The London Eye
One could spend months walking through the streets of London and still not see the whole city. But thanks to the London Eye, visitors can now have a bird’s-eye view of London’s skyline. And by riding in one of its 32 capsules (乘坐舱), visitors can see up to a distance of 40 kilometers, or even as far as Windsor Castle (on a sunny day, of course).
The London Eye Highlights
Inside the capsules, you can use the touch screen devices to read more information on the different buildings and landmarks you’ll be able to see during your visit. Also included in your ticket is the London Eye 4D Cinema Experience, where visitors can watch a four-minute video to see the London Eye in 4D in its special theatre.
Special Tips
◆Make sure you bring a set of binoculars (双筒望远镜) with you!
◆A ride on the London Eye is not advised for anyone who is extremely afraid of heights.
◆If you plan to travel by coach, you will need to book coach parking and pay in advance before your arrival. The service is free, and the booking allows parking for twenty minutes before and after drop-off time.
Opening Hours and Ticket Prices
The London Eye is open every day (except Christmas). However, opening and closing times change depending on the time of the year you visit. So you’d better check out the London Eye’s official website before you visit.
There are Saver Tickets (priced at 21.20 per adult), but if you want to avoid the long lines, it may be a good idea to buy a Fast Track ticket which is priced at 28 for an adult. It is highly suggested that you buy these tickets from the official website and save 10% on the total ticket costs.
1. What can visitors do in the capsules of the London Eye
A. Watch a 4D video. B. See the whole city clearly.
C. Enjoy famous theater productions. D. Have knowledge of London’s buildings.
2. What is advised to take to visit the London Eye
A. A set of binoculars. B. Touch screen devices.
C. A coach service ticket. D. Drugs for fear of heights.
3. How much should a couple pay at least if they buy the Fast Track tickets
A. 21.2. B. 38.16. C. 50.4. D. 56.
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. D

B
During my university years in the early 2000s, I worked part-time with kids at a neighborhood YMCA, which mainly focused on child care. Each year, we hosted a Christmas party for the community.
Most of the people working there were women, so we had to search for a male volunteer to play Santa Claus. We didn’t have many choices. John was a tall, twentyish man who was much too thin to be Santa Claus. No amount of stuffing (填充物) could possibly make him look like a common Santa Claus. He was, however, available.
On the day of the party, John put on his costume (戏装) and waited for the children. Many of the children who knew John said, “It’s just you, John.” If they didn’t know him, they said, “You’re too thin to be Santa.” We thought it might be a bad decision, but then everyone seemed to enjoy their time there, so it didn’t really matter.
Then, a lovely little girl entered the room. She was dressed beautifully to see Santa and seemed a little shy. Her mother brought her up to our Santa. “She’s deaf,” the mother explained. “If she could just sit on your lap (大腿) and have her picture taken, she would be happy.” John, the skinny Santa, smiled at the little girl, and she sat on his lap.
Then, the skinny Santa began using hand gestures to communicate with the girl fluently, and the little girl smiled happily and answered him quickly with her hands. Their conversation lasted quite a while. When I looked at the mother, I saw that she was crying. In fact, I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room. Santa Claus really was there.
There was so much we didn’t know about what was happening. This girl had never met John before, and few of us were aware that he knew how to sign — it all added up to a magical surprise.
