　　楷体【2016苏州市吴中区调研测试一】 Starting from my second year of primary school, there was one event I hated every year: the piano recital(演奏会). I didn't want to practice a boring piece of music and was scared to perform in front of strangers. Each year I would ask my father if I could skip(跳过)the recital "just this once". And he would say something about building self-confidence and working toward a goat.

　　So I was very satisfied when I stood in church and watched my father play the piano during his very first recital. My father wanted to play music when he was small. But his mother couldn't afford lessons.

　　Three years ago, when he retired, he asked the church music director, Charles, to take him as a student. Just before the recital, Charles told me my dad was playing "the best I've ever seen him."

　　For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard, he simply stared(注视)down at his fingers. I wondered whether he would even begin.

　　But then Aram Khachaturian's Meldy began. It seemed that my father was so focused on

　　the music that he didn't realize we were there.

　　My dad made it through Melody and then through another sting. Although he didn't have much skill, he made up for it in feeling.

　　My 11-year-old son Jeff was there. "So what did you think about your granddad?" I asked Jeff later. "He was great," Jeff replied.

　　My father may not have reached his best musically, but in his grandson's eyes, he's at the top of the mountain.

　　Carole’s Cooking Journal

　　Monday, April 6

　　This month, we had to choose an optional activity. Should it really be called “optional” if you have to do it? Unfortunately, I waited until the last minute to sign up. Many of the activities were already full, but I made a decision to join the Cooking Club because at least that way I would get a snack to eat.

　　Tuesday, April 7

　　It was the first time to be here. Like many of my ideas, joining the Cooking Club made sense at first but was turning out to be a disaster. Most people have been in the club for more than a year, so they already know what they’re doing. And since they all know each other, they weren’t exactly interested in a newcomer.

　　Thursday, April 9

　　What a terrible day! How could I know that if a recipe says to beat cookie batter (糊), you couldn’t do it with your fists (拳头)? I thought the other kids would never stop laughing. And it was not easy to get cookie batter off your clothes.

　　Friday, April 10

　　I have more funny things in Cooking Club. Now I know that chocolate mousse is a dessert and it isn’t spelled m-o-o-s-e. “Mousse” and “Moose” (驼鹿) sound exactly the same. So I don’t think my question about whether vegetarians(素食者) can eat chocolate mousse was really that silly.

　　Monday, April 13

　　One of my bright ideas worked out for a change! Everyone laughed when I handed out the chocolate “moose” cookie that I made yesterday, but this time I was laughing, too. The peanut butter antlers(鹿角) were a huge hit. We’re even planning to bake more cookies for the school food festival next week.

　　69. Carole chose the Cooking Club because _________.

　　A) She liked making different kinds of food.

　　B) Cooking club was the only activity she could choose.

　　C) She could get some food in the Cooking Club.

　　D) It was not open to the students until the last minute.

　　70. How did Carole feel when she joined the club for the first time?

　　A) Excited. B) Frightened. C) Pleased. D) Lonely.

　　71. Why did the writer beat the cookie batter with her fists?

　　A) Because she was upset about being in the club.

　　B) Because she misunderstood a cooking recipe.

　　C) Because she didn’t know how to use tools.

　　D) Because she was laughed at by other kids.

　　72. What did Carole think of mousse at beginning?

　　A) She thought eating mousse was silly.

　　B) She thought mousse was a kind of animal.

　　C) She thought mousse didn’t taste good.

　　D) She thought only vegetarians can eat mousse.

　　73. The underlined word “huge hit” is the closest in meaning to “ ”.

　　A) great successB) sweet dessert

　　C) big disasterD) beautiful decoration

　　74. How long has Carole been in the Cooking Club according to the journal?

　　A) About one week. B) About one month.

　　C) About two weeks. D) About two months.

　　VI. A. 69. C 70. D 71. B 72. B 73. A 74. A

　　【2016无锡市锡北片一模】 I didn’t want to be a bodybuilding champion. I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.

　　Deep, deep down ask myself, “Who do you want to be?” Not what, but who. I’m talking about thinking it out for yourself, “What makes you happy?”

