Emily was an eighth grader. To pass her Civics course（公民課程）, she had to do some volunteer

service in a nursing home for a week.

One Monday, Emily went to the nursing home after school. When she arrived, she was told she would

___31 an hour every weekday with an elderly lady, Mrs. Blair. She was then led into a room, where an old

lady in a flowery dress was sitting on a sofa.

Emily 32 awkwardly（別扭地）in front of the lady. She cleared her throat and said, “Good afternoon.

I’m Emily.”

“Good afternoon, Emily. Take a seat, please.” Mrs. Blair replied.

Then, 33 filled the space between them. Emily wondered what to say.

“Tell me about yourself, Emily,” Mrs. Blair said suddenly.

“Well,” Emily started, “I don’t have any grandparents, so I can’t relate to elderly people much. I love the　performing arts. I’m here mainly because I have to 34 here to get a good grade for my Civics class.”

Mrs. Blair didn’t seem to 35 . “Many people, especially teens, don’t seem to care about old people

like me. Now you are here, and I’m going to change that about you. Ask me anything.”

Emily thought for a moment, and finally decided, “What was your job?”

“I was a Broadway star in the 1950s.” Mrs. Blair answered.www.ccutu.com

“Cool! Can you tell me about it?” Emily asked, amazed.

Mrs. Blair smiled. “Back then, only the lead actress had the honor to wear a 36 bracelet. I was

the lead in almost all of the plays, so I always wore the bracelet. Till this day, I still have it.”

Emily smiled along with Mts. Blair and listened to the other stories, attentively. She had become so

interested in Mrs. Blair’s 37 that she decided to come earlier the next day.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday passed by quickly. Then came Friday. As she was leaving, Emily

was really 38 to say goodbye.

“Don’t be sad. You can still visit me,” Mrs. Blair comforted her. She then handed a small box to Emily,“It’s my gift to you.”

Emily 39 opened the box and was surprised to see what was inside. “It’s the bracelet that you

wore. Thank you!” Emily said, with tears in her eyes. “I’m sure to visit you whenever I’m free.”

On the way home, Emily thought of her own love for the performing arts. She touched the bracelet and

made a 40 that she would keep her word to Mrs. Blair.

The Sixth Time I Went to the Principal’s Office

When I was in the seventh grade, I had problems behaving. My heart was in the right place, but I

couldn’t always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I even pulled a girl’s hair

on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, I was repeatedly sent to the office of the principal（校長）.

Although I hated going there, I did not hate the principal, Mr. Ratcliff.www.ccutu.com

Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man. When he spanked（ 打屁股） me for putting some ants into a

classmate’s pencil box, it didn’t hurt at all, but it did hurt my feelings. I thought so much of him and

moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad.

When I got called to Mr. Ratcliff’s office for the sixth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt

disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor. Then he said

the last thing I expected to hear:” Kevin, I’ve heard you’ve been behaving really well lately. I want you to

know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint.”

“Really?” I was surprised.

“Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class.”

I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into　my classroom, I bragged （ 吹噓） to my classmates about my turnaround,excitedly. I wasn’t so bad after all.

Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior.He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something-anything-right. Mr.Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.

45. In his seventh grade, the writer __________.

　A. hated the principal 　B. had problems behaving

　C. always followed the rules 　D. often helped his classmates

46. How did the writer feel when he went to the principal’s office for the sixth time?

　A. Lonely. 　B. Excited. 　C. Confident. 　D. Disappointed.

47. The sixth time the writer went to the principal’s office, he got __________.

　A. a peppermint 　B. a model bus 　C. a pencil box 　D. a coin

48. The writer will always remember Mr. Ratcliff, because the principal __________.

Buying Is Doing?

How important is shopping to you? How much time do you spend buying things? And how much time

do you spend organizing these things in your home? In the future, how much time will you spend in movie

theaters, at amusement parks, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up, you will

probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming（消費）things. Consuming products is not necessarily

bad. However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.

Imagine that you have a week off from school. You don’t have to go to class. However, in this week,

you cannot spend any money ----- no shopping, no movies, no eating out. How would you spend your time?

What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend. Perhaps you

would help a child read. Or you might spend time with your family.www.ccutu.com

When we look back, it is likely that non-consuming experiences like these will be our most important

memories. Why? Non-consuming activities are active, not passive. They don’t come in a package. You make　the experience yourself. For example, each person who reads to a child will have a different experience. The　experience changes with the reader, the child, and the book. Similarly, when you have a conversation with a　friend, you are actively creating an experience. The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be　experienced or recreated by anyone else. However, if you watch a movie with a friend, you will each have a　package experience. It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.

The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences. We feel that we must consume　because we believe that buying is doing. However, we can start a personal revolution （ 變革） against　consumerism. How? By consuming less. We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest　satisfaction. Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.

