Four of the World's Best Futurists(未来学家)
Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly is an author. His 1994 publication, Out of Control, discusses a future where machines and systems are so complex as to be indistinguished(难区分的) from living things.
His latest book What Technology Wants suggests that technology is not just a mixture of wires and metals but a living thing that has its own need. The book looks out through the eyes of this global technological system to discover what it wants.
Dr Michio Kaku
Dr Michio Kaku is a professor of theoretical physics at the City of New York and author of The Future of the Mind and Physics of the Future.
In The Future of the Mind , he explores the frontier of neuroscience. He predicts that one day we will be able to upload the human brain into a computer. In Physics of the Future, he predicts that glasses and contact lenses will be connected to the Internet and cars will become driverless with the power of the GPS system.
David Brin
Science fiction author and scientist, David Brin has received awards. In 1998, he won the Freedom of Speech Award for The Transparence Society. The book concerns threats to personal affairs and openness in the information age. In a world where the police monitor public places 24 hours a day with cameras and some credit companies can sell people's financial details to anyone willing to pay, Brin warns that surveillance(监控) technology will be used by too few people in the future. He argues that the tables should be turned and the public should have access to information like who is buying financial details from credit companies.
Dr Ray Kurzweil
Dr Ray Kurzweil is the main inventor of the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind. He is the director of artificial intelligence development at Google.
Over the past 25 years, a number of his predictions have come true. In 1990, he predicted a computer would defeat a human at chess by 1998.He predicts that by the 2020s, most diseases will go away and self-driving cars begin to take over the roads.

When almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline (座机)
These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.
Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones according to a survey (调查). Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor (因素)— only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries
4 What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones
A. Their target users. B. Their wide popularity.
C. Their major functions. D. Their complex design.
5. What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Admit. B. Argue.
C. Remember. D. Remark.
6. What can we say about Baby Boomers
A. They like smartphone games. B. They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.
C. They keep using landline phones. D. They are attached to their family.
7. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph
A. It remains a family necessity.
B. It will fall out of use some day.
C. It may increase daily expenses.
D. It is as important as the gas light.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚使用固定电话的情况，并且表达了固定电话是非必需品的观点。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.(现在你很难在澳大利亚找到15岁以上的没有手机的人。事实上，很多年幼的孩子口袋里都有手机。几乎每个人都可以随时随地拨打和接听电话)”可推知，本段主要说明手机在澳大利亚广受欢迎。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.(在那些仍然拥有固定电话的澳大利亚人中，三分之一的人concede这不是真正必须的，他们将其作为一种安全保障——19%的人说他们从未使用过固定电话，另有13%的人保留固定电话以防紧急情况)”可知，许多人认为固定电话并不是必须拥有的，有些人保留固定电话只是为了防止紧急情况，所以三分之一的人承认了固定电话的非必要性。由此推知，推测划线单词表示“承认”，与admit同义。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.(婴儿潮时代中有84%的人可能已经有50年相同的家庭号码了)”以及第五段“That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents (也就是说，老实说，唯一打过我们家电话的人是婴儿潮一代的父母)”可推知，婴儿潮一代的人一直在用固定电话。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“How attached are you to your landline How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries (你有多喜欢你的固定电话？它们还要多久才能走上煤气路灯和早晨送牛奶的道路？)”以及常识可知，本段使用类比的方式，使用煤气路灯以及早晨送牛奶已经被淘汰的例子，侧面说明了固定电话总有一天会被废弃的。故选B项。
C
Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer’s office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public’s fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
8. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s
A. Academic. B. Unattractive. C. Inexpensive. D. Confidential.
9. What did street sales mean to newspapers
A. They would be priced higher. B. They would disappear from cities.
C. They could have more readers. D. They could regain public trust.
10. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at
A. Local politicians. B. Common people.
C. Young publishers. D. Rich businessmen.
11. What can we say about the birth of the penny paper
A. It was a difficult process. B. It was a temporary success.
C. It was a robbery of the poor. D. It was a disaster for printers.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了面向大众的“便士报纸”的诞生历史。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding.可知，在19世纪30年代之前，只有大多数报纸中几乎没有能吸引大众的内容，让人感觉无聊，视觉上令人望而却步。故那时的报纸没有什么吸引力。分析选项，A. Academic学术的；B. Unattractive没有吸引力，无魅力的；C. Inexpensive廉价的，不贵的；D. Confidential机密的，保密的。故A、C和D是错误的，只有B符合对19世纪30年代之前的报纸的描述，故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段提到“便士报纸”针对大众，很便宜，更重要的是，在街上可以买的到报纸；再结合第三段中间的within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities.可知，报纸的街头销售随处可见，而且很便宜，大家都负担得起，所以街头销售意味着读报纸的人多了。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public.可知，这种“便士报纸”针对大众，在街上就可以买得到。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中The new trend of newspapers for ‘the man on the street’ did not begin well. Some of the early ventures were immediately failures. Publishers already in business, people who owners of successful papers, had little desires to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.可知，“便士报纸”一开始并不好，一些早期的尝试立即失败了。已经进入商业领域的成功的出版商，并不想改变这一传统。后来一些年轻而大胆的商人才推动了这件事。由此可推断出“便士报纸”的诞生是一个困难而曲折的过程。故选A。
D
I have dreamed of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing always needs waiting.
I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park, which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing (观光) that afternoon, so I could hardly wait to see the sunrise. The next morning, we all got out of bed very early and got to the seaside at 3 o’clock. In the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. (冻死) But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later, “Amazing!” Judy burst out and we all shouted to welcome the light, which was really unbelievable. Until today, I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also one memory I can’t forget forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination (决心) , but what about the result after that It might turn out to be pleasing and unbelievable. So, it is really worth (值得的) waiting for the best.
12. What can we learn from the passage
A. he author’s friends and the author took a trip to China.
B. Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise.
C. Sometimes, it is worth waiting for the best.
D. The author enjoyed the worst sunrise in his life.
13. When did they see the first light of the sunrise
A About 3 o’clock. B. About 4 o’clock.
C. About 5 o’clock. D. About 6 o’clock.
14. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2
A. Total. B. Cold. C. Terrible. D. Interesting.
15. How did the author feel when waiting for the sunrise
A. Excited all the time. B. Afraid all the time.
C. Firstly excited then afraid. D. Firstly excited then impatient.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述和朋友早起看日出的经历，告诉我们一个道理：最好的总是值得等待。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.”（所以，等待最好的结果是值得的。）并结合作者等待看日出的经历可知，有时候等待最好的结果是值得的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“we all got out of bed very early and got to the seaside at 3 o’clock. In the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually lost my patience”（我们都很早就起床了，3点钟就到了海边。在最初的半个小时里，我们想象着当第一缕阳光从厚厚的云层中出来的时候是多么的美妙，当阳光照射到我们的皮肤时是多么的柔软，所以我们等啊等啊。然而，又过了半个小时，我渐渐失去了耐心）可知，我们3点来到海边，在接下来的半个小时里(也就是3点半)我们想象日出时的景象，又过去了半个小时(也就是4点)，还没有日出，再结合第三段第一句“Nearly another one hour later，’Amazing!’ Judy burst out and we all shouted to welcome the light”（又过了将近一个小时，“太棒了！”朱迪突然脱口而出，我们都喊着欢迎光明，这真是令人难以置信。）可知，将近又一个小时后(也就是5点)我们欢呼着迎接日出。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中“I felt that I was frozen to death.”（我觉得我要被冻死了。）可知，天气非常冷，除了寒冷的黑暗什么也没有，故推测chilly意为“寒冷的”。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. ”（在最初的半个小时里，我们想象着当第一缕阳光从厚厚的云层中出来的时候是多么的美妙，当阳光照射到我们的皮肤时是多么的柔软，所以我们等啊等啊。但又过了半个小时，我渐渐失去了耐心，除了寒冷的黑暗，什么也没有，我觉得自己快要冻死了。）可知，等待日出时，作者一开始很兴奋，但等待日出时的寒冷和黑暗让作者渐渐失去了耐心。故选D项。

____16____
You cannot correct your pronunciation when you don’t know the rules of it. So, start improving your pronunciation by first making yourself clear about the knowledge.

Add correct stress to words.
English is a stressed language. ____19____ You can hear this when you say a word out loud. For example, the word “introduce” is pronounced with a stress at the end, so it sounds like this: “in-tro-DUCE”．
Practice every day.
After learning how to say something correctly, you need to practice often. ____20____ With enough practice, you can get what sounds right too.
A. Learn the rules.
B. Write down what you hear.