　　You have to think outside the box. That’s what I believe, after all. What’s the point of being on this Earth if all you want to be is be killed and avoid trouble?

　　We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Don’t break the law, but break the rules.

　　I remember that after I had finished with my body building career I wanted to act. I wanted to be a star in films. Everyone had the same thought that I couldn’t be done. They said, “Look at this body, you have this huge monstrous(巨大的)body, you’re overly developed.” They thought I wouldn’t fit into movies. But I didn’t listen to them. Those were their rules. I was completely certain that I could do it.

　　Then I got my big break（重大转机）in Conan the Barbarian. That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.

　　On that movies the director said, “If we didn’t have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one.” Then when I did. The Terminator, I said, “I’ll be back…” One of the famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy accent（腔调）. It just shows that you should never listen to those who say you can’t do something.

　　Don?t be afraid to fail. In everything that I have tried, I’ve always been willing to fail. Don’t be afraid of making decisions. You can’t be paralyzed(吓倒) with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You can push because you believe in yourself and your imagination. You know it’s the right thing to do and success will come. Don’t be afraid to fail.

　　Can you write down a Chinese word being read to you? Sometimes it can be difficult when you find the word is not included in most dictionaries.

　　Lu Jialei, 14, from Hangzhou Foreign Language School, won the CCTV Chinese Character (汉字) Spelling Contest on Oct 18th, 2013. About 160 people competed. The host read a word to the contestant, explained its meaning and gave sample sentences. The contestant was required to write down the word.

　　Winning the contest was a “surprise” to Lu. “I was not the smartest one,” she said. “But I paid attention to details.” To prepare for the contest, she and her teammates studied the Modern Chinese Dictionary for 10 days. There are more than 56,000 entries (词条) including characters, words and phrases in it. She also had a secret weapon. She studied how Chinese characters were formed.21·cn·jy·com

　　“When others paid attention to the plot of a story, she looked at how authors use words and sentences to express themselves,” said Su Yunsheng, Lu’s Chinese teacher. Su is happy to see students like Lu find the beauty of Chinese language.

　　“Besides using something Chinese and having Chinese traditional festivals, learning to write Chinese characters is also an important part of inheriting (传承) Chinese culture,” said Su.

　　【2016济南市天桥区二模】They are children of the stars. They are not deaf, but they sometimes ignore information from outside. They are not blind, but they sometimes have no eye contact with people around them. They are not dumb, but they sometimes don’t speak to anyone. They are autistic(自闭症的) children, living alone in their own worlds.

　　This winter holiday, I took part in a public welfare activity about audism with my classmates from Feb 17 to 18. The moment we stepped into the autism center, I was shocked by what I saw. With their heads hanging down, most children stayed silent, paying no attention to what was going on. When we introduced ourselves, they didn’t look up at us until their parents had reminded them to do so again and again. At that time, I knew that they would need a great deal of attention.

　　To my surprise, when they were doing outdoor activities, the kids were energetic and active. Whether they were doing morning exercises or playing games, every child wore a shining smile on his or her face. We played the games “The eagle catches the chickens” and “The fisherman”, which brought us closer than before. The children started to look at us with curious eyes and began to communicate with us. In art class, they even actively pulled our fingers and pointed to their pieces of paper.

　　During our two days of activities, we not only played with these autistic children, but also made every effort to help them. Our group members found as much information as possible on the Internet and discussed every possible way in which we could enter their hearts. In addition, in order to improve their living conditions, we made an online donation. I felt the seed (种子) of love blooming in me when I received money from others.

　　【2016江苏扬州市邗江区一模】 A priest(牧师) had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent(弯曲) down, he could then reach up and get the kitty. He did so, checking his progress in the car again and again, then work out if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke.

　　The tree went ?boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air — out of sight. The priest felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen his kitty. Nobody had seen a lost kitty.

　　So, he prayed, ?God, I just give this kitty to your keeping,” and went on about his business.

　　Several days later he was at the grocery store, meeting one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Before this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”

　　She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging(恳求) her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if _________, you can keep it.” She told the priest, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. You won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her. ”
