When I entered high school, there were many things that worried me. I felt homesick and couldn’t study well, which resulted in low marks as well as low self-esteem (自尊心). I didn’t know what to do so I just followed others.
One day, all students were called to the school playground. We were asked to meet an education expert for personality development. All of us were waiting for him when we saw a thin man and the headmaster. He looked confident, with a smile on his face. He introduced himself to us and started his work. Most of it was interactive (互动的) lessons with students. Then he said, “Now I need 20 students, who want to take a talent (才能) test and consider them to be the best in the world.” We all wanted to attend, so all of us raised our hands in unison.
He chose 20 among us and gave them a question paper and said, “There are 10 questions on the paper, and the quickest person to answer it will be the winner! … When finishing it, write your name on the paper and give it to me.” When he said “Start”, all the students wrote quickly. Between their funny actions and our loud laughter, somehow the competition was over. At last, he told us the name of the winner … NOBODY. We all were surprised, and silence fell upon us. He said between the first instruction and the first question, there was another line which said, “Read all the questions carefully and answer ONLY THE 10TH QUESTION.” Needless to say, all the students were awkward.
After a few minutes, he spoke at last and told us to keep careful and have creativity in life. He got all our attention; he is none other than Dr. Tyler Ralph, one of the most famous experts in American education.

The Internet has become part of teenage life. There’s a report on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities. It says that 38 percent of them believe they use the Internet often. While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in a good way. Many are playing online games too much. A few even visit websites they should not look at. Bad things can happen if young people spend too much time on the Internet.
In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. It uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet. It gives useful advice such as it’s good to read news or find helpful information to study. Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend offline, let your parents know.

There are 195 countries in the world today and actually none of them have purple (紫色) on their national flags. Throughout history, purple was never used to represent a kingdom.
So what’s wrong with purple It’s such a popular color today. The answer is really quite simple. Purple was just far too expensive.
The color purple has been related to royal power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I didn’t allow anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple’s unique position comes from the rarity (稀有,罕见) and high cost of the dye (染料) used to produce it. The dye was from a small sea snail that was only found in the Tyre area of the Mediterranean. Over 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of Tyrian purple; not to mention lots of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive even for some royal families. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio famously wouldn’t allow his wife to buy a scarf made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today. Therefore, even the richest countries couldn’t spend that much having purple on their flags.
In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin by accident created a man-made purple dye while attempting to produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that it could be used to dye cloth. He patented the dye and mass-produced it. Therefore everybody could afford it.
Till now, a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use purple.
11. Why was color purple expensive in the past
A．Because only royal families were allowed to wear purple.
B．Because it took a long time to get purple dye from snails.
C．Because purple was worth as much as its weight in gold.
D．Because purple dye used to be uncommon and hard to produce.
12. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．The anti-malaria drug.
B．The man-made purple dye.
C．Snails.
D．Tyrian purple.
13. What can we infer from the passage
A．Royal families stop using purple because it’s not expensive.
B．A single pound of dye doesn’t cost three pounds of gold at all.
C．William Henry Perkin got rich by producing the purple dye.
D．An English chemist devoted his energy to producing the purple dye.
14. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．How to Produce Purple Dye
B．The Birth of Purple Color
C．Purple vs Gold
D．No Purple Flags

1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he threw the ball at a vase (花瓶) — his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued (用胶水粘) the pieces together and put the vase back to its place.
The mother noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, Ben’s mother realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the living room at once. As he had already lied, he was determined to deny (否认) everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the living room, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. Instead, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
Paragraph 1: The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward (奖励) for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude (态度) disappeared.

五、读后续写范文
Paragraph 1: The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward (奖励) for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” Hearing this, Ben’s face turned red. His mother slowly took out another chocolate and handed it to him. She told him the second chocolate was for his excellent repair work on the broken vase. Ben lowered his head, feeling ashamed. His mother added that she had prepared the third chocolate as a prize if he dared to tell the truth bravely.
Paragraph 2: Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. He admitted nervously that he broke the vase and invented the story about the cat. His mother smiled warmly and praised his honesty. She told Ben that honesty was far more valuable than the vase. Ben realized lying brought nothing good. He promised never to lie again and treasured the chocolates as a special lesson forever.
