I sent a message to my sister at 12:30 p.m. during my lunch to ask her about my father’s progress. He was having his second knee surgery and my expectations were the same as the previous successful surgery. My brother picked me up from school and we headed for the hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital, my first question was “How is he doing?” My father was connected to a breathing machine and his face was very swollen. I tried my best not to cry because I was supposed to interpret for him what was happening as the nurses did not speak Spanish. I had never seen my father this way. He looked so fragile and different from the strong man I knew. I asked him how he was feeling and he said he was fine. I returned to the lobby and I was in a state where I realized that my hero, best friend, and loved one in life was in a dangerous state and at that point anything could happen.

I recalled what happened when I was a child. “I’m going to the store” was always his words, and that was without doubt my cue to follow him. We would walk to the car, and sometimes if I was lucky, I got away with sitting in the front seat. We would arrive at the store and he always said “Get whatever you want and something for Ana”; Ana is my sister. My dad and I were best friends. He never showed preference with his children, but I just always happened to follow him. It was okay for me to cry when I wanted something because I was his youngest girl, he couldn’t say no to me.

All along my father had dedicated his life to giving us the best. Growing up does not necessarily mean that one must distance oneself from his parents because it is childish; it is time to take action and embrace the feelings because it is the right thing to do. Life presents us with signals to acknowledge and value what is the most important in life.

7. How was the author’s father when she arrived at the hospital?

A. He was dangerously weak.

B. He was worried about his life.

C. He remained healthy and strong.

D. He was unconscious and couldn’t speak.

8. How did the author feel after knowing her father’s situation?

A. Sympathetic. B. Worried.

C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.

9. What can we learn about the author’s childhood?

A. She never took no for an answer.

B. She was her father’s favorite child.

C. She followed her father a lot as a young girl.

D. She got away from her family at an early age.

10. What advice does the author give at the end of the text?

A. Value your loved ones and be close to them.

B. Grow up and share your parents’ responsibility.

C. Care about your parents’ health before it’s too late.

D. Distance yourself from your family and be independent.

If there was a subject at school that made me anxious, it was science. Maybe that’s because in my tenth grade, I couldn’t understand my physics teacher’s instructions, causing me to accidentally set fire to the classroom. So, when my husband and I decided to homeschool our daughters, we made a deal: he would teach science, while I would handle everything else. But that’s not how things have been going these past few weeks since my husband has been too busy to teach the girls.

Recently, while out on my morning hike before starting lessons, I noticed that the sky was a beautiful blue, and the air was filled with the sweet smell of flowers. That’s why I decided that the day’s lessons would be taught outside, although I remembered that my daughters hadn’t had any science classes from my husband for a while.

I returned to the house to get the girls ready. We headed up into the forest, settling ourselves by a pond that rarely has any visitors. My daughter Saoirse started to pick up pondweed and catch frogs, while my other daughter Ula looked at me, waiting to be instructed. I handed her a drawing board and colored pencils. “We wait,” I told her, “and see if something comes along. In the meantime, just draw what’s around you.”

We worked for more than an hour, hardly speaking. A bird flew across the water, and then settled in front of a fallen tree. I quickly told Ula, worrying that she’d not seen the creature. But she had, and she started drawing it. An hour later, she finished her picture and I stared down at it. She drew the bird on her paper with amazing accuracy. But there was one other interesting fact about this drawing: she also drew me, sitting beside her.

I realized, as I stared at this child’s drawing of us watching a bird, how I’d lived for 40 years, received 10 years of higher education, and never understood the foundation of science before this moment. The foundation of science is a sense of wonder; it isn’t about accurately reciting words from a textbook. It is first and foremost about stepping outside our busy lives and being amazed at the world around us.

11. How did the author feel about science when in school?

A. She was nervous about it.

B. She was fond of it.

C. She was confused about it.

D. She was eager for it.

12. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”.

A. the fallen tree B. the forest

C. the bird  D. the picture

13. Which of the following best describes Ula?

A. She’s very outgoing.

B. She’s good at observing.

C. She’s very hard－working.

D. She shares interests with her sister.

14. What is the foundation of science in the author’s opinion?

A. Attention to accuracy.

B. Curiosity about the outside world.

C. Determination to find out the truth.

D. The ability to understand teachers’ instructions.

It was the early morning of August 5,1888, and her husband was still sleeping. She left a note for her husband on the table, saying that she and their two sons had already left to visit Pforzheim, Germany, 90 kilometers away. She purposely didn’t mention her means of transportation. It wasn’t until Carl Benz checked the workshop in his factory that he realized his family hadn’t taken the train. His new invention was gone.

Bertha had just committed the world’s first car theft. Her husband was a brilliant engineer who had designed the world’s first automobile in 1885. However, without sharp business mind, his product wasn’t going anywhere. Bertha understood what every modern business knows: marketing a product requires different skills than designing one. To provide a proof that the vehicle was reliable and could also master long-distance routes, she intended to drive with the motor from Mannheim to Pforzheim to show what it could do.