4. Why was John chosen to play Santa Claus
A. He was tall. B. He was male. C. He was young. D. He was popular.
5. What did people probably think of John’s playing Santa Claus at first
A. Disappointing. B. Interesting. C. Surprising. D. Inspiring.
6. What can we know about the little girl
A. She was talkative and lively. B. She often came to the child care.
C. She was friendly to other children. D. She expected to take pictures with Santa.
7. What contributed to the touching scene on that day
A. The little girl has a nice character. B. John’s knowledge of sign language.
C. The warm and friendly environment. D. The participation of the little girl’s mother.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者大学兼职期间一次为孩子们举办圣诞晚会，原本大家都认为John太瘦而不适合扮演圣诞老人，但他用手语知识和一个耳聋的女孩交流，最终出现了感人的一幕。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Most of the people working there were women, so we had to search for a male volunteer to play Santa Claus. We didn’t have many choices.(在那里工作的大多数人都是女性，所以我们不得不找一个男性志愿者来扮演圣诞老人。我们没有太多选择)”可知，John被选中扮演圣诞老人是因为他是男性。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Many of the children who knew John said, ‘It’s just you, John.’ If they didn’t know him, they said, ‘You’re too thin to be Santa.’(许多认识John的孩子说：‘是你啊，John。’如果他们不认识他，他们会说：‘你太瘦了，不适合做圣诞老人。’)”可知，不认识John的人看见他扮演圣诞老人会认为John太瘦而不适合，故一开始他们对于John扮演圣诞老人可能感到失望。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Her mother brought her up to our Santa. ‘She’s deaf,’ the mother explained. ‘If she could just sit on your lap (大腿) and have her picture taken, she would be happy.’(她妈妈带她去见圣诞老人。‘她聋了，’这位母亲解释说。‘如果她能坐在你腿上拍照，她会很开心的。’)”可知，小女孩期待和圣诞老人一起拍照。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Then, the skinny Santa began using hand gestures to communicate with the girl fluently, and the little girl smiled happily and answered him quickly with her hands. Their conversation lasted quite a while. When I looked at the mother, I saw that she was crying. In fact, I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room. Santa Claus really was there.(然后，瘦骨嶙峋的圣诞老人开始用手势和小女孩流利地交流，小女孩开心地笑了笑，很快地用手回答了他。他们的谈话持续了很长时间。当我看着母亲时，我看到她在哭。事实上，我想在场的每个人都泪眼婆娑。圣诞老人真的在那里)”和最后一段中“and few of us were aware that he knew how to sign — it all added up to a magical surprise(我们中很少有人知道他会手语——这一切加起来是一个神奇的惊喜)”可知，John扮演圣诞老人用手语和小女孩交流，使在场的每个人都深受感动，仿佛真的有圣诞老人，故是John的手语知识促成了这一感人的场景。故选B。
C
Walking over water might sound like something unbelievable. In fact, people do it all the time. How Almost all of the world’s liquid fresh water lies underground. This stash beneath our feet is called groundwater.
Earth is a water planet, but most of its H2O is in the oceans. Only about 2.5 percent of the planet’s water is fresh water. Of that, nearly 69 percent is frozen in glaciers (冰川) and ice caps. And about 30 percent is groundwater — much more than the 1.2 percent that flows through rivers and fills lakes.
Groundwater is found almost everywhere on Earth. It hides under mountains, plains, and even deserts. Tiny gaps between rocks and soil grains take in and hold this water like a sponge, forming buried bodies of water called aquifers (地下蓄水层). Together, they hold about 60 times as much water as the world’s lakes and rivers combined. Groundwater is a key part of the earth’s water cycle. Rain and melted snow go down into the ground. The water can stay there for thousands of years. Some groundwater naturally runs out onto the earth’s surface through springs. It also flows into lakes, rivers, and wetlands. People get groundwater through wells for drinking, watering crops, and other uses. People draw more than 200 times as much groundwater from the earth as oil every year.
As human-caused climate change dries out parts of the planet, demand for groundwater may rise. At the same time, climate change may intensify (加剧) storms. Heavier rain is more likely to rush straight into streams and storm drains, instead of going into the soil. So, there may be less groundwater around.
Many of the world’s aquifers already seem to be drying up. Twenty-one of the earth’s 37 biggest aquifers are becoming smaller, satellite data show. The most dried-out aquifers are near big cities, farms, or dry regions. As groundwater stores dwindle, they hold less water to refill rivers and streams, thus threatening freshwater ecosystems. In California, drying up the ground may even be causing small earthquakes.
