Guinness World Records Set by Kids

◆The youngest club DJ

Oratilwe A J Hongwane likes putting in more efforts when playing music for a crowd. In 2012, he became the youngest club DJ—he was five when he played a one- hour set to 100 people at a bar in South Africa. Known in the business as DJ Arch Jnr, he broke the record previously held by a six-year-old in Japan.

◆The most viewed video game-unboxing video

Kids love watching someone unbox a new purchase—especially if it’s something they can’t get themselves. Maybe that’s why more than 25 million people have watched YouTube HD. What’s really cool about Evan is that he actually donates most of the toys to those in need. He also uses his popular YouTube channel to draw people’s attention to worthy organizations for helping the poor.

◆The youngest drummer

The rules of Guinness World Records say a drummer must record a real song and be paid for his skills and that the drummer must give at least 20 concerts of 45 minutes or longer within five years. At the age of just four Julian Pavone met all those qualifications.

◆The fastest assembly (组装)of 10,000 Lego pieces and the longest Lego chain

A group of school kids in New Jersey went for their world records to increase public awareness about a fellow student who is suffering from a rare and deadly disease. The group put together 10,000 Lego pieces in just three hours, breaking the old one by five hours. They also set the record for the longest Lego chain, which ended up at 947 meters, beating the old record by 40.

Growing pains and gains

It’s not easy to grow up. Actually it’s far from easy. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude, we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains！

As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked. They made me learn

to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along, not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life. They’ve always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.

Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying, so live life to its fullest！We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that. The future is ours！

A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone！If we realize that these pains are just small bumps(凸块)on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains！

【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者从自身的角度向我们讲述了成长中的一些烦恼，并告诉我们，如果我们意识到这些烦恼只是人生成功道路上的小障碍，它们就会变成收获。

A. life is full of joy

【答案】D

A项正确。

6. What does the underlined phrase “to its fullest” mean?

A. Directly

B. Completely

C. Carefully

D. Terribly

【答案】B

【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying”可知，我们的生活只存在两种状态——生或死，所以我们要充分过好我们的人生，由此可知画线词词义为

“充分地，完全地”，故B项正确。

7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up.

B. We all have to experience growing pains.

C. A little hard work and sweat are harmful to us.

D. Life without fear is a better choice for us.

For or Against?—That Is the Question

Andy is the most unreasonable and he makes me so angry that I could even scream sometimes! Of course, I sort of have to love him because he is my twin brother. Andy and Amy(that is me)have the same curly hair and dark eyes and are equally stubborn. Yet, on most issues we usually take opposite positions.

Just this week in our school, there was a heated discussion on whether to adopt a school dress code. Every student would be required to wear a uniform. The teachers are divided: Some are in favor of the uniforms while others are opposed. The principal has asked the students to express their opinions by voting on the issue before decisions are made. But she will have the final word on the dress code.

I think a dress code is a good idea. The reason is simple. The less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I can’t tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just st are, unable to decide what to wear.

Andy is shocked at my opinion. Last night, he even dragged out my parents’ high school photo albums to show me how brilliant they looked without uniforms! He also declared, "Bruce Springsteen never wore a school uniform. Bob Dylan wouldn’t have been caught dead in a school uniform! Besides, when I am feeling political, I want to be able to wear clothes made of natural, undyed fibers, sewn or assembled in countries that do not pollute the environment or exploit child labor. If I have to wear a uniform, I won’t feel like me!"

To that I replied, “So your personal heroes didn’t wear school uniforms. But they went to high school about a million years ago! I feel sorry for you since I had no idea that your ego(自我)is so fragile that it would be completely destroyed by a uniform.”That really made him angry and he shouted, “You’re just copying what you hear that new music teacher saying because you are crazy about him!”

Fortunately, the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm, and we went to our separate classes. The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results of the vote and the principal’s decision will be

announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and I’m pretty sure I know how Andy voted. How would you vote—for or against?