【17题详解】

【19题详解】
根据小标题“Add correct stress to words.(给单词正确的重读)”和后文“For example, the word “introduce” is pronounced with a stress at the end, so it sounds like this: “in-tro-DUCE”.(例如，“introduce”这个单词在发音时在末尾重读，所以它听起来像这样：“in-tro-DUCE”)”可知，此处是指有些单词的重读程度不同，所以选项E“这意味着在说某些词时要用更大的力量。”切合文意。故选E。
20题详解】
根据前文“After learning how to say something correctly, you need to practice often.(在学会如何正确地发音之后，你需要经常练习)”和后文“With enough practice, you can get what sounds right too.(通过足够的练习，你也可以把听起来正确的东西说出来)”可知，此处是指要经常进行足够的正确发音练习，所以选项G“每天至少花30分钟，重复单词的正确发音。”切合文意。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了作者最喜欢的数学老师。
【36题详解】

【37题详解】

【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：Ma’am上学期加入我们。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，所以join作本句谓语，根据时间状语last term，应用一般过去时。故填joined。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：她很和蔼，她的教学方式是如此有趣和简单，我们都能理解所教的一切，以及如何做到这一点。分析句子结构可知，空前是系动词，所以空处应填形容词作表语，修饰主语her way，为物，应该用-ing形式。故填interesting。

【44题详解】
考查代词。句意：即使我们去野餐，她也很照顾我们。分析句子结构可知，of为介词，后接人称代词宾格做宾语。故填us。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：对我来说，马老师不仅是一位好老师，也是我们最好的朋友。分析句子结构可知，teacher是可数名词，此处表泛指，前面加不定冠词，good是辅音音素开头，因此用不定冠词a。故填a。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in Grade One, most of my classmates didn’t like to play with me because I was always shy and silent. However, I always got high grades in both exams and activities. Gradually, I got the respect of my classmates. And my teachers repeatedly praised me and asked me to assist my classmates in their study. Besides, there were various competitions in my school and I was always chosen as the representative of our class.
However, life is not always happy. There are times when we experience ups and downs. When I was in Grade Three, a student named Vannilyn came to our school, and she was placed in the class next to mine. Months passed and the result of the mid-term examination was released. I was still the No. 1 in my class and I heard that Vannilyn was the No. 1 in her class. However, I just ignored her and in my thought, I was still superior because I was a seasoned pupil.
There were times when I didn’t want to open my books to read and study for our next day’s lesson. When I did my homework, I became careless and I didn’t even mind whether my handwriting looked beautiful or not. What’s worse, I gradually became addicted to computer games. And because of that, my teachers began to criticise me and what made me angry was that they always mentioned Vannilyn in front of me!
I got annoyed every time my teachers compared me with Vannilyn. I was discouraged and no longer followed their instructions. At the end of the first term, the principal’s assistant announced the final examination result, and I still ranked No. 1. Therefore, I became prouder and told myself that I would still be the best student even if I didn’t study hard.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was overconfident and didn’t pay much attention to my study.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Three days later, the result of the English Spelling competition was announced.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
I was overconfident and didn’t pay much attention to my study. Believing that I would always be the best in studies, whether I studied hard or not, I continued to play computer games and did what I thought was fun and interesting. At the beginning of the second term, our school organised an English Spelling Competition, in which there were six participants, including Vannilyn and me. When looking at Vannilyn in the competition room, I suddenly felt not so confident of myself. Three minutes later, the competition started.
Paragraph 2:
Three days later, the result of the English Spelling competition was announced. I was shocked to know that I only took the third place, with Vannilyn being the first. I sat on my chair, tears rolling down my face. After calming down, I began to reflect on what I had been doing those days. How I regretted the days that had been wasted playing games but should have been spent on my studies. I know better the saying “Pride goes before a fall” through my own experience.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了我学习很好，在班级很受人欢迎。但三年级时，隔壁班新来的同学Vannilyn的学习成绩和我不相上下，这让我很苦恼。于是，学习状态受到影响，我开始沉迷电脑游戏，因而受到老师批评，老师还总将我和Vannilyn进行比较。但是我期末考试成绩还是第一名，因此我骄傲地认为自己不努力学习也可以取得好成绩。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我过于自信，不太注重学习”可知，第一段可描写作者过于自信以及不注重学习的表现。
②由第二段首句内容“三天后，英语拼写比赛的成绩宣布了”可知，第二段可描写作者知道拼写比赛成绩不好之后的表现，以及感悟。
2.续写线索：过于自信——放松学习——参加比赛——公布结果——成绩不好——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类：
学习好：be the best in studies/get best grades in class
组织比赛：organize a competition/hold a competition
流眼泪：tears running down my face/my eyes watering
情绪类：

