Using 1900 as a starting point, here's a look at some of the most powerful and destructive hurricanes in the last 120 years in the US.
Most powerful hurricanes
Hurricane Camille, which landed on August 17, 1969 near Waveland, Mississippi, is the most powerful storm to strike the Gulf Coast. Camille is one of the four category (级别)－5 hurricanes ever to make a landing in the US, the others being the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and Hurricane Michael in 2018.
According to the National Weather Service, the actual wind speed of Hurricane Camille might be around 175 mph along the coast.
Until the arrival of Hurricane Katrina, Camille's more than 24 foot storm wave in Pass Christian, Mississippi, held the record. Katrina's storm wave along the Mississippi coast reached 30 feet.
Costliest hurricanes
Hurricane Katrina is not only the costliest ever US hurricane but also the most expensive natural disaster in the country's history. Not only did it cost as many as 1, 836 lives and leave millions of people homeless, but it also caused $160 billion in damages.
Katrina landed near the Gulf Coast on August 29，2005 as a category 3 storm. The hurricane's record breaking waves flooded 80% of the city.
Deadliest hurricanes
The category 4 Hurricane Galveston made a surprising landing along the Texas coast on September 8, 1900. It caused a 16 foot storm wave and its wind speed reached 150 mph.
A large part of the city of Galveston, Texas, was left in ruins. The number of death reached 12，000 on Galveston Island and the mainland. It remains the deadliest weather disaster in the US history as it gave the people no time to move out.
21．How many category 5 storms have stricken the US since 1900
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
22．Which is the costliest hurricane in the US
A．Hurricane Camille. B．Hurricane Andrew.
C．Hurricane Katrina. D．Labor Day Hurricane.
23．Why has Hurricane Galveston become the deadliest weather disaster in the US
A．It has caused the biggest waves. B．It has had the highest wind speed.
C．It has caught the people by surprise. D．It has brought in the heaviest rainfall.
B
One day, a few years ago, I was rushing from the pool when a man stopped me and said, “You must come to swim with the team.” I was in my early 50s—too old for a swim team, I thought. But the coach—Igor was his name—insisted: “I can see you are a good swimmer.”
Encouraged, I joined his group of swimmers. Workouts started at 5：30 in the morning when most people were still in bed. Although we were all at different swimming levels, we had one thing in common: We wanted to get better.
After a few days, a bunch of us were complaining about how little progress we were making, how slow we were. Igor smiled and said, “You are all confused! Speed is not the goal; it is the result of perfectly beautiful technique.” What really mattered to Igor was the technique. Once you mastered that, he argued, speed would follow naturally. Speed was simply the welcome side effect of swimming well.
I've been thinking lately that there's a lesson here that goes beyond the pool. We all wanted to swim faster and the more hysterically (歇斯底里般地) we tried, the more speed escaped us. The same goes for happiness. Everyone wants to be happy, yet the more directly we go after happiness, the more elusive (难以捕捉的) it becomes.
Research shows that thinking too much about how to be happy actually weakens well being. This is in part because all that thinking consumes a fair amount of time, and is not itself enjoyable. Study after study shows that good social relationships are the strongest, most consistent predictor of a happy life.
Our technique has improved, thanks to Igor. Some days, I swim only a little faster than I did before. But even if I don't, I feel great.
In the end, happiness is a side effect of living well—just like speed can be the result of excellent swimming technique. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the pool.
24．How did the author react when Igor invited him to join the team
A．He hesitated at first. B．He refused firmly.
C．He accepted it at once. D．He consulted his coach.
25．Why did some teammates feel unhappy after a few days
A．They learned nothing new. B．They were unable to swim faster.
C．They got up too early in the morning. D．They were at different swimming levels.
26．What happens when the author focuses on swimming
A．He becomes the best on the team. B．His social relationships have improved.
C．He makes progress and enjoys himself. D．His swimming speed has increased greatly.
27．What can we know about happiness
A．Happiness comes to those trying hard to achieve it.
B．Happiness is a side effect of a personal hobby.
C．Happiness is a natural result of living well.
D．Happiness arises from a healthy body.

