading and reflective writing activities that helped students think about interests and passions as developed rather than found and fixed.”以及“By the end of the school year, the students who had received the intervention were more interested in their required maths and science courses,and earned better grades in those courses than their study skills peers.”可知,本段表明反思性写作可以帮助学生建立兴趣。故选B项。
35.A　推理判断题。根据第二段“Science tells us that passions are developed. They can be raised through curiosity and repeated practices.”,倒数第二段“By the end of the school year, the students who had received the intervention were more interested in their required maths and science courses, and earned better grades in those courses than their study skills peers.”以及最后一段“While our intervention offers a way for schools to support their students, we also believe people can independently build up a growth mindset of interest. Realize that passions aren’t waiting to be ‘found’. Take an active role in developing them.”可知,作者认为热爱是可以培养和发展的,人们也可以独立地建立起对兴趣的成长型思维模式,并主动去培养和发展它们,由此可知,A项“Love what you do, and you’ll keep going and become better.”(热爱你所做的,你将保持前进并变得更好。)表达的含义与作者的观点一致,故选A项。
第二节
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要以“阅读是一个对人有益处的好习惯”为核心,从其益处的对立面出发,比如“学习困难”、“思想狭隘”、“脑力低下”以及“想象力匮乏”等方面具体阐述阅读给人带来的好处。
36.F　根据前文“Reading is a healthy habit that everyone should develop from childhood because of the benefits that come with it.”可知,阅读是一个健康的习惯,由此可推知,设空句应继续讲述此话题,同时根据后文“Therefore, take your time and start by reading slowly.”可知,此处提到慢慢阅读,由此可推知,设空句应解释原因。选项F (就像任何习惯一样,它是慢慢形成的。)与后文构成因果关系,且it指代前文的主题“阅读习惯”,前后衔接紧密。故选F项。
37.A　设空处为该段小标题,应是该段的主旨句。根据后文“People who don’t read and don’t like to read find it harder to learn than people who actually read. For example, most students who fail to develop a reading habit find it difficult to get through school.”可知,该部分主要就“不会阅读就会出现学习困难”的话题进行了解释。选项A (学习困难。)符合该主旨。故选A项。
38.B　根据前文“Most people who don’t read have certain narrow-mindedness that can easily be noticed.”可知,前文提出了一个现象:大多数不读书的人会思想狭隘。根据后文“When you don’t read, you’re forced to take everything at face value and then create and shape your views in this way.”可知,后文解释了这一现象产生的原因:不阅读就只能看到事物的表面,从而产生狭隘的表面性观点和思维。由此可推知,前后文之间的设空句应是过渡句。选项B(这个现象的原因很简单。)的主语the reason呼应后文内容。故选B项。
39.C　根据前文“One advantage of reading is its ability to improve brain function. Reading can help people become better thinkers and use brains more effectively.”可知,该部分强调阅读可以改善大脑功能,可以锻炼大脑。由此可推知,设空句作为该段的末尾句,应再次提到此核心内容,呼应主旨。选项C(这样的练习可以加强大脑。)在句意上再次呼应主旨,such exercise指代前文“…exercise the brain as much as readers do.”,前后衔接紧密。故选C项。
40.E　根据前文“Reading books allows you to tap into your imaginative power.”可知,读书可以让人发挥想象力,由此可推知,设空句具体解释读书带来的想象力是如何体现的。选项E (然后它会让你想象你所读的东西。)符合语境。故选E项。
第三部分

第四部分
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Alex,
I hope this e-mail finds you well. I would like to put forward the idea of setting up a spoken English club.
The primary purpose is to increase the chance to use English in daily conversations. Not only does it improve our oral English, but it also increases our confidence in speaking English. As for the ideal name, “English Conversation Club” may be perfect, which is interesting and attractive. Regarding the activities, above all, inviting foreign teachers to join is necessary, which can help us practise oral English. At the same time, some theme activities, such as role-playing and English speech contests, would be highly appealing and helpful.
Your support and participation would be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Ruby请求同桌Ollie在数学考试时让自己抄袭,并答应Ollie送他礼物,因此两人每周的数学测验都获得了满分。校长发现他们考试抄袭这件事后,要求Ruby连续五周在午餐时间学习数学,并让Ollie教她,最终两人都考取了满分,也领悟了友谊的真谛。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Ruby低着头,很后悔给Ollie惹了麻烦。”可知,第一段可以描写Ruby向Ollie道歉并决心弥补。
②由第二段首句内容“Ollie最后证明是Ruby的好老师。”可知,第二段可以描写Ruby在Ollie的帮助下,在数学方面取得进步,最后两人都得了满分。
2.续写线索:Ruby感到后悔—Ruby很羞愧—Ruby决心改变—Ollie帮助Ruby—两人获得满分—感悟
One possible version:
Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble. She realized it was her fault that put them into such a shameful situation (realized后面是一个宾语从句;it is/was…that…为强调句式). “I am so sorry that I’d like to make a sincere apology to you,” Ruby said to Ollie with tears rolling down her cheeks (with复合结构). Hearing this (现在分词作状语), Ollie felt ashamed with his cheeks burning (with复合结构)and said, “I should also take the responsibility for the matter(重要搭配:take the responsibility for…为……承担责任). To make up for this fault (不定式作目的状语), I will try my best to help you.” Ruby wiped her tears and was determined to spare no effort to learn maths with Ollie.
Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby. He was always ready to help whenever Ruby met with difficulties (让步状语从句). As time went by (时间状语从句), with the assistance of Ollie, Ruby gradually made great progress in maths. Eventually, they both got full marks in the final examination once again. The headmaster praised them for the progress they had made (定语从句). It was at the moment that they really felt proud of themselves (it is/was…that…为强调句式). What an unforgettable and meaningful experience, which taught them a lesson of honesty and true friendship (非限制性定语从句)!阶段素养测评卷(二)