8. What percentage of the earth’s total water is groundwater
A. About 0.75%. B. About 1.73%. C. About 2.5%. D. About 30%.
9. What can we know about groundwater from Paragraph 3
A. It runs out onto the earth’s surface regularly.
B. It’s mainly kept in the form of aquifers.
C. It will end up in rivers and seas.
D. It’s mainly stored in wet regions.
10. Why does climate change result in less groundwater according to the text
A. It raises the temperature and increases daytime.
B. It causes glaciers to disappear faster than ever.
C. It allows less rain to go underground directly.
D. It changes people’s habit of using water.
11. What does the underlined word “dwindle” in the last paragraph mean
A. Decrease. B. Develop. C. Form. D. Cross.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是地球上地下水的情况以及当前地下水不断减少的形势。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“Almost all of the world’s liquid fresh water lies underground. (世界上几乎所有的液态淡水都在地下。)”可知，液态淡水基本上都是地下水，结合第二段中的“Only about 2.5 percent of the planet’s water is fresh water. (地球上只有大约2.5%的水是淡水。)”以及“And about 30 percent is groundwater — much more than the 1.2 percent that flows through rivers and fills lakes. (大约30%是地下水，远远超过流经河流和湖泊的1.2%。)”可知，淡水占地球上的水的2.5%，而地下水占据淡水的30%，由此可知，地下水应占地球上全部水的2.5%*30%=0.75%。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Tiny gaps between rocks and soil grains take in and hold this water like a sponge, forming buried bodies of water called aquifers (地下蓄水层). Together, they hold about 60 times as much water as the world’s lakes and rivers combined. (岩石和土壤颗粒之间的微小缝隙像海绵一样吸收并留住了这些水，形成了被称为含水层的地下水体。它们的总水量是世界上湖泊和河流总水量的60倍。)”可知，地下蓄水层总水量是世界上湖泊和河流总水量的60倍，由此可知，它主要以地下蓄水层的形式储存着。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“At the same time, climate change may intensify (加剧) storms. Heavier rain is more likely to rush straight into streams and storm drains, instead of going into the soil. So, there may be less groundwater around. (与此同时，气候变化可能会加剧风暴。大雨更有可能直接流入溪流和排水沟，而不是进入土壤。所以，附近的地下水可能会更少。)”可知，气候的变化加剧了暴风雨，而暴风雨使得雨水没有进入土壤而是进入了溪流和排水沟，由此可知，气候变化加剧的暴风雨使得少量的雨水进入到地下。故选C项。
【11题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词后的“they hold less water to refill rivers and streams, thus threatening freshwater ecosystems. (它们能补充河流和溪流的水也越来越少，从而威胁到淡水生态系统。)”可知，由于补充河流和溪流的水减少，造成了淡水生态系统的破坏，结合单词所在的句子“As groundwater stores…(随着地下水……)”可知，they指代的是“地下水”，所以，补充河流和溪流水的应该是地下水，由此可知，划线单词所在句子的意思应为“随着地下水的减少”而造成了补充河流和溪流的水也越来越少，所以划线单词的意思与“减少”意义相近。故选A项。
D
Sports play a key role in the physical and mental development of children. While it’s great to see a child succeed in one sport, it’s important to keep their activities in balance. Participation in multiple sports enables children to build a solid foundation of movement skills. Aside from this, here are some other good reasons why kids should be encouraged to play multi-sports.
Repetitive (重复乏味的) movements can overstress growing bodies which later on can lead to injuries. With multi-sports, each sport works the body slightly differently. This will lead to fewer overuse injuries. Also, kids who overspecialize in one sport may end up losing interest and eventually quit. Specializing in a sport raises expectations and may put too much pressure on young kids. Having a variety of experiences will keep children interested and motivated, and even make them enjoy sports without any pressure.
Multi-sports also allow kids to experience different roles. Being a goalkeeper in a football team is very different from being a point guard in basketball. Being exposed to baseball develops better hand-eye coordination (手眼协调). Soccer develops better footwork. Volleyball develops jumping and hand-eye coordination. Martial arts develop strength, mobility, and discipline (自制力). Swimming develops full-body coordination and strength. The list goes on and on! Participation in multiple sports broadens a child’s developmental, social, and situational experience. It opens opportunities to become a better competitor and a promising athlete flexible and energetic.
Many sports superstars like Stephen Curry achieved their standing today by playing multiple sports. Curry played basketball, but he also played baseball, football, soccer and everything else in a sports buffet. What worked for Curry, experts say, could work for most of us.