Now Sea World on the Gold Coast is the only dolphin park in Australia to continue keeping dolphins in captivity. This wouldn't have been possible without thousands of warm hearted supporters being a voice for dolphins protection over many years.
In August last year, Ben Pearson, our head of campaigns in Australia and New Zealand, appeared before the NSW upper house inquiry into the use wild animals for entertainment to put forward our case for ban on captive Dolphin breeding in the state. “If a dolphin were bred today, it may still be alive in 2070. This regulation frees future dolphins from being kept in lockdown at a time when the public acceptability of keeping dolphins in captivity for entertainment is declining. As the tide turns against using marine mammals in captivity for entertainment, conversation about what will happen to the dolphins at Sea World needs to start now. First step is a ban on further breeding，” Ben Pearson said.
Major travel brands including Tripadvisor and have already committed to stop selling tickets to dolphin shows and encounters. As well as these great changes for dolphins from the travel industry, Canada recently passed a ban on keeping dolphins and whales for entertainment. This is part of a global movement towards better treatment of these wild animals, which includes the nations of Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, India, Luxembourg, Norway, Switzerland, and the UK.
Dolphins are magnificent, intelligent animals. They belong in the wild and should not be bred in captivity for entertainment. In their natural environment, dolphins swim freely in 100 square kilometres of ocean, sometimes more, but the average dolphin in captivity has a fraction of that space. Together, we can make this the last generation of dolphins in captivity.
28．What makes Sea World on the Gold Coast the only dolphin park
A．Dolphins take too long a time to feed.
B．People's awareness of protecting dolphins.
C．Sea World on the Gold Coast has enough money.
D．Dolphins in Sea World on the Gold Coast like people's voice.
29．What does the underlined word “tide” mean in the second paragraph
A．Wave. B．Support. C．Opinion. D．Doubt.
30．What is most likely the result of the measures of the travel industry
A．More parks for dolphins will be built. B．More dolphins will be kept in parks.
C．Wild animals will live a better life. D．More countries will feed wild animals.
31．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Make Dolphins Live Freely B．Protect Sea World on the Gold Coast
C．Change the Ways of Entertainment D．Prevent People from Feeding Animals
D
Summer floods are an annual occurrence for many cities across China. According to the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, in 2012, urban flooding affected 184 cities, while in 2013 the number was 234, and last year it was 125, it said. Now, new measures are being introduced to reduce loss of life and the economic damage caused by flooding.
One of the most effective measures to increase the efficiency of storm drains in cities would be to reduce the storm water runoff and raise the levels of water filtration (过滤) and conservation in urban areas, experts said. To solve the problem of urban flooding once and for all, the central government has decided to push forward the “Sponge City” program, which in part borrows the experiences of low impact development from the United States and Canada in recent years.
The program will allow at least 60 percent of rainwater to soak into the ground, rather than being discharged into rivers. The level of filtration could be further raised in some areas with low levels of rainfall to increase the use of rainwater. The project includes the development of residential communities with storage ponds, filtration pools and wetlands, plus roads and squares built with materials that will allow storm water to soak into the ground more effectively, according to the guideline.
“It would require a major shift in ideas about urban construction. Rainwater should be regarded as a resource, rather than a burden to be dealt with. Concepts of urban construction should shift from the destruction of the ecosystem to its renewal，” Chen Zhenggao, Minister of Housing and Urban rural Development, told a work conference in May. “If the urban runoff cannot be effectively filtered into the ground, the floods that follow will cause the direct loss of life and property，” he said. He also believes low impact development represents the future of the country's urbanization drive. “It (the dealing with storm water) is an issue of public security. Thus it should be a compulsory requirement when new urban areas are being planned and built，” he said.
32．What's the purpose of building a “Sponge City”？
A．To reduce the storm water runoff in urban areas.
B．To raise the levels of water filtration and conservation.
C．To address the problem of urban flooding permanently.
D．To achieve low impact development with borrowed experiences.
33．What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A．At most 60% of rainwater is to soak into the ground.
B．The level of filtration could be increased in areas with more rainfall.
C．Residential communities should be replaced by ponds, pools and wetlands.
D．Roads should be built with materials allowing water to soak into the ground.
34．What can we infer from Chen Zhenggao's remarks
A．Floods take place because of the shift of the ecosystem.
B．Floods will not happen when urban runoff is filtered into rivers.
C．New urban construction concept means replacement of the ecosystem.
D．Low impact urban development is a must to solve the issue of public security.
35．What is the passage mainly about
A．Summer floods have always been an issue for cities.
B．“Sponge City” program is set to soak up urban floodwater.
C．Rainwater should be regarded as a resource rather than a burden.
D．Low impact development can change the situation of urban ecosystem.

__38__ In 2004, northern and western Africa experienced the largest locusts plague in more than 15 years. It cost 400 million dollars to fight against it and the harvest losses were worth almost 2.5 billion dollars. Late March 2013, nearly 50 percent of Madagascar was affected by locusts.
__39__
At present, the basic method of controlling locusts is with insecticides (杀虫剂) sprayed from the ground or the air. There are also biological pest control measures. __40__ The biggest enemies are birds. Frogs, spiders, and mantises are natural enemies too. The method has proved effective and at a low cost.
A．Are locusts of no use at all