Amy Jandrisevits knows the value of a good doll. “Dolls have a power we don’t completely understand,” she says. It’s a conclusion she came to while working as a pediatric oncology (儿科肿瘤学) social worker using dolls to help her young patients adapt to their changing medical situations. Many of the kids saw themselves in those good dolls, but for the kids who had lost their legs or hair, there were none they could relate to.
So, eight years ago, when a friend said that her child was disabled, Jandrisevits knew what might help the youth through the challenging period. “It’s hard to tell a kid, ‘You are perfect the way you are’, and it is important to build the kids’ self-confidence,” she says.
Jandrisevits went about changing that. She made a doll by hand, which looked like her friend’s child and sent it off. After the friend posted a photo of the happy child and doll online, another woman asked Jandrisevits to make a doll that looked like her baby, who had lost a leg.
Word spread, and soon Jandrisevits made dolls for children with different physical defects (缺陷)—in short, dolls that looked like them. She quit her job and started a non-profit, A Doll Like Me. Working out of her home in Milwaukee, based on photos sent by kids’ parents or caregivers, Jandrisevits takes about seven hours to make each doll. A GoFundMe page helps her make up for costs and allows her to donate her services. She hasn’t charged for a doll since she began her non-profit.
In all, she has made more than 400 dolls. The waiting list is long, but Jandrisevits is undefeated. As she explains on her GoFundMe page, “Every kid, regardless of age or body type, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own.”
(　)24.What is the value of good dolls in the eyes of Jandrisevits
A.Helping patients learn to make the dolls.
B.Letting patients see themselves in the dolls.
C.Letting patients believe that they’re perfect.
D.Helping patients adapt to the new school life.

C.Sick doctors. D.Patients’ parents.
(　)26.Which words can best describe Jandrisevits

(　)27.What is the text mainly about

The halo effect is a cognitive bias (认知偏见) that affects our opinions of quality in products, brands, businesses or people. It describes our tendency to judge a wider concept from our experience of a single moment or interaction. That is, your experience of using a product may colour your impression of an entire brand.
This is a very surface-level, quick-fire response that is deep in our mind. If we see a good or bad quality, we really can’t help thinking this “thing” must flow through to the rest of the person, business or brand. Marketers understand this and have been using it against you for years.
Advertisers want to back winners, especially those on big stages. The Olympics, the World Cup and the Super Bowl all attract huge amounts of advertising spend. Why Because when sports stars win big, they create huge numbers of feel-good factors and brands can use the halo effect to project some of those feel-good factors onto themselves.
Studies have shown that when a product has a label that is either fair trade, sustainably sourced or organic in nature, it will receive higher ratings in customer satisfaction and people will pay more for it. In a blind taste test though, that’s not necessarily the case. The product could be considered poor in taste or quality, but the act of adding a certain label to the packaging increases people’s liking for it.
The halo effect is a bias we cannot escape. It is in action everywhere in the modern world. Every high-end product you experience leaves a lasting impression and every advertisement that catches your eye is wanting to direct your attention towards something you may not have otherwise been interested in. As a consumer, be careful. There are businesses that will go to any extent to influence your behaviour. Next time you find yourself really wanting something, stop and ask yourself why.
(　)28.How does the halo effect influence our opinions
A.It helps us see things in a better way.
B.It deepens our understanding of things.
C.It stops us from jumping to conclusions.
D.It works on us through former experience.
(　)29.Why do advertisers back winners of big events
A.To use the halo effect to attract more audiences.
B.To contribute to the development of sports.
C.To connect their brands with positive emotions.
D.To drive sports stars to create feel-good factors.
(　)30.What can be inferred about the halo effect from Paragraph 4
A.It leads to false advertisements.
B.It results in incorrect judgements.
C.It ensures the quality of products.
D.It improves environmental protection.
(　)31.What is the purpose of the last part of the text
A.To warn of unplanned buying.
B.To summarize the halo effect.
C.To expose the influence of advertising.
D.To show modern marketing strategies.

