One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Smith called a family meeting. “We’ve had to make a difficult decision,” Mr. Smith said. “You see, your mother has been offered a post as manager of a television station in Chicago. Unluckily, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.”

Marc looked surprised, while his sister May breathlessly started asking when they would be moving. “It’s surprising, but exciting!” she said. Marc simply said, “We can’t go---I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!”

Mr. and Mrs. Smith hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more accustomed (适应) to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings.

When the morning of the move arrived, Marc was missing. His parents called Tommy Lyons’s house, but Mrs Lyons said she hadn’t seen Marc. Mrs. Smith became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.

What they didn’t know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with an idea of hiding in the Lyons’s attic (阁楼) for a few days. But as Marc walked past all the familiar sights of the neighbourhood: the fence he and his mother painted, the tree he and his sister used to climb and the park where he and his father often walked together, he changed the idea. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special?

C) Marc’s disagreement with his parents about their move.

D) Marc’s idea of hiding in the Lyons’s attic for a few days.

Take a trip to space

You might think that only astronauts can visit the moon, but this could 75 in the near future. US company Space plans to send tourists to the moon.

The first passenger to take a trip around the moon will be Japanese billionaire (亿万富翁) Yusaku. He plans to take off in 2023. He will not be 76 .

Yusaku will take Space’s Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) to the moon. The spaceship will not land on the moon, but will circle around it.

Running Robots

These robots will probably help police c 86 criminals. They’ll never fail because they’ll be able to run faster than humans.

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)

Chinese VS American Schools

There are many differences between the Chinese and American school systems.

Firstly, the subjects that students learn in Chinese schools are the same across China. Almost all classes in the country -- whether they are in math, science or English -- will use similar books and materials. The education goals for the country are set by the government. Students don’t have many choices of subjects they can take. However, in the USA, the 50 states all have slightly different school systems. Students take basic classes such as math, science and English, but they may also choose classes like computer science, music, art and business.

Secondly, the exam system is part of Chinese tradition. For hundreds of years, the Chinese have used exams to decide which people were the best to work in the government. Today, the exam system is used to decide which university students should attend and what they will study. In the USA, classes set tests, but students from different schools don't take the same test. Students apply to the universities they want to go to. They have to send their grades and write a letter about what they choose to study.

Class sizes are different. Teachers in China teach two classes a day, and they may have 50 to 60 students in a class. American teachers usually teach five or six classes a day because the classes are much smaller in each.

Chinese students stay within the same group while they are at a school. In the Chinese system, this group of students will learn their subjects together. Often, they will not switch (转换) classrooms. Instead, teachers will come to their classroom. In America, students are not grouped. Students can take a class together but then ________________________.They can have up to eight classes a day.

88. Students in Chinese schools learn the same material, don’t they?

89. Who sets the Chinese education goals?

90. How do American students apply to the universities they want to go?

91. Why do American teachers usually teach more classes than Chinese teachers a day?

92. How many differences between Chinese and American schools are mentioned in the passage?

93. What can be filled in the blank? (Fill in the blank with one sentence.)

VII. Writing (作文) (共20分)

94. Write at least 60 words on the topic “I tried my best to ________”（以“我尽全力______了”为题，写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格。）