Four of the World's Best Futurists(未来学家)
Kevin Kelly
Kevin Kelly is an author. His 1994 publication, Out of Control, discusses a future where machines and systems are so complex as to be indistinguished(难区分的) from living things.
His latest book What Technology Wants suggests that technology is not just a mixture of wires and metals but a living thing that has its own need. The book looks out through the eyes of this global technological system to discover what it wants.
Dr Michio Kaku
Dr Michio Kaku is a professor of theoretical physics at the City of New York and author of The Future of the Mind and Physics of the Future.
In The Future of the Mind , he explores the frontier of neuroscience. He predicts that one day we will be able to upload the human brain into a computer. In Physics of the Future, he predicts that glasses and contact lenses will be connected to the Internet and cars will become driverless with the power of the GPS system.
David Brin
Science fiction author and scientist, David Brin has received awards. In 1998, he won the Freedom of Speech Award for The Transparence Society. The book concerns threats to personal affairs and openness in the information age. In a world where the police monitor public places 24 hours a day with cameras and some credit companies can sell people's financial details to anyone willing to pay, Brin warns that surveillance(监控) technology will be used by too few people in the future. He argues that the tables should be turned and the public should have access to information like who is buying financial details from credit companies.
Dr Ray Kurzweil
Dr Ray Kurzweil is the main inventor of the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind. He is the director of artificial intelligence development at Google.
Over the past 25 years, a number of his predictions have come true. In 1990, he predicted a computer would defeat a human at chess by 1998.He predicts that by the 2020s, most diseases will go away and self-driving cars begin to take over the roads.

When almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline (座机)
These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.
Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones according to a survey (调查). Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor (因素)— only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries
4. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones
A. Their target users. B. Their wide popularity.
C. Their major functions. D. Their complex design.
5. What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Admit. B. Argue.
C. Remember. D. Remark.
6 What can we say about Baby Boomers
A. They like smartphone games. B. They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.
C. They keep using landline phones. D. They are attached to their family.
7. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph
A. It remains a family necessity.
B. It will fall out of use some day.
C. It may increase daily expenses.
D. It is as important as the gas light.
C
Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer’s office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public’s fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
8. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s
A. Academic. B. Unattractive. C. Inexpensive. D. Confidential.
9. What did street sales mean to newspapers
A. They would be priced higher. B. They would disappear from cities.
C. They could have more readers. D. They could regain public trust.
10. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at
A. Local politicians. B. Common people.
C. Young publishers. D. Rich businessmen.
11. What can we say about the birth of the penny paper
A. It was a difficult process. B. It was a temporary success.
C It was a robbery of the poor. D. It was a disaster for printers.
D
I have dreamed of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing always needs waiting.
I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park, which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing (观光) that afternoon, so I could hardly wait to see the sunrise. The next morning, we all got out of bed very early and got to the seaside at 3 o’clock. In the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. (冻死) But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later, “Amazing!” Judy burst out and we all shouted to welcome the light, which was really unbelievable. Until today, I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also one memory I can’t forget forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination (决心) , but what about the result after that It might turn out to be pleasing and unbelievable. So, it is really worth (值得的) waiting for the best.
12. What can we learn from the passage
A. he author’s friends and the author took a trip to China.
B. Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise.
C. Sometimes, it is worth waiting for the best.
D. The author enjoyed the worst sunrise in his life.
13. When did they see the first light of the sunrise
A. About 3 o’clock. B. About 4 o’clock.
C. About 5 o’clock. D. About 6 o’clock.
14. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2
A. Total. B. Cold. C. Terrible. D. Interesting.
15. How did the author feel when waiting for the sunrise
A. Excited all the time. B. Afraid all the time.
C. Firstly excited then afraid. D. Firstly excited then impatient.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in Grade One, most of my classmates didn’t like to play with me because I was always shy and silent. However, I always got high grades in both exams and activities. Gradually, I got the respect of my classmates. And my teachers repeatedly praised me and asked me to assist my classmates in their study. Besides, there were various competitions in my school and I was always chosen as the representative of our class.
However, life is not always happy. There are times when we experience ups and downs. When I was in Grade Three, a student named Vannilyn came to our school, and she was placed in the class next to mine. Months passed and the result of the mid-term examination was released. I was still the No. 1 in my class and I heard that Vannilyn was the No. 1 in her class. However, I just ignored her and in my thought, I was still superior because I was a seasoned pupil.
There were times when I didn’t want to open my books to read and study for our next day’s lesson. When I did my homework, I became careless and I didn’t even mind whether my handwriting looked beautiful or not. What’s worse, I gradually became addicted to computer games. And because of that, my teachers began to criticise me and what made me angry was that they always mentioned Vannilyn in front of me!
I got annoyed every time my teachers compared me with Vannilyn. I was discouraged and no longer followed their instructions. At the end of the first term, the principal’s assistant announced the final examination result, and I still ranked No. 1. Therefore, I became prouder and told myself that I would still be the best student even if I didn’t study hard.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
