Nashville-based helicopter pilot Joel Boyers had just finished his job on Saturday morning and was heading home when he received a call for help from a woman in Pennsylvania. Her brother Johnson’s home in Waverly, Tennessee, was underwater and he was trapped on a roof with his daughters. Could Boyers help “I thought how I would feel if I told her I was not even going to try ” he said in a Thursday interview. “She just so happened to call the right person, because I’m the only person crazy enough to even try to do that.”
The weather was terrible and Boyers had to deal with hills and power lines on the way to Waverly, a small city about 60 miles west of Nashville. Just before reaching the town, he found the Internet was down, making it impossible to locate the house he was looking for. He flew on anyway.
“When I arrived, it was nothing but raging water below me,” he said. A few people were out in boats, rescuing the trapped. Boyers was alone in the sky. He started flying up and down the flooded area, grabbing
anyone he could.
Boyers said he ended up rescuing 17 people that day. He was proud of that, but said he was the one who should be thanking them. “I literally prayed just days before this that I would be given some meaning in my life, and then I end up getting this call,” he said. He had flown over disasters before including floods, but “The police are usually there, and my hands are tied. This time there isn’t any,” he said.
To perform the rescues, Boyers had to carefully avoid power lines, balance his skids (打滑) on sloped rooftops, and fly over flood waters. It took all the skills learned over 16 years of flying, including for a television news station, for documentaries and for country music stars. “I don’t want to lie,” he said. “It was almost a little fun for me.”
24．Why did Boyers fly to Waverly？
A．Because he had to do his routine tasks.
B．Because his brother was caught in the flood.
C．Because he was going to have an interview.
D．Because he received an emergency call.
25．What was the biggest obstacle to finding Johnson’s house？
A．A long distance. B．The Internet failure.
C．High mountains. D．Fallen power lines.
26．Which of the following best describes Boyers？
A．Caring and courageous. B．Ambitious and demanding.
C．Modest and creative. D．Humorous and cooperative.
27．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？
A．Surviving a Crisis B．Performing a Task
C．Braving a Flood D．Testing Flight Skills

