【題目】 When Natalie Hampton was 12, she was a student at one of the best schools in Los Angeles. Yet she was deeply unhappy.

While in seventh and eighth grade, Natalie was bullied (欺凌) by her classmates. She was physically attacked. A classmate even held a knife up to her neck.

The worst part? The bullies turned Natalie into an outcast. She ate alone in the dining room every day. “I became afraid to go to school,” said Natalie in a recent interview. “I felt worthless.”

In 2014, Natalie began ninth grade at a new school with a “kind student body.” Still, she never forgot how terrible the bullies made her feel. For that reason, whenever she saw kids eating by themselves, she would invite them over.

“Being included has made a difference in their lives,” said Natalie, now 16. This experience encouraged her to create an app (應用程序), Sit With Us, which was started in September 2016.

Sit With Us is a lunch-planning app that helps students who feel alone find a group to hang out with. Kids can also help end bullying and invite others to their lunch table. This way, anyone who doesn’t have friends to sit with can find a friendly table to join.

“The Sit With Us app should help lessen fears of lonely kids,” wrote author Susan Newman. “It’s always good to have a support (支持) team at the lunch table.”

What is Natalie’s hope for Sit With Us? “To reach as many kids as possible,” she said, adding that the app is already being used by kids in Australia and Europe.

Natalie was recently awarded (授予) President George H. W. Bush’s Points of Light Award for her invention. The award honors those who help change and improve the world.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。女孩娜塔莉在上七八年級的時候受到了同學的霸凌，成為了不被同學接受的人。九年級的時候她去了新的學校，同學們都很好，她不再受到欺凌。不過，她從來沒有忘記這些惡霸帶來的可怕的感覺。因此，每當她看到孩子們自己吃飯時，她都會邀請他們過來。如今， 16歲的娜塔莉創(chuàng)建了一個名為“Sit With Us”的應用程序，致力于改善這種霸凌現(xiàn)象，幫助那些感到孤獨的孩子。

【1】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“while in seventh and eighth grade, Natalie was bullied (欺凌) by her classmates. She was physically attacked. A classmate even held a knife up to her neck.”可知娜塔莉在七八年級也就是12歲的時候被同班同學欺凌。她遭到了人身攻擊。一個同學甚至把一把刀舉到她的脖子上。也就是說她被同學傷害了。故選B項。

【2】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后文 “She ate alone in the dining room every day.”可知娜塔莉每天都是一個人在餐廳吃飯。這說明沒人和她相處，欺凌把她變成了不被別人接受的人。由此可知“outcast”意思是“不被接受的人”，故選D項。

【3】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段中的“Sit With Us is a lunch-planning app that helps students who feel alone find a group to hang out with. Kids can also help end bullying and invite others to their lunch table. This way, anyone who doesn’t have friends to sit with can find a friendly table to join.”可知“和我們一起坐”這個軟件可以幫助那些感到孤獨的學生找到一群人一起出去玩。孩子們還可以幫忙終結(jié)欺凌，并邀請其他人來吃午餐。這樣，沒有朋友一起坐的人可以找到友好的人一起吃飯。也就是說Sit With Us通過在午餐時給孩子提供支持來幫助他們。故選D項。

【4】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“What is Natalie’s hope for Sit With Us? “To reach as many kids as possible,” she said,”可知娜塔莉希望這款軟件能夠接觸到盡可能多的孩子，也就是她希望鼓勵更多的孩子用這款軟件。故選A項。

As we all know, culture is similar with an iceberg. There are cultural roles where are obvious and easily to understand. Most of our cultural values, however, is not clear or hidden. For example, when you will visit a restaurant in Japan, people may sit in the floor and use chopsticks to eat. These eat habits are easy to come across. You may not know, therefore, that it’s common for a man to sit cross-legged on the floor, but it’s not considered acceptable for woman to do so. You have to study people’s body language to understanding this less obvious cultural rule.

Sustainable Transport in Cities

Transporthas always shaped cities. In Medieval times crossroads gave birth to bloomingmarket towns. Many North American cities were created for the car. But how arethe cities of today being shaped by a need for more sustainable transport?

Manylocal governments are speeding up change through policy initiatives such asjoined transport, congestion charges and low emission zones, sustainablegaining and life-cycle costing, and opening data up to companies and academics.And these city level policies can move markets in more sustainable directions.【1】 This ha resulted in five vehicle manufacturers committing to meetingthat deadline, which is both in their own commercial interests and good for theenvironment.

Copen has a number of progressive cycling policies including the Green Wave, whichallows people cycling at 20km /h to hit all green lights during rush hour.

Light weighing and new engine and fuel technologies are helping to make existing road and rail vehicles more efficient. 【4】 The main options are hydrogen fuelcells, fossil fuel hybrids, and electric vehicles, and the best solution may well vary from city to city.

A. Many options require city - level investment in new facilities.

B. However, it is not yet clear which technologies and fuels cities will back.

C. Through their actions, city governments today are helping to shape the cities of the future.

D. For example, London is requiring all newly licensed taxis to be zero - emission capable from 2018.

E. City planners are using transport - oriented development to increase density while maintaining quality of life and property value.

F. Some cities, such as Delhi, are investing heavily in creating the mass transport systems needed to change how citizens travel.

【題目】How to make friends at a new school

Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. 【1】 However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.

Be yourself.

【2】 If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.

【3】

Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!

Believe in yourself.

A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact(目光接觸) with other people. 【4】 Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.

Remember people’s names.

You like it when people use your name, and so do other people. 【5】 Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname(昵稱). You’d be surprised how often this might come in handy.

A. People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.

B. Be friendly to others.

C. Join afterschool activities you like.

D. Making new friends can be hard, too.

E. Don’t sit at the back of the classroom where other people don’t notice you!

F. If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi”.

G. Never change who you are to try and fit in.
