1.The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells Published in 1897, this science fiction has inspired countless novels since then and continues to fascinate its readers. The unnamed hero is one of the first witnesses to a strange-looking meteorite (陨石) in England. Not long after, it is apparent that the meteorite is Martian and an invasion is around the corner. What is it like for man, the dominator of earth, to be dominated by a race of aliens
2.The Dune Saga(沙丘) by Frank Herbert Published from 1965 to 1985, The Dune Saga contains 6 novels and is widely considered the greatest epic of science fiction. Instead of sticking to a single character, these novels begin with Paul Atreides, first a son of a noble family and then the emperor of the known universe. The novels follow Paul's descendants(后裔), ending by revealing the fate of his planet, Arrakis, and the fate of his generations.
3.The Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis This series contains three books that were published from 1938 to 1945. Lewis explores the nature of humanity by taking the main character, Dr. Elwin Ransom, outside of Earth and to the planets of Mars and Venus. On these planets, the residents are not corrupt(腐败的), but corruption from Earth threatens them. When Ransom returns to Earth in the final book, corruption even greater than when he left awaits him there.
4.Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury The future society in the priceless 1953 novel is made worse by technology. Ray Bradbury discusses the importance of books by using such a society that burns them.

A tiny school in western New South Wales is eyeing the skies hoping for dry weather so it can harvest its first wheat crop.
Seven students from kindergarten to year six attend Hermidale Public School, more than 600 kilometres west of Sydney. Each day they spend part of their school time outside tending the 85-hectare crop.
The land was donated by a former student. Fifty years ago young Craig Grimmond often looked out of the school window at a bare paddock (小围场) that neighboured the school. Now he owns the land and kindly donated it to the students for their project.
"People asked, 'Why would you donate that whole block to them' " he said. "I hardly use it and it's going to be better for me in the long run because it'll be cleaned up and will save me a job down the track."
Principal Skye Dedman said the school community felt very lucky. They took this opportunity for the students. The students' crop is a reality that seemed almost impossible three years ago. Ms. Dedman said there were days when students were forced to stay indoors because of huge dust storms. Their school and their community really felt the threat of the drought.
The students have had the use of the land for three years. During the three years, the tiny community has dealt with a mouse plague (鼠疫), the pandemic and flooding. The whole community has thrown its support behind the project, including farmer and parent Darren Mudford.
"We've sown wheat this year and it would be nice if we got two or two-and-a-half tonne to the hectare, which is not a bad effort," he said. "It's much better than a cake sale."
The students' wheat crop is expected to raise up to $50,000. The money will then be used to send the students on trips around the country. They are hoping to go to Newcastle later this year to see their wheat being loaded at the port.
24.Why did Craig Grimmond donate the paddock to the school
A. It saved him from taking care of the paddock.
B. It was his promise to his former teachers.
C. The paddock was too far away from him.
D. He didn't have money to run the paddock.
25.What made the students' crop impossible three years ago
A. Their lack of confidence. B. The terrible dry weather.
C. Little community support. D. Their poor planting technology.
26.What was Darren Mudford's attitude to the students' wheat harvest
A. Worried. B. Regretful. C. Hopeful. D. Satisfied.
27.What will the students' income be used for
A. Opening a cake store. B. Paying for their travels.
C. Enlarging the planting areas. D. Repaying the school community.
C
What do Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, and Frodo all have in common with the heroes of ancient myths Joseph Campbell studied myths from all over the world and published a book called The Hero with a Thousand Faces, retelling dozens of stories and explaining how each represents the Monomyth, or Hero's Journey. So, what is the "Hero's Journey"
He thinks of it as a cycle in his book. The journey begins with the hero receiving a mysterious message, an invitation, or a challenge. After crossing the threshold from his safe home to adventure, with some help probably from someone older, wiser, our hero solves a riddle, slays a monster, escapes from a trap. The hero's darkest hour then comes, when he faces death and possibly even dies, only to be reborn. As a result, the hero claims some treasure, special recognition, or power, which can vary between stories. After all that adventure, the hero returns to his ordinary world, but upgrades to a new level. Nothing is quite the same once you are a hero.