Japan said Tuesday that it would start pouring treated radioactive water(放射性废水) from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean within two years. Officials in Tokyo said the water would be filtered and diluted(稀释) to safe levels first, but most residents remain firmly opposed to the plan. Protesters gathered outside Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s residence in downtown Tokyo to criticize the government’s decision.
More than a million tons of radioactive water is currently being stored at the Fukushima power plant in a massive tank farm big enough to fill 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The wastewater comes from water pumped in to cool the plant’s damaged reactors(反应堆). The government says it has simply run out of room to
store all the water. The plan to dump the water into the ocean first came to light in the autumn of last year, when Japanese news reported anonymous officials said the decision had been taken.
On Tuesday, Suga said that after years of study, his scientific advisors had concluded that ocean discharge was the most possible way to cope with the wastewater. But the decision to pour Fukushima wastewater into the ocean has drawn fire from neighboring Asian countries and local fishermen along Japan’s coast.
China called the decision “extremely irresponsible,” and South Korea summoned(召唤) the Japanese ambassador in Seoul over the matter. “They told us that they wouldn’t release the water into the sea without the support of fishermen,” Kanji Tachiya, who leads a local cooperative of fisheries in Fukushima, told national broadcaster NHK ahead of the announcement on Tuesday. “We can’t support this move to break that promise and release the water into the sea unilaterally(单方面地).”
The actual release of water from the Fukushima plant will take decades to complete. Critics have called on Japan’s government to at least ensure that independent monitoring is in place to check the level of radiation in the poured water is safe for the environment.
28．How do most of the local people react to the plan
A．Indifferent. B．Uncertain. C．Supportive. D．Disapproval.
29．Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．The wastewater is being stored in 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
B．It was last year that the plan was exposed to the public.
C．Ocean discharge is the only way the deal with the wastewater.
D．The plan has aroused anger in all the Asian countries.
30．What does Kanji Tachiya probably agree with
A．The plan is to pull the whole world into the disaster.
B．It’s imperative that the plan should be carried out immediately.
C．It’s safe and easy to pour the wastewater into the ocean.
D．It’s unacceptable to pour the water into the ocean without fishermen’ permission.
31．The passage is most probably taken from a _______.
A．geography textbook. B．personal diary
C．news report D．fiction book
D
A hybrid electric vehicle (混合动力车) or HEV is a vehicle driven by the combination of petrol engine and electric motor. Terrence has been driving a HEV for five years. He really doesn’t understand why more people
aren’t accepting them. “I probably spend about $ 7 a day on petrol,” the taxi driver told . au. In his previous conventional vehicle Terrence said he was spending up to $ 30 a day on petrol, meaning he saves almost $ 6000 every year.
The Toyota spokesman said this was quite a high saving and official tests estimate (估计) an average driver would only save about 33 percent off their current bill. This means a driver paying $ 30 a day on petrol would see their bill drop to about $ 20 using the hybrid. “A taxi driver that drives in built-up areas and spends little time on highways will notice a higher fuel saving,” he said. “Low speeds allow the electric motors to be used more and the petrol engine used less.”
While some people are skeptical about how reliable hybrids are, Terrence said he had never run out of power. His Camry cost about $ 34,000 and so after five years, it’s nearly paid for itself. “For cab drivers, it’s a real advantage because of the cost-effectiveness,” he said. Terrence has no complaints about the car. “I love it, the calm and quietness of it, the simplicity of it—you just jump in and go. The maintenance（保养）is really low. But the only difficulty is finding someone to service the car as there are not many experienced mechanics（机修工）.”
Terrence said it’s “extraordinary” that more drivers aren’t buying more hybrid electric vehicles and that governments are not encouraging this more. “I think people have a view that you have to plug it in, which is not true. A lack of information about the cars may be stopping people from taking the plunge. It’s not promoted at all for the public to understand—it’s simplifying the actual owning of a car—you don’t have to do so many things to own it and run it, it’s just so much simpler. Why wouldn’t the government promote such a thing ”
32．How much does an average driver save each day by driving a hybrid, according to the Toyota spokesman
A．$ 30 B．$ 20
C．$ 10 D．$ 7
33．Terrence’s problem with his HEV at the moment is about the ________.
A．speed B．power
C．price D．service
34．When saying “extraordinary”, Terrence thinks it is ________.
A．understandable B．wonderful
C．doubtful D．unbelievable
35．What does Terrence think prevent the popularity of hybrid cars
A．The difficulty in servicing the car.
B．The restriction of the government.
C．The lack of information about HEV.
D．The inconvenience with charging the car.

Everyone is faced with problems at some point or the other. 36 The problems, however, become different when past strategies do not work and there is no obvious solution. This can cause anxiety and stress. However, all you need to do is remain calm and use a new, different method. Here are some easy ways to solve problems.
Acknowledge that there is a problem. Many people refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem. They continue thinking everything will disappear on its own, so they fail to seek timely help. This does not help the situation in any way. 37
Keep a journal. Keeping a daily journal is the best way to solve deeper problems that may be affecting your peace of mind. 38 Sometimes, just by writing down issues, you might get to see that a problem isn’t as big as you are thinking.
39 Often, to solve a problem, you need to test your limits. You may have to take on certain challenges including learning something new to improve yourself. If you continue thinking of the problem as a threat and view yourself as a failure or a weak person, you will not be able to deal with the problem. Nevertheless, if you can see some benefits coming out of the problem, you will be in a better position to accept the challenge and learn something new.
Seek help. 40 If you are still unable to solve the issue despite giving it much thought and attention, seek help from friends, colleagues, family or even professionals.
A．Challenge yourself.
B．Set achievable goals.
C．Instead, it can make the problem bigger than before.
D．So write down all the problems you are facing right now.
E．Sometimes, certain problems can’t be solved on your own.
F．So try to come up with at least 10 different solutions to a problem.
G．Many problems can be solved by using methods we might have used before.

67．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、
I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and brilliant response whether in class debates or casual arguments. Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate series, I was naturally extremely confident of myself.
All the members in my team were good speakers. We had an experienced teacher who trained us well. But I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated in, all the judges selected me as the best one. This meant that my confidence was the highest by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had every reason to believe that I would be voted the best speaker for the debate series.
I began to be self-important about the whole business and started behaving that way with my team-mates. I would laugh at Eton’s poor debating style. I would complain of Vivian’s slow response. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be disappointed by their bad performance.
As the finals drew near, I became more and more dissatisfied with my team. I began missing practices. My teacher was worried. My teammates were panicked. However, they had no choice but to rely on me to win the finals. Even if they would love to remove me from the team they could not because there was no replacement good enough.
The day of the finals finally came. I was very excited that I was able to finally show off my debating skills. Everyone was expecting my performance.They knew that I was praised to be the one most likely to win the best speaker for the debate series.

