Cindy, my dog, was six years old when my son Tony was born. And she was immediately very protective over him. We lived near a busy road. As my son was too young, we were super vigilant for fear that he should go out of the front door.
Cindy knew that our son wasn’t allowed to go through the front door without us, so whenever Tony touched the front door handle, she would push him back. One morning, around 4 am, our son somehow managed to “escape” through his bedroom window, and Cindy had to follow.
At 5 am, the police woke us knocking on the door. They said, “Your son was nearly killed but the dog saved him.” They then repeated what the truck driver had said.
He told them that he was driving along in the dark and in the distance he could see something “light coloured” moving on the road. As he got closer, he could see a dog at the side of the road barking at it. At the last moment, he realized that it was a child and was about to change the direction. The dog was still barking, glancing(扫视) between the truck and the child. While the driver was braking(刹车), the dog ran out into the road, jumped at the child’s back and threw him out of the path of the truck. At the same time, the truck hit the dog and she was killed.
The driver said that he’d never believe what he saw unless it was with his own eyes. He thought that the dog definitely knew the danger, which was why she was barking so anxiously. He said “that dog just saved that kid’s life and it knew what it was doing.”
That was 39 years ago and I still miss Cindy every day.
4. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “vigilant”
A. Careful. B. Desperate.
C. Upset. D. Confident.
5. What did the driver first see on the road
A. An on-duty policeman.
B. A frightened dog.
C. A moving light.
D. A small child.
6. Which of the following best describes Cindy

D. Quiet and cute.
7. What is the best title for the text

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的宠物狗因为担心小主人就跟着他从窗户爬了出去,最后为了救小主人牺牲的故事。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画横线单词的前面一句话“We lived near a busy road.”(我们住在一条繁忙的道路附近。)以及划横线的单词所在句子的后半句“for fear that he should go out of the front door”(怕他从前门出去)可推测,我们住在一条繁忙的马路附近,当我儿子还小时,我们非常小心,怕他从前面出去,所以vigilant的意思为“小心的,谨慎的”。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句话“He told them that he was driving along in the dark and in the distance he could see something “light coloured” moving on the road. ”(他告诉他们,他是在黑暗中驾驶,在远处他可以看到有“浅色”的东西在路上移动。)以及第三句话“At the last moment, he realized that it was a child and was about to change the direction.”(在最后一刻,他意识到这是一个孩子,并准备改变方向。)可推断出,司机第一次看到的那个““浅色”的东西应该就是个小孩。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第二、三句话“ He thought that the dog definitely knew the danger, which was why she was barking so anxiously. He said “that dog just saved that kid’s life and it knew what it was doing.””(他认为那只狗肯定知道危险,这就是她为什么如此焦虑地吠叫的原因。他说:“那只狗救了那孩子的命,它知道自己在做什么。”)可推知,Cindy在知道危险的情况下还跳了出去,保护了小主人,而自己却被车撞死了,所以说明Cindy是只既勇敢又忠实的狗。故选B。
【7题详解】
标题判断题。本文主要讲述作者的宠物狗因为担心小主人就跟着他从窗户爬了出去,最后为了救小主人牺牲的故事。所以“狂吠的英雄”最符合文章的标题。故选C。
C
There are a lot of feral(野生的) camels in Australia. Although they don't appear to be as destructive as other introduced species because they eat trees and plants that our native Australian animals don' t eat, in the last few years the Australian Camel population has been increasing at a fairly alarming rate and becoming a bit of a problem.
We didn’t see them that often where we grew up unless we went further into Queensland or South Australia. When we did see them it was always a bit of a thrill for us kids because it was somewhat of a novelty(新奇的事物).
The suggestion of bringing camels to Australia was first made in 1837, 49 years after Europeans arrived in Australia. The importing of camels into Australia began in the mid 1800s to open up the desert areas of Central and Western Australia. They were handled and cared for by Muslim cameleers that came from countries like Egypt, Turkey and northern India. The cameleers were called Afghans or “Ghans”even though most of them were not Afghans. The name stuck to a part of the railroad track that links Port Augusta in South Australia to Darwin in the Northern Territory.
By the 1920s there were about 20,000 domesticated(家养的) camels in Australia, but with the arrival of motor and rail transport in the 1930s people no longer needed their camels and a lot of them were abandoned in the bush.