The Hero's Journey myth exists in all human cultures and keeps getting updated, because we humans reflect on our world through symbolic stories of our own lives. You leave your comfort zone, have an experience that transforms you and then you recover and do it again. You don't literally slay dragons or fight Voldemort, but you face problems just as scary. Joseph Campbell said, "In the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek."
What is the symbolic cave then you fear to enter Auditions for the school play Baseball tryouts The paper due
Watch for this formula in books, movies, and TV shows you come across. You will certainly see it again. Also be sensitive to it in your own life. Listen for your call to adventure. Accept the challenge. Conquer your fear and claim the treasure you seek. And then, do it all over again.
28.What is the correct order of the following stages of the "Hero's Journey"
①Return to the ordinary world but outgrow his old life.
②Receive the call to adventure and assistance from a wiser.
③Set out on the adventure and go through a series of tough trials.
④Face the life-or-death crisis and be reborn with some special power.
A.①②③④ B.②④①③ C.②③④① D.③②④①
29.Why is Hero's Journey myth so popular
A. It's a way to reflect on our world. B. It's a way to learn about the past.
C. These stories are always being updated. D. These stories are part of human culture.
30.Which of the following may the author disagree with
A. We all need a "cave" to hide in the face of danger.
B. Our comfort zone will hinder our development.
C. Difficulties we face tend to be treasures in life.
D. We should overcome our fears faced with danger.
31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Hero with a Thousand Faces B. The Hero's Journey
C. How to Conquer Your Fear D. Where to Find a Hero
D
Achieving a healthy work-life balance — an idea that has spread to countries around the world — has become one of the primary social goals today. This has resulted in an immediate need for companies to allow for a variety of work styles such as working from home, while also providing a friendly work environment that can bring out the best in each employee.
It all sounds very promising, but in reality, most offices today feature the same boring designs. To make matters worse, air conditioning is often kept to a minimum to cut electricity costs, while windows are covered with blinds to prevent dizziness from longer exposure to natural light. Employees who work indoors are forced to spend most of their days in these unpleasantly warm environments. Since the choice is to build costly new offices that are brighter and more open, there is a real need for solutions that can create a sense of brightness and openness.
This is where Mitsubishi Electric's revolutionary new technology comes into play. It is a lighting solution to produce the exact deep blue color of a clear sky. Using this technology, offices can work in a way that was not possible with previous LED lights.
The blue skies that are seen on a clear day are produced by what is known as Rayleigh scattering(散射). Because blue light waves are shorter than red light waves, they are scattered towards us more strongly — this is why the sky looks blue during the day.
Mitsubishi Electric's LED skylight uses the same phenomenon to artificially create the sky's deep blue quality. It is made up of a slim sky blue panel(嵌板) and a four-sided frame. Of the four frames, only three are lit up at any given time, while the fourth remains dark as if the light were entering at an angle — an important detail that creates the false idea of actual sunlight pouring in through a skylight. Thanks to this technology, one can remain in a closed room and still enjoy the great excitement of looking up at a deep blue sky.
32.What is a healthy work-life balance like according to the writer
A. It brings out the best of every employer.
B. It includes different kinds of work styles.
C. It encourages employees to work indoors.
D. It improves employees' health conditions.
33.What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The costly choices of most old offices.
B. The promising future of office workers.
C. The virtual solutions to improve productivity.
D. The work conditions in the offices today.
34.How does Mitsubishi Electric's LED skylight work
A. By letting actual sunlight pour in.
B. By lighting three sides of the frames.
C. By changing the previous LED light.
D. By showing pictures the deep blue sky.
35.Which of the following can best describe the effect of Mitsubishi Electric's LED skylight
A. Pleasant. B. Close. C. Dizzy. D. Colorful.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Oceans are an appealing target for renewable energy generation. Waves alone produce 32,000 terawatt-hours of natural energy per year-for reference, the entire world uses around 23,000 terawatt-hours every year.
The advantages of wave power are clear. 36 Turbines produce electricity through the power of waves, making them a completely pollution-free, renewable energy source. And the amount of kinetic energy(动能) in a wave is huge-that energy is used to produce electricity. There is also a lot of potential because many countries have access to an ocean that can help power their electric systems. Also, waves are hardly interrupted and almost always in movement. 37
But the disadvantages of wave energy are serious too. Building plants or electrical wires directly on the beach might prove challenging. 38 Local fishing zones could be affected or the plants could lead to more coastal erosion. High costs are a problem too. Wave power is a rising energy technology in the early stages of development, so calculating the costs is difficult. 39 Because constant movement can lead to more breaking, wave energy plants will most likely need regular and costly maintenance.