Once the three hit the road, they had to conquer novel problems. At 2.5 horsepower, they could not climb steep slopes without pushing it from behind. Going downhill, the car burnt out the brake shoes. Bertha stopped off at a cobbler and asked him to equip the brake shoes with a leather lining. In so doing, Bertha Benz became the inventor of brake lining. The fuel amount was also underestimated. Bertha made her first fuel purchase at the Stadtapotheke, where the store still proudly displays a sign of being the first gas station in the world.

Following the “first shock”, as written in his memoirs, Carl felt an inner pride in his wife’s daring “test drive”. And sales soon stepped up with the spread of Bertha’s daring trip. Today, drivers can still experience this part of Mercedes-Benz success story along the Bertha Benz Memorial Route between Mannheim and Pforzheim, just as the first woman driver did.

15. Why did Bertha secretly take the road trip?

A. To save money on long-distance train fares.

B. To teach children how to drive automobiles.

C. To prove the performance of Carl’s invention.

D. To understand the knowledge of modern business.

16. What does the underlined word “novel” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Unexpected. B. Common. C. Additional. D. Slight.

17. What can we learn from the passage about Bertha’s trip?

A. Bertha’s trip ended at the Stadtapotheke.

B. Bertha’s trip helped to promote car business.

C. The car turned out to be a failure on the road.

D. Bertha fixed the brake shoes herself during the trip.

18. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. A Regrettable Crime B. A Surprising Discovery

C. A Creative Invention D. A Pioneering Undertaking

Remember Vitaminwater’s “free of rolling screens for a year” challenge that people to be free from smart－phones for a whole year will win $100,000? Well, Elana Mugdan, a New York woman, has been into it for eight months, and just four months away from claiming the grand prize.

Vitaminwater made news headlines last December when it announced its unique challenge. Thousands of people applied to be chosen as the perfect candidate to spend a year without touching their smart phones, but in the end, the only person who got to try and survived for an entire year without a handheld smart phone was Elana Mugdan, a 29－year－old fiction writer from Queens, New York. Eight months into the challenge, she claims it has been a free and eye－opening experience that shows her just how dependent she becomes on her smart phone. Even though there are times when she misses her handheld smart phone, she plans to go on living without it even after the challenge ends, because she really doesn’t want to go back to days when she overused it, wasted time, stayed up all hours of the night on it, and was obsessed with social media.

But not having access to her smartphone really made certain situations a lot harder than she could have imagined them before. “Many people did me a favor. However，once，I almost get stranded (被滞留的) in the Sea－Tac Airport because the phone number I’d written down was wrong, and I had no way of referring to the right one, no way of calling a cab, and no one in the state who could help me,” the young writer said.

Another time, her car’s “check engine” light turned on while she was driving in an unfamiliar area at night. She couldn’t use her phone’s GPS, or even check what the light meant online or find a nearby car repair shop. But she learned to overcome these situations. And now she claims the last eight months of phone－free life have been one of the best adventures of her life and that she’ll keep it for another four months.

19. What’s the challenge “free of rolling screens for a year”?

A. People free from smartphones can live a richer life.

B. People living a telephone－free life can be awarded money every year.

C. People living without computers for a year will win a grand prize.

D. People spending a year free from smartphones will get a reward.

20. Which phrase can replace the underlined part “obsessed with” in paragraph 2?

A. Satisfied with. B. Accustomed to.

C. Addicted to. D. Popular with.

21. What does Elana Mugdan mainly want to express in paragraph 3?

A. It’s fantastic to have someone to help her all the way.

B. It’s unimaginable to lose her phone number on the way.

C. It’s unnecessary to refer to information with a smartphone.

D. It’s difficult to get out of the trouble without a smartphone.

22. What can we learn about Elana Mugdan?

A. She couldn’t live without a smart phone.

B. She finds no one can help her in the adventure.

C. She has not won the grand $100，000 prize yet.

D She used to use her smartphone to write fiction.

Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.

I know exactly how you feel. Teenage life can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to observe and analyze your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. To top it all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up. I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!

As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my chores on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my assignments, study for the upcoming tests and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while striking a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, quoting from Benjamin Franklin, “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”

Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems as a teenager appear because we hate doing things. We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life；your parents won’t let you go out with friends because you haven’t cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven’t finished your assignments.

23. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 1?

A. Teenage life is tough.

B. Teenagers can’t enjoy life.

C. Teenage life is changeable.

D. Teenagers should learn more.

24. What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer?

A. The adolescent changes.

B. The lack of life experience.

C. The failure of concentration.

D. The unfamiliar surroundings.

25. How did the writer feel about her teenage life?

A. It was difficult. B. It was simple.

C. It was enjoyable. D. It was boring.

26. What does the writer advise teenagers to do?

A. Abandon their friends.

B. Go and have fun.

C. Complete their homework.

D. Shoulder the burden.