Aside from developing a wide range of sports sill, more important, multi-sports provide opportunities for children to discover their liking. With the help of the right coaches, sports become fun, inspiring kids’ interests. So if you can’t decide whether your child should focus on one sport or try some different sports, I hope you can make a better decision now.
12. What will happen to kids if they specialize in one sport according to the author
A. They can stay more focused. B. They can spare more time to study.
C. They can be skilled at the sport early. D. They can be more likely to get injured.
13. What’s implied about multi- sports in Paragraph 3
A. They help kids achieve all-round development.
B. They have much higher requirements for kids.
C. They help kids develop their special talents.
D. They inspire kids’ competitive spirit.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Parents should have proper expectations for their children.
B. Children should turn their interests into careers.
C. Multi-sports help kids find their favorite sports.
D. Sports skills make kids popular in school.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. How sports benefit kids. B. What sports children should try.
C. Why kids should try multi-sports. D. Why multi-sports are popular today.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍应该让儿童参与多种体育运动，因为这样可以避免单一运动造成的损伤和无趣，帮助孩子培养多项身体能力并助力全面发展，并引导孩子发现自己真正的兴趣所在。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Repetitive (重复乏味的) movements can overstress growing bodies which later on can lead to injuries.(重复的动作会给生长中的身体造成过度压力，随后会导致受伤)”可知，如果儿童专门从事一项运动，会导致身体负担过重，很可能会受伤。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Participation in multiple sports broadens a child’s developmental, social, and situational experience. It opens opportunities to become a better competitor and a promising athlete flexible and energetic.(参与多种体育活动可以拓宽儿童的社会发展和情境体验。它为成为一个更好的竞争者和一个有前途的运动员提供了机会——灵活而充满活力)”可知，参与多种体育运动让儿童发展多种能力，有助于他们将来的发展。由此推知，多种运动有助于儿童的全面发展。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Aside from developing a wide range of sports sill, more important, multi-sports provide opportunities for children to discover their liking. With the help of the right coaches, sports become fun, inspiring kids’ interests. (除了发展广泛的运动技能外，更重要的是，多种运动为孩子们提供了发现自己喜好的机会。在合适教练的帮助下，运动变得有趣，激发孩子们的兴趣)”可知，参与多种运动可以激发孩子的兴趣，从而发现自己最喜欢哪一种运动。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，并结合根据第二段中“Repetitive (重复乏味的) movements can overstress growing bodies which later on can lead to injuries.(重复的动作会给生长中的身体造成过度压力，随后会导致受伤)”和最后一段中“Aside from developing a wide range of sports sill, more important, multi-sports provide opportunities for children to discover their liking. With the help of the right coaches, sports become fun, inspiring kids’ interests.

Some people have conditions that prevent them from getting enough good quality sleep, no matter how hard they try. These problems are called sleep disorders. The most common sleep disorder is insomnia (失眠症). Insomnia happens when you have repeated difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep, although you have the time to sleep and a proper sleep environment. ____19____ If you’re having trouble sleeping, hearing how important it is may be discouraging. But don’t worry too much. ____20____ Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help many people with insomnia get better sleep. Medicine can also help some people.
A. How much sleep you need changes with age.
B. While you’re sleeping, your brain is working.
C. There are many misunderstandings about sleep.
D It can make you feel tired or unrested during the day.

52. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
This story happened in a small village in North America, where a disabled boy named Tom lived with his parents. When Tom was born, his right leg was a little twisted (变形的). When Tom could neither walk nor stand upright for two years, his parents took him to a doctor. After a careful examination, the doctor said complete recovery was impossible. So the doctor made a structure of iron rods (杆) that could be tied through Tom’s shoe to a belt over his knee. With the help of the structure, Tom could stand properly and walk at times, and his life became a little easier than before. But one thing always bothering him was that he could not play like other children, although he was still happy.
