In 1969, watching the landing of Apollo 11 on the Moon on TV from his parents’ farm in Canada, Chris Hadfield was amazed and excited. On that day, at only nine years old, Chris made the most important decision of his life: He was going to be an astronaut.
There wasn’t even a training program in Canada to become an astronaut; but Chris was determined. He spent a great deal of time studying and fixing engines. After school he joined the Canadian army where he learned to fly many different types of planes. Chris did a lot of research for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the United States and had special training. Finally, in 1995 he rode his first rocket into space.
Chris became the first Canadian astronaut to walk in spare, and went on a number of space missions throughout his career. The most memorable was his five-month stay on the International Space Station (ISS) as commander, between December 2012 and May 2013.He posted on social media thousands of photos of Earth and videos of himself explaining how things work in zero gravity. His followers could watch him sleeping, brushing his teeth, washing his hands, or preparing “space” snacks in zero gravity, which turned him into a social media phenomenon.
Today, Chris travels the world giving talks about his work. He once said, “Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you’d be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don’t let life randomly kick you into the adult you don’t want to become.”
4. What led Chris to make up his mind to be an astronaut
A. The life on his parents’ farm. B. His ability to fly various planes.
C. Apollo 11’s landing on the Moon. D. His passion for studying engines.
5. What made Chris popular in the media
A. The space tasks he conducted in his life.
B. The pictures and videos he posted online.
C. His inspiring talks about his work around the world.
D. His great contributions to Canada’s space industry.
6. What can we learn from Chris’ words in the last paragraph
A. Courage is what it takes to overcome difficulties.
B. Opportunities go hand in hand with challenges.
C. From small beginnings come treat endings.
D. The key to success lies in the firm aim.
7. Which of the following best describes Chris

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“He once said, “Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you’d be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don’t let life randomly kick you into the adult you don’t want to become.” (他曾经说过：“在你内心深处决定真正让你兴奋和得到挑战的是什么，然后开始朝着那个方向前进。你所做的每一个决定，从你吃什么到你今晚做什么，都会决定你明天的样子。看看你想成为什么样的人，然后开始把自己塑造成那个人。你可能不会得到你想要的，但你会在你信任的职业中做适合你的事情。不要让生活随意地把你踢成你不想成为的成年人。”)”可知，从Chris的话中，我们可以知道想要成功，一定要坚持自己的目标。故选D。

C
Many of us live with a roommate at some stage. Sometimes, there can be problems. Who hasn’t had an argument about whose turn it is to take out the rubbish or who should be the one to clear up after dinner However, living with another person also comes with many benefits.
You know that there’s always someone else around which can help you feel safer. There is always someone to talk to, so you never feel lonely. Besides these obvious benefits, there are some you may not notice. For example, we’re actually more likely to eat healthier food when living with others.
To examine the effect of living alone, Australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food, which can have a significant negative effect on long-term health. However, those living with others generally benefited from a more varied diet compared to those living alone.
What could explain these findings The researchers believe the social and cultural roles played by cooking, food preparation and eating may be important considerations. For example, those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with, and thus are likely to buy higher-quality fresh food regularly.
Cooking skills may be another factor. If people living alone find they do not have the knowledge required to prepare a particular dish or cook a certain food,they may fall back on ready-made, less healthy food. However, if they live with at least one other person, they may be able to ask for help.
In addition, people living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day or night. However, it’s helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3 am. In other words, roommates can draw your attention to unhealthy routines.
So,if you now live alone and find yourself fighting a losing battle against poor eating habits, why not consider sharing a home with someone else You could encourage one another on to greater health and well-being.
8 The author uses the first paragraph to ______.
A. introduce the topic of the text B. remind readers of their roommates
C. show the problems of living with others D. recall the experience of sharing a room
9. The second paragraph is mainly about _______.
A. The reasons for living with others B. the benefits of having a roommate
C. the way of dealing with a roommate D. the importance of communicating with others
10. The underlined phrase”fall back on” in Paragraph 5 means________.
A. hunt for B. cut down on
C. depend on D. give up
11. What is the main purpose of this text
A. To explain why roommate have arguments.
B. To tell readers every coin has two sides.
C. To encourage people to have a roommate.
D To persuade people to develop healthy eating habits.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的传统节日——重阳节的由来以及风俗。
【57题详解】

