Another person's enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.

My stepmother walked over to me, __4__ my head
slightly upward，and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied，“You are __5__.This is
not the worst boy at all，__6__ the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet(釋放的途徑)for his enthusiasm.”
That statement began a(n) __7__ between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my __8__ as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.

and my brothers and I could be better __11__.
When I turned fourteen，she bought me a secondhand __12__ and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm，I __13__ it，and I saw how it had already improved our lives.

C．raised
D．bent
【解析】 根據(jù)本段后半部分繼母的話可知她不贊同作者父親的觀點(diǎn)，而是非常欣賞作者，認(rèn)為作者只是沒有把潛能發(fā)揮出來，因此表現(xiàn)出來的是愛意，所以是輕輕地“扶起”作者的頭。A項表示“拉”；B項表示“搖動”；C項表示“扶起，抬起”；D項表示“傾斜”。

.閱讀理解
Children's books or children's literature is very hard to define and categorise，because there is no set genre for children to enjoy. All in all they can be categorised into six
major classes，namely early childhood picture books, traditional literature，fiction，non-fiction，biography and poetry.
Children have unique taste and interest. Although Harry Potter may be an all-time favourite book for children all over the globe, they prefer funny books to fairy tales when it comes to bedtime. The top three favourite books in bedtime stories are The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler，The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and The BFG by Roald Dahl.
There are many writers who popularised the children's literature or children's books through their brilliant works. John Amos Comenius is the author of Orbis Pictus which is considered to be the first picture book specifically for children. Charles Perrault is believed to be the one who laid the foundations of fairy tales. Perrault's stories include Little Red Riding Hood，Cinderella，Sleeping Beauty and so on. Hans Christian Anderson is best known for his fairy tales，such as The Snow Queen，The Little Mermaid and The Emperor's New Clothes.
Many children's books have been made into feature films and are equally successful in this medium，like Alice in Wonderland，the BFG series and the Harry Porter series. These series collected a huge amount of money when released worldwide in cinema halls. All these movies based on popular children's books are not only popular among children but also popular among adult audiences.
Children's books are in demand all over the world and more and more writers and authors are coming up with some new books. The potential market is immense because children are more into reading in this era than previous and they are enjoying it to the fullest.
1．Before going to sleep children like to enjoy ________.
A．fairy tales
B. non-fiction
C．funny books
D．traditional literature
【解析】 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段可知，孩子們在睡覺前喜歡讀有趣的書。
【答案】 C
2．Which of the following is NOT true about the films based on children's books?
A．Adults seem not to like them at all.
B．They bring in a lot of money.
C．They are very popular with children.
D．They are shown around the world.
【解析】 判斷是非題。文章第四段中交代了很多兒童書被改編成了電影，而根據(jù)該段最后一句可知成人也喜歡這些電影。
【答案】 A
3．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A．more famous books would be published in future
B．children would like to read children's books more
C．more people are eager to be writers and authors
D．the economy is developing faster and faster
【解析】 段意歸納題。根據(jù)最后一段及相關(guān)情節(jié)可推知，孩子們越來越喜歡圖書。
【答案】 B
4．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A．There Are Six Kinds of Children's Books
B．Some Writers Are Well-known in the World
C．Many Films Are Based on Children's Books
D．Children's Books and Literature Are Very Popular
【解析】 標(biāo)題選擇題。文章介紹了很多兒童書籍被改編成電影的情況以及兒童書籍未來的發(fā)展?jié)摿Φ?，這些都表明了兒童書籍很流行。故D項符合題意。
【答案】 D
?、?寫作

Recently we have made an investigation on whether the test paper for Senior Three students should be difficult or not.

Recently_we_have_made_an_investigation_on_whether_the_test_paper_for_Senior_Three_students_should_be_difficult_or_not.Opinions are different on this matter.
Some students are in favor of a difficult exam. On the one hand, they think a difficult exam is just like a challenge—the harder, the better. On the other hand, it can help students find out where they are weak in studies and improve their learning approaches.
However, others disagree. For one thing, if it is too difficult, the students may become discouraged/frustrated and feel afraid of the coming college entrance examination. For another, with an easy exam, they can get high marks /grades and gain confidence/self-esteem.
