My mom wanted to enter this race. She waited until she saw Mary, the eldest sister of the poor family, stand up. She asked Mary if she could be her partner, and Mary agreed. My mom went out of her way to make Mary win. Later, Mary came and thanked my mom for being her partner. She said that her brothers and sisters really enjoyed the picnic lunch.

Ancient art doesn’t have to be boring. Technology in the 21st century can help to bring it to life by combining (融合) the best of the old and the new.
Along the River During the Qingming Festival
Walking into the China Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, people were amazed by seeing a huge digital (数码的) painting. Scientists digitized the famous painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Chinese artist Zhang Zeduan.
The original (原先的) painting shows life during the Northern Song period and it includes many details of ancient Chinese customs, lifestyles and technology.
In the digital painting, a lot of these details are animated (做成动画). Farmers work in the fields, and sailors move around their boats and people eat and do business in restaurants. Parts of the background are also animated. You can see the wind blowing through the trees and across the water. These animations perfectly combine modern technology and ancient art.
Digital technology allows today’s artists to express their ideas in ways that ancient artists would not believe possible. Techniques such as animation and 3D digital projection (投影) make art come alive.
Dunhuang Cave Paintings
Dunhuang Caves, which are protected ancient treasures in the Gobi Desert in Northwest China, are filled with paintings and sculptures (雕塑) with lasting value. This artwork was created over a period of around 1,000 years.
The good news is for art lovers who cannot travel and for the caves.
Scientists have created a 360-degree, 3D digital projection of the caves, which makes the artwork come alive. There is also a function that lets viewers zoom in and enjoy the paintings and sculptures in greater detail.
Digitizing ancient art allows us to explore the ancient practices. It also makes the whole world understand the art while protecting the original artworks for the future.
24 The writer introduces the two works to show that ________.
A. Zhang Zeduan digitized the two works
B. the two works use different digital projection
C. technology can help to bring ancient art to life
D. people can’t enjoy paintings and sculptures now
25. From the passage, we can learn ________.
A. good art must combine modern technology and ancient art
B. studying ancient art as much as possible is very necessary
C. more valuable ancient artworks will be protected better with technology
D. protecting the ancient artworks is more important than developing technology
26. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Digitizing Ancient Art
B. Protecting Modern Technology
C. Enjoying Ancient Art
D. Understanding Modern Technology
Have you ever paid attention to your school’s security guards (保安) or dining hall staff Would you say “good morning” to your school’s cleaners For high school student Ding Jiacheng, it’s a problem that many students ignore (忽视) the important jobs done by these non-teaching workers. He wanted to make a change.
The boy from Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School, together with several other students, worked on a project called “The Invisible (隐身) are Significant”. They hoped more students would see and respect the “invisible” staff in the school. The project won a prize at China Thinks Big, a competition held by Harvard University and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social problems.
“My team members and I sent questionnaires (问卷) to 158 students,” said Ding. “In one question, 56 percent of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers, while only 17 percent strongly believe that every student should do so.” The team also observed communications between students and workers. “When most students follow the rules of their teachers, one-third of the students go against the rules of the dormitory attendants (宿舍管理员),” said Ding. “It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff.”
The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching workers. They also have few chances to communicate with them. Therefore, Ding’s team shot videos to show staff working around schools. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their communication.
“We’ve also made a series of stickers (贴纸),” said Ding. “We hope these cute images will help young people like the non-teaching staff more.”
“The activity helped me understand that we can all make a positive impact (积极影响) through our creative ideas,” Ding said.
27. Why did Ding Jiacheng and his teammates start the project
A. To win a prize at the competition China Thinks Big.
B. To help non-teaching staff at his school find other jobs.
C. To draw students’ attention to important social problems.
D. To make more students see and respect non-teaching workers.
28. What does the underlined word “Significant” mean in Paragraph 2
A. interesting
B. important
C. imaginative
D. creative
29. The Paragraphs 3 is mainly about
A. what jobs non-teaching workers do.
B. how asking questions helps students learn.
C. how Ding’s team worked on their project.
D. why many students don’t follow school rules.
30. What can we learn from the passage
A. Students treat non-teaching staff the same as teaching staff.
B. High school students care more about the non-teaching staff.
C. Young people love to make stickers of the people around them.
D. Better communication can help students value the non-teaching staff.
四、阅读表达。