1．续写词数应为150左右；

【原文】
The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was watching TV news. I could see that the situation was bad, and they showed a map where the forest fires were burning. Outside in the garden I couldn’t see the morning sun, as the sky was full of smoke. I decided to leave right away. My son was staying in town and my wife was abroad so it was up to me to decide what to do and where to go. I packed a suitcase of clothes and another case of useful things, such as my bankbook and all the money I had. Out in the garden the sky was getting blacker and the wind which had been blowing hard for a whole night was getting stronger. I got into my car and drove down the road. The smoke was really thick and at times it was difficult to see the road clearly. Animals were running across the road, trying to escape the fire. I silently prayed that the fire would be put out as soon as possible.

Her brother Johnson’s home in Waverly, Tennessee, was underwater and he was trapped on a roof with his daughters.(总部位于纳什维尔的直升机飞行员乔尔·博尔斯周六早上刚完成工作，正在回家时，接到了宾夕法尼亚州一名妇女的求助电话。她的哥哥约翰逊在田纳西州韦弗利的家被淹了，他和女儿们被困在屋顶上)”可知，Joel Boyers接到一位陌生人的求救电话才飞去Waverly的。故选D。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Just before reaching the town, he found the Internet was down, making it impossible to locate the house he was looking for.(就在到达小镇之前，他发现互联网已经坏了，无法找到他要找的房子)”可知，找到约翰逊房子的最大的障碍是上不了网。故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段的“He started flying up and down the flooded area, grabbing anyone he could. (他开始在洪水地区飞来飞去，营救任何能抓住的人)”和最后一段的“To perform the rescues, Boyers had to carefully avoid power lines, balance his skids on sloped rooftops, and fly over flood waters.(为了进行救援，Boyers必须小心地避开电线，在倾斜的屋顶上保持滑行平衡，飞过洪水)”以及全文可知Joel Boyers不畏艰险在洪水中奋力挽救受灾群众，由此可以推断他既乐于助人又十分英勇。故选A。
27．主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“To perform the rescues, Boyers had to carefully avoid power lines, balance his skids on sloped rooftops,and fly over flood waters.(为了进行救援，博耶斯必须小心地避开电线，在倾斜的屋顶上保持滑行平衡，飞过洪水)”以及全文可知Joel Boyers勇敢面对洪水，奋力救人，从而得出C项“勇敢面对洪水”为最佳标题。故选C。
28．D 29．B 30．D 31．C
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了“日本要将福岛核电站的经过处理的放射性水倒入太平洋”事件，尽管官方声称首先要对水进行过滤和稀释，使其达到安全水平，但大多数居民仍然坚决反对这一计划。同时，将福岛污水排入海洋的决定引起了亚洲邻国和日本沿海当地渔民的强烈不满。
28．推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“…but most residents remain firmly opposed to the plan. (但大多数居民仍然坚决反对该计划。)”可推知，当地居民对此计划持反对态度。故选D项。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第二段末尾内容“The plan to dump the water into the ocean first came to light in the autumn of last year, when Japanese news reported anonymous officials said the decision had been taken.(将水倒入海洋的计划在去年秋天首次曝光，当时日本新闻报道称，匿名官员称已经做出了这个决定。)”可知，该计划于去年秋天公之于众。选项B“It was last year that the plan was exposed to the public.(这个计划是去年公布的。)”为符合原文的正确论述。故选B项。
30．推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容Kanji Tachiya的话“‘They told us that they wouldn’t release the water into the sea without the support of fishermen,’ Kanji Tachiya, who leads a local cooperative of fisheries in Fukushima, told national broadcaster NHK ahead of the announcement on Tuesday. ‘We can’t support this move to break that promise and release the water into the sea unilaterally.’(“他们告诉我们，如果没有渔民的支持，他们不会把水放入海里，”福岛当地一家渔业合作社的负责人立屋Kanji Tachiya在周二宣布这一消息前告诉日本国家广播公司NHK。“我们不能支持这种违背承诺、单方面把水放入海中的行为。”)”可知，Kanji Tachiya不支持“未经渔民许可将水倒进海里”的这种行为。由此可推知，他应会认同D项观点“It’s unacceptable to pour the water into the ocean without fishermen’ permission.(未经渔民许可将水倒进海里是不可接受的。)”。故选D项。
31．推理判断题。通过阅读文章可知，文章首段内容“Japan said Tuesday that it would start pouring treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean within two years. Officials in Tokyo said the water would be filtered and diluted to safe levels first, but most residents remain firmly opposed to the plan. Protesters gathered outside Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s residence in downtown Tokyo to criticize the government’s decision.(日本周二说，将在两年内开始将福岛核电站的经过处理的放射性水倒入太平洋。东京的官员说，首先要对水进行过滤和稀释，使其达到安全水平，但大多数居民仍然坚决反对这一计划。抗议者聚集在日本首相Yoshihide Suga位于东京市中心的官邸外，批评政府的决定。)”交待了文章的主要内容，且主题为“日本要将福岛核电站的经过处理的放射性水倒入太平洋”事件，具有时效性特点，可视为新闻报道中的“导语”部分。由此可推知，该文章应是来自于新闻报道。故选C项。
32．C 33．D 34．D 35．C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍混合动力汽车(HEV)。它是一种由汽油发动机和电动机结合驱动的
汽车。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段中This means a driver paying $ 30 a day on petrol would see their bill drop to about $ 20 using the hybrid.可知，这意味着，使用混合动力汽车的司机，如果每天花30美元加汽油，他们的账单就会降至20美元左右。所以丰田发言人说，一名普通司机每天驾驶混合动力车能节省 $ 10（$ 30 -$ 20）。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句But the only difficulty is finding someone to service the car as there are not many experienced mechanics（机修工）.可知，但唯一的困难是找个人来维修汽车，因为没有多少有经验的机械师。所以Terrence目前的HEV问题在于服务。故选D。
34．词义猜测题。根据最后一段中Terrence said it’s “extraordinary” that more drivers aren’t buying more hybrid electric vehicles and that governments are not encouraging this more. Terrence说，越来越多的司机没有购买更多混合动力电动汽车，政府也没有更多地鼓励这种做法，这是“非同寻常”的。由此推知划线词的意思是“不可思议的”，故选D。
35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中A lack of information about the cars may be stopping people from taking the plunge.可知，特伦斯认为关于HEV的信息缺乏阻碍了混合动力汽车的推行。故选C。
【点睛】做词义猜测题时，切不可脱离语境想当然。在句子或段落中，我们可以利用熟悉的词语，根据语言环境所表示的关系推断生词词义。尤其注意划线词前后的内容。本题第3小题，根据最后一段中Terrence said it’s “extraordinary” that more drivers aren’t buying more hybrid electric vehicles and that governments are not encouraging this more. Terrence说，越来越多的司机没有购买更多混合动力电动汽车，政府也没有更多地鼓励这种做法，这是“非同寻常”的。由此推知划线词的意思是“不可思议的”，故选D。