On the way to Tom’s school, there was a small flower shop. Its owner was a kind old man. In this shop, there lived his five small pet puppies. One of the puppies was lame (瘸的). It always dragged its leg and followed the rest of the puppies. Tom often stood in front of this flower shop after school and watched the puppies. Of the five, Tom liked that little lame puppy most.
One day, Tom saw a board hanging in front of the shop. It read “Puppies for Sale at $50” Tom went straight into the shop. Pointing at the lame puppy, he asked the old man to sell it to him. Tom took a $5 note out of his pocket and gave it to the old man. “I only have $5 now and you keep it. I’ll pay 50 cents a month for the rest,” Tom said. “But it is a puppy which will limp for the rest of its life. It will never be able to run with you or play with you in the park. Do you still want to buy it ” the old man asked in surprise.
Tom told the old man firmly, “Yes, I want this puppy.” Then the old man returned Tom’s $5 and said, “If you want this puppy, I’ll give it to you for free.”
Paragraph 1:
Tom got a little upset after hearing this from the old man.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then, Tom approached the lame puppy with his twisted right leg.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
Tom got a little upset after hearing this from the old man. He refused to take the money back, telling him, “I don’t want you to give it to me for free, because it’s also like these other puppies and it should cost the same as them.” Then Tom sat down on a chair next to him and lifted his trousers to show the old man his twisted leg, which was firmly attached to a structure of iron rods.
Paragraph2
Then, Tom approached the lame puppy with his twisted right leg. “I’m like this puppy too. Maybe it needs someone who can understand it.” Being touched, the old man picked up the lame puppy and gave it to Tom. “The puppy is lucky to have you as its owner. It will be a gift from me to you. Just take good care of it,” the old man said. Tom was overjoyed to get the little puppy as a gift and he thanked the old man sincerely. Then he took it in his arms and headed towards his house happily.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Tom出生时右腿有点残疾，不能像其他孩子一样玩耍，在他上学的路上的一家花店里有五只小狗，其中一只是瘸的，Tom特别喜欢这只瘸腿的小狗，一天他看见店主要以50美元出售小狗，店主是一位老人，Tom拿出5美元给老人想买下那只瘸腿的小狗，并承诺剩下的钱分期支付，老人说可以把瘸腿的小狗免费送给他。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Tom从老人那里听到这个后有点不高兴。”可知，第一段可描写Tom坚持为瘸腿小狗付钱并让老人看自己右腿的残疾。
②由第二段首句内容“然后，Tom用他扭曲的右腿走近瘸腿的小狗。”可知，第二段可描写老人深受感动，将小狗作为礼物送给Tom。

The London Eye
One could spend months walking through the streets of London and still not see the whole city. But thanks to the London Eye, visitors can now have a bird’s-eye view of London’s skyline. And by riding in one of its 32 capsules (乘坐舱), visitors can see up to a distance of 40 kilometers, or even as far as Windsor Castle (on a sunny day, of course).
The London Eye Highlights
Inside the capsules, you can use the touch screen devices to read more information on the different buildings and landmarks you’ll be able to see during your visit. Also included in your ticket is the London Eye 4D Cinema Experience, where visitors can watch a four-minute video to see the London Eye in 4D in its special theatre.
Special Tips
◆Make sure you bring a set of binoculars (双筒望远镜) with you!
◆A ride on the London Eye is not advised for anyone who is extremely afraid of heights.
◆If you plan to travel by coach, you will need to book coach parking and pay in advance before your arrival. The service is free, and the booking allows parking for twenty minutes before and after drop-off time.
Opening Hours and Ticket Prices
The London Eye is open every day (except Christmas). However, opening and closing times change depending on the time of the year you visit. So you’d better check out the London Eye’s official website before you visit.
There are Saver Tickets (priced at 21.20 per adult), but if you want to avoid the long lines, it may be a good idea to buy a Fast Track ticket which is priced at 28 for an adult. It is highly suggested that you buy these tickets from the official website and save 10% on the total ticket costs.

During my university years in the early 2000s, I worked part-time with kids at a neighborhood YMCA, which mainly focused on child care. Each year, we hosted a Christmas party for the community.
