1．In fifth grade，on a merry New York City day，my classmates spread across our raggedy classroom carpet.Our teacher had us practicing holiday songs for the upcoming winter show，and with holiday seasonal passion we sang.When we came to one of the Hanukkah （a Jewish festival）songs，a few classmates and I got up and started dancing.We flew around the classroom laughing，our movements becoming irregular as the song progressed.Then one boy stood up and said something along the lines of，"Stop!You're making fun of Jewish people!"
Our student-teacher stopped the song，the boy looked at us angrily as the student-teacher began to lecture，us on our behavior.How we were being disrespectful to the boy's culture-how the dancing was wrong.I was surprised at the outburst and，as a Jewish person myself，did not understand why the boy was offended，or why I was in trouble.I was embarrassed and made to feel disrespected my own culture.
At the beginning of middle school，with the Hanukkah song incident still fresh in my mind，I began to interact more with my Jewish heritage（血统）.I started going to Hebrew school.I carefully listened to prayers and committed them to memory.The legitimacy（正统）of my Jewish heritage was questioned by my peers，especially around the Jewish holidays.They would ask if I was "really Jewish，" as if there was a standard set of requirements I needed to meet.I didn't have my Bat Mitzvah（犹太成人礼），so that meant I couldn't be truly Jewish.jye.ai said.I asked myself if the accusations were true.It felt like I need to prove my Jewish-ness in some way.I began looking for ways to connect with and represent my Judaism.
When I walked into a store in December.I noticed the abundance of Christmas items，and lack of Hanukkah pieces.Maybe there would be a menorah（烛台）in storefronts，or a few dreidels（陀螺）and chocolate gold coins，if I was lucky.Instead of feeling left out or ignored.I started to make a game out of it.In high school，I would walk the streets of the city and peer into store windows，marking down all the Hanukkah related things I discovered.

A．To prepare for the coming performance.
B．To make the angry boy happy.

（3）How did the author do to prove she's a true Jew？
A．She opened a store to sell Hanukkah items.
B．She searched for the things related to her own culture.

2．Whenever we talk about holidays，my mother teases my sister and me about how we "make out like robbers".She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian，so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights：Hanukkah and Diwali.Though my mother teases us，I don't mind getting two sets of gifts!
Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month，which is usually in December.On Hanukkah，like most Jewish families，we light a menorah（烛台） and say a prayer each night.We also say a special prayer on the first night.After that，it's a tradition for my sister and me to do "hot and cold" for our hidden Hanukkah gifts.When we walk towards the gift，our parents say "hot" and when we walk further away，they say "cold".We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah.Another part I like in this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often.My aunt usually stays for a few days，and we sometimes visit other relatives.
Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin （October/November）.To celebrate it，my family does a pooja，or prayers，in honor of the goddess Lakshmi.Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity，the pooja includes washing silver coins in milk and water.In India，people decorate their houses with lamps，similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas.My family just places a few candles outside.We also set off firecrackers，which is my favorite part.We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement.
Both holidays have different histories and stories.We celebrate them in different ways，yet both have the same meaning.They both translate into Festival of Lights，and they both mean family and presents for me!
（1）Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali？
A．Because he lives in a rich family.
B．Because he lives in two different countries.
C．Because his parents like celebrating their different cultures.
D．Because his parents like spending money buying gifts for them.
（2）What does the underlined phrase "hot and cold" in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．A kind of Hanukkah game.
B．A kind of Hanukkah gift.
C．A can of festival drink.
D．A riddle written on lights.
（3）Who is Lakshmi？
A．A pooja people do on Diwali.
B．The goddess of wealth and prosperity.
C．The prayers in honor of silver coins.
D．The goddess of lights.
（4）We can learn from the text that Hanukkah and Diwali.
A．share the same history and culture
B．are celebrated by both Jews and Indians
C．are both related to the legend of lights
D．encourage the families to do their prayers
（5）What is the author's attitude towards Hanukkah and Diwali？

3． It's just past 7 a.m.jye.ai a February morning in Maya Bay，several weeks after authorities reopened what is one of Thailand's most popular tourist attractions to the world for the first time since June 2018 following a massive restoration program.
In the hours to follow，a slow but steady flow of tourists becomes in great numbers as dozens of tourists make their way to the white-sand beach，phones at the ready as they take photos.Swimming is not allowed，though visitors can take a few steps in.It's disappointing，but a huge improvement over what visitors once experienced here.
Maya Bay is located in a Thailand's national park.The destination was made famous by the 2000 film The Beach，starring Leonardo DiCaprio.As the film's popularity grew，so did tourists' desire to visit the location where much of it was shot —Maya Bay.
"Around 40 years ago，Maya Bay was already a tourism destination，but mainly for Thai tourists because you didn't have speedboats at that time，" says Thon，a marine biologist and professor who requested authorities to close the bay four years ago.Over the years，the number of tourists rose from less than 1，000 to as many as 7，000 or 8，000 visitors a day at its peak.On average，around 5，000 people entered the bay each day.
In 2018，the Thai government closed the bay and began to restore the damaged ecosystem.Since then，Thon and a team of fellow marine experts and volunteers have replanted over 30，000 pieces of coral，much of it grown off the coast of a nearby island.Meanwhile，the wildlife also returned and has been growing. "Only three months after we closed the bay，the blacktip sharks came back and gave birth…so there are a lot of things happening in Maya Bay."
（1）What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us about Maya Bay？
A．Its reopening.
B．Its rebuilding.
C．Its business hours.
D．Its reduced tourists.
（2）What led to the growing popularity of Maya Bay？
A．A film shot there.
B．The easier access than before.
C．The better tourism equipment.
D．Peopled growing desire to travel.
（3）What do the numbers in paragraph 4 try to show？
A．The profit from tourism.
B．The sharp increase in tourists.
C．The long history of Maya Bay.
D．The reason for the film's popularity.
（4）What can we infer about the protection efforts for Maya Bay？
A．It was a little late.
B．It has been effective.
C．It remains to be seen whether it's useful.
D．It has no support from the government.组卷：0引用：2难度：0.5 -

5．Habits to Be a Highly Effective Student Some students are able to get straight A's and at the same time serve as the president of three clubs.However，some students struggle to keep their GPA（grade point average）above 3.0.（1）
Although it's true that everyone's IQ is different，good study habits are very important.Here are several habits you should adopt to get good grades.
（2）If you haven't had a"planner"，get one.Many people use their computers and smart phones to make a schedule.The problem with that approach is that they are major distractions（使人分心的事物）.Instead，get an old-fashioned paper and pen planner.
Create a weekly schedule.（3）Include time that will be spent eating，sleeping and doing anything not related to schoolwork.That way you know exactly how much you can achieve each day.
Take frequent，short breaks.Taking a break from studying for 15 minutes every hour will help keep you refreshed.（4）If you don't take a break，you may find yourself daydreaming or even falling asleep.Take some time for some water，a snack or a quick chat with a friend.
Take care of yourself.During the final exam week，it is common for students to fall behind on sleep and meals.Make sure you get a good night's sleep and have regular meals.Studying while you are hungry or sleepy is ineffective and will slow you down in the long run.Also try to make the time for family and friends.（5）
A.Keep things organized.
B.Keep away from your computers.
C.Of course，not everyone needs breaks.
D.And they seem to spend all of their time in studying.
E.Our brains are not meant to work for hours non-stop.
F.Having a good support system will help with all the stress.
G.Then in the daily schedule，make a list of things to do each hour.组卷：2引用：2难度：0.5