【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在中国民间传说中，数字9是最大的数字，与中文单词“久”谐音，意思是“健康和长寿”。这里为非限制性定语从句的关系词，先行词为“the Chinese word jiu”，关系词在定语从句中担当主语，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【59题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：2013年开始实施的《老年人权益保障法》明确规定，每年的重阳节是老年人的法定节日。这里为从句的谓语动词，根据时间状语“since 2013”可知，从句时态为现在完成时；主语为which，代指“The Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly”，单数，所以助动词用has。故填has been。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：登高是古时候祈福的习俗。这里为非谓语动词担当主语用动名词；出现在句首，首字母大写。故填Climbing。

【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，人们每年在节日期间采摘新鲜菊花制作菊花酒，古人认为这是一种清热解毒和延年益寿的吉祥酒。这里为非谓语动词担当目的状语，用动词不定式形式。故填to make。
【65题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：同上题。分析句子成分可知，空处为定语从句的谓语部分，动词regard和主语which是被动关系，根据可知应使用过去式，因此，此处是一般过去时的被动语态，可数名词复数形式作宾语，主语which代指前面的chrysanthemum wine，谓语动词应使用单数形式，故填was regarded。
【66题详解】
考查介词。句意：由于周围的社会关怀，重阳节越来越受欢迎，越来越多的老年人开始更多地关注他们的晚年。分析句子成分可知，空处缺少介词to和前面的Thanks构成固定短语“多亏了，由于”，符合句意。故填to。
八、单句填空。请根据首写字母及括号内中文提示填入正确的单词形式。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）

There wasn’t even a training program in Canada to become an astronaut; but Chris was determined. He spent a great deal of time studying and fixing engines. After school he joined the Canadian army where he learned to fly many different types of planes. Chris did a lot of research for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the United States and had special training. Finally, in 1995 he rode his first rocket into space.
Chris became the first Canadian astronaut to walk in spare, and went on a number of space missions throughout his career. The most memorable was his five-month stay on the International Space Station (ISS) as commander, between December 2012 and May 2013.He posted on social media thousands of photos of Earth and videos of himself explaining how things work in zero gravity. His followers could watch him sleeping, brushing his teeth, washing his hands, or preparing “space” snacks in zero gravity, which turned him into a social media phenomenon.
Today, Chris travels the world giving talks about his work. He once said, “Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you’d be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don’t let life randomly kick you into the adult you don’t want to become.”

Many of us live with a roommate at some stage. Sometimes, there can be problems. Who hasn’t had an argument about whose turn it is to take out the rubbish or who should be the one to clear up after dinner However, living with another person also comes with many benefits.
You know that there’s always someone else around, which can help you feel safer. There is always someone to talk to, so you never feel lonely. Besides these obvious benefits, there are some you may not notice. For example, we’re actually more likely to eat healthier food when living with others.
To examine the effect of living alone, Australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food, which can have a significant negative effect on long-term health. However, those living with others generally benefited from a more varied diet compared to those living alone.
What could explain these findings The researchers believe the social and cultural roles played by cooking, food preparation and eating may be important considerations. For example, those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with, and thus are likely to buy higher-quality fresh food regularly.
Cooking skills may be another factor. If people living alone find they do not have the knowledge required to prepare a particular dish or cook a certain food,they may fall back on ready-made, less healthy food. However, if they live with at least one other person, they may be able to ask for help.
In addition people living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day or night. However, it’s helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3 am. In other words, roommates can draw your attention to unhealthy routines.
So,if you now live alone and find yourself fighting a losing battle against poor eating habits, why not consider sharing a home with someone else You could encourage one another on to greater health and well-being.
