文章大意：本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从父亲写给自己的信中受到的鼓舞，并提倡家长应该给予孩子追求成功的勇气和鼓励，以帮助孩子克服内心对失败和失望的恐惧，充分发挥自己的潜力。

1 . 阅读下面文章，按照要求回答问题。

My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.

Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?”

A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to what will come next: to be proud of and believe in, somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children. As mothers, our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don’t retreat because they’re afraid to fail. They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear--as mine was until my father’s letter--is of being a disappointment.

Give your children permission to succeed. They’re waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts: “Don’t worry; you’ll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.

1. Why did the father write a letter to the author? (No more than 20 words)

____________________________________________________________________________

2. What did the father mainly want the author to learn from his letter? (No more than 15 words)

____________________________________________________________________________

3. What does the underlined word “retreat” mean? (No more than 3 words)

4. What is the children’s fear? (No more than 10 words)

___________________________________________________________________________

5. If your parents were to write you a letter, what would you expect to read? Give your reasons. (No more than 25 words)

家人和亲人生活故事

文章大意：文章是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是一个关于一个喜欢家具设计的小女孩丹妮拉的故事。

3 . 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Daniella Hudson grew up in a very creative family. “Mum and Dad made all our furniture,” she said. “Not because we couldn't afford it: they just liked making things.

When Daniella visited a design exhibition with her class at the age of ten, she realised she wanted to follow her parents’ example. Since that day, she’s been making furniture. “I’ve learnt by helping Mum and Dad, and through watching videos online.

Her first piece was a table, made soon after visiting the exhibition, and similar to one she’d seen there. “They had furniture from the last hundred years, and I copied a 1920s design.” said Daniella. “Unluckily, no one has wanted tables like that. But I was very chuffed because of the good quality of my table.”

Daniella started selling her furniture at a local market. “This gave me the chance to find out what people thought about my designs. But finally, I had to give up because the market closed down,” said Daniella. “After that, I started an internet business and it was doing so well.”

Recently, Daniella was asked to take part in a local design show. “One of the organisers had bought one of my pieces off the internet. I couldn't believe it when she told me there'd be a thousand visitors.” she said. “I had little idea what visitors would think about it. My furniture is quite different—mine is more traditional,” Daniella said. But Daniella received lots of orders at the show and the future is looking bright for this young design star.

1. Where did Daniella’s interest in creating furniture come from? (no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________
2. What does the underlined word “chuffed” in Para 3 mean? (no more than 1word)
____________________________________________________________________
3. Why was Daniella invited to a local design show? (no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________
4. What is the passage talking about? (no more than 10 words)
_____________________________________________________________________
5. What do you think of Daniella? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
_____________________________________________________________________

家人和亲人记叙文

文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了在表哥沙里尼的帮助下，蒂莎从之前的沉默寡言变成了快乐的女孩。

5 . Tisha was the silent one in the family. She spoke very little and kept to herself. In school she had no friends, which made her parents wonder when she would make friends, laugh and be like other children. When Tisha was seven, her cousin Shalini from the United States visited her.

“Say hi to your cousin, Tisha,” her mother told her. Tisha mumbled (咕哝) a hello and went off. On her very first day, Shalini visited the neighbours’ houses, and made friends with everyone. When Tisha returned home in the evening, she saw that Shalini had become an appealing girl in the family and in the neighbourhood. Tisha felt a little lost. Her mother didn’t know it and told her that Shalini would sleep with her that night.

To avoid talking to Shalini, Tisha got into bed early and pretended to be fast asleep. But the moment Shalini came in, Tisha started to make changes. “See, what I have got for you, Tisha. I wanted it to be a big surprise,” said Shalini, who handed Tisha a box. Carefully, Tisha opened the box. It was a huge multi-coloured globe (地球仪). And it seemed to Tisha that Shalini and she were traveling around the world on the globe. The blue of the oceans was so real that Tisha expected to see her favourite dolphins, polar bears and green forests.

“How did you know that I wanted to be an explorer when I grew up?” Tisha asked, Shalini replied, “Actually, I didn’t know. When I was five, my parents gave me the globe. We would play a game by using it every day. And as I grew up, I came to realize that this globe not only showed countries, oceans, forests and deserts but also showed places affected by polluted areas, damaged forests and dirty sea. So I hoped to go around the world to expose its beauty and the damages humans had done to it.

Tisha felt delighted and that night she went to sleep holding the globe and had a good dream. The next morning the entire family was shocked to see a cheerful Tisha.

1. What was Tisha’s problem?

A．Not as brave as others.	B．Not behaving well at home.
C．Not as social as others.	D．Not performing well academically.

2. What made Tisha confused according to Paragraph 2?

A．Shalini was going to share her room.	B．Shalini earned popularity with people.
C．Shalini was much smarter than her.	D．Shalini was more attractive to her family.

3. Which of the following can best describe Shalini from Paragraphs2 and 3?

A．Ambitious and curious.	B．Patient and determined.
C．Generous and humorous.	D．Outgoing and friendly.

4. How did Shalini make Tisha cheerful?

A．She helped Tisha sleep soundly.

B．She happened to send Tisha a right gift.

C．She was able to know Tisha’s great ambition.

D．She shared her wonderful experience with Tisha.

5. What is the main idea of the passage?

A．How Tisha changed.	B．How Shalini tried to help Tisha.
C．How Tisha learned from Shalini.	D．How Tisha removed the misunderstanding.

I remember it as if it was yesterday. I was fifteen years old that year.

He explored ________ to do most of the things everyone else did. ________ he did pretty well and succeeded in almost everything he tried to do. He ________ his illness and showed an ambition to love life. To him, having a successful life means achieving goals on his own terms and at his own ________.

Mark is my hero, for his disability has forever ________ my viewpoint on life. It seems like a well-deserved life when you’re fifteen, and it is amazing how in a period of time your point of view can change so ________.