66．Dear fellows,
I am happy to share with you my favorite sport. Among the “big family” of sports, I have a preference for basketball.
Basketball is a team sport that requires cooperation, skills, and endurance, which is a great way to stay
physically active and socialize. I love the sense of accomplishment I feel when I hit a game — winning shot or contribute to my team’s victory. Furthermore, it is also a sport that can be played by people of all ages and abilities.
Personally, not only does the sport help me build up my body, but also it helps develop a sense of team spirit that I value in all aspects of my life. Life lies in movement. Let’s do it!
Thank you!

67．Paragraph1:
But the reality was not something that I had ever imagined. Due to lack of training, I failed to get the key point of my speech, for which I wasn’t well prepared. I didn’t know what to say and my mind just went blank. I was so nervous that I just stood there. I felt all the people present were looking at me with strange eyes. I was very embarrassed and shed big big sweat.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, a comforting hand from behind held mine. It came from one of my teammates. He whispered to
me, “Don’t be nervous and don’t be afraid. All of us are here to support you and cheer you up. I’m here to help you.” At this time, I realized the mistakes I had made before. I shouldn’t be too confident in myself. I should have humbly trained more with my teammates. At the moment, I was forgiven by my teammates. I pulled myself together, quickly straightened out my ideas and finished my speech. I saw all my teammates applaud for me and I was moved to tears.
