大作文:
Joseph looked at his shoes and said in a low voice. “We were with some other boys, and I took a watermelon from your field. We took it to the river and all of us ate it together.” A surge of anger took hold of Davis when he heard what Joseph said. He clenched his teeth, yelling at them, “Taking a melon that you didn’t grow is stealing.” Knees shaking and palms sweating, Joseph and Loren begged the farmer for a pardon, told him that they had no money and asked what they could do to make up the mistake.
Farmer David thought for a minute. “Come by my field tomorrow morning. I think I can find some work for you.” That night Joseph lay on the bed with his eyes staring at the ceiling, regretting having taken something that didn’t belong to him. He decided next time someone asked him to do such things, he’d pluck up courage to say no. Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved because he could do something to make up for his mistake. The next morning, Joseph and Loren went to David’s field and do whatever Davis asked them to do. Worn out though they were, they didn’t complain about the heat and the hard work.中山市2023-2024学年高二上学期期末模拟

Amsterdam Destination Guide
Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, famous for its beautiful canals, top art museums, cycling culture and so on. It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the “Venice of the North” because of its expansive system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.
Must-See Attractions
Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark. The top museums to visit there are the Rijksmusuem, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum.
If You Have Time
There are several other unique districts in Amsterdam, and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a center for celebrity spotting and nightlife today. The Plantage area has most of the city’s museums, including the Jewish Historical Museum, the Scheepvaart Museum, and the botanical gardens.
Money Saving Tips
●Unless you really want to see the tulips(郁金香)blooming, avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.
●Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District, where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.
●Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.
●Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.

The only thing separating my two worlds is the Rio Grande river— it might not be much, but it’s enough for me to feel a big difference in customs and values. People who are not from El Paso, Texas, United States or a border city might not understand what it’s like to grow up between two places at once.
I grew up in a Mexican household. My dad was born in El Paso but lived nearly his entire life in Ciudad Juárez until I was born, and my mom was born and raised in Mexico. She didn’t move to the US until she had me, when she was 28. My first language was Spanish, but my parents did not want me in bilingual classes. So, instead, it was all English for me at school.
English was all I spoke among friends at school, while Spanish was the designated language with family, and I hardly ever mixed them. I also spent a lot of time with my maternal grandparents, who lived in Juárez and you could say helped raise and shape who I am today. It’s thanks to them that I perfected my Spanish, learned to read and write in that language — despite never taking classes — and fell in love with my Mexican culture by traveling to Mexico City and around the country.
Along with being bilingual came a sense of having a double identity. I enjoyed watching Spanish TV series with my grandma as much as American series such as The Amanda Show. And the same went for music. I loved listening to Spanish singers, as much as American pop singers.
It wasn’t until high school that I began to meet other people whose backgrounds I could relate to. I was introduced to friends with whom I identified because they were Mexican American and who had also been raised in El Paso but often visited family in Juárez. It was also during these years that I started going out to party in Juárez.
Growing up on the border is pretty special. Thanks to my bicultural upbringing, I learned to enjoy and appreciate both sides of me without ever questioning who I am, because the truth is that I need both of those relationships and cultural identities to feel complete.
4. What do we know about the author’s upbringing background
He was born in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
He attended school in the US from a young age.
C. His parents were both born and raised in Mexico.
D. He showed his bilingual ability to his classmates at school.
5. Who helped the author learn to read and write in Spanish
A. His grandparents. B. His parents. C. His teachers. D. His friends.
6. Why does the author mention the Spanish TV series and American series
A. To contrast the two styles of TV series. B. To illustrate the author’s wide interests.
C. To prove the author fits into both cultures well. D. To show grandma and the author have the same hobbies.
7. How does the author feel about his bicultural identity
A. Proud. B. Confused. C. Worried. D. Awkward.
C
Most of us are aware of “Is the glass half full or half empty ” litmus test. If you pick the former, you’re an “optimist”; otherwise, you're a “pessimist”. It’s not a black-or-white test, but it can measure how one sees life.
According to psychologist Lissy Ann Puno, most of us grow up wanting to be an optimist -- a person who can see the good in any situation and can stay hopeful when facing challenges. For some people, though, life happens and they start to see the glass half-empty instead. Pessimists tend to see the wrong in every situation, and blame external factors and circumstances when things aren’t going their way.
Being continuously fed with bad news and disappointments can turn optimistic children into adults that are critical of almost everything. For some, the shift becomes easier, being raised by pessimistic parents. Others still remain optimistic, thanks to a positive household growing up.
“This is why developing optimism in young children is crucial for their development as adults,” said Lissy Ann. If adopted at an early age, this powerful personality quality can help children grow into strong adults capable of handling life’s circumstances with confidence, courage, and hope. What parent wouldn’t want that for their children
“Children are seen as natural optimists,” Lissy Ann said. They come into this world with unbiased eyes and a pure heart that hasn’t been influenced by social expectations, life experiences, severe mental shock, or authority figures yet. Whether a child grows up to be optimistic or not is part genetic and part environmental. “Childhood experiences, parent-child connection, or authority figures will all have some influence,” she said. Although optimism (or the lack of it) could be passed down genetically, it can also be taught.
What do people who see the glass half-empty refer to in paragraph 2
A. People who become pessimistic B. People who learn the truth about life
C. People who see different sides of things D. People hold onto hope in difficult times
What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Factors that affect children’s attitude to life.
B. The negative influence of parents over children’s growth.
C. The pattern of children’s mental transformation.
D. Circumstances that improve children’s personality.
10. Why is it important for children to be optimistic according to paragraph 4
A. It leads them to future success. B. It enables them to be wise in adulthood.
C. It makes them mentally strong in adulthood. D. It helps them meet their parents’ expectations.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Children are more optimistic than adults. B. Genetic factors decide how children see life.
C. Optimism strengthens parent-child connection. D. Proper guidance helps raise optimistic children.
D
Science fiction is a fantasy-filled world where the impossible comes to life. In a world where science fiction fans are abundant, it is hard to escape the influence of the popular genre (类型) of entertainment — be it in the form of reading material or films. This includes the exposure of children to science fiction. Hence the effect of science fiction on children is definitely worth considering.
The main effect that can be noted is that it inspires the imagination of children. The young and inexperienced mind is exposed to the exciting world of countless possibilities. This allows the children to experience and comprehend the possible options of events that may occur, which are beyond the normal life they experience.
Besides this, the imagination of children is improved to understand the world around us with more interest. While astronomy may sound very uninteresting to a child, the possibilities of aliens living outside Earth make the topic more exciting and hence more accessible to the young thinking minds. The imagination of children would even stimulate their interest in history when it concerns science fiction related to both extinct and fantasy animals.
An enhanced imagination is vital to a sharper cognitive (认知的) ability as children are able to think out of the box and are not limited to what is normal to them in their daily lives. Their imagination would work much better as they would have curiosity raised by their science fiction experience.
Imaginative children would have an enriched life with an active mind. Aware of their surroundings, imaginative children are able to see life in a more delightful way than realistic children who may not be able to enjoy their childhood as much.
12. What is the text mainly about
A. How children become imaginative. B. How children use their imagination.
C. How science fiction impacts children. D. How science fiction creates a fantasy.
13. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed
A. By analyzing causes. B. By giving examples.
C. By describing a process. D. By following time order.
14. What does the underlined phrase “think out of the box” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Develop curiosity. B. Inspire imagination.
C. Break the thinking pattern. D. Limit cognitive skills.
15. What do we know about imaginative children
A. They are able to enjoy life more. B. They have easier access to science fiction.
C. They have more life experiences. D. They are more interested in learning history