Australian Camels are now exported live to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries where disease-free camels are considered a delicacy(佳肴). Australian Camels are also exported to Arab Camel racing stables as breeding stock. The United States also imports them to use in tourist attractions. There are over 40 farms providing rides in Australia now.
8. What problem with camels in Australia is mentioned
A. They carry disease.
B. They hurt people sometimes.
C. The number of them is growing rapidly.
D. Some native animals are threatened by them.
9. For what purpose were camels brought to Australia
A. To keep the balance of nature. B. To develop the desert areas.
C. To satisfy kids’ curiosity. D. To create new jobs.
10. What led to camels' being deserted in Australia
A. The disappearance of bushes. B. The spread of a serious disease.
C. The introduction of other animals. D. The availability of modern vehicles.
11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A. The history of Australian Camels. B. What Australian Camels are used for.
C. The advantages of Australian Camels. D. Why Australian Camels are popular abroad.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文属于说明文,文章主要讲述了澳大利亚的骆驼数量增长过快,政府开始出口骆驼以遏制它的数量急速增长。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Although they don't appear to be as destructive as other introduced species because they eat trees and plants that our native Australian animals don' t eat, in the last few years the Australian Camel population has been increasing at a fairly alarming rate and becoming a bit of a problem.”(虽然它们似乎不像其他引进物种那样具有破坏性,因为它们吃的是我们澳大利业本土动物不吃的树木和植物, 但在过去的几年里,澳大利亚骆驼的数量一直以相当惊人的速度增长, 并变成了一个问题)可知,澳大利亚骆驼的数量的迅速增长是一个问题。选项C与文意相符,故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The importing of camels into Australia began in the mid1800s to open up the desert areas of Central and Western Australia.”(从19世纪中期开始,骆驼进口到澳大利亚,开辟了中、西澳大利亚的沙漠地区)可知骆驼被带到澳大利亚是为了开发沙漠地区。选项B与文意相符,故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“but with the arrival of motor and rail transport in the 1930s people no longer needed their camels and a lot of them were abandoned in the bush.”(但随着20世纪30年代汽车和铁路运输的到来, 人们不再需要骆驼,很多骆驼被遗弃在丛林中。)可知,现代车辆的可用性导致骆驼在澳大利亚被遗弃。选项D与文意相符,故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Australian Camels are now exported live to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries where disease-free camels are considered a delicacy(佳肴). Australian Camels are also exported to Arab Camel racing stables as breeding stock. The United States also imports them to use in tourist attractions. There are over 40 farms providing rides in Australia now.”(澳大利亚骆驼现在出口到沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国和其他国家,在这些国家,无病骆驼被认为是一种美味佳肴。澳大利亚骆驼也作为繁殖品出口到阿拉伯骆驼赛马场。美国还进口它们用于旅游景点。现在澳大利亚有40多个农场提供游乐设施)可知,本段主要是描述 澳大利亚骆驼的现在的用途。选项B与文意相符,故选B。
D
In the waves of human exploration into space, our brave Chinese people have never stopped the pace of advancing. In just half a century, China has made remarkable aviation exploration success. After landing probes on the lunar and Martian surfaces, China has begun to set its exploratory sights on the core of our solar system—the sun.
Named Xihe after the sun goddess in ancient Chinese mythology, the 508-kilogram Chinese H-Alpha Solar Explorer satellite was launched on Oct. 14 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi province. It then entered a sun-synchronous orbit about 517 kilometers above Earth.
The spacecraft is China's first space-based solar telescope and is designed to work for at least three years, Wang Wei, project manager of the satellite, told China Daily.
Its scientific payload is an H-alpha imaging spectrograph. The H-alpha band is one of the best spectral lines to study solar activity, according to the Global Times. “The instrument is able to observe and record changes in the sun's physical elements like its temperature and speed, facilitating scientists' studies about the dynamics and physics during a solar eruption,” Wang told China Daily.
Several Chinese satellites, such as the Fengyun 3E meteorological satellite, have carried equipment that can collect solar data, but Xihe is the first one dedicated to solar observation.
“Since solar activity has many effects on life on Earth, it is important for mankind to study the sun,” Zhao Jian, a senior official at the China National Space Administration, told China Daily.
