【题目】Fly Alone for the First Time
I began flying lessons at the age of 14; but the Federal Aviation Administration requires you to be 16 before you make flight by yourself. So I had to wait for two long years until I could fly a plane by myself. I used that time to master the basic maneuvers (要领) of flying. I learned emergency procedures and practiced hundreds of takeoffs and landings until I could land the airplane smoothly without bouncing it down the runway. It wasn’t always easy, and many times I would come home feeling discouraged and thinking maybe everyone was right – I would never learn to fly, but by the next day, I was always eager to try again.
On the day of my 16th birthday, I made my first solo flight, which meant I could finally fly alone. The night before, my dad, who was my flight instructor, explained that the winds were forecast to be high. He said if we were in the air by dawn, the winds would probably be calm enough for me to solo. The next morning it was cold, but the sky was completely clear, and the winds were calm. I expected my dad to stay in the plane for at least three takeoffs and landings. But after the first one, he told me to pull off the runway, and he got out of the plane.
I was alone. As I climbed higher and higher, the world began to change. Everything on the ground became miniature. Houses, cars, and all looked like tiny toys that could fit in the surface of my hand. I made three takeoffs and landings that day. Each landing was perfect. It was one of the happiest days of my life.
Today, as a flight instructor, I stand alongside runways watching as my own students take to the sky on their first solo flights. I understand the joy faces, which always bring me back to that day when my dream came true. I learned that no matter how people tell you that you can’t do something, if you believe in yourself, you can succeed.
【1】When practicing flying, the author ______.
A. met several times of emergencies
B. was worried about his own safety
C. couldn’t wait to fly alone in the sky
D. sometimes doubted his ability to fly
【2】The underlined word “miniature” probably means “______”.
A. distant B. unclear C. small D. high
【3】 What was the father concerned about before his son flied alone?
A. Whether his son was brave enough.
B. Whether it would be too windy.
C. Whether he was able to protect his son.
D. Whether there were negative comments.
【4】What lesson does the author learn from his experience?
A. Be confident and you will succeed.
B. Be responsible and you can grow up.
C. Give up something and you may win more.
D. Think hard and you can achieve your dream.
【答案】
【1】D
【2】C
【3】B
【4】A
【解析】

Every scientific field uses the scientific method to conduct experiments. Performing experiments is very important in the field of psychology (心理学). Before beginning a study, however, any scientist who wishes to perform an experiment should be familiar with the steps of the scientific method. 【1】
◆ Form a hypothesis (假设). It is an educated guess about what will happen during the study. 【2】 Coming up with a hypothesis before you start can help guide your experiment.

This step also helps the scientist to determine if they will be performing descriptive or experimental research. The ideal situation is to always perform experimental research. 【3】 Descriptive research simply collects data regarding the problem and forms a hypothesis according to the data.
◆ Collect data. 【4】 If the data collected is not recorded and organized, the entire efforts of the study may be wasted. The best way to do this may be to record the proceedings so that no details are lost.
◆ Analyze the data. Once all the data has been collected and organized, it must be analyzed. Using previous research or scientific information about the problem, the psychologist must apply the new data gathered.
◆ Publish the information learned. The final step of the scientific method in psychology is publishing the results of the study. 【5】 Most psychological experiments are published in scientific journals.

【题目】Of the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children, this one is the most modest, but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.
The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily and giving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, who’ve been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.
One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave — how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But children’s thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish you’d see this delightful film to find out.
【1】 Koichi wishes the volcano to erupt so that he can ______.
A. enjoy the wonderful scene of a volcano
B. help those who suffer from the eruption
C. get together with his family members
D. work miracles during the disaster
【2】Which of the following statements is true of the film?
A. It is set in a volcano eruption.
B. It is a serious science fiction movie.
C. It shows some dull and ridiculous behaviors.
D. It shows a lively and thoughtful world of children.
【3】What does the writer intend to do in this text?
A. To recommend a film.
B. To make a review on a film.
C. To share pleasures of watching a film.
D. To discuss kids’ behavior and thoughts.

If you become more positive, things will become brighter day by day. It’s not because things are any better, but because how you look at them will change. Here are a few things positive people do differently.They find something to look forward to every day. Whether it’s catching up on a favorite TV show, trying out a new dessert recipe, or having a phone conversation with a friend in another town, these things don’t have to be big. 【2】.【3】 Joy isn’t so hard to find. You can even find joy in the tiniest things — a funny text from a friend or a beautiful sunny day — because it adds up. Soon, you won’t have to stop and smell the roses because you’ll be smelling them all the time. So learn to enjoy the small things in your life.They stay busy. Being busy doesn’t mean living under much stress. 【4】It means having something to look forward to every day. Start a hobby. Fill your weekends with your hobby. Remember, living your life to the fullest is up to you.【5】 When in doubt, choose kindness. Positive people look on the bright side, sure, but they also tend to pay it forward by passing on their positive energy to others. Giving is generous, but it also makes the giver feel even better. Now that’s a win-win. Be kind to others and others will treat you in the same way. And your days will be much better.
A. It means filling your life with good activities. |
B. They celebrate small things. |
C. They are kind. |
D. They do something for fun. |
E. Kindness is most important. |
F. Having activities to expect will make you happy every day. |
G. But not all of us were born to be positive. |

【3】 If you study in such places as Spain and the Philippines, there are lots of foreign sights to see.
Studying abroad will also give you the chance to experience a totally different curriculum(课程). 【4】
Studying abroad is also a memory that can be valued for a lifetime. 【5】 Once you have made friends with your classmates, I’m pretty sure you will enjoy being with them in your hang-outs, in your parties, and even in helping out with each other’s homework.

B. Studying abroad also offers an opportunity to travel.