40 For many ocean-bordering countries, wave energy will be a great addition to the renewable energy mix. The bottom line is that wave power has enormous global potential. However, the industry needs more funding and research to finalise the technology involved so that countries can begin adding wave energy to their renewable energy source.
A. Wave energy still needs to be explored.
B. They are not affordable to many countries.
C. Despite the challenges, there is a future of wave energy.
D. Wave energy does not release greenhouse gasses when produced.
E. They can cause damage to sea life and the surrounding ecosystems.
F. Maintenance for these plants submerged in moving saltwater is very expensive.
G. This makes electricity generation from wave energy a more reliable energy source.

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。
Rafael is my parents' friend who owns a bakery with the yummiest(最美味的) treats imaginable. He happened to stop by when my friends Mareya and Daniel, my little sister Indi and I were drawing with chalk in front of my house. He said our drawings were cool, trying not to step on them as he walked toward the door to find my dad. We expressed our thanks and continued to draw.
A little while later, when he came back out with my dad, Rafael said he had been thinking about our wonderful drawings, and that he'd really love our help. He was going to sell cookies, and the profits would go to an organization that worked to save the rainforests. When asked if he wanted us to help taste the cookies, Rafael laughed and said, "Of course." But he said he also needed some artwork for the bags. He wondered if we would be up for making some sketches(草图) on paper that he could consider for the label.
We said yes right away. I mean, who wouldn't want to help the rainforests-and sample some of Rafael's delicious cookies Rafael had to leave for al meeting but promised to be back by four o'clock. "Don't worry about making the pictures perfect," he said as he left. "Just have fun drawing."
After we read a little bit about the rainforests, my mom helped get us set up with art supplies and background music. And away we drew! Finally, about five minutes before four o'clock, we decided to stop and look at one another's work. To our great surprise, Daniel made an incredible drawing. When asked why he never told us that he could draw like that, Daniel just smiled. He said he was glad we liked it and that he thought all of ours were really awesome too.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
I liked my drawing, but after comparing it with Daniel's masterpiece, I felt like the worst ever artist. ____________________________________________________________________________

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
I liked my drawing, but after comparing it with Daniel's masterpiece, I felt like the worst ever artist. I tried to tell myself that it was just for fun and that it didn't matter how good or bad my drawing was, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of disappointment. Just then, Rafael walked in and noticed my downcast expression. He asked if everything was alright and I told him how I felt. Rafael smiled and asked, "Do you want to know the secret of my yummy cookies " "What's the secret " I asked, expecting the answer. "It's the fun and joy in the baking process. You know, the most important thing about drawing, likewise, is not how perfect it looks, but how it makes you feel. Does your drawing make you happy If it does, then it's a masterpiece."
Paragraph 2:
When I looked closely at everyone's art, I could see what Rafael meant. Even though some of the drawings were not technically perfect, they all had a special quality that made them unique and beautiful in their own way. Mareya's and Indi's were bold and colorful, while mine was delicate and intricate. We all happily engaged in drawing and each drawing represented our own observation and imagination. I think Rafael's words really captured the essence of what art is all about. It's not about conforming to a certain set of rules or standards, but rather about expressing oneself in a way that brings joy and meaning to the drawer and those who view the work.

M: Space Camp, Florida, which is right next to NASA's famous Kennedy Space Centre, is a place where people can go to learn about space travel. Many activities are offered which provide visitors with the excitement of being in space. One of the many attractions is the "Gravity Chair", which lets you see exactly how difficult walking in space really is! There is also a project which gives you the opportunity to build your own rocket and see it take off! Camp programmes are designed for children and adults who want to experience an astronaut's life. The "Space Habitat" is a place where you can eat freeze-dried food and sleep in a special bed, just like a real astronaut! Regrettably though, children who are under nine years old are not allowed to take part in these programmes which last five days. The cost for adults is $875 and the kids $325 cheaper. There is a family ticket price of $1,500. It is a little expensive, but it is really worth it.
