【題目】What makes a camp great?

Did you take part in a camp this summer? There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.

Maybe you’ve never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals-opportunity, challenge and growth.

Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids don’t have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous news reporters there.

Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in overcoming the challenge. Then you will have a sense of accomplishment. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate (證書) to become a real lifeguard.

This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp personal growth. It doesn’t mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn’t know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.

So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: Is it a special opportunity? Is it a challenge? Will I grow?

But what about friendship,fun and joy? These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps! Have fun, make friends and learn cool new skills at a summer camp.

There are many different types of summer camps in the US. Some camps focus on (注重) playing games and having fun. Other camps focus on developing a certain skill or ability. In general, if you can think of a camp, then it probably exists. You just have to find it.

C.Summer camps help you understand your research.D.All great summer camps have the same main goals.

2If you want to be a news reporter, you can join __________.

【題目】 “You say your hair is gone?” Jim said like an idiot (白癡).

“You needn’t look for it,” said Della. “It’s sold, I tell you - sold and gone, too. It’s Christmas Eve, boy. It’s time for gifts. Be good to me, for it went for you. Maybe the hairs of my head were numbered,” she went on with a sudden serious sweetness, “but nobody could ever count my love for you.”

Jim drew a package from his overcoat pocket and threw it upon the table.

“Don’t make any mistake, Dell...” he said, “...about me. I don’t think there’s anything that could make me like my girl any less, no matter what hair style you have. But if you’ll open that package you may understand how I felt at first.”

She opened the package with her white fingers quickly and lightly. And then an excited cry of joy; and then, alas! a quick change to uncontrollable tears.

【題目】 When Emma Yang was 7 or 8 years old, her grandmother got Alzheimer's disease(阿爾茨海默。. It made her grandmother lose her memory. She couldn't even know her own family members.Yang, now 14, decided to create an app to help people with this disease.

Her app is called Timeless. It uses facial recognition technology. Alzheimer's patients can use the app to look at photos of their friends and family. The app will tell them who the person is and how they recognize(認(rèn)出)someone in the same room; they can take pictures and the app will try to identify them.

Yang got the idea after seeing how facial recognition is used in different areas, especially in health care. She worked with a tech company to create the facial recognition software that her app used. She learned to code(編碼)for the iPhone for the first time in the process.

The app is still in development. Yang is trying to raise money through crowdfunding(眾籌)so that she can take the next step. Though some may think that the app is too hard for older people to use, Yang is hopeful. “If you introduce it to them right away, it's actually possible for them to use it and it can really benefit their lives,” she said.

1Emma Yang's app was created to help people________.

A.who like taking photosB.who have Alzheimer's disease

C.who have lost their family membersD.who are too old to take care of themselves

2What can the app Timeless do?

【題目】Social Bond of Animals

Friendship is an important part of human life. Friends can share our joys and our hardships. We aren’t alone. Many different animals also make friends.

Recently , a British research team finished an eight-year study of Indo-Pacific dolphins off the coast of Western Australia. These dolphins can use different tools to search for food. The researchers found that these dolphins are more willing to hang out with partners that like the same tool. Other factors, like family closeness or sex, have no influence on this relationship.

“It suggests that dolphins form social bonds (紐帶)based on shared interests,w UK biologist Simon Allen told Science Daily. "Using different tools is time-consuming (耗時(shí)間的)” for dolphins to cooperate.

Apart from dolphins, elephants, horses and bats are also known to form friendships. Are friendships only limited to the same species? Of course not, The

Atlantic reported in 2015, a goat Timur was originally left in the tiger Amur's enclosure (圍場)as a meal. But instead of eating Timur, Amur likes to play with it and gets jealous when others are close to his friend.

The Atlantic said it’s not unusual among captive (圈禁的)animals. That's because in captivity, animals don’t need to spend much time and energy marking their territory (領(lǐng)地)or looking for mates the way they would in the wild. They are actually more likely to feel bored. " In this particular situation, the animal's motivation to engage (參與)socially and playfully may be higher than eating. n

More interestingly, animals not only make friends but also try to keep lasting friendships. Take bats for example. In 2011, scientists found bats prefer to hang out with a few certain friends, keeping loose ties to the rest of their group.

Humans aren't so different. “We do not work, play and live together with the same friends all the time," Swiss zoologist Gerald Kerth explained. But nevertheless, we are able to maintain long-term relationships despite our often highly dynamic (動(dòng)態(tài)的)social lives."

1What did the recent British research find about dolphins?

A.They form a group to look for food together.

B.They form friendships based on family closeness.

C.They are likely to make friends based on interests.

D.They are better at building friendships than other animals.

2What can we infer from Gerald Kerth’s words?

A.Animals like to hang out with different friends.

B.Animals might feel bored with friends of the same species.

C.Humans are better at keeping long-term bonds than animals.

D.Humans and animals make and keep friendships in similar ways.

3What's the passage mainly about?

A.How animals form and keep friendship.

B.The importance of friendship for animals.

C.How to build strong ties with your friends.

D.The different ways humans and animals socialize.

【題目】 How do you feel when your parents are not at home with you? Here is what Daniel and Laura said.

Daniel,

Well, I’ve had the experience of having to take care of my younger brother by myself. Sometimes it’s scary, but there are a lot of things making being home alone a lot of fun. My favorite thing to do is to watch television. It is like having another person to talk to. And if my brother and I are arguing, we make a deal. We play his game first, then he has to play mine, and both of us get what we want.

When I get a little scared, I just remember that there is always someone to call on the phone, and I have a lot of friends in the neighborhood, too.

Laura,

When I started staying at home alone, I would keep the TV or radio on. It seemed that there were more people in the house. I also always had the phone numbers of the people next door and my parents. When watching my younger brothers, I would play games with them, and leave more lights on than usual. I would also keep the phone number of the hospital nearby.

閱讀以上信息,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容判斷下列各小題的正誤。正確的填A,錯(cuò)誤的填B。

1The kids are talking about their experiences of staying at home without their parents.

2Daniel thinks his experience is awful.

3When watching younger brothers, Laura won’t play games with them.

4Both Daniel and Laura agree it’s necessary to stay with a brother or sister when they’re alone at home.

5Daniel’s favorite thing to do is to watch television.
