I was in the seventh grade, and we had moved to New Jersey in November. By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in “Section L”. I found out later that everyone called Section L “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!
I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that.
Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, I had to try to make things better.
The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!
I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in “Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.
But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!
I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore. Even though I couldn’t change my situation, I could change my attitude—and that made all the difference.
4. “Loserville” is a section for ________.
A. failures B. good students
C. class secrets D. newcomers
5. The writer complained all the time in the new environment because ________.

A. She went back to Illinois.
B. She ended friendship with Ana.
C. She fought back with her classmates.
D. She began to make friends with others.
7. The best title for the passage can be ________.
A. Lasting Friendship B. An Incidence at School
C. Say Goodbye to “Loserville” D. Unhappiness in “Loserville”
C
Moscow city authorities have begun using comics （漫画） with characters from Russian fairy tales to explain to migrants （移民） how they should behave. They say a 100-page guide is needed to "keep a positive image" of the city and could help reduce "tensions" between natives and migrants. But critics have pointed out that foreign migrants and natives may be regarded as antagonists in the manual( 手册 ).
Russians and migrants have repeatedly flooded in Moscow recently. Many migrants from ex-Soviet republics in Central Asia, the Caucasus （高加索） and North Caucasus, arrive in Moscow every year, attracted by the capital’s job opportunities and relatively high salaries. A significant number of them work in the Russian capital illegally.
The new guide in Russian seeks to explain the "dos" and "don’ts" to migrants. They are urged not to cause trouble, by staring at women, or eating or talking loudly on the streets. They are also warned that the police may routinely （例行公事） stop them to check their documents.
In the manual, Russia’s famous "three warriors" are meant to represent the city’s law enforcement agencies （执法机关） , while Prince Yuri Dolgoruky (a historical character) is used for tours around Moscow. Meanwhile, Vasilisa the Wise and The Snow Maiden test the reader on Russia’s language and history. A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow’s strict residency and employment rules, stressing that migrants could otherwise be deported( 驱逐出境 ) or banned from entry.
The manual was written primarily for illegal migrants, Alexander Kalinin, who heads the group Support for Working Migrants in Moscow, told BBC Russian.
"We want to raise their level of law awareness," he added.
Migrant characters had initially( 最初 ) been identified as representatives of different nationalities, but the book’s authors later decided to drop this idea so as "not to offend anyone", said Mr. Kalinin.
"The old conflict between Russian heroes and non-Slavic invaders is being revived," Yevgeny Varshaver, a migration expert told BBC Russian. He also suggested that the language used in the book would be "difficult" to understand for some migrants who were not native Russian speakers.
8. The underlined word "antagonists" in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by "_____".
A. friends B. acquaintances
C. cooperators D. opponents
9. People from other countries come to Moscow "_____"
A. to find well-paid jobs B. to have a new lifestyle
C. to enjoy the fine climate D. to experience a new culture
10. The third paragraph is mainly about"_____".
A. consequences the migrants may suffer
B. the purpose of publishing the handbook
C. the measures to attract foreign migrants
D. characters and their functions in Russian fairytales
11. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?
A. Ways to help foreign migrants to settle in Russia
B. Characters from Russian fairy tales have new jobs
C. More and more foreign migrants to work in Moscow
D. Moscow fairy tale comics to help migrants behave
D
In this Pennsylvania city, Pittsburgh is shrinking but getting wealthier. Since 2000, its population has declined by 95,000 while its income per capita ( 人均 ) has shot up 24 percent. The trend is taking hold in many other cities, like Buffalo in New York, Providence in Rhode Island and New Orleans.
Some of these areas have created more high-paying jobs in energy, health care or education. Others have managed to reshape their producing industry for a new economy. Higher-paying jobs have a greater effect because they create demand for additional services. "The story in Pittsburgh is very positive, and other areas are looking at it as an example of the transformation that might be possible ， ”said Guhan Venkatu, who wrote an economic history of the area called “Rust and Renewal” for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.
Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have helped bring tech jobs and innovation( 革新 ) to the area by sponsoring tech centers that help graduates start companies without moving to Silicon Valley or San Francisco. This has helped keep Pittsburgh's educated young population growing even as the entire population in the city has dropped.
Pittsburgh has more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) jobs than other shrinking cities, about 80, 000 or 7% of all jobs. STEM jobs add productivity and income growth to the area. Manufacturers of high-tech medical equipment in the Pittsburgh area also have doubled employment in the last 10 years.
However, some experts question whether growing income per capita can really make up for a declining population. According to Patrick Adler, a researcher at the University of Toronto, population loss does matter if it means lower-skilled workers have fled because of a lack of opportunity. What's more, high-paying jobs in education and health care can disappear if the population declines too greatly. So it'd be wise to find ways to increase the population.
12. In what aspect does Pittsburgh set a good example?
A. Transforming old energy into new energy.
B. Creating more well-paid jobs.
C. Prohibiting the manufacturing.
D. Sponsoring higher education.
13. How do some academic institutions help with the local economy?
A. By helping to attract more talents from other areas.
B. By providing much technical support to local companies.
C. By hosting tech centers for local educated graduates.
D. By assisting in employing a large number of educated youths.
14. Why is Patrick Adler mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To show the disadvantage of a declining population.
B. To suggest increasing high-paying jobs.
C. To raise doubts about growing income per capita.
D. To tell a reason why lower-skilled workers flee.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How Fast Job Growth Is Related to Population Growth
B. How Less-crowded Cities Plan Their High-tech Economy
C. Why Some Cities Are Losing People but Getting Wealthier
D. Why Some Cities Are Suffering From a Shrinking Population

52. 例文：
I wish to choose Mulan as my favorite cartoon character.
As a famous cartoon character in china, Mulan has enjoyed long lasting popularity among children, teenagers and even adults. Her story has been adapted into movies at home and abroad.
Living in the Wei Dynasty, a time of continuous war, every family was forced to send a man to join the army. However, Mulan’s father was too old to fight, while her brother was too young to join. Thus, Mulan decided to conceal her gender and take her father’s place to join the army. To her credit, she managed to integrate into the army without being recognized and even served better than most of her comrades. After years of fighting, Mulan returned to her hometown and cared for her elderly parents.
I have been fascinated by Mulan since the first time I read her story. With her bravery, sense of responsibility and deep love for her family, she has deeply influenced and greatly inspired me. No other characters are more encouraging than Mulan in my mind.
I would strongly recommend everyone to read Mulan’s story or watch the movie about it.