Most of the people working there were women, so we had to search for a male volunteer to play Santa Claus. We didn’t have many choices. John was a tall, twentyish man who was much too thin to be Santa Claus. No amount of stuffing (填充物) could possibly make him look like a common Santa Claus. He was, however, available.
On the day of the party, John put on his costume (戏装) and waited for the children. Many of the children who knew John said, “It’s just you, John.” If they didn’t know him, they said, “You’re too thin to be Santa.” We thought it might be a bad decision, but then everyone seemed to enjoy their time there, so it didn’t really matter.
Then, a lovely little girl entered the room. She was dressed beautifully to see Santa and seemed a little shy. Her mother brought her up to our Santa. “She’s deaf,” the mother explained. “If she could just sit on your lap (大腿) and have her picture taken, she would be happy.” John, the skinny Santa, smiled at the little girl, and she sat on his lap.
Then, the skinny Santa began using hand gestures to communicate with the girl fluently, and the little girl smiled happily and answered him quickly with her hands. Their conversation lasted quite a while. When I looked at the mother, I saw that she was crying. In fact, I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room. Santa Claus really was there.
There was so much we didn’t know about what was happening. This girl had never met John before, and few of us were aware that he knew how to sign — it all added up to a magical surprise.
4. Why was John chosen to play Santa Claus
A. He was tall. B. He was male. C. He was young. D. He was popular.
5. What did people probably think of John’s playing Santa Claus at first
A. Disappointing. B. Interesting. C. Surprising. D. Inspiring.
6. What can we know about the little girl
A. She was talkative and lively. B. She often came to the child care.
C. She was friendly to other children. D. She expected to take pictures with Santa.
7. What contributed to the touching scene on that day
A. The little girl has a nice character. B. John’s knowledge of sign language.
C. The warm and friendly environment. D. The participation of the little girl’s mother.

Walking over water might sound like something unbelievable. In fact, people do it all the time. How Almost all of the world’s liquid fresh water lies underground. This stash beneath our feet is called groundwater.
Earth is a water planet, but most of its H2O is in the oceans. Only about 2.5 percent of the planet’s water is fresh water. Of that, nearly 69 percent is frozen in glaciers (冰川) and ice caps. And about 30 percent is groundwater — much more than the 1.2 percent that flows through rivers and fills lakes.
Groundwater is found almost everywhere on Earth. It hides under mountains, plains, and even deserts. Tiny gaps between rocks and soil grains take in and hold this water like a sponge, forming buried bodies of water called aquifers (地下蓄水层). Together, they hold about 60 times as much water as the world’s lakes and rivers combined. Groundwater is a key part of the earth’s water cycle. Rain and melted snow go down into the ground. The water can stay there for thousands of years. Some groundwater naturally runs out onto the earth’s surface through springs. It also flows into lakes, rivers, and wetlands. People get groundwater through wells for drinking, watering crops, and other uses. People draw more than 200 times as much groundwater from the earth as oil every year.
As human-caused climate change dries out parts of the planet demand for groundwater may rise. At the same time, climate change may intensify (加剧) storms. Heavier rain is more likely to rush straight into streams and storm drains, instead of going into the soil. So, there may be less groundwater around.
Many of the world’s aquifers already seem to be drying up. Twenty-one of the earth’s 37 biggest aquifers are becoming smaller, satellite data show. The most dried-out aquifers are near big cities, farms, or dry regions. As groundwater stores dwindle, they hold less water to refill rivers and streams, thus threatening freshwater ecosystems. In California, drying up the ground may even be causing small earthquakes.
8. What percentage of the earth’s total water is groundwater
A. About 0.75%. B. About 1.73%. C. About 2.5%. D. About 30%.
9. What can we know about groundwater from Paragraph 3
A. It runs out onto the earth’s surface regularly.
B. It’s mainly kept in the form of aquifers.
C. It will end up in rivers and seas.
D. It’s mainly stored in wet regions.
10. Why does climate change result in less groundwater according to the text
A. It raises the temperature and increases daytime.
B. It causes glaciers to disappear faster than ever.
C. It allows less rain to go underground directly.
D. It changes people’s habit of using water.
11. What does the underlined word “dwindle” in the last paragraph mean
A. Decrease. B. Develop. C. Form. D. Cross.
D
Sports play a key role in the physical and mental development of children. While it’s great to see a child succeed in one sport, it’s important to keep their activities in balance. Participation in multiple sports enables children to build a solid foundation of movement skills. Aside from this, here are some other good reasons why kids should be encouraged to play multi-sports.
