Andrs.B.Speaking the same language.C.Having a common love of music.DGiving Andrs some good advice.BKnow me before you judge meWhen I first started to work on this story,I thought maybe I shouldnt do it.I thought you might see that I have Down syndrome(唐氏综合征),and that you wouldnt like me.My mom thinks thats silly.“Have you ever met anyone who didnt like you because you have Down syndrome?”she asks me.Shes right,of course.When people ask mewhat Down syndrome is,I tell them its an intellectual disability(智力残疾)that makes it harder for me to learn things.I just want to be like everyone else.But having Down syndrome is what makes me“me”.And Im proud of who I am.Im a hard worker,a good person,and I care about my friends.A lot like youEven though I have Down syndrome,my life is a lot like yours.I read books and watch TV.I listen to music with my friends.Im on the swim team and in chorus at school.Some of my classes are with typical(正常的)kids,and some are with kids with learning disabilities.I have a helper who goes with me to my harder classes,like math and biology.She helps me take notes and gives me advice on how I should study for tests.It really helps,but I also make myself do well.For example,my goal(目标)was to be in a typical English class by 12th grade.And thats exactly what happened this year!Dream job:singerI try not to let anything get me down and just think of all the good things in my life,like that Ive made two songs.Right now,someone else is singing my songs,but someday,I want to be the one singing.See meBut I still have to tell myself all the time that it really is OK to just be myself.I cant change that I have Down syndrome,but one thing I would change is how people think of me.Id tell them:Judge(评 价)me as a whole person,not just the person you see.Respect(尊重)me and accept me for who I am.Most important,just be my friend.After all,I would do the same for you.36.The writer has Down syndrome,so.Apeople dont like her at allB its harder for

a typical English classD.she helped some kids with biology 38From the story,we know the writer is.Aclever and helpfulBshy and unconfidentClonely and nervousDactive and hardworking 39The story mainly tells us.A.we can change other people by offering help to themB.we should understand and respect people with disabilitiesC.people usually judge others by their success and appearanceD.people can make songs to help people with Down syndromeCAlthough we may not have the ability to paint the Mona Lisa,create music like Mozart,or write novels like Hemingway,everyone is born with a special abilitycreativity(创造力).Some people can find and learn to show it early,while others might discover it later in life.We are all creative,and we need to create as much as we need to eat,breathe and sleep.Creativity has different meanings for different people,but unluckily a lot of things may stifle the development of it.And the importance of creativity is not valued as much as it should be.However,it has a powerful effect(影响)on ones overall ability to get true happiness and success in life.If we stifle our creativity or lower its importance,we may create blockages(阻碍)in other parts of life.This can stop us from improving things like health,work and personal relationships.No matter how busy one is,it is very important to leave some time to develop creativity.Trying out different hobbies is a great way to discover ones creativity because it can be very enjoyable.Some people find one hobby and fall deeply in love with it.Some people prefer to try different hobbies for short time,or change them up each season to stay interested and keep trying different things.One great thing about a hobby is that there are no set rules.Each person gets to decide how often they want to do it and whether they want to keep it for a long time or move on to something else after trying it for a few weeks or months.Another cool thing about hobbies is that one can enjoy them quietly when spending some free time alone,or as a way to fit in a community(集体).Book clubs,art or cooking classes,gardening clubsnearly every type of hobby offers a chance to meet with other people with the same interest and build relationships.This could be helpful on both a personal and a professional(专业的)level.Hobbies can be a great way to create a community among co-workers.Sometimes if co-workers are not getting along,having them take part in a seemingly non-work-related hobby can be great for creating common ground.Usually,the simple act of developing hobbies can provide a chance for a person to find and show his or her creativity,which will produce great active changes.When people experience something as simple and great as creating something beautiful through hobbies,they begin to look at the worldand daily environmentsin a fresh,new way.40.From the passage,we can know.Awe are all born with creativity Bcreativity comes from happiness Cpeople usually value creativity very muchDcreativity means the same thing to everyone41.The underlined word“stifle”in Paragraph 1 probably means“”.AimproveBproduceCstopDlose 42Whats Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.There are no set rules to develop creativity.B.Trying different hobbies has lots of advantages.C.Its enjoyable to try different hobbies at different time.D.We can develop creativity by trying different hobbies.43.The writer probably agrees that.Ataking up simple hobbies wont change peoples lives Bcreativity can help people to look at the world actively Cits better to have a long-time hobby than find a new oneDenjoying a hobby alone can help fit in a community well六、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共 10 分,每小题 2 分)The Ross family is a busy one.The parents,Margy and Scott,both work for big companies and usually spend lots of time traveling for their jobs.Their daughter,Katie,is busy with schoolwork.Needless to say,great family time is hard to come by.So,vacations are veryimportant.They can help the family grow together.When Scott didnt have vacation in 2004,Margy planned a mother-daughter trip that included physical labor(劳动)along with a cultural experience.By searching forinternational volunteering(志愿服务)chances on the Internet,she found Global Volunteers.Together,Margy and Katie took part in a building project for a high school in Costa Rica.They really loved being part of the tiny local community and part of a team with like-minded people from different countries.Six months later for their Christmas trip,they went back,taking Scott this time.Since then,the Ross family have made seven trips to this community on their two-week family vacation each year.As Margy says,“Its almost like summer camp for the family.”For Scott,this kind of volunteer work is different because it provides chances to give back and brings personal satisfaction.“You can really see the fruits of your laborschool dining room and community center,”he says.“And one of the advantages is keeping in touch with a certain community;its great to see the community become a better place.”There was an especially unforgettable experience for t
