As a navigation (航海) major, Song Yin should have sailed a boat. But a campus career fair changed her career trajectory (轨迹), and she became one of China’s first two female rescue helicopter pilots.
When she was in third year at Shanghai Maritime University, the Donghai No.1 flying rescue service came looking for female pilots. Song was the hot favorite for career fair. Tall, thin, good-looking, she was a big shot on campus. Also, she is good at sports, especially basketball that requires a considerable level of coordination (协调性) — an important quality for pilots.
She was admitted as a female rescue helicopter pilot. “At first, I thought it was cool and fun.” She said. However, when the job really got started, the reality was totally different from her imagination.
Rescue operations always come with danger. One of her most dangerous missions took place in December 2016 when a boat was involved in flames in the East China Sea, leaving 10 fishermen at death’s door. Song rushed to fly the helicopter to the scene. She was informed that the gas cylinders (气瓶) on the boat could blow up at any time. Without panic, she managed to hover at higher altitude to keep away from the dense smoke. Fortunately, not one of rescuers was injured, and all of the 10 fishermen were rescued from the burning boat. “We are not just saving 10 people but also 10 families,” she said.
Like any other sports fan, she enjoys watching the Tokyo Olympics when she isn’t busy. “My idol is Chinese striker Wang Shuang. She’s so great.” she said. “When the Chinese team was many goals behind the Dutch team, she still didn’t give up, and she encouraged her teammates to fight till the end.” She added, “If you give up, you must lose. But if you push on, you won’t necessarily lose. It’s just the same as my job.”
4．What is the main factor of her being admitted as a female pilot
A．She graduated from a top university.
B．She has a high level of coordination.
C．She has a well-built figure.
D．She is very popular on campus.
5．Which of the following best describes Song Yin from Paragraph 4
A．Optimistic and humorous. B．Caring and patient.
C．Sensitive and ambitious. D．Brave and calm.
6．Why does Song Yin mention Wang Shuang in the last paragraph
A．To appeal to young people to join in sports.
B．To compare two similar challenging jobs.
C．To motivate people to be persistent.
D．To expect people to learn from failure.
Yellowstone National Park is a territory of extraordinary natural beauty that can bless the spirit like no other. There are numerous remarkable places in Yellowstone that seem designed for travelers to simply sit back and admire. Unfold your picnic chair at Pet Creek and let the sound of its rushing waters bless your mind and soul. The park’s north, where dense trees stretch out into rolling meadows in Lamar Valley, is a sight to behold. The lush fields are watched by babbling brooks and framed by a backdrop of snow-capped peaks. It’s a splendid display of nature’s grandeur (壮丽).
Bringing binoculars allows you to catch a closer glimpse of the rare wild bison and other native animals. When evening sets in, you can set up your tent at one of the many campsites or head out of the park’s north entrance to Garner. This gateway town is the perfect haven for weary travelers. Warm yourself with a hearty meal at one of the many superb eateries (饭馆) before continuing your epic adventure in Yellowstone.
In Yellowstone, every step in any direction is like a journey to another world. It is a place where one can wander freely and experience the diverse beauty of nature. The enormous landscapes, the visible wonders, and the rewarding experiences all appeal to those with an appetite for adventure. Whether it’s the rushing fountain — like waters, the charming cottages scattered around, or the majestic mountains, Yellowstone offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Prohibiting activities that harm the environment ensures that this natural paradise remains intact for generations to come.
7．The word “bless” in the first sentence most likely means ________.
A．curse B．benefit C．confuse D．ignore

9．What can be inferred from the passage about Yellowstone National Park

Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.
11 In a bus you may look at a stranger but not far too long. And if he sensed that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. 12 Eyes do speak, right
Looking too long at someone may seem to be side and aggressive 13 If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention, and let her know that he is admiring her.
However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. 14 If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. 15 Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationship and situation.
A．On the contrary, it will give him away.
B．Do you have such a kind of experience
C．That’s what normal eye contact is all about.
D．Actually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.
E．After all, everybody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.
F．But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.
G．If nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way.

七、书面表达
57．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。
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sichuan Province is located in southwestern part of China. It enjoys many world-famous places of interest, among which Jiuzhaigou National Park is my favorite.
Jiuzhaigou National Park is a nature reserve in the north of Sichuan Province. What is widely considered the most impressive attraction is its many multi-level waterfalls. Besides, walking in the nature reserve, you have a lot of opportunities to see such rare animals as giant pandas and golden monkeys. There are also many species of rare plants there. I’m sure visitors will be amazed by the beautiful scenery in the park
57．范文：
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs. Brown. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.”
The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make a difference to the boy.