Repetitive (重复乏味的) movements can overstress growing bodies which later on can lead to injuries. With multi-sports, each sport works the body slightly differently. This will lead to fewer overuse injuries. Also, kids who overspecialize in one sport may end up losing interest and eventually quit. Specializing in a sport raises expectations and may put too much pressure on young kids. Having a variety of experiences will keep children interested and motivated, and even make them enjoy sports without any pressure.
Multi-sports also allow kids to experience different roles. Being a goalkeeper in a football team is very different from being a point guard in basketball. Being exposed to baseball develops better hand-eye coordination (手眼协调). Soccer develops better footwork. Volleyball develops jumping and hand-eye coordination. Martial arts develop strength mobility, and discipline (自制力). Swimming develops full-body coordination and strength. The list goes on and on! Participation in multiple sports broadens a child’s developmental, social, and situational experience. It opens opportunities to become a better competitor and a promising athlete flexible and energetic.
Many sports superstars like Stephen Curry achieved their standing today by playing multiple sports. Curry played basketball, but he also played baseball, football, soccer and everything else in a sports buffet. What worked for Curry, experts say, could work for most of us.
Aside from developing a wide range of sports sill, more important, multi-sports provide opportunities for children to discover their liking. With the help of the right coaches, sports become fun, inspiring kids’ interests. So if you can’t decide whether your child should focus on one sport or try some different sports, I hope you can make a better decision now.
12. What will happen to kids if they specialize in one sport according to the author
A. They can stay more focused. B. They can spare more time to study.
C. They can be skilled at the sport early. D. They can be more likely to get injured.
13. What’s implied about multi- sports in Paragraph 3
A. They help kids achieve all-round development.
B. They have much higher requirements for kids.
C. They help kids develop their special talents.
D. They inspire kids’ competitive spirit.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Parents should have proper expectations for their children.
B. Children should turn their interests into careers.
C. Multi-sports help kids find their favorite sports.
D. Sports skills make kids popular in school.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. How sports benefit kids. B. What sports children should try.
C. Why kids should try multi-sports. D. Why multi-sports are popular today.

This story happened in a small village in North America, where a disabled boy named Tom lived with his parents. When Tom was born, his right leg was a little twisted (变形的). When Tom could neither walk nor stand upright for two years, his parents took him to a doctor. After a careful examination, the doctor said complete recovery was impossible. So the doctor made a structure of iron rods (杆) that could be tied through Tom’s shoe to a belt over his knee. With the help of the structure, Tom could stand properly and walk at times, and his life became a little easier than before. But one thing always bothering him was that he could not play like other children, although he was still happy.
On the way to Tom’s school, there was a small flower shop. Its owner was a kind old man. In this shop, there lived his five small pet puppies. One of the puppies was lame (瘸的). It always dragged its leg and followed the rest of the puppies. Tom often stood in front of this flower shop after school and watched the puppies. Of the five, Tom liked that little lame puppy most.
One day, Tom saw a board hanging in front of the shop. It read “Puppies for Sale at $50” Tom went straight into the shop. Pointing at the lame puppy, he asked the old man to sell it to him. Tom took a $5 note out of his pocket and gave it to the old man. “I only have $5 now and you keep it. I’ll pay 50 cents a month for the rest,” Tom said. “But it is a puppy which will limp for the rest of its life. It will never be able to run with you or play with you in the park. Do you still want to buy it ” the old man asked in surprise.
Tom told the old man firmly, “Yes, I want this puppy.” Then the old man returned Tom’s $5 and said, “If you want this puppy, I’ll give it to you for free.”
Paragraph 1:
Tom got a little upset after hearing this from the old man.

Then, Tom approached the lame puppy with his twisted right leg.