49. If consuming products takes too much time, we should ____________.

　A. spend less money 　B. think about it carefully

　C. organize our things 　D. go to convenience stores

50. According to the passage, the writer believes that _____________.

　A. we can say no to consumerism by consuming less

　B. buying things can bring us the greatest satisfaction

　C. the environment seldom influences our shopping choices

　D. consuming experiences will be our most important memories

51. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

　A. To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.

　B. To encourage people to have more active experiences.

　C. To explain reasons behind people’s shopping behavior.

　D. To share his personal experience in consuming products.

D

Say you’re sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that

happens to be one of your favorites. “Oh, that game’s easy. So not worth the time,” one of your friends says.The others agree. Although you enjoy the game quite a lot, not wanting to argue with them, you go along　with the crowd.

You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure（同伴壓力）, also called peer

influence. You will adopt a certain type of behavior, dress, or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a

group of your “peers”. As a teen, you are likely to have experienced the effect of peer pressure in a number

of different areas.

We are all influenced by our peers at any age. For teens, as school and other activities take you away

from home, you may spend more time with your friends than with your family. As you become more

independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your life.

According to Dr. Casey from Cornell University, teens are very quick and accurate in making decisions

on their own and in situations where they have time to think. However, when they make decisions in the

heat of the moment or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced by factors like peers. In a

recent study, teen volunteers played a video driving game, either alone or with friends watching. The

researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were

watching, compared with when they played alone. This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control　risky behavior when their friends are around, or in situations where they are extremely angry.

Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices, they can also influence us to make good ones. A　teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because his　or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, friends often encourage each other to study, or　try out for sports.

While we are always influenced by those around us, the decision to act or not is up to us. So when it

comes to decision making, the choice is up to you.

52. According to the passage, Dr. Casey probably agrees that teens ____________.

　A. like to play driving games with their friends

　B. prefer situations where they have time to think

　C. may take more risks when their friends are around

　D. are slow in making decisions when they are on their own

53. The words “in the heat of the moment” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “_________”.

　A. when teens avoid possible risks 　B. when teens trust their judgment

　C. when teens lose control over their anger 　D. when teens give consideration to situations

54. What can we learn from the passage?

　A. Teens are eager to be different from their peers.

　B. Peer pressure has effects on both teens and adults.

　C. Peer pressure does more harm than good to teens.

　D. Tees think it challenging to get good grades at school.

55. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?2017年北京中考英語試題

　A. Peer Pressure: Is It Necessary to Deal with It?

　B. Peer Pressure: Is It Possible to Get Away from It?

　C. Peer Pressure: Its Benefits to Teens and Friend Making

　D. Peer Pressure: Its Influence on Teens and Decision Making

八、閱讀短文，根據短文內容回答問題。（共10 分，每小題2 分）

What’s in a Name?

Many American names come from England. But where did most English names come from?

Centuries ago, most people in England had only one name-- their first name. In the 11th century, five or　six of the 50 people in a village might be named William, and it was easy to get confused. But in the Middle　Ages, people found a way to describe each person exactly. If there were four Williams in one village, one　might be referred to as William the son of John. A second might be called William from the hill. A third,William the blacksmith（鐵匠）. And a fourth, William the brown haired. In conversation, people might refer　to the four Williams as William John’s son, William hill, William smith, and William brown.

It was 300 or 400 years before the extra （ 附加的） names gradually developed into last names, or

surnames. They were passed on from generation to generation. By the 1300s, Robert, the son of William

smith, had the name Robert smith, even if he was not a blacksmith like his father. As the last name became

widely accepted, the first letter was capitalized, as in Robert Smith. By the 15th century, most people of the

upper and middle classes had surnames.

Many surnames were based on father-son relations. The “son of” part was added to the father’s first

name, like Johnson, meaning John’s son. Sometimes it was shortened to just “s”, as in Jones or Evans.

Surnames like Hill described the place where a person lived. They are the most common type of surname. A　third kind of surname was based on a person’s job. Forester was someone who looked after the forest. In the　Middle Ages, occupation names such as Baker, Carpenter, and Miller became common. The fourth kind of　surname was nickname（綽號）. A man whose surname was Bear might be as fierce as a bear.

Have you ever wondered why some surnames are so common? The most common surname in the

English language is Smith. Being able to make metals（金屬）into tools was an important skill in the Middle

Ages, and many people were trained as blacksmiths. The most common American surnames are Smith,

Johnson, William and Brown.

61. Where do many American names come from?

62. When did people find a way to describe each person exactly?

63. How long did it take for extra names to develop into last names?

64. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

65. Why were many people trained blacksmith in the Middle Ages?