Since the 1960s, NASA has sent dozens of solar orbiters to circle the sun, and in 2004, the Genesis spacecraft returned a sample of solar wind. The most recently launched solar mission was Parker Solar Probe in 2018. Europe and Japan also have solar missions, according to the South China Morning Post.
“Our country is ranked No. 2 in the world in terms of published research papers on solar observations, but all of the satellite-generated data used by our scientists are from foreign spacecraft,” Zhao told China Daily. “Xihe will put an end to the dependence on foreign satellites, and we will share its products with researchers around the world.”
12. What do we know about Xihe
A. It is expected to work for five years. B. It is a half-ton scientific research satellite.
C. It is named after an ancient Chinese scientist. D. It is the world's first solar observation satellite.
13. What is the main task of Xihe according to the text
A. To monitor changes in the sun's physical elements.
B. To adjust the temperature and speed of the sun.
C. To study how solar activity affects life on Earth.
D. To observe other satellites around the sun.
14. Why is it essential to do research on the sun
A. Our reliance on foreign satellites will come to an end.
B. It helps scientists learn more about solar history.
C. Solar eruptions may bring human beings disasters.
D. Creatures on Earth would suffer with little knowledge about solar activity.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The advantages of the Xihe satellite. B. The significance of the Xihe mission.
C. The development of China's space exploration. D. The ways scientists collect satellite-generated data.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍我国首颗探日卫星“羲和号”的发射,介绍了“羲和号”的主要任务以及其发射的重要意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Named Xihe after the sun goddess in ancient Chinese mythology, the 508-kilogram Chinese H-Alpha Solar Explorer satellite was launched on Oct. 14 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi province.(10月14日,重508公斤的中国H-Alpha太阳探测卫星在山西太原卫星发射中心发射升空,以中国古代神话中的太阳女神“羲和”命名)”可知,“羲和号”是一颗重达半吨的科学研究卫星。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The instrument is able to observe and record changes in the sun's physical elements like its temperature and speed, facilitating scientists' studies about the dynamics and physics during a solar eruption(该仪器能够观察和记录太阳物理要素的变化,如温度和速度,有助于科学家研究太阳爆发时的动力学和物理学)”可知,“羲和号”的主要任务是观察和记录太阳的物理元素变化。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段““Since solar activity has many effects on life on Earth, it is important for mankind to study the sun,” Zhao Jian, a senior official at the China National Space Administration, told China Daily.( 国家航天局高级官员赵建在接受《中国日报》采访时表示:“由于太阳活动对地球上的生命有很多影响,所以研究太阳对人类来说非常重要。”)”可推知,如果人类对太阳活动知之甚少,地球生物很可能遭受影响,故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段““Our country is ranked No. 2 in the world in terms of published research papers on solar observations, but all of the satellite-generated data used by our scientists are from foreign spacecraft,” Zhao told China Daily. “Xihe will put an end to the dependence on foreign satellites, and we will share its products with researchers around the world.”(“就已发表的太阳观测研究论文而言,我国排名世界第二,但我国科学家使用的所有卫星数据都来自外国航天器,”赵在接受《中国日报》采访时表示。“‘羲和’号将结束对外国卫星的依赖,我们将与世界各地的研究人员分享其成果。”)”可知,最后一段主要说明了“羲和号”的意义。故选B。

The Ex-Footballer
I eventually managed to persuade my parents to buy me a new football shirt for the school matches. My old shirt had worn out and made me depressed every time I put it on. But now I had a brand-new shirt! I was so excited. The next school match wasn’t until next week though! How could I wait that long I couldn’t. So I decided to wear it today for the first time during a kick about in our street. I wish I hadn’t! As soon as we had been playing for ten minutes, the shirt sleeve ripped (裂开) when I made a turn. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first. “I’ll sew it back together after the match” I thought. But then I noticed that it wasn’t just the stitch (针脚) that had come out, the whole sleeve was torn. Only a professional can mend it now. I couldn’t tell my mum and dad that my new football shirt was ruined. I needed a tailor. As I walked home, feeling totally at a loss what to do, I was startled to suddenly come across a shop sign “All kinds of repairs and services!” I went inside immediately. However, I hadn’t seen the step in front of the door and I tripped into the shop hitting a wooden sculpture to the left of the entrance. When I crashed into it, it broke! I looked around the shop feeling embarrassed and blushing bright red. A man with white bushy hair said calmly, “Welcome!” “I’m sorry. I broke your sculpture.” “You’ve broken it in just the right place. This is a repair shop. Repairs are my job! I looked around the shop. I saw an iron, broken toys and a broken chair. “I guess this is the wrong place. What I really need is a tailor’s” I said, putting my fingers through the tear (裂口) in the shirt. “It’s OK. I’ve been waiting a long, long time to repair a football shirt. “Are you serious ” I held the shirt tight so he couldn’t take it from me.

