• 2．Madison stared through the window and watched a puffy white cloud pass over the woods across from the school.It must be wonderful to be a bird，she thought.Total freedom.No math class to sit in；and her days would be spent on horseback.She thought of her horse，Star.
     "Madison.Could you please join us again？" Mrs.Smith said. "I was just asking the class if anyone had any problems with the homework assignment."
     "Well.I didn't have any problems doing it，but I had problems remembering to put it in my school bag after I did it." Some giggling spread through the room.
     "Madison.I don't know what I am going to do with you.You're such a smart girl but you just don't apply yourself.Class，clear your desks.Our guest is here and welcome Doctor Landon.He is a veterinarian （獸醫(yī)）.He came here today as part of our continued Career Explorations Program."

     Gradually，Madison knew Doctor Landon had come to her town and house when her horse，Star，needed care.She liked it that he even knew her horse's name. "So，you just travel around and take care of horses all day long？"

• 3．Nowadays' countries are eager to get more electric cars on the road because moving away from gas-powered vehicles is vital to fighting climate change.China says that most new vehicles sold by 2035 will be electric.The United Kingdom will ban new gas-powered cars in30.One of the world's major automakers，General Motors （GM），announced that it would stop selling gas-powered cars by 2035.
     The key to an electric future is batteries.Automakers are racing to pack the most energy into the smallest one.The lithium-ion battery is what powers our mobile devices，which can be recharged again and again.Making these batteries has an environmental cost.Lithium is taken from the earth，like the oil used to make gasoline.But the long-term cost is much smaller. "Once you burn gasoline，you can't recycle it，" says Jessika Trancik，a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "But when you use up a battery，you can still recycle the material."
     It's up to governments to make electric cars accessible to everyone.National policies can help.In the United States，an electric Chevy Volt costs about ＄35，000.Trancik says charging stations must also be made widely available.As part of an effort to fight climate change，America plans to build half a million of them in the US by 2030.She hopes enough charging stations will be built soon. "It's important to put chargers where many different people can have access to them，" she says. "Not just wealthier people."
     Last year，almost 5% of approximately 67 million new cars sold worldwide were electric.
     For Venkat Viswanathan，a professor of mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University，green electricity is part of the solution to climate change，and electric cars are just the beginning.He sees a future of solar-powered homes and electric flying cars. "Soon，a plug-in vehicle might be as cheap as a gas-powered car.It is now abundantly clear that electric is the future，" he says. "It will be a totally new world."
  
  （1）Which word best describes Trancik's attitude to the lithium-ion battery？

  
  A．Conservative.
  B．Skeptical.
  C．Positive.
  D．Disapproving.
  （2）What does Trancik indicate about charging stations in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．They should come down in price.
  B．They may be unfairly laid out.
  C．Enough of them have been built.
  D．They favor more ordinary people.
  （3）What can be inferred from Viswanathan？

  
  A．Gas-powered cars will be cheaper.
  B．Green electricity will be widely used.
  C．The price of batteries will drop sharply.
  D．Electric vehicles will beat climate change.
  （4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．Charging Stations Are Needed.
  B．Vehicles Have Clean Options.
  C．Climate Change Fuels Electricity.
  D．Our Cars Are Going Electric.

• 9．My parents do a lot of embarrassing things!Usually，it's my dad who sings silly songs or tells corny jokes around my friends.But a few weeks ago，it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
      While my mom and I were shopping，we ran into my teacher；who mentioned that the school didn't have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair.And，right then and there，my mom said，"I know the perfect song and dance.I'll teach it to the kids!" Before I could say"Please don't，" my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9：30 for a week.Oh，and just to be clear.it's not as if she's a professional entertainer.My parents run a small grocery store，and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
      "Um，" I said on our way home，"are you sure this is such a good idea？""Of course!" she said."If we want your school Winter Fair to happen，people need to step up and volunteer." "I know volunteering is important，" I said， "but couldn't you help out in Tex and Indi's kindergarten instead？" She laughed，
  "Don't be silly.We will have fun!"
      "OK，fellas!" my teacher said at 9：28 on Monday."We're going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair.Let's all welcome Arizona's mother."
      I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world's silliest snowflake hat."I'm super excited to be here with you!" my mom said，"I'm going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years back，when I did some theater in college.Here goes!"
      Oh please，oh please，I said over and over in my head，let there be a fire drill，or an assembly，or a power failure，or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself- -and me...
      But apparently，my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly.She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
  
      "I can't believe this is happening" was all I could think._________
      My mom turned out to be more than a little OK at performing._________
