His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room.What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom? his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack- a smaller version of his bedroom- a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors thought about him when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin.Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination（锁柜密码）? he asked. I lost the piece of paper it was written on. I have a science class in two minutes and if Im late on the first day itll make me look bad for the rest of the year. Kenny looked really worried.Relax, Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote.He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed（摩擦） it lightly over the marks. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings.Thats amazing! Kenny said. I owe you one. And he dashed off to open his locker.It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.24. Why is Justins room such a mess? A. He always forgets to clean it. B. He never throws anything away. C. He has no time to clean it. D. He shares the room with his brother.25. In what way is Justins backpack a smaller version of his bedroom? A. He uses it as a place to store objects. B. He uses it to carry his books and sports equipment. C. His parents tell him to clean it all the time. D. Hes had it for as long as he can remember.26. The underlined phrase pleaded with means A. ignored B. asked C. pushed D. ordered27. How does Kenny feel toward Justin?A. Annoyed. B. Disinterested. C. Grateful. D. Angry.C How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars.You can see even more with a telescope. And with bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We wont see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year. Thats because theyre invisible. Theyre the mysterious dead stars called black holes.You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving usheat and light. The sun certainly doesnt seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.As a stars gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die. As the star cools, the outer layers（层） of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until its packed together tighter than anything in the universe.Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. Thats how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? Its the same force that pulls you down when you jump-the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything-even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. Thats why you see nothing but blackness.So next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: theres more in the sky than we can see! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes-the great mystery of space.28. According to the article, what causes a star to die? A. As its gases run out, it cools down. B. It has a collision with other stars.C. It can only live for about a million years.D. As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.29. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Black holes are dead stars. B. Black holes have gravity. C. Black holes are invisible. D. There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole.30. What happens AFTER a star dies? A. It becomes invisible. B. It falls to earth. C. It burns up all of its gases. D. It becomes brighter and easier to see.31. Why cant you see light when you look at a black hole? A. Because most black holes are so far away. B. Because the gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward. C. Because as the stars gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.D. Because as a star cools, its outer layers pull in toward its center.DGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins Twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of over-learning , which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but over-learn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we over-learn in childhood.The law of over-learning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over-learning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.32. What is the main idea of paragraph I?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children arc easy to remember.33. The author explains the law of over-learning by_.A. presenting research findingsB. selling down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples34. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_.A. a result of over-learningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies35. What is the authors opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. Its helpful only in a limited way.C. Its possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students learning interest.第2节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的7个选项中为每空选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. 36 Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.

My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 53 never hearing him put his 54 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 55 to tell a son something from the heart?My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” Thats all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 56 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldnt understand what he was saying.