But the man didn’t let me move and took the shirt from me. “Are you a football player ”he asked. “Yes, I play for both the street and the school team and how did you know ” I replied. “You have many years ahead of you. We may see you play for a professional team one day.” “Impossible! My dad doesn't see football as a profession. He thinks I should be an engineer, a doctor or an economist.” “Not at all. People who choose a career they really desire become successful and happy.” The man was repairing the tear with thread. He showed me the patch that he was sewing onto the tear.
Paragraph 2:
When I said “Thank you”, I noticed a photo of a football team attached to the sewing machine (缝纫机). It was a black and white photo next to the sewing machine. I couldn't make out which team it was or any of the players from where I was sitting. I asked him if he liked football. He nodded his head with passion. “Why didn't you become a football player then ” I asked. He shook with laughter. He was silent and didn’t say anything else.

Cindy, my dog, was six years old when my son Tony was born. And she was immediately very protective over him. We lived near a busy road. As my son was too young, we were super vigilant for fear that he should go out of the front door.
Cindy knew that our son wasn’t allowed to go through the front door without us, so whenever Tony touched the front door handle, she would push him back. One morning, around 4 am, our son somehow managed to “escape” through his bedroom window, and Cindy had to follow.
At 5 am, the police woke us knocking on the door. They said, “Your son was nearly killed but the dog saved him.” They then repeated what the truck driver had said.
He told them that he was driving along in the dark and in the distance he could see something “light coloured” moving on the road. As he got closer, he could see a dog at the side of the road barking at it. At the last moment, he realized that it was a child and was about to change the direction. The dog was still barking, glancing(扫视) between the truck and the child. While the driver was braking(刹车), the dog ran out into the road, jumped at the child’s back and threw him out of the path of the truck. At the same time, the truck hit the dog and she was killed.
The driver said that he’d never believe what he saw unless it was with his own eyes. He thought that the dog definitely knew the danger, which was why she was barking so anxiously. He said “that dog just saved that kid’s life and it knew what it was doing.”
That was 39 years ago and I still miss Cindy every day.
4. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “vigilant”

C. A Barking Hero
D. A Careless Driver

There are a lot of feral(野生的) camels in Australia. Although they don't appear to be as destructive as other introduced species because they eat trees and plants that our native Australian animals don' t eat, in the last few years the Australian Camel population has been increasing at a fairly alarming rate and becoming a bit of a problem.
We didn’t see them that often where we grew up unless we went further into Queensland or South Australia. When we did see them it was always a bit of a thrill for us kids because it was somewhat of a novelty(新奇的事物).
The suggestion of bringing camels to Australia was first made in 1837, 49 years after Europeans arrived in Australia. The importing of camels into Australia began in the mid 1800s to open up the desert areas of Central and Western Australia. They were handled and cared for by Muslim cameleers that came from countries like Egypt, Turkey and northern India. The cameleers were called Afghans or “Ghans”even though most of them were not Afghans. The name stuck to a part of the railroad track that links Port Augusta in South Australia to Darwin in the Northern Territory.
By the 1920s there were about 20,000 domesticated(家养的) camels in Australia, but with the arrival of motor and rail transport in the 1930s people no longer needed their camels and a lot of them were abandoned in the bush.
Australian Camels are now exported live to Saudi Arabia the United Arab Emirates and other countries where disease-free camels are considered a delicacy(佳肴). Australian Camels are also exported to Arab Camel racing stables as breeding stock. The United States also imports them to use in tourist attractions. There are over 40 farms providing rides in Australia now.
8. What problem with camels in Australia is mentioned
A. They carry disease.
B. They hurt people sometimes.
C. The number of them is growing rapidly.
D. Some native animals are threatened by them.
9. For what purpose were camels brought to Australia
A. To keep the balance of nature. B. To develop the desert areas.
C. To satisfy kids’ curiosity. D. To create new jobs.
10. What led to camels' being deserted in Australia
A. The disappearance of bushes. B. The spread of a serious disease.
C. The introduction of other animals. D. The availability of modern vehicles.
11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A. The history of Australian Camels. B. What Australian Camels are used for.
