2．One day after more than a month of classes，I read aloud a paragraph from my book，recognizing all of the characters smoothly except one.I sat back and started to register a sense of achievement：I was actually reading Chinese.The language was starting to make sense.But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed，Teacher Liao said， "Budui！"
It meant，literally， "Not correct."You could also translate it as "no" "wrong" "nope" "uhuh" and "flatly and clearly incorrect".There were many Chinese words that I didn't know，but I knew that one well.
A voice in my head whined "All of the rest of them were right；isn't that worth something？"But for Teacher Liao it didn't work like that.If one character was wrong，it was simply budui.
"What's this word？" I asked，pointing at the character I had missed.
"Zhe—the zhe in Zhejiang."
"The third tone？"
"The fourth tone."
I breathed deeply and read the section again，and this time I did it perfectly.That was a victory—I turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said （or at least I imagined them saying ）"How do you like me now？" There seemed to be some satisfaction in her eyes，but she simply said， "Read the next one."
It was her way of teaching.Success was expected and failure was criticized and immediately corrected.You were right or you were budui；there was no middle ground.
I grew to hate budui.The bu was a rising tone and the dui dropped abruptly，just as my confidence was built and then it broke down all at once.And it bothered me all the more because I knew that Teacher Liao was only telling the truth：Everything I did with the language was budui.I was an adult，and as an adult I should be able to accept criticism where it was needed.But that wasn't the American way；I wanted to be praised for my effort；I didn't mind criticism as long as it was candycoated.For Teacher Liao，the single B on the report card matters much more than all the A's that surround it：Keep working；you haven't achieved anything yet.
And so I worked harder.I was frustrated but I was also stubborn；I was determined to show Teacher Liao that I was dui.
（1）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "whined" in Paragraph 3？
A．Burst out.
B．Gave in.
C．Returned.
D．Complained.
（2）What did the author expect from Teacher Liao after he tried again？
A．Immediate correction.
B．A new challenge.
C．An encouraging response.
D．A strict comment.
（3）How did the author feel about Teacher Liao's way of teaching？
A．Candy coated.
B．Weakness focused.
C．Interest driven.
D．Criticism absent.
（4）What can we infer from the text？
A．The author was struggling with Liao's teaching.
B．The American way of teaching is better for adults.
C．The author was not gifted in language learning.
D．Teacher Liao was not friendly to her students.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.7 -
3．We all know that water is tasteless．But it happens from time to time：you pick up the bottle of water you didn't finish yesterday，and it tastes strange．Most often，you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin，believing that the water has gone bad．But is it true？
According to Time，of course not，taste has little to do with quality of water．
According to Time，when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours，carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water，and the pH value lowers slightly．As a result，the water has a different taste．
"But it's most likely safe to drink，" Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic． "If the water is covered and of good quality to start with，in principle it can last a thousand years．That's because when water is fresh，it contains little organic matter．As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles，no pollutants will enter it to harm our health．"
People in countries like the US，the UK and Australia usually drink tap water．According to Time，if tap water is drunk within six months，the chlorine （氯氣） in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink．
However，there are also some exceptions．If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day，microorganism （微生物） will enter the water．
With the help of surrounding temperature，and sunlight streaming through windows，these microorganisms multiply quickly．Sooner or later，the water will be in the charge of the unfriendly bacteria．And if you drink the water too often，then you're more likely to be ill．
And what about water in plastic bottles？Heat and plastic are a bad combination，US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses．When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures，they produce a chemical called BPA．BPA is something that affects hormones （荷爾蒙） and research has tentatively linked it to "several health damage，including heart disease and cancer"，Time reported．
Schwab suggests replacing disposable （一次性的） plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA．
（1）The purpose of the first paragraph is to．
A．show an example
B．draw a conclusion
C．a(chǎn)nalyze a phenomenon
D．introduce a topic
（2）Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree？
A．If the water tastes different，we shouldn't drink it．
B．The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink．
C．Although kept fresh，water may still have much organic matter．
D．Covered water can last for a thousand years．
（3）What can we infer from the passage？
A．BPA does little harm to our health．
B．Tap water is always safe to drink．
C．Microorganisms are easy to produce in the heat．
D．Disposable plastic bottles have been banned already．
（4）What can be the best title of the passage？
A．Why Water is Tasteless
B．How to Get Clean Water
C．Does Water Really Go Bad？
D．Learn to Protect Water組卷：2引用：3難度：0.7

9．It was raining pretty hard on Halloween， but that wasn't going to stop my little sister Kate and me from trick-or-treating． We decided to start at Miss Parson's house． Miss Parson was loved by us kids who lived near by because she often shared her self-made cookies with us． We usually finished them in a second， especially when we were hungry after class． Sometimes， when we visited her or did something for her， she always gave us Surprise
Kate and I wondered what kinds of treats she'd offer． As we walked down the street，I held an umbrella，a bag for Candy ，and my sister's hand． Jack-o-Lanterns gave soft light along the street． Spider webs hung in all the windows． Parents who were dressed up like monsters（怪物）stood in doorways． After we had walked a few blocks， we were wet from head to toes， and I felt Kate was trembling with cod．
There was a light on at Miss Parson's house， but there were no ghosts， goblins（小妖精），or Jack-o-Lanterns． We climbed up the steps and saw Miss Parson through a window． She was drinking a cup of hot tea．
"Maybe she doesn't celebrate Halloween，"Kate said with a sigh， disappointedly．
"Well， even if she doesn't， she usually likes it when we visit her，"I said and knocked on the door．
Miss Parson seemed surprised when she opened it and saw our dressing． "Is today Halloween？" she asked．"I completely forgot． I am so sorry!"