Making friends at school can be a little difficult, but it doesn’t have to be! There are some suggestions on helping you talk to people in your class and hang out with them outside of school. Before you know it, you’ll have a group of friends to have fun with every day!
Be friendly
Using proper body language will help. Stand up straight, make eye contact with people and smile! Try to avoid crossing your arms over your chest and looking closed off. The more open and friendly you look, the more people will want to get to know you.
Sit at a new table during lunch
Look for tables with an open seat. If you’re feeling a little nervous, pick a table that only has one or two people sitting down. Head over and ask if you can sit there then join in the conversation. Using proper body language will help. If you like the people you sit with, ask if you can join them again the next day.
Try out for a sports team
Pick a sport that you like (it could be soccer, basketball, softball, baseball, or anything in between), and try out for the team. Over time, you could become good friends with some of the other people on your team! If your school doesn’t have sports team, try looking for one at your local community center.
Join an after-school club
Meet friends who have the same hobby as you. Ask a teacher or your parents for a list of after-school activities and pick one or two of them that you’re the most excited about. Introduce yourself to everyone when you attend your first club meeting to meet new people and start a fun conversation.

Dunhuang Caves, which are protected ancient treasures in the Gobi Desert in Northwest China, are filled with paintings and sculptures (雕塑) with lasting value. This artwork was created over a period of around 1,000 years.
The good news is for art lovers who cannot travel and for the caves.
Scientists have created a 360-degree, 3D digital projection of the caves, which makes the artwork come alive. There is also a function that lets viewers zoom in and enjoy the paintings and sculptures in greater detail.

Have you ever paid attention to your school’s security guards (保安) or dining hall staff Would you say “good morning” to your school’s cleaners For high school student Ding Jiacheng, it’s a problem that many students ignore (忽视) the important jobs done by these non-teaching workers. He wanted to make a change.
The boy from Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School, together with several other students, worked on a project called “The Invisible (隐身的) are Significant”. They hoped more students would see and respect the “invisible” staff in the school. The project won a prize at China Thinks Big, a competition held by Harvard University and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social problems.
“My team members and I sent questionnaires (问卷) to 158 students,” said Ding. “In one question, 56 percent of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers, while only 17 percent strongly believe that every student should do so.” The team also observed communications between students and workers. “When most students follow the rules of their teachers, one-third of the students go against the rules of the dormitory attendants (宿舍管理员),” said Ding. “It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff.”
The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching workers. They also have few chances to communicate with them. Therefore, Ding’s team shot videos to show staff working around schools. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their communication.
“We’ve also made a series of stickers (贴纸),” said Ding. “We hope these cute images will help young people like the non-teaching staff more.”
“The activity helped me understand that we can all make a positive impact (积极影响) through our creative ideas” Ding said.

四、阅读表达。

Making friends at school can be a little difficult, but it doesn’t have to be! There are some suggestions on helping you talk to people in your class and hang out with them outside of school. Before you know it, you’ll have a group of friends to have fun with every day!
Be friendly
Using proper body language will help. Stand up straight, make eye contact with people and smile! Try to avoid crossing your arms over your chest and looking closed off. The more open and friendly you look, the more people will want to get to know you.
Sit at a new table during lunch
Look for tables with an open seat. If you’re feeling a little nervous, pick a table that only has one or two people sitting down. Head over and ask if you can sit there then join in the conversation. Using proper body language will help. If you like the people you sit with, ask if you can join them again the next day.
Try out for a sports team
Pick a sport that you like (it could be soccer, basketball, softball, baseball, or anything in between), and try out for the team. Over time, you could become good friends with some of the other people on your team! If your school doesn’t have sports team, try looking for one at your local community center.
Join an after-school club
Meet friends who have the same hobby as you. Ask a teacher or your parents for a list of after-school activities and pick one or two of them that you’re the most excited about. Introduce yourself to everyone when you attend your first club meeting to meet new people and start a fun conversation.

【解析】
【详解】I“我”；agree“同意”，后接that引导的宾语从句。根据句意可知时态是一般现在时，主语是I，谓语动词用原形。故填I agree that。
36. ——我们能做些什么来欢迎他们呢？
