Jack Jackson was a normal boy who liked playing baseball with his friends. Not many people knew that his big brother was Ernie Jackson, the famous reporter for the Calgary Times.
One Saturday, Ernie told Jack that he was investigating (调查) a very difficult case and that he was worried he couldn’t solve it. The case was about Modeline Mulrooney, the richest woman in Calgary. Her diamond ring was missing.
“She thinks her swimming coach took it,” Ernie said. “However, he says he hasn’t stolen anything. I’m not sure who to believe.”
“I’ll help you,” said Jack. “Let’s interview Mrs. Mulrooney together.”
The brothers went to Mrs. Mulrooney’s home. Mrs. Mulrooney explained what happened. She said that she always put her ring on the coffee table before she swam in her pool. “The water in the pool isn’t good for my ring, and it also dries my skin,” she said. “I always put on hand cream and wear cotton gloves to bed.”
“Where are the gloves now ” Jack asked.
“I throw them away each morning,” she said, pointing to a rubbish bin.
Jack rushed over to the bin. He searched through it and pulled out many gloves. Carefully, he felt each one, and then he smiled.
“Your ring is right here,” said Jack. “The cream was slippery, so your ring came off with this glove. You only noticed it after swimming.”
“You solved the case ” shouted Ernie.
“You’re my hero!” said Mrs. Mulrooney.

There are many problems that young people have to face when we stop being children. At this age all feelings and emotions are very strong. All problems seem very important.
The first terrible thing is misunderstanding from the dearest people—parents. They do not understand why we need to buy things we want to buy, listen to this type of music or spend most of our spare time with our friends. We do not want to hurt their feelings but they should try to understand us.
The same misunderstanding we face sometimes comes from the side of the teachers. They think that youth is given for studying. But a person who only studies is dull (无趣的). Some teachers do not understand that youth is the time for us to learn about people and about ourselves, to play and to try things. They try to keep us away from all dangers in our lives. But teenagers need adults to take them seriously and give them a friendly hand, not a punishment.
▲ I think, young people need to have pocket money for buying books, pens, ice-cream and so on. But I do not think it is a good idea to ask parents to give me some money. If I find a part-time job, they will say it distracts (使分心) me from studies. If I ask for money, they say they spend too much on my school, clothes and other things.
Sometimes the problem of fashion appears. My parents try to buy me clothes to their taste. Sometimes that’s all right, but sometimes I want something more fashionable, especially for summer. Then we can argue (争吵) for hours. It is interesting that in the question of clothes, my mother is on my side, but in the question of books and music, my father supports me.
Being young is not easy, but it is an important time to learn and grow. Problems like these may feel big now, but they also help us understand ourselves better. If we can talk with adults honestly, find good friends who support us, and be true to who we are, we will get through these years smoothly. Remember, all these experiences—the good and the hard—are preparing us for the future ahead.
33.Which of the following sentences can be put in ▲
A. The problem of money is important as well.
B. A part-time job is another common problem.
C. It’s hard for us to ask parents for some money.
D. Saving money is a necessary skill for the future.
34.Which sentence would the writer keep in his diary
A. I am too busy to take part-time jobs.
B. I like my parents to buy clothes for me.
C. I want to make more choices by myself.
D. I hope my teachers help me with my study.
35.How is the passage organized
A. Time order. B. Space order.
C. From specific to general. D. From general to specific.
36.What’s the main purpose of the passage
A. To show youth is even better than adulthood.
B. To encourage teenagers to take on challenges.
C. To advise teenagers to face problems bravely.
D. To guide teenagers to deal with their daily needs.
D
What do you think causes the northern lights
Many years ago, people who saw waves of colour dance across the sky at night were afraid. Some people made up stories to explain what today is known as the northern lights, or aurora borealis (北极光).
The sun gives off particles (粒子) filled with energy. Large groups of these particles travel together. They are called solar wind. They travel through space at hundreds of miles per second. Even at that speed, it still takes several days to reach Earth.
When the solar wind gets close to Earth, it moves toward the North Pole and the South Pole. These particles enter the atmosphere (大气层) near the poles. They run into gases in the atmosphere. The energy that is made in that crash creates lights. When lots of these crashes happen, northern lights can be seen from Earth. Northern lights are harmless, but they can be frightening if you don’t know what they are.
As far as scientists can tell, the northern lights do not make any sounds that people can hear. However, if you live where the northern lights appear, you might notice problems with your radio or cell phone when the lights are strong, because the activity messes with the signals (信号) in the atmosphere.
The northern lights are amazing, especially the first time you see them. Even at the highest latitudes (纬度), the lowest part of the lights is about 60 miles above Earth. They can reach up to 600 miles into the atmosphere. Imagine what a light show you would see if you were an astronaut looking down on the northern lights from space.
37.Where is this passage most likely from
A. A travel guide. B. A story book.
C. A news report. D. A science magazine.
38.How are the northern lights formed
A. Solar wind hits air gases. B. Sun sends out energy particles.
C. Particles travel fast in space. D. Particles move to Earth’s poles.
39.What problem may the northern lights bring
A. They may use up energy high above Earth.
B. They may cause trouble for cell phone signals.
C. They may harm the people living near the poles.
D. They may stop astronauts from seeing Earth clearly.
40.How does the writer organize the information in the passage
A. By comparing past and present views.
B. By describing problems and solutions.
C. By telling stories from different cultures.
D. By explaining causes and effects step by step.

Following his wishes for a simple ceremony, only 12 people went to his burial (葬礼) . At the time of his death, he was still working on a new novel.

45.【答案】Li Ming's dream
Half a year ago, Li Ming had a dream.
He wanted to become a strong football player in his school. First, he decided to try out for the school football team. Then, he practised hard every day after school to improve his skills. Unluckily, he got hurt during training, but he didn't give up. After a quick rest, he kept practising. Finally, his hard work paid off—he successfully joined the football team.
From his story, I learn that dreams need action and perseverance. Never give up when facing difficulties.