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，Andy和Amy虽是双胞胎，但他们在许多问题上通常采取相反的立场，例如在是否采用校服规定的问题上有争执。

8. Amy and Andy often get angry with each other because _______.

A. they’re both stubborn

B. they like different teachers

C. they always hold different views

D. they don’t like each other very much

【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。由第一段中的“Yet, on most issues we usually take opposite positions.”(然而，在大多数问题上，我们通常采取相反的立场。)，可知他们经常互相生气是因为他们总是持有不同的观

点。故选C项。

9. Amy holds the idea that _______.

A. s chool clothing should reflect parents’ values

B. teenagers should never follow the latest clothing fashion

C. the way one dresses should be an expression of one’s personality

D. wearing school uniforms means one makes less decision every morning

【答案】D

【解析】推理判断题。由第三段中的“The less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I can’t tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just stare, unable to decide what to wear.”(我早上第

一件事做决定的时间越少越好。我无法告诉你有多少个早晨我在衣橱里看了看，却无法决定该穿

什么。)，可推断出Andy认为穿校服意味着一个人每天早上做的决定更少。故选D项。

10. Who will decide whether the students should wear uniforms?

A. The principal

B. Their parents

C. Their teachers

D. Students themselves

【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。由第二段中的“The principal has asked the students to express their opinions by voting on the issue before decisions are made. But she will have the final word on the dress code.”(校长要求学

生们在作出决定前就这个问题进行表决，以表达他们的意见。但她对着装要求有最终决定权)，

可知校长决定学生们是否应该穿校服。故选A项。

11. In Paragraph 5, Amy aims to say that _______.

A. Andy shouldn’t look up to his heroes so muc h

B. our clothes should decide people’s attitudes towards us

C. Andy’s lack of self-confidence is reflected in his clothing

D. our clothes shouldn’t determine how we feel about ourselves

【答案】D

【解析】推理判断题。由第五段中的“I feel sorry for you since I had no idea that your ego(自我)is so fragile that it would be completely destroyed by a uniform.”(我为你感到遗憾，因为我不知道你的自我如此脆

弱，以至于会被制服彻底摧毁。)，可推断出Amy想告诉Andy，我们穿的校服并不应该决定我

们对自己的看法。故选D项。

D

Even in the best and most loving of times, families can feel impossibly confined(受限制的). Teens are irritable and furious. Parents are annoying and embarrassing. For Esther and her daughter Chaya, the tiny new coronavirus changed all that.

Esther was born in Wuhan-a dynamic and culturally rich place that she deeply loves but moved to the U.S. During th e winter holiday, they went to Wuhan to visit Esther’s parents. Gradually at first, then more frequently, they noticed face masks on city streets. To be safe, they wore their own masks and stopped going to public gatherings. Then, suddenly the city was on lockdown. No one could leave. Their reservations home on a China Southern airlines flight were worthless. “I feared for my daughter’s life,” said Esther, “If it got worse, there could be chaos. She doesn’t speak much Chinese.”

For days, Esther repeatedly called and emailed for help. It was nonstop. She stayed online, checking all the time. Chaya felt distressed and helpless. It’s awful seeing her mother go through that-without having anything she could do to help in the hotel.

Their luck changed with one email. For the 1,000 Americans stuck in Wuhan, there were 230 available seats on one outbound flight, it said. Esther bought two $1,100 seats. After a 12-hour wait at the airport, they got clearance to leave, and arrived at March Air Force Base, where they were isolated in two small connected rooms with a shared bath for two weeks. There were daily medical checkups, twice daily temperature checks and a 10 a m. briefing (简报). But there was no WiFi, TV or friends. For emotional support, Esther phoned her husband Haim, an engineering manager for Uber, and their two other children, ages 13 and 11.

Now home, they are basking in(沉浸于)the thrill of phone calls, TV interviews and a caring community. They’ve gotten little sleep. Suitcases remain unpacked. But anyhow, th ey have survived not just the outbreak of a virus but the unforgettable experience of mother-daughter togetherness.

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了Esther和Chaya这对母女在武汉经历了疫情，这次经历让她们之间的隔阂打破，有了一次亲密接触的体验。

12. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A. The culture and vitality of Wuhan have attracted Esther and Chaya there.

B. The virus has affected people’s life in Wuhan.

C. The flight of going back to the U.S. has been postponed.

D. The city was locked down because it was in chaos.

【答案】B

【解析】推理判断题。根据“During the winter holiday, they went to Wuhan to visit Esther’s parents.”可知，吸引他们到武汉来的原因是要看望Esther的父母，所以选项A错，排除A；根据“To be safe, they wore

their own masks and stopped going to public gatherings. Then, suddenly the city was on lockdown. No

one could leave.”可知，病毒让人们不得不戴上口罩，停止聚集，城市也被封锁了，没有人能离开。

由此判断出病毒已经影响了武汉人民的生活。故选B。

13. What caused Chaya’s depressed mood?

A. Seeing her mother suffer from reaching out for help.

B. Being kept in Wuhan for poor health.

C. Missing her family and friends at home.

D. Being unable to speak Chinese.

【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。根据“Chaya felt distressed and helpless. It’s awful seeing her mother go through that-without having anything she could do to help in the hotel.”可知，that指的是前文中提到的Esther