“FIND YOUR PASSION (热爱)!” This inspiring instruction suggests it’s important to discover what truly excites us in life. But is it good advice
Science tells us that passions are developed. They can be raised through curiosity and repeated practices. Our first interest can be developed into a true passion with positive experiences. But “finding” a passion means that it already exists and is waiting to be discovered. This misunderstanding can hold people back. Fortunately, our latest research shows there are ways to encourage a more open outlook on it.
To study these ideas, we use a framework of “fixed” and “growth” mindsets: a fixed mindset sees interests as unchangeable, while a growth mindset views interests and passions as developed. A growth mindset of interest comes with many advantages, while a fixed mindset may discourage exploration. In one study, after we excited participants’ (参与者的) interest in a topic of black holes with an easy-to-understand video, people with a fixed mindset came to dislike the topic when faced with a technical article. Those with a growth mindset kept their newfound interest despite the difficulty.
So can a growth mindset of interest be taught We published findings with 700 liberal arts undergraduates, most of whom held limited interest in maths and science. We offered students either our intervention (干预) or a study skills module. The intervention included reading and reflective writing activities that helped students think about interests and passions as developed rather than found and fixed. For example, students wrote a paragraph about a case when they developed interest in a new activity. The study skills module, meanwhile, stressed practices such as time management. By the end of the school year, the students who had received the intervention were more interested in their required maths and science courses, and earned better grades in those courses than their study skills peers.
While our intervention offers a way for schools to support their students, we also believe people can independently build up a growth mindset of interest. Realize that passions aren’t waiting to be “found”. Take an active role in developing them.
(　)32.What does “This misunderstanding” underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Passions can be developed with more practices.
B.Interest is of great help to build up confidence.
C.Passions are fixed and wait to be uncovered.
D.Interest can be discouraged by repeated work.
(　)33.Why does the author mention the “black holes” study
A.To make a prediction. B.To show the difference.
C.To protest a decision. D.To explain the rule.
(　)34.What can we learn about the study from Paragraph 4
A.Students were grouped based on types of mindsets.
B.Reflective writing helped students build up interest.
C.Study skills were used to reduce students’ stress.
D.Better grades contributed to one’s favour to a subject.
(　)35.Which of the following does the author probably agree with
A.Love what you do, and you’ll keep going and become better.
B.Find what you love, and you’ll never have to work a day.
C.It can always be easy and exciting to dig into new areas.
D.It is much better to get lost in the passion than to lose it.

Reading is a healthy habit that everyone should develop from childhood because of the benefits that come with it. 36.　　　　 Therefore, take your time and start by reading slowly. The following will discuss the effects of not reading books, so you can basically consider and judge where you are and understand how reading can be beneficial.
37.　　　　 People who don’t read and don’t like to read find it harder to learn than people who actually read. For example, most students who fail to develop a reading habit find it difficult to get through school. This then leads to students dropping out, which is bad for society. Reading is a habit that strengthens the brain and develops your inborn love of wanting to learn more. Therefore, not being addicted to books closes you off from this.
Narrow-mindedness. Reading a variety of books broadens the readers’ mind. Most people who don’t read have certain narrow-mindedness that can easily be noticed. 38.　　　　 When you don’t read, you’re forced to take everything at face value and then create and shape your views in this way.
Low brainpower. One advantage of reading is its ability to improve brain function. Reading can help people become better thinkers and use brains more effectively. People who don’t read usually have low brainpower because they don’t exercise the brain as much as readers do. 39.　　　
Poor imagination. Reading books allows you to tap into your imaginative power. 40.　　　　 This is important because it expands (拓展) your thought process as well as the ability to understand. People who don’t read books usually are short of the inspiration necessary to create imagination. This makes it difficult to be creative.
A.Learning difficulty.
B.The reason for this is simple.
C.Such exercises strengthen the brain.
D.Inability to fully understand the world.
E.It then makes you picture what you read.
F.It is developed slowly just as any habit would.
G.The ability to read is important in today’s world.

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。
Ollie Simmons was good at maths, but Ruby Riley wasn’t. Well, Ruby didn’t think she was. She sat next to Ollie and so she just copied off him. This was the best way she had found to do maths and she didn’t have to think at all.
One day the teacher said, “We will be having a maths test after lunch.” Ruby felt there were butterflies in the stomach. “Can I copy off you ” she whispered to Ollie. Ollie thought for a minute. “What will you give me ” he whispered back. Ruby showed Ollie a stone she had. It was round and smooth and the colour of the sea. “OK!” he said, “Give me the stone, and then you can copy my answers.” Ollie got full marks in the maths test and so did Ruby. Their names went on the top of the maths champion chart.
Every week there was a maths test and every week Ollie and Ruby got full marks together. Ollie had to share the top place with Ruby, but it was worth it. He had a torch, a key chain, a golf ball and a gift box!
One day, there was a maths test again. This time, Ruby picked a watch, thinking everything would go as usual—Ollie would let her copy and they would be on the top of the chart together again. But she was wrong. The headmaster came into Ruby’s class. “I want to see Ollie Simmons,” she said. Ollie was gone for a long time. Then the door opened. It was the headmaster again. “Ruby Riley,” she said, “come with me, please.” Ruby felt like a bird in a cage—there was no way to escape. The headmaster told Ruby that every lunchtime for five weeks she had to do maths. “You have to learn to think for yourself,” she said. “And Ollie has to learn a lesson, too. He’s going to teach you.”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble.



Paragraph 2:
Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby.
