It makes wishes come true for children who have serious illnesses. It gives them hope and joy and helps them forget about their health problems and have fun.It all started in 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona. Christopher was a 7-year-old boy who was very sick. He always dreamed of becoming a police officer. Tommy Austin and Ron Cox, two police officers, made his wish come true. They gave Christopher a tour of the city in a police helicopter (直升机) and made a real police uniform for him.There are four kinds of wishes children usually have:I wish to go. Children usually want to travel or go to a concert, a game or a park.I wish to meet. Children sometimes want to meet their favourite actors, singers or players.I wish to be. Some children wish to become actors, singers or police officers.I wish to have. They often want to have a computer, a game, a bike or many other things.Lets hope more wishes will come true in the future. People who work in the charity always try for the best. Almost 25,000 volunteers help, work or give money. Will you be one of them?24 . Which kind of wishes does Christopher have?AI wish to go.BI wish to meet.CI wish to be.DI wish to have.25 . The purpose of the last paragraph is to _.Aexplain what “Make-A-Wish” isBencourage more people to join the charityCtell us how Christophers wish came trueDintroduce different kinds of childrens wishes26 . Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?ASick children just wish to get well.BChristopher and Tommy are two officers.CFew people are working for “Make-A-Wish”.D“Make-A-Wish” has a history of over 30 years.In one of my classes today we discussed the question of how our lives would be without a phone and I actually felt quite sad to hear how some kids these days cannot survive without their mobiles. Personally，I think nowadays we are controlled by our technology and pressurised（加压的）to keep up.So lets see some of the points that came up in the debate and see if our generation really is addicted to electronic connections rather than true communication.It is true that everything works at a fast pace these days，due to the quick access we have to pretty much anything and anyone. For example，you can contact someone who lives on the other side of the world within seconds. This is great if you think about bow connected we can stay to the people who are far away from us；however，on the contrary，can we be too connected to the people who are close to us? An argument arose（出现）about the fact that it is easier to message someone from your sofa than to meet them in person and talk. On one hand，it is easier and nice sometimes to carelessly chat to a friend this wayHowever，it is also lazier and rude to prefer to talk to someone on your phone rather than meeting up，if you are able to，in my opinion. Social skills are important to have and if you are not going to put effort into real-life communication，then you are not going to progress in this ability. Another point was that phones are very handy to look up something that you are wondering about. For example，if you dont know a word in another language,you can quickly and simply use a translator to help you out. This can be very helpful in many situations，but it can also make a person dependent on the internet to help with anything. This factor slightly takes away the diversity（多样性）“learning a language and speaking with people，as you are able to access everything you need by the web.All in all，this question is very interesting to consider for oneself as we become day by day more dependent on technology. We should just realize how much we really need to be connected by our phones while considering the benefits and damage it can cause us.27 . What can we infer from the first paragraph?AThey had a discussion about using phone.BFew of us are controlled by technology.CThe writer was in high spirit to hold the discussion.DTrue communication has become less.28 . What does the underlined phrase is addicted to”in Paragraph 2 mean?Adepends too much onBhas something to do withCfalls into troubles ofDmoves on from29 . Whats the writers main purpose in writing this passage？ATo improve our social skills.BTo tell us the disadvantages of talking by phones.CTo persuade us to meet people whore close to us in person and talk.DTo ask us to just think its necessity when we use electronic connections.30 . Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?ACan You Imagine Life without a Phone?BTalking on Your Phone or Meeting Up?CDoes It Benefit You to Use Electronic Connections?DDo We depend too Much on Electronic Connections?Bai Yansong, a famous TV host, expressed his support for students wearing green scarves (绿领巾) at a primary school in Xian. He wore a green tie on a TV program on October 19, 2011. “I just want the students to know that Im also wearing green. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves.”The First Experimental Primary School in Xian made children with poor schoolwork and behavior wear green scarves. Parents whose children wore green scarves were angry. “The children still need their self-esteem (自尊心) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right,” said one mother. Now, the school has stopped the practice.Educational expert Li Zhenxi said that primary and junior high school students have strong self-esteem. They are eager to be respected and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “Its better to encourage them rather than separating some bad students,” he said.A survey made by the Ministry of Education (教育部) shows that 75 percent of students feel nervous and scared when the teacher is about to announce their grades. Some schools have done better in protecting students privacy and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using student names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Some teachers might call the students up to the desk and tell them their scores one at a time.But test scores are not the only measures of a students ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard.31 . Bai Yansong wore a green tie in a TV program in order to _.Ashow people his special dressing styleBcall on people to live a green lifeCtell students green-scarf students are also good studentsDremind students wearing green scarves means being bad32 .

According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?APrimary school students are too young to know what self-esteem is.BSeparating some “bad” students helps create good learning environment.CMost “good” students like their teachers to announce their scores.DUsing secret numbers instead of students names can protect their privacy better.34 . Which of the following may the writer agree with?AThe green scarves system can make students work hard.BStudents ability should not be measured only by test scores.CStudents who get low marks should use secret numbers.DTeachers should tell students their scores secretly one by one.35 .