不停地打电话和发邮件求助，Chaya对看着妈妈经历这些而自己却无能为力感到沮丧和无助，所

以看到她母亲苦苦寻求帮助引起了Chaya的沮丧情绪。故选A。

14. Why were they isolated after Esther and Chaya arrived at the airport?

A. The concern of their safety as well as the public’s.

B. Their infection of the virus.

C. The lack of flight home.

D. Their emotional problems after the experience.

【答案】A

【解析】推理判断题。根据“There were daily medical checkups, twice daily temperature checks and a 10 a m.

briefing (简报).”可知，Esther和Chaya被隔离的时候每天都要做医疗检查、每天测量两次体温。

由此判断出隔离起来是为检测她们是否健康，这是为了他们也是为了公众的安全，故选A。

15. What is the best title of the text?

A. Life in Wuhan: fighting the virus together.

B. Life about people infected by the virus.

C. Life about a mom and teen united by a virus.

D. Life about a mom and daughter from the U.S.

【答案】C

【解析】主旨大意题。根据最后一段的主旨句“But anyhow, they have survived not just the outbreak of a virus but the unforgettable experience of mother-daughter togetherness.”可知，但无论如何，他们不仅熬过

了病毒的爆发，也熬过了母女在一起的难忘经历，他们因为病毒的爆发有了一次妈妈和女儿亲密

接触的体验，第一段也提到，大部分的家庭父母和孩子之间都有隔阂，对彼此会不耐烦，这对母

女也是，但是一次疫情改变了这种情况，构成首尾呼应，所以C项“病毒使母女紧紧联系在一

起”为标题，故选C。

二、七选五

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Going to a boarding school is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown. Socialization is a big thing for students and it is common to feel a little uncomfortable going into a situation where everyone is a stranger. You may probably miss your friends from former school. Trying actively to find new friends can help ease the feeling of being lonely. A boarding school is a great chance to make new lifelong friends. The question is: How?

You may find you have lots of things in common with your roommate，but even if you are completely different from each other, with a little effort and understanding, the two of you may become best friends.

2

If you leave your door open，this shows that you welcome visitors. As a result, people will naturally stop in and say hello. Closed doors are not likely to bring many visitors and those who stay locked up in their rooms may give others the impression of being cold. Other students will be less likely to stop in and build a new friendship.

3

Getting involved in organized socialization is a great way to meet new people. It also helps you get more familiar with the campus. By staying active in school groups such as clubs and organizations, you can meet lots of people with whom you share common interests.

4

Get to know your classmates as you’ll be spending several months with them. Starting conversations in class is a great way to meet people who are interested in the same kind of studies as you are. Short friendly discussions can build lifelong friendship.

5

If you’re athletic, trying out for a sport will do for you the same thing as joining a club will do. You will instantly meet a large group of people who share your interest in sports.

A. Close the door to keep away from theft

B. Leave the door open sometimes to welcome potential friends

12 .But I have thought about my ruined dress and what the 13 of it could be, and I just couldn’t think of one thing—put this 14 to a friend, and she said the ruined dress was one of those lessons about the 15 of things, about non- attachment. About how everything changes and how life is about letting go.

I considered this. And then I thought I already knew that. In fact, not to sound too 16 , but doesn’t it sometimes seem as if life is just one big 17 after another-from your children, from people we love who move far away or pass away?

So much 18 ! A new dress isn’t a show of attachment to 19 objects. I knew the dress would start looking shabby one day. But my new dress was a symbol of 20 . It had been a trying year, and the dress worked as a show of spirit in the face of difficulties. And now the dress had these big black spots all over it.

My dress and I—we were great while we lasted. Never mind. That’s the way some love affairs go.

In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage of work, forced many people 5 (leave)Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population 6 (fall)from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.

I’ve just moved to a new city, where means I’ve had to study in a new school. I’m fearful that I will lose the track of my old friends, so I decide to keep touch with them by joining a social network. Therefore, my father doesn’t agree with me. He insists that I shall make several new friends near which I live now. His words make me feel confusing. After a second thought, I still think it is unwise to losing old friends. As an old saying going, “Old friends and old wine are best.” I do believe they are of great significant in my life.