Yesterday a heat wave hit the town. “It’s too hot! Let’s go for a swim after we finish our chores (家务活)at home!” Joseph complained to his little brother, Loren. As the boys walked toward the Little Colorado River, they saw Sam and Frank, who ran to join them. “Swimming’s just what we need to cool off!” Sam said, kicking a rock.
“Sure it is,” Frank agreed. Then he looked at the field they were passing. There were many round watermelons in Farmer Davis’s patch(小块地). “Hey, Joseph” Frank said, “do you have the courage to climb over that fence and get us a ripe(成熟的)watermelon ”
“I don’t know. ” Joseph said.
Loren looked uncomfortable. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“Come on,” Frank said, pushing Joseph toward the fence. “No one will ever know.”
Then Frank started to climb the wooden fence. Joseph felt bad but climbed the fence and jumped with Frank into the watermelon patch.
Joseph took the closest melon and raced back to the fence. The other boys laughed and took turns carrying the heavy melon as they ran to the river. Finally they broke open the watermelon. The sticky sweet juice was delicious! But Joseph regretted what they had done and wished he hadn’t taken the melon.
On the walk home, they finished off the last piece of the melon just as they passed the watermelon patch again. Joseph lowered his head quickly when he saw Farmer Davis in the field. He waved at the boys, who quickly threw the melon rinds (皮) to the side of the road. Davis looked upset as the boys hurried by. Joseph felt terrible. It was wrong to take the watermelon. He knew he had to tell Farmer Davis what they had done and ask for forgiveness(宽恕).
That evening Farmer Davis visited Joseph and Loren at their house. “One of my biggest watermelons went missing,” he said, “I was wondering if you boys happened to see anyone in my field as you passed by today.”

Joseph looked at his shoes and said in a low voice. _____________________________________________