C. The advantages of Australian Camels. D. Why Australian Camels are popular abroad.
D
In the waves of human exploration into space our brave Chinese people have never stopped the pace of advancing. In just half a century, China has made remarkable aviation exploration success. After landing probes on the lunar and Martian surfaces, China has begun to set its exploratory sights on the core of our solar system—the sun.
Named Xihe after the sun goddess in ancient Chinese mythology, the 508-kilogram Chinese H-Alpha Solar Explorer satellite was launched on Oct. 14 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi province. It then entered a sun-synchronous orbit about 517 kilometers above Earth.
The spacecraft is China's first space-based solar telescope and is designed to work for at least three years, Wang Wei, project manager of the satellite, told China Daily.
Its scientific payload is an H-alpha imaging spectrograph. The H-alpha band is one of the best spectral lines to study solar activity, according to the Global Times. “The instrument is able to observe and record changes in the sun's physical elements like its temperature and speed, facilitating scientists' studies about the dynamics and physics during a solar eruption,” Wang told China Daily.
Several Chinese satellites, such as the Fengyun 3E meteorological satellite, have carried equipment that can collect solar data, but Xihe is the first one dedicated to solar observation.
“Since solar activity has many effects on life on Earth, it is important for mankind to study the sun,” Zhao Jian, a senior official at the China National Space Administration, told China Daily.
Since the 1960s, NASA has sent dozens of solar orbiters to circle the sun, and in 2004, the Genesis spacecraft returned a sample of solar wind. The most recently launched solar mission was Parker Solar Probe in 2018. Europe and Japan also have solar missions, according to the South China Morning Post.
“Our country is ranked No. 2 in the world in terms of published research papers on solar observations, but all of the satellite-generated data used by our scientists are from foreign spacecraft,” Zhao told China Daily. “Xihe will put an end to the dependence on foreign satellites, and we will share its products with researchers around the world.”
12. What do we know about Xihe
A. It is expected to work for five years. B. It is a half-ton scientific research satellite.
C. It is named after an ancient Chinese scientist. D. It is the world's first solar observation satellite.
13. What is the main task of Xihe according to the text
A To monitor changes in the sun's physical elements.
B To adjust the temperature and speed of the sun.
C. To study how solar activity affects life on Earth.
D. To observe other satellites around the sun.
14. Why is it essential to do research on the sun
A. Our reliance on foreign satellites will come to an end.
B. It helps scientists learn more about solar history.
C. Solar eruptions may bring human beings disasters.
D. Creatures on Earth would suffer with little knowledge about solar activity.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about

The Ex-Footballer
I eventually managed to persuade my parents to buy me a new football shirt for the school matches. My old shirt had worn out and made me depressed every time I put it on. But now I had a brand-new shirt! I was so excited. The next school match wasn’t until next week though! How could I wait that long I couldn’t. So I decided to wear it today for the first time during a kick about in our street. I wish I hadn’t! As soon as we had been playing for ten minutes, the shirt sleeve ripped (裂开) when I made a turn. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first. “I’ll sew it back together after the match” I thought. But then I noticed that it wasn’t just the stitch (针脚) that had come out, the whole sleeve was torn. Only a professional can mend it now. I couldn’t tell my mum and dad that my new football shirt was ruined. I needed a tailor. As I walked home, feeling totally at a loss what to do, I was startled to suddenly come across a shop sign “All kinds of repairs and services!” I went inside immediately. However, I hadn’t seen the step in front of the door and I tripped into the shop hitting a wooden sculpture to the left of the entrance. When I crashed into it, it broke! I looked around the shop feeling embarrassed and blushing bright red. A man with white bushy hair said calmly, “Welcome!” “I’m sorry. I broke your sculpture.” “You’ve broken it in just the right place. This is a repair shop. Repairs are my job! I looked around the shop. I saw an iron, broken toys and a broken chair. “I guess this is the wrong place. What I really need is a tailor’s” I said, putting my fingers through the tear (裂口) in the shirt. “It’s OK. I’ve been waiting a long, long time to repair a football shirt. “Are you serious ” I held the shirt tight so he couldn’t take it from me.
