However, I didn't mind having the same views every day. And even though my school had over a thousand students, I didn't really care to notice the differences between us all.But this boring view of mine changed when my parents bought me a camera for my birthday. After a month of playing with my new camera, I realized I had no talent for taking pictures. Even if I got friends to pose in front of ancient buildings and in flowery fields, nothing seemed to work. My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity. After a while, I dropped my new hobby.Then, a month or two later, I suddenly decided to pick it up again. During the summer break, I went for a walk on the railroad tracks (铁轨) behind my house.The tracks are in a warm red color. Before the walk, I thought, "Maybe I should bring my camera."Surprisingly, this walk was what began my love for photography. When I was walking on the tracks without a model and only nature around me, I realized how important it was to look at the details (细节) of things. I didn't worry about trying to create something beautiful. Instead, I just took photos of the beauty already around me.I quickly became crazy about color, lighting, shape and everything in between. After months of studying outdoor sights and looking at people's eyes, I was finally able to create beauty of my own. Slowly, my photos became something I was proud of.So far, my works have appeared in two magazines and two different museums. They're not huge achievements, but they're important to me. And they're the signs of how much my artistic abilities have grown. Thanks to this birthday gift from my parents, I now have a new way of looking at the world.（1）The writer gave up taking photos at first, because ____________.A.his parent didn't allow him to take photos.B.he thought he had no talent for taking pictures.C.it took him too much time to take photos.D.he had no interest in taking photos.（2）What changed the writer's attitude towards photography?A.The new camera as a gift.B.The walk on the railroad tracks.C.The magazines with his works.D.The beauty of the outdoor sights.（3）According to the writer, what might be useless for him to take photos well?A.Looking at the details of things.B.Creating beauty of one's own.C.Having models good at posing.D.Looking at people's eyes.（4）What do we know about the writer at last?A.He finally made great success in photography.B.His works have been shown on TV and in magazines.C.He no longer feels bored about the world.D.He still doesn't have any artistic abilities.4.阅读理解Have you ever heard of "a ball of energy"? People often use it to describe very active children. But today we tell about an invention called the soccket, that is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman explains that in fact the soccket is a portable generator (便携式发电机).Julin Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the soccket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University.There are mechanisms (装置) in a soccket. When you kick, hit or throw it, energy is then kept in it by these mechanisms instead of disappearing into the environment.Then the user can put something directly into the ball, like a lamp, or a mobile phone charger (充电器) so that they can get energy from it.For every fifteen minutes of the game play, the soccket can provide enough electricity(电) for an LED lamp for three hours, and the ball can store(储藏) up to 24 hours' electricity.The International Energy Association reported last year that nearly one and a half billion people in the world had no electricity to use, and most of them live in Africa, India and other countries in Asia.Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project. They knew that power shortages are a serious problem in really areas.There's an energy crisis in the world. One out of every five people in the world don't have any electricity. And besides that, there are a lot of health problems because what people use instead of the electricity are harmful choices like kerosene(煤油) lamps, which produce a lot of smoke.Julia Silverman says the soccket ball is one small solution to a big problem.Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman hope their soccket ball will shine more light on the problem of power shortages. It offers people a chance to put their energy into the world's most popular sport and get some energy in return.（1）From the passage, we know the soccket is ____________.A.an active childB.an inventionC.a lampD.a mobile phone（2）The underlined word "crisis" in the passage means ____________.A.a time of safetyB.a time of difficultyC.a time of successD.a time of pride（3）We can infer(推断) from the passage that ____________.A.Julia Silverman has never been to developing countries beforeB.Active children like to play soccketC.kicking a soccket can let the energy disappear into the environmentD.people are expected to get some energy by playing soccket（4）The best title for the passage should be "____________".A.The only way to produce electricityB.The best way to solve energy crisisC.A soccer ball that gives energyD.An invention changing the world5.阅读理解Your body is special - no two people in the world are alike. Although you are different from everyone else, you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you, doing different jobs that keep all of us alive.What is inside my head?Your head houses the most valuable part of your body - your brain. As you are reading, your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see. Your brain helps you to remember and think, and makes sure your body is doing what it should.What is my skin(皮肤) for?Your skin covers your body. In most parts of your body, the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter. If you have your skin cut, it will have a quick cure and stop viruses from getting into your body. Your skin also helps you feel the heat and coldness of the environment around you. Hair grows from inside the skin. When you feel hot, extra heat comes out through your skin. As a result, your body temperature drops.How do I move?Muscles(肌肉) are found in most parts of your body. They work with your bones to help you move-whenever you cry or smile, eat or speak, walk or dance, etc.Why do I breathe?Your body needs to take in oxygen from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide in the body. When you breathe, air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs(肺) where oxygen flows to different parts of your body.What makes me sneeze?When dust or a strong smell gets into your nose, you sneeze. This is the way your body cleans up the dust in your nose. Your lungs push out the air and try to clear your nose.What does my heart do?Your heart is a very special muscle. It is slightly bigger than your fist (拳头) and grows bigger as you do. If you place your hand on your heart, you will feel your heart beating which forces blood to move around your body. （1）The underlined word "houses" in the passage probably means _______.A.storesB.locksC.createsD.builds（2）If you have no skin covering your body, what would happen?A.Extra heat can come out of our body.B.Viruses can't get into our body easily. .C.We can't feel the changes in temperature.D.Our body can be guarded by our hair.（3）What is the true fact about your body?A.Our heart is the same size from birth.B.We take in carbon dioxide to stay alive.C.Our muscles stop working when we nod.D.Sneezing is a way to clear our nose.（4）Which is the best title for this passage?A.What Your Body NeedsB.How Your Body WorksC.Why Your Body GrowsD.When Your Body Moves三、任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分)6.2022北京冬奥会即将到来，下面是冬奥会的5个项目，请阅读有关比赛项目的文字描述，从A-E中选择正确的选项与图片配对。
