This is largely because of Ah Keong. He is the noisiest of us all because he lives with his family of ten children. It seems that he cannot talk softly, actually he does not talk, he shouts. Padma Padma is a quiet boy who sits next to me. He is so soft that one would think that he is a girl. This is not so, no one dares to call him “girl”, for he is a member of the school karate club.

The dog bit all four of Mollys legs and left a large cut in her face. Mollys owner，Kaye Harris，took her to an animal hospital. Doctors there tried their best to save to Mollys life，but soon one of her legs became very infected(感染). The only way to save her life was to remove the leg.At first，doctors thought Molly would die. But Molly changed their minds. Doctors noticed that she shifted(转移)her weight，and rested her good leg from time to time. They knew that Molly had amazing cleverness and a strong will. She wanted to live. Several doctors operated on Molly，and removed her infected leg. A false(假的)leg was made for her and doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg. This horseshoe had a stamp of a smiling face in it!After the operation，Molly walked around on all four legs，as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now，with every step she takes，she stamps a smile in the dirt. Wherever she goes，Molly leaves her mark. Without saying a word，she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away， she leaves an impression.Molly leaves her mark in other ways, too. Kaye Harris takes Molly to schools，nursing homes，army bases and hospitals，Molly is famous because she makes people smile and gives them hope. A book is even written about Molly!

CFor those who havent heard of it，the Apple watch is the latest invention from the creators of the iPhone and Apple Mac. As the name suggests，this creation is a device(装置) designed to tell us the time. This is Apple，however, and an Apple watch is never just a watch. Not only does it show us the time，but it also as a fitness monitor and a messaging device that can be connected with an iPhone.Is this a smart invention or technology gone too far? While the Apple watch is stylish in appearance，I cant help but question certain aspects(方面)of the new device. Is it a positive thing to be able to receive messages through a watch，or is this another way of letting technology upset our social lives?Thanks to the invention of the smartwatch，we will no longer have to reach for our phones to check our messages. Imagine the possible results. A group of friends sitting at a table in a restaurant will overlook each other as everyone will be too busy watching their wrists in expectation of a new message. Students will have a way of checking their inbox during school, despite the fact that using mobile phones is not allowed in class. The list goes on. Although smartwatches may make communicating through technology easier, it seems that using them could actually hinder face-to-face communication.Much like a phone，the watch would also need to be charged(充电)every day. This is yet another aspect of the device which sets it apart from any“normal”watch. If，like me，you struggle when remembering to put your phone on charge，this is not necessarily a positive thing.I do have to agree，however，the watch has some interesting and purposeful functions(功能). As a fitness monitor，the device can be used to create and record exercise activities. This could be of particular interest to outdoor fans. While there are several existing Android Apps that can already do this，I can see that the Apple watch would be a more convenient way of exercising without a mobile phone. The question remains，however，is the price worth the benefits？While there are clearly both advantages and disadvantages when it comes to Apples latest invention，I personally like my single-purpose watch that simply tells me the time！What about you？Would you be interested in having a smartwatch？48.Thanks to the invention of the Apple watch,_. A. students dont use computers in class B. mobile phones dont need to charged C. messages can be checked without phones D. outdoor activities have became more popular49.The underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”. A. make up B. hold back C. depend on D. lock after50.From the passage, we can learn that the writer _. A. worries about the safety of the smartwatch B. thinks highly of the progress of technology C. introduces the newest kind of smartphones D. prefers single-purpose watches that tell the time51.What is probably the best title for this passage? A. The Apple Watch : The Latest Invention B. The Apple Watch : Smart and Fashionable C. The Apple Watch : Technology Gone Too Far? D. The Apple Watch : A Convenient Way to Exercise? DCircle of KnowledgeMost students today depend on the rapidness and convenience of the Internet to provide the facts they look for. Given a research task, many students make use of a website known as Wikipedia, which is available（可获得的）to all users of the Internet. However, before the introduction of the Internet, students journeyed to the library to search for facts, figures and stories in a huge collection of books known as encyclopedias（百科全书）.The word “ encyclopedia ”, meaning “ whole circle of knowledge ”, comes from the ancient Greek language. The first encyclopedias were organized by topic. These early collections were the works of single writer. The first book of this kind was written by a Roman, Pliny the Elder, nearly 2,000 years ago. Plinys collection remained popular almost 1,500 years. Producing such huge works was a difficult task. So experts began to work together, sharing responsibility for writing about different topics. The first set of books to use many authors was An Universal of Arts and Sciences published in 1728. The multiple-author model became the most widely used format.Today there are many encyclopedias in different media. The online encyclopedia Wikipedia was stared 2001, Users can visit the free website on the Internet, But the online information has mistakes. Users are warned that newer articles may have large mistake, Printed encyclopedias are more or less free of mistakes. However, it is expensive to make sure of the correctness.Wikipedia is trying to improve its correctness, They employ(雇佣)1,000”face checkers” to look through the website and correct mistakes, The website managers also state that older articles are more complete and balanced. Encyclopedia Britannica has even made moves away from being a single-format book too. The company stared a free online version. The free articles are short; however, longer articles are available after users pay for them.Both online and print editions(版本)have disadvantages. The mistakes can be corrected, but the process takes time. Print editions are resistant(顽固的)to such mistakes. They are also resistant to something else; change. Sometimes new information becomes available after an encyclopedia is printed. Publish can wait to include the new information in the next edition, but that might be a year or more away.More changes are likely for encyclopedias, whether in print or online. As time goes by, the knowledge of humankind will still need to be recorded, sorted, and stored. The story of how that information will look in 20,50 or even 100 years is still unwritten.52. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The readers of encyclopedias. B. The journey to the library. C. The history of encyclopedias. D. The change to the library.53. The problem of online encyclopedia Wikipedia might be that .A. the services cost too muchB. new articles cannot be foundC. users cannot visit the websiteD. the information has mistakes54. We can learn from the passage that .A. the future look of information is unknown to the worldB. older articles on the website are usually easy and shoreC. the first encyclopedias were the works of many writersD. print editions of encyclopedia change information fast 55. What is the purpose of writing the passage?A. To suggest reading printed encyclopedias.B. To advise people to use online encyclopediaC. To sell some edition of encyclopedias online.D. To introduce the development of encyclopedias.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。（共10分，每小题2分）Driven to See MoviesHave you ever thought of a new idea that you would like to try?

You can throw and catch them so that one is always in the air and the others in your hands. After perfecting this skill, you can add more balls.
