When I was eight, I saw a movie about an island that had an erupting volcano and jungles filled with wild animals．The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the V olcano．It was a low budget movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life．But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten．The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end．My house, furniture and everything I'd owned was sold to pay debts that I didn't even know existed．In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family．
I'd lost everything except my four teenage children．I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii．Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive．I was afraid they were right．
I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day．One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange lava（火山岩）pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance．It was time to live my imagination!
The next day, I quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what I loved．I hadn't painted a picture in 15 years．I wondered if 1 could Still paint．My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush．But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas（画布）in front of me．And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too．The first painting sold for $ 1500．The past six years have been filled with adventures．My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim （火山口边缘）of the volcano．We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us．
The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality．I'm living freely and happily ever after．

The Homeless World Cup is an international football tournament, where teams made up entirely of people who are homeless compete．The event has been held annually since 2003．
It was at the end of 2001 that Mel Young, a famous expert in the media industry, came up with the idea of the Homeless World Cup．18 months later the first event took place in Austria．It was such a success that people decided to do more．
There are some interesting and special rules of the event．For example, players（male or female at least 16 years old）must have been homeless at some time after the previous-year's World Cup, or make their main living income by selling newspapers in the street, or be asylum （政治避难）seekers．Anyone can take part, regardless of his or her abilities．
There are at most 4 players per team to compete in the field．Games are 14 minutes long．
In 2007, 48 nations, 500 players took a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent their countries for true spirit and glory in Copenhagen, Denmark．The winner in 2007 was Scotland．The 2008 Homeless World Cup took place in Melbourne, Australia．And in 2009 it was held in Milan．The latest Homeless World Cup was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in September 2010．Paris 2011 Homeless World Cup．takes place August followed by the Mexico City 2012 Homeless World Cup．
The success of the competition has been in two aspects—to attract the world's attention to the problems of homelessness and also to help participants live a better life．
According to a survey by the Homeless World Cup Organization after 2006 Homeless World Cup, 92% of the players had a new motivation for life, 93 players successfully got rid of their dependency on drugs and alcohol, 44% improved their housing situation and 72% continued to play football．

Although new laws have been passed in some American states to cut down on Distracted(分心的）driving , many accidents and deaths were still related with it, especially using cell phones while driving．Recently the Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars aiming to cut down cell-phone-related road deaths．Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the nation's anti-distracted-driving supporter, said in an interview on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars．"I think it will be done," LaHood said．"I think the technology is there and I think you're going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones- We need to do a lot more if we were going to save lives．"
Also on Thursday, the transportation government started a new "Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign that features people who have been killed or lost their loved ones because of inattentive drivers．The video features heartbreaking stories of children killed, in crashes because of phoning or text messaging, and new videos are expected to be added every few weeks．
A driver is four times more likely to crash while using a mobile phone．More than 5,500 people were killed last year by distracted drivers, and another 500,000 were injured．LaHood has said it is never safe to talk on a cell phone while driving, hands-free or not, because it can really cause distraction．
Incidentally, a lot of people seem to agree with this viewpoint—a new research shows nearly two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving, even if the driver is using a hands-free device（装置）．But the research didn't ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices．
63．We can learn from the text that Ray LaHood _____．
A．is in charge of the invention of the technology
B．is strongly for the use of the technology in cars
C．thinks it's easy and practical to invent the technology
D．thinks it's unnecessary to use cell phone while driving
64．The "Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign aims to _____．
A．find out the real drivers who caused the accidents
B．show that most of the victims in car crashes are children
C．make the public aware of the terrible results of distracted driving
D．call on drivers to buy the new device which disables cell phones in cars
65．In the last paragraph, the "mobile phone scramblers" are probably _____.
A．a kind of disabling devices
B．a kind of hands-free devices
C．a new kind of cell phones
D．new devices to help text messaging
66．We can infer from me text that _____．
A．most people realize the harmfulness of distracted driving
B．the disabling devices in cars will be widely used if it is free
C．most people would like to choose hands-free devices while driving
D．the writer is not sure whether disabling devices will be accepted by the drivers

Are you stressed out, scared or worried all the time? Do you avoid going to certain places, seeing friends or
doing certain things because of your worries? Do your worries keep you awake at night? If you've answered yes, you may be suffering from anxiety．
Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life．Anxiety is your brain's way of telling you about danger．It is anxiety which helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you．But if it gets out of hand, anxiety can get in the way of your getting on with life and can become a real problem．If this is the case for you, treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control．
Anxiety is a normal part of life．Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations．There are lots of reasons for this．One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life．So, if you are involved in a car crash, it's quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving．
Being anxious also probably runs in families．If your parents suffer from anxiety then you are more likely to be anxious too．This is probably partly due to genetics, and partly because of how things are when you're growing up．Even though people don't talk about it much, anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems．About 1 in 4 people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life．
If you have an anxiety problem it's hard for other people to understand why something that doesn't worry them, like being in a crowd of people, can be so scary for you．This can make you feel separated and lonely, as may become worse and worse．
The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety．These include taking therapies （疗法）and drugs．
67．Which of the following statements is true about, anxiety?
A．With anxiety you are far away from traffic accidents．
B．It's abnormal for people to get too anxious after a stressful thing．
C．Almost everybody has a certain degree of anxiety in certain situations．
D．When you feel stressed out, scared or worried, you are surely suffering from anxiety．
68．Which of the following reasons for anxiety is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Illness．B．Experience．
C．Genetics．D．Environment．
69．What can we infer from the fifth and sixth paragraph in the passage?
A．Anxiety is the most common mental health problem．
B．Those suffering from anxiety need others' understanding badly．
C．About a quarter of the population are suffering from anxiety now．
D．Once you suffer from anxiety, you'd better seek for medical treatment．
70．The author will most probably talk about ______ following this passage．
A．what is about anxiety B．what causes anxiety
C．how to handle anxiety D．when anxiety becomes serious

