6.Some people may say a hero is someone older than you,someone you personally know,someone who has done something everyone knows about,etc.I don't think a hero necessarily has to be an older person or a close friend or a family member.My hero is younger than me,but we are related.His name is Marcus.He is my cousin.He isn't necessarily a wise person or someone who does something great every day,but he has taught me to appreciate some of the simple things in life.
I am now in 11th grade.When I was in 8th grade,Marcus had a brain tumor (腦瘤) which had to be removed.Thankfully the tumor was benign (良性的).When the doctors removed it Marcus lost his sight.He felt down only once.Ever since then,he has been an extremely happy second-grader.He is very typical of a nine-year-old.He likes to tell jokes,play new games,and he likes to play tricks on people,just like children at his age.I love spending time with him.We go to movies whenever there is a good one and look after him every chance I get.
I say that Marcus helps to appreciate the simple thing in life.He doesn't have his sight and that causes me to realize how lucky I am to be able to see,to walk,and to talk.I can do everything I need to.If everyone could see how happy and satisfied Marcus is and how much he makes everyone around him happy,then they might just be able to better appreciate the simple things in life.

54.It can be inferred that the author hasB.
A.the same idea about heroes as others
B.a(chǎn) different idea about heroes from others
C.the idea that a hero must be older
D.the idea that a hero must be a close friend
55.Why does the author consider his cousin as a hero?C
A.Because his cousin is a very wise person..
B.Because his cousin does great things every day.
C.Because his cousin teaches him how to enjoy a simple life.
D.Because his cousin teaches him to live a rich life.
56.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2mean?D
A.Marcus looks older than his age.
B.Marcus isn't nine years old at all.
C.Marcus is different from the other students.
D.Marcus is the same as the other children at his age.

18.You may think that sailing is a difficult sport,but it is really not hard to learn it.You do not need to be strong.But you need to be quick.And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First,you must ask yourself,"Where is the wind coming from?Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?"You must think about this all the time on the boat.The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let's start with the wind blowing from the behind.This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction.Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat.It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat.Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side,it is blowing across the boat.In this case,you must keep the sail half way outside the boat.It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind,but it shouldn't flap (擺動).It shouldn't look like on a flagpole.If it is flapping,it is probably out too far,and the boat will slow down.
Sailing into the wind is not possible.If you try,the sail will flap and the boat will stop.You may want to go in that direction.It is possible,but you can't go in a straight line.You must go first in one direction and then in another.This is called tacking.When you are tacking,you must always keep the sail inside the boat.

4.What should you consider first while sailing?C
A.Sailors'strength.
B.Wave levels.
C.Wind directions.
D.Size of sails.
5.What does the word"It"underlined in Paragraph 4refer to?C
A.The boat.
B.The wind.
C.The sail.
D.The angle.
6.What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?D
A.Move in a straight line.
B.Allow the sail to flap.
C.Lower the sail.
D.Tack the boat.
7.Where can you probably find the text?A
A.In a sports magazine.
B.In a science journal.
C.In a physics textbook.
D.In an official report.

15.When you think of tree frogs,heat and rainforests come to mind.While the equatorial regions are home to many tree frogs,including the popular and colorful red-eyed tree frogs,the northeastern United States is home to gray tree frogs.
If you live in an area with gray tree frogs,you are more likely to hear them than see them.Gray tree frogs will call from up high during the day and well into August; many people mistake their calls for birdcalls.Their color can be different,even with the same tree frog at different times of the day.Younger tree frogs are sometimes green instead of gray.
If you're trying to find and observe these guys,you might notice that they will call loudly until you get close enough to find their location.Then they will go silent,becoming almost invisible in the leaves.They like to lie close to the foot of trees,but unless they are low down they can't easily be found.
One tree frog can eat 100 mosquitoes in a moment.Sometimes at night during the chorus,they are a little easier to find as there are many frogs in the water,and they are usually"love drunk".They can be picked up and will continue to call from your hand.In fact,calling is a big deal for gray tree frogs.It takes a lot of energy,and males will often have to take a night off to recover after spending time in the chorus.Females seem to prefer the long calls to the short ones,and will head in the direction of those calls.
So next time you hear that"bird"calling from the trees in the summer,take a closer look and listen.You may find tree frogs closer to your homes than you think!

60.Which of the following is the main idea of the first paragraph?A
A.Nesting areas for tree frogs.       B.Different types of tree frogs.
C.Brief introduction of rainforests.  D.Description of the equatorial regions.
61.It is implied in the text thatC.
A.tree frogs live in the areas of the equatorial regions
B.tree frogs can eat a lot of mosquitoes within a minute
C.tree frogs'color can be different during the time of their growth
D.you can hear tree frogs calling from the tree in the summer
62.If you hold a tree frog in your hand,what will happen to it?B
A.It will make a loud cry. B.It will continue calling.
C.It will change its color.  D.It will go silent.
63.What does the author suggest doing while hearing the tree frogs calling?D
A.Living in an area with tree frogs.   B.Getting close enough to find their location.
C.Watching them at night in the water. D.Taking a close look and listening.

16.When you think of the books that are read and taught in high schools across the US,what are the first titles that come to mind?The Great Gasby,Lord of the Flies.The Catcher in the Rye and of Of Mice and Men probably flood your memory.The authors of these books have something in common:They were all white men.
The truth is,many reading lists are short on female and minority authors.And some argue  that teaching the literary canon(文學經(jīng)典)to students who no longer find relevance(相關性)    in the issues presented will fail to interest teens and ultimately rum them away from reading.
"When we think about summer reading books or adding a new book to a course,we're often looking for women or people of color,"said Scott Campbell,an English teacher at New Trier High School,who admired there's a gap in the curriculum where minority writers should be.
"Women a hundred or so years ago were not encouraged or expected that they might write,this is just one of the after-effects of male domination",Campbell explained.
"I think book lists in schools are sexist(性別歧視的),but I don't think it's the schools'fault,"said Jones from a high schoo1."I think it's because we still think good literature is only    written by white males,which simply isn't true.I do see,though,that teachers are trying to change mat."
Teachers at Hancock High School are doing the similar job.Hancock curricula include books and concepts teachers believe to be more culturally relevant to their students.
Hancock junior Sandra Rodriguez said she likes her school's selections that have replaced  some to the traditional high school reads.
32.Why does the writer mention some books in the first paragraph?A
A.To show these books arc mostly written by white men.
B.To advise students to read these books.
C.T0 comment on the authors.
D.To show these books are classic.
33.Why does Scott Campbell choose books written by women or people of color?B
A.These books are better in content.
B.There are few of such books in the curriculum.
C.He prefers these books.
D.Students like these books more.
34.How does Jones think of the book lists in school?D
A.They are not proper and school should be accused.
B.They are written by white men and are better than others.
C.They are more suit able for boys.
D.They should be changed.
35.What does"the similar job"in the sixth paragraph refer to?B
A.Changing the teaching method of literature.
B.Adding more culturally relevant books to the curriculum.
C.Arousing students'passion for reading.
D.Helpin g students read more books.