【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。作者搬到新城市，开始在新学校学习。但依然和老朋友保持联系。作者认为老朋友在生活中是很重要的。

1.【答案】where改成which

【解析】考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，逗号后是非限定性定语从句，引导词指代的是整个主句的内容，因此使用which引导定语从句，故将where改成which。句意：我刚搬到新城市，这意味

着我不得不在新学校学习。

2.【答案】删除the

【解析】考查动词短语。lose track of是固定短语，意为“跟不上……的进展，不再掌握……的最新情况”，故将the删除。

3.【答案】keep后面加in

【解析】考查动词短语。keep in touch with sb.是固定短语，意为“和某人保持联系”，故在keep后面加in。句意：我担心自己会失去老朋友，因此我决定加入社交网络与他们保持联系。

4.【答案】Therefore改成However

【解析】考查副词。副词前后的两句话在逻辑上是转折关系，故将Therefore改成However。句意：然而，我父亲不同意我的看法。

5.【答案】shall改成should或删除shall

【解析】考查虚拟语气。insist后接从句表示“坚持要”时(实际上事情还没有发生)，从句习惯用虚拟语气，即谓语动词用“should+动词原形”，should可省略，故将shall改成should或删除shall。6.【答案】which改成where

【解析】考查状语从句。这里不是定语从句而是由where引导的地点状语从句，故将who改成where。句意：他坚持要我在现在所住地方的附近结交几个新朋友。

7.【答案】confusing改成confused

【解析】考查非谓语动词。Confusing指事物/事情所具有的特征；confused指心理感受。形容宾语me的感受，应使用confused。故将confusing改成confused。句意：他的话让我感到困惑。

8.【答案】losing改成lose

【解析】考查非谓语动词。此处的形式主语it指代的是具体的一次性动作，应该使用动词不定式，故将losing改成lose。句意：经过一番思考，我仍然认为失去老朋友是不明智的。

9.【答案】going改成goes

【解析】考查习惯表达。as an old saying goes：俗话说，它是习惯用法，故将going改成goes。句意：俗话说：“老朋友和老酒最好”。

10.【答案】significant改成significance

【解析】考查固定用法。“be + of +名词”为固定搭配，相当于“be+形容词”，即be of significance相当于be significant，故将significant改成significance。句意：我相信他们在我的生活中是很重要的。

____________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________

That’s all. Thank you.

【答案】

Boys and girls:

We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely.

First, some of us are upset about their body styles and looks, but I think w e needn’t care about it. After all, it is one’s inner beauty that matters. Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers or classmates. Faced with this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the misunderstanding. Third, some of us often quarrel with our parents because of the generation gap between us. It is necessary for us to communicate with our parents after school, helping them understand us better. Last of all, we may fall behind others, which makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage ourselves to work efficiently, full of determination.

That’s all. Thank you.

写作(二)

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。

Growing up on a small farm, I lived a life that I took for granted. My father worked in the city as a plumber(水暖工).He was not highly educated, but he was smart, looking at problems in an engineer’s way. He was a man made of leather, brass and chewing tobacco who tried to teach my brother and me useful things, including respect. He also had a temper and was strict with us for he would scold us when we made some careless mistakes. Sometimes, my father seemed like a distant enemy to me and I didn’t like him very much.

One day I came home from primary school and his car was already there. Once inside, I was told by my mother that he didn’t feel well. His back hurt. My father never missed work; in fact, when he came home, he went to the barn to work even more. I remember looking at him secretly around the corner as he lay on his bed in the middle of the day.

Later, my mother told me he got multiple myeloma(多发性骨髓瘤),a type of cancer. As the cancer grows, the person will shrink because the disease destroy s the body’s energy and the abnormal antibodies cause problems for other cells and tissue. Bones eventually look like Swiss cheese, and when they break, they may never heal. But I didn’t realize that my father’s time was rather limited and just treated him the same way I used to.

For the last year of my fathers life, his entire day consisted df rising from his hospital bed in the living room and

walking to his chair to sit and think. He was predictably in that chair when I came home one day during the ninth grade. I do not remember where my mother and brother were, but the two of us were alone.

Paragraph 1 :

He asked me to sit down and what he told me still moves me these decades Later.

____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2 :

At that moment, I realized that he was doing more than telling.

____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】

Paragraph 1 :

He asked me to sit down and what he told me still moves me these decades later. Lying on the hospital bed, he told me about his life on the farm, his family, his loves, and his heartbreaks. Although he was tortured by the cancer, his inner self rushed out to me in a great flood as if a pipe had burst all of a sudden. He had been speaking for maybe an hour or more and mentioned that he actually felt regretful about being so strict with us.

Paragraph 2 :

At that moment, I realized that he was doing more than telling. He was asking to be forgiven. All it took was to understand that was what he needed, and I forgave everything, immediately. The thought of my father being an enemy disappeared, with tears rolling down on my face. I held my father’s hands tightly, enjoying this deep but quiet love. Although he has gone for a long time, I still always remember that moment and the realization that I love him.