Meaning of Happiness
"Are you happy?" I asked my brother, Lan, one day,
"Yes．No．It depends what you mean," he said．
"Then tell me," I said, "when was the last time you think you were happy?"
"April 1967,"he said,
It served me right for putting a serious question to someone who has joked his way through life．But Lan's answer reminded me that when we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a pinnacle（顶点）of sheer （纯粹的）delight, 71
72 I remember playing police and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play．Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved．
In the teenage years, the concept of happiness changes．73 I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to．I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man．
In adulthood the things that bring great joy —birth, love, marriage —also bring responsibility and the risk of loss．Love may not last; loved ones die．For adults, happiness is complex．
My dictionary defines "happy" as "lucky" or "fortunate"．But I think a better definition of happiness is "the ability to enjoy something"．74 It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health．
While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever．Happiness isn't about what happens to us; it's the ability to find a positive for every negative, and view a difficulty as a challenge．75 A．For a child, happiness has a magic quality．
B．You never know where happiness will turn up next．
C．So we chase it and make it equal to wealth and success．
D．And those pinnacles seem to get rarer, the older we get．
E．The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are．
F．It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess．
G．Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love, and popularity．

状元考前提醒 拿到试卷：熟悉试卷 刚拿到试卷一般心情比较紧张，建议拿到卷子以后看看考卷一共几页， 有多少道题，了解试卷结构，通览全卷是克服“前面难题做不出，后面易 题没时间做”的有效措施，也从根本上防止了“漏做题”。 答题策略 答题策略一共有三点： 1. 先易后难、先熟后生。先做简单的、熟悉的题，再做综合题、难题。 2. 先小后大。先做容易拿分的小题，再做耗时又 复杂的大题。3. 先局部后整体。把疑难问题划分成一系列的步骤，一步一 步的解决，每解决一步就能得到一步的分数。 立足中下题目，力争高水平 考试时，因为时间和个别题目的难度，多数学生很难做完、做对全部题目，所以在答卷中要立足中下题目。中下题目通常占全卷的80%以上，是试题的主要构成，学生能拿下这些题目，实际上就是有了胜利在握的心理，对攻克高档题会更放得开。 确保运算正确，立足一次性成功 在答卷时，要在以快为上的前提下，稳扎稳打，步步准确，尽量一次 性成功。不能为追求速度而丢掉准确度，甚至丢掉重要的得分步骤。试题 做完后要认真做好解后检查，看是否有空题，答卷是否准确，格式是否规 范。 要学会“挤”分 考试试题大多分步给分，所以理科要把主要方程式和计算结果写在显要位置，文科尽量把要点写清晰，作文尤其要注意开头和结尾。考试时，每一道题都认真思考，能做几步就做几步，对于考生来说就是能做几分是几分，这是考试中最好的策略。 检查后的涂改方式要讲究 发现错误后要划掉重新写，忌原地用涂黑的方式改，这会使阅卷老师看不清。如果对现有的题解不满意想重新写，要先写出正确的，再划去错误的。有的同学先把原来写的题解涂抹了，写新题解的时间又不够，本来可能得的分数被自己涂掉了。考试期间遇到这些事，莫慌乱！

Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren’t getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it. The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself! Welcome to the Rain Room ●The Rain Room features falling water. Please be aware you may get slightly wet. However, visitors wearing raincoats will be turned away. ●This exhibit features advanced technology.

To promote the artists taking part in an exhibit. 22. What’s the function of the exhibit’s tracking system?
【2018宝山区—一模】 IV. Summary Writing Secure payment without leaving a trace Computer scientist Andy Rupp, member of the “Signaling Code and Security” working group, is always surprised about lacking problem awareness: only few users are aware of the fact that by using payment systems they disclose in detail how and what they consume or which routes they have taken. To prevent control of the accounts by dishonest users, customer data and account balances of payment are usually carried out with the help of a central database. In every payment deal, the customer is identified and the details of her/his deal are transmitted to the central database. This repeated identification process produces a data trace that might be misused by the provider or third parties. The expert has now presented the basics of an “electronic purse” that works by unknown names, but prevents misuse at the same time. The “black-box addition plus” (BBA+) code system developed by them transfers all necessary account data to the card used or the smartphone and guarantees their secrets with the help of signaling code methods. At the same time, BBA+ offers security guarantees for the operator of the payment system: The code system guarantees a correct account balance and is mathematically constructed such that the identity of the user is disclosed as soon as the attempt is made to pay with a controlled account. “Our new code system guarantees privacy and security for customers during offline operation as well,” Andy Rupp says. “This is needed for ensuring the payment system’s suitability for daily use. Think of a subway doorway or a payment bridge. There you may have no internet connection at all or it is very slow.” Also its high efficiency makes the code system suited for everyday use: During first test runs, researchers completed payments within about one second. ①when customers use payment systems, most of them don’t realize the fact that by doing so, they risk( take the risk of ) losing privacy. ②Researchers have now developed a secure system called BBA+, which works anonymously and avoids misuses as well. ③moreover ( apart from / besides the security of privacy), it also proves to be efficient for daily use.(47 words) 【2018—崇明区一模】 IV. Summary Writing From Burn Survivor to Global Inspiration Last October, the Kona Ironman World Championship witnessed an unbelievable finish. Turia Pitt, an Australian woman who suffered severe burns when caught in a bush fire during a marathon six years ago, successfully challenged herself.
