Time flies! This is a third year that I have been in this school．In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities．What impressed me best was an activity called “Learning to Farm”．In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes．Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside．After divided into 3 groups, we started to work．Some students cut potatoes into pieces; some dug holes, and the others put the pieces into the hole, put the earth back and pushed them down hard．We continued doing that until all the work was done．Although we were exhausted, but we felt happy on our way back home．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us．I have been into sports since I was six years old．I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.

When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski．I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before．I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem．That was a big mistake.

Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met．He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort．One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game．Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t．After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “coach, that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere．This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school．He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom．If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.

In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential．Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court.

He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted．I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life．My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students．I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual．

1.Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________．

A．concentrated on skill training

B．expected the team to do well in their studies

C．trained the team to the edge of death

D．asked the team to do more reading than training

2.The underlined phrase “slacked off” in the last paragraph probably means ________.

A．paid no attention

B．showed no interest

C．made less effort

D．had less passion

3.In the author’s eye, Coach Brian is ________.

A．professional and serious

B．hardworking and honest

C．skilled and cruel

D．strict and helpful

We might think we know which colours do what．The idea that red wakes us up or blue calms us down is deeply rooted in Western culture．But do they really change our behaviour in the ways that we assume?

When it comes to scientific research, the results are mixed and at times contested． Some studies have found that people do better on cognitive tasks when faced with red rather than blue or green; others show the opposite．The idea is that if you repeatedly have a particular experience surrounded by a certain colour, then you eventually begin to associate that colour with the way you were feeling or behaving．A school career spent reading your teacher’s red writing circling your mistakes forever makes you link red with danger．Blue meanwhile is more likely to be associated with calmer situations like marvelling at a big blue expanse of sky．

Of course there will always be exceptions --- the comment from the teacher saying “well done” is also written in red． It is true that people do make different associations with different colours, but whether this translates into behaving in a certain way or succeeding at a particular task is a different question．

In 2009 researchers tried to clarify the situation．They sat their participants at computer screens colored blue, red or “neutral” and tested them on various tasks．With a red screen people did better on tasks requiring attention to detail, but when the screen was blue they did better on creative tasks．In practice this might be tricky．In a classroom you might want to think creatively some of the time and pay attention to detail at others．

However, when another team tried to repeat the study with a larger group of people in 2014, the effect of color disappeared． The initial study consisted of just 69 people．In this new, bigger study, of 263 volunteers, background color made no difference．

So colors might well have an effect, but so far those effects have been difficult to demonstrate consistently and sometimes don’t seem to exist at all．

1.What’s the major function of the first paragraph?

A． To present a widely held view

B． To raise a question of behavior change

C． To introduce the theme of the passage

D． To summarize the whole passage

2.The author mentions the exception in Paragraph 3 in order to show _____．

A． there are exceptions to every rule

B． people tend to associate colors with behaviors

C． colors don’t necessarily mean particular behaviors

D． colors do matter to those who desire success

3.It can be concluded from the results of the studies in 2009 and 2014 that _____．

A． the research findings are practical in indoor decoration

B． solid evidence is inadequate to prove how colors affect us

C． a larger study may help confirm colors’ effects on our behaviors

D． walls should be painted different colors depending on different tasks

Seated in a convertible (敞篷车) with the top down at 60 miles an hour, Mary looked at the flies that sat on top of Mark’s hair. How could they stay there? She wondered.

Mary had not seen Mark in years, until the other day when he came into the café where she worked. His appearance was different from when he was in high school. Now, he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes. However, that didn’t change Mary’s feelings for him at all. He had just bought a brand new red sports car and asked her if she would like to go for a ride and then have dinner with him. Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door for her. She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away. On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there.

Mary stared in amazement. It seemed the faster they drove, the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair.

Mary remained silent. She leaned forward and turned the radio on, to try to divert her attention away from the flies, but she couldn’t help thinking about them. She looked up at Mark, who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing to the music while driving merrily along.

Finally, Mark pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road beside a diner and looked in the mirror and said, “Mary, I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat. Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream?”

Mary reached under the seat and pulled out a camping backpack, which contained a round jar and started to laugh wildly as she pointed to the label (商标).

“That’s not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says it’s Fly Trap Glue!”

1.What can we learn from the text?

A. Mark had bought a new sports car for Mary.

B. Mark used to be a thin, handsome boy.

C. Mark and Mary had been in love for years.

D. Mary felt strange when she saw the red car.

2.What does the underlined word “divert” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Replace. B. Absorb. C. Take. D. Recover.

3.Why did Mary burst into laughter?

A. Because Mary played a trick on Mark.

B. Because their ride wasn’t well prepared.

C. Because Mark had prepared a jar of hair cream for her.

D. Because Mark had mistaken Fly Trap Glue for hair cream.

4.What can be the best title for this passage?

A. Stuck on you. B. Unchanged love.

C. A hair trick. D. A wonderful ride.

During Nelson Mandela’s 19 years in the prison on Robben Island, one particular commanding officer, Badenhorst, was the cruelest of them all:

“A few days before Badenhorst’s leaving the prison, I was called to the main office. General Steyn was visiting the island and wanted to know if we had any complaints. Badenhorst was there as I went through a list of demands. When I had finished, Badenhorst spoke to me directly.

He told me he would be leaving the island and added: ‘I just want to wish you people good luck’. I do not know if I looked dumbfounded (目瞪口呆的), but I was amazed. He spoke these words like a human being and showed a side of himself we had never seen before. I thanked him for his good wishes and wished him good luck too.

I thought about this moment for a long time afterwards. Badenhorst had perhaps been the most cold–blooded and cruelest commanding officer we had had on Robben Island. But that day in the office, he had showed that there was another side to his nature, a side that had been hidden but still existed.

It was obvious that all men, even the most seemingly cold-blooded, have a heart of kindness and that, if their hearts are touched, they are able to change. Actually, Badenhorst was not evil; his inhumanity (不人道) had been encouraged by an inhuman system. He behaved cruelly because he was rewarded for cruel behavior.”

1.When did the story happen?

A. Before Badenhorst left the prison.

B. Before Mandela gave demands.

C. After General Steyn took over the prison.

D. Just when Mandela was set free.

2.How did Mandela feel at what Badenhorst said?

A. Awkward. B. Surprised. C. Angry. D. Upset.

3.Why did Badenhorst become the cruelest according to Mandela?

A. He was born evil.

B. He seemed cold-blooded.

C. He was easily changed.

D. His cruelty was rewarded.

4. Which could be the best title of the passage?

A. Hide oneself or express oneself?

B. Hard to change or easy to change?

C. Cruel by name or cruel by nature?

D. To be a prisoner or to be a commander?

He ________ for the first time in his life that night.

A. gets drunk B. got drunk

C. was drinking D. is drunk
