I came to my ice-cold home as I threw my bag on the floor and took off my trainers. I saw a note stuck on my computer. It read, “Don’t turn on your PC． You    1    until 12 o’clock doing your homework last night.—Mom”.

I tore (撕) the note up and    2    it into the wastebasket. “Why do they care?” I thought, “They’re never here.”

Just after high school started, I    3    saw my parents. With all their business trips, they paid the neighbors to watch over me and check my activities. Of course, the neighbors didn’t do such a great job,    4    they had kids of their own to worry about. They usually took notice of when I came home just by looking out of their windows.

They were all there to give me a    8    when I was in trouble or talk with me when I wanted to talk. I felt great when I was at school. Yet, something was still    9   —my parents.

I realize that nobody could take the place of my parents. I wish that they would be at home, waiting for me to come back from school. I want them to    10    that they’re my parents and I’m their kid and I need them. I wish that my parents actually care about me.

The poem “Grass on the Ancient Plain in Farewell to a Friend” is a famous poem by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty. Through the description of the weeds (野草) on the ancient plain, the poem expresses the feeling of farewell to a friend. His friendship is like the overgrown grass on the ancient plain. It can be seen as an ode (颂歌) to weeds and life. The first four lines focus on the beauty of the life of the weeds through time, while the second four lines focus on their beauty of one time. The poem “Wild fire can’t burn them up again; They rise when vernal breezes blow.” shows a kind of “difficulty” and has been recited for thousands of years.

This poem is the author’s practice work for the examination. According to the record, the author entered the capital for the first time. When he visited the famous people Gu Kuang, he showed this poem. At first, Gu Kuang looked at the young man and said, “Living is not easy with rice prices here staying high.” Although he was joking about Bai Juyi’s name, he also meant something more: the capital was not a good place to make a living. However, after reading the two lines of “wildfire can’t burned”, he can’t help appreciating (欣赏) it and said: “Living can be easy with great sight (洞察力).” And it was widely praised. It can be seen that this poem was thought highly of at that time.

14．Which of the following rhymes with “plain”?

A．Go.                 B．Again.                   C．Blow.                     D．Way.

15．What did the writer want to express with the weeds on the ancient plain?

A．The feeling of farewell to a friend.        B．The hard life in the capital.

C．A kind of difficulty.                             D．The beauty of the life of the weeds.

16．What does underlined word “sorrow” in the poem mean?

A．Happiness.       B．Excitement.            C．Sadness.                 D．Surprise.

17．According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A．Bai Juyi wrote the poem for his friend Gu Kuang.

B．Gu Kuang appreciated the language in the poem.

C．Gu Kuang liked joking about others’ names.

D．Gu Kuang didn’t think Bai Juyi could make a living in the capital.

Sydney McLaughlin was perhaps born to be an athlete. Sydney’s father tried out for the 1984 Olympics in the 400-meter race, while her mother was also a runner. She met Sydney’s father in college when she was training with the men’s track team (田径队) because there was no women’s team. Following their parents’ footsteps, Sydney McLaughlin and three other children in her family started running at an early age. Her father finally had to give up the sport because of a serious heart problem.

So how did Sydney get into running as a young child? It was the promise of a chocolate bar at the age of 6 that motivated (激励) her in the beginning. Sydney’s dad told her that if she won a kids’ race, she would get a chocolate bar. When she was 7, she did just that. She said she stayed with running after that so that she could continue to get chocolate!

At 16, Sydney qualified (取得资格) for the Rio 2016 Olympics. At that time, she was the youngest to run for the USA track team in 36 years. Sadly, she didn’t make it to the final. Three years later at the World Championship, the young athlete won gold in the 4 × 100-meter relay and silver in the 400-meter hurdles (跨栏). Then in the 2020 Olympics, she won gold in both races.

Sydney said, “Everyone has their own hurdles, and you don’t know who’s getting over them faster than anybody else. It’s really about devoting yourself to what you have control of.” Her ability to do that is considered one of her greatest strengths.

Last July, Sydney lowered her time to 50.68 seconds in 400-meter hurdles, breaking the world record four times in two years! When asked how she had achieved it, she replied that her faith (信念) had given her the strength to achieve that much.

As amazing as all of this is, she never stops looking for ways to improve. And as Sydney looks forward to the 2024 Paris Olympics, everyone else looks forward to watching her run into history.

18．What do we know about Sydney’s family?

A．Her father used to be an athlete.            B．There are three children in her family.

C．Her parents met at junior high school.    D．Her father gave up running because of age.

19．Why did Sydney start running?

A．To follow her grandparents’ footsteps.   B．To win the Olympic medal.

C．To take her mother’s advice.                 D．To get a bar of chocolate.

20．How does the writer introduce Sydney’s achievements?

A．By listing facts and numbers.                B．By showing others’ praise.

C．By comparing with others.                    D．By interviewing her fans.

21．What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Winning is everything                          B．A good beginning is half done

C．Interest is the best teacher                     D．Running is in her blood

D

Dreams. Ambitions (抱负). Everyone has them.

Some people dream of winning a big prize. Others want to travel around the world… Ellie Stevenson dreams of being a singer.

Ellie is a seventeen-year-old girl. She lives in a quiet village in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. She goes to school, has a part-time job in her Dad’s shop and enjoys spending time with her best friends, Cassie and Skye. This is the story of Ellie.

“Pencils down, please!”

I quickly try to finish writing one last sentence but Miss Jones sees me. “Ellie Stevenson! The exam is over!”

“Please, Miss… another thirty seconds… five?”

“Humph!” she says and takes my paper.

There is nothing that I can do now. I hate biology! I dream of being a singer, like Murphy. I want to study music at A level.

“You can’t study music!” said Dad when I told him at the start of the sixth grade, in September last year. “If you want a good career, you need to study science.”

“He’s right. The sciences are important, Ellie,” agreed Skye. “I’m going to study chemistry, biology, physics and math.”

“Boring! Why don’t you study French like me?” suggested Cassie. “Mr. Lake, the French teacher, is great!”

I never told anyone about my dream after that.

Now here I am trying not to fall asleep as Miss Jones finishes collecting the answer papers after the biology exam. I’m really tired. I close my eyes. I only want to rest for a minute. But soon I’m not in the exam room…

I’m on stage in front of thousands of fans. My fans! They are shouting my name… I start to play the guitar and they all cheer… they sing the words to my latest hit…

“Ellie! Ellie!” Miss Jones’s angry voice wakes me up.

“Eh…? Sorry?”

“It’s time to go home!” she says, shaking her head.

I’m the only person left in the room. Everyone else has already gone.

I was dreaming… again.

I feel stupid as I pick up my bag and walk towards the exit.

Outside, it’s raining. It’s spring but the sky is grey and miserable (令人难受的). It seems like it will rain forever and I haven’t got an umbrella.

① …

…

…

When I look into Murphy’s eyes, I know that maybe my dream is just beginning…

22．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about Ellie?

A．Ellie does well in Biology and Chemistry.

B．Ellie finished her exam earlier than others.

C．Ellie’s love for music got support from her family.

D．All the other students in the exam room left before Ellie.

23．What is probably the hidden meaning of the underlined sentences?

A．Ellie doesn’t care about the weather in spring.

B．Ellie is sad because she hasn’t got an umbrella.

C．Ellie doesn’t like spring because it will rain forever.

D．Ellie feels blue because realizing her dream seems hard.

24．What is the most likely to happen to Ellie in the part ① ?

A．She stops working for her dad.             B．She makes every effort to be a singer.

C．She gives up practising singing.            D．She becomes interested in her schoolwork.

25．What does the writer want to tell us?