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Having just graduated from high school, I was 18 and living with my parents in Denver, Colorado. That summer I decided to take my most daring trip ever. I wanted to go to Utah to visit a dear friend I'd known for four years. My father had given me a small street motorcycle as a graduation present, and I worked out a plan to ride it to Utah.
I was to get an early start, ride all day, and arrive at my destination (Paradise, Utah) that evening. Arriving in Ogden, Utah in the late afternoon, I looked at my map for another route to save time. A small line on the map indicated an unimproved road heading northeast straight to the little town of Paradise!
Of course I headed for it. The road quickly became single, dirty lane, winding through fields. As long as it was dry, surely I'd be OK. Suddenly, I lost control of the motorcycle and it fell over. I didn't get hurt because wasn't going fast, but I was puzzled and couldn't figure out what had happened.
It was dark. While my headlight showed me where the road was, I couldn't tell its condition, only that it was smooth. I started again, and once more fell over after a few feet. I looked around and found myself alone in a high mountain field. For the first time during the trip I started to get worried. A few minutes later I couldn't believe what I saw－a pair of headlights bouncing along the road toward me, coming from the direction I was heading for!
The man driving the small truck stopped and asked if I needed any help. Not the type to bother others with my problems, I said I thought I could get where I was going on my own, but thanked him for the offer.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
[2022·广东佛山南海一中第一学期考试] Thirteen year old Kaylee has a lot of friends—532, actually, if you count up her online friends.And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee's online friendships could be making her lonely That's what some experts believe.Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say.However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.

Ⅲ.读后续写
In 1945, a 12 year old boy saw a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price—five dollars—was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family.
Reuben couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue that held it together. The housework was never ending, and she was struggling to support their five children but she was happy as her family and their well being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop's weathered (饱经风霜的) door and went inside. Standing proud and straight in his flour sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don't have the money right now. Can you please hold it for some time？”
“I'll try，” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don't usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.”
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out.
He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own buildings in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used nail bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.
That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin. Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. Cold and hungry, Reuben wandered the streets, searching for the nail bags carefully. To save more money, he even decided to deliver papers in the early morning. Exhausted and tired as he felt, he still insisted on. It was the brooch in the shop window that reminded him that what he did was worthwhile. After a long time of hard work, he made it eventually.

Ⅲ.读后续写
One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more way for her to solve my strange problem—inability to read (阅读障碍).
In the library, I found my way into the “Children's Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a dog. I had recently had a dog, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but later he was given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forget my dog.
There on the book's cover was a dog which looked the same with my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Dog with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion. When I finished my reading, a stream of tears ran down my checks. It was until then I realized that I have overcome my inability to read. Thus, this was the very first book for me which I had read through and deeply immersed in real sense.
My mother's call returned me to the real world and I suddenly realized something. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them. From then on, I kept going to the library more often. In the library, I was exposed to different types of books: detective stories, love stories, poems, fables and so on. My mother encouraged me to spend time doing my favourite thing. Day by day, I finally succeeded in overcoming my inability of read. Moreover, I began to write some stories by myself. When I went to university, I chose literature as my major.
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为60左右；
2．续写部分为一段，开头语已为你写好。
Last year, my mother was so proud that her son was rewarded a PhD (博士学位) in literature.

The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A．D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome's Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50，000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city's Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250，000 people.
These days, safety regulations—not to mention the modern sports fan's desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities (容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D．P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150，000. Opened: May 1，1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U．S. Capacity: 107，601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U．S. Capacity: 106，572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U．S. Capacity: 104，944. Opened: October 7, 1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U．S. Capacity: 102，512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
21．How many people could the Circus Maximus hold
A．104, 944. B．107, 601. C．About 150，000. D．About 250，000.
22．Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest
A．Michigan Stadium. B．Beaver Stadium.
C．Ohio Stadium. D．Kyle Field.
23．What do the listed stadiums have in common
A．They host big games. B．They have become tourist attractions.
C．They were built by Americans. D．They are favored by architects.

Football is my favorite sport. I loved to watch it, but I had never played in a football game before I went to college. I lacked self confidence and I doubted if I could do well in a team, which was why I hardly did sports together with others. I just loved practicing playing football in the backyard of my house.
About one month after I went to college, one day some of my classmates said they'd play a football game with some players of another class. I really looked forward to it but never thought I'd join them to play. That day finally came and I went to watch with my classmates. However, just about ten minutes after the game started, one member of our football team got injured and could no longer play. The other members looked worried. Then one of them came to me and asked, “Can you play？” At first, I shook my head, but then I nodded. “Great! Come and play，” he said. I followed him, having no idea at all what to do. To my joy, he asked me to play in defense (防守). Defense was my favorite because I found it more fun and less complicated (复杂的). Then the game began again. There weren't a lot of big kids on the offensive line (攻击线) of the other team and I suddenly gained some self confidence. About five minutes later, the ball was kicked toward the guard. I thought it was a good opportunity for me. I quickly ran past the guard and got the ball. When the guard came to the offensive line, I kicked the ball. I scored and all my classmates cheered. You may not believe it, but I scored twice that time. The final score was 6—2 and we won. My teammates thought that I did very well and none of them believed I hadn't played in a game before.
That game really changed me. I am a really confident person now and often play football games with my teammates.

Alice was very worried about her dad. For some time now she had noticed he was losing his hair. One day, she asked him，“Daddy, every day you have less hair. Why is that？” Her father smiled and said, “It's the hair thief. He visits my head during the night when I'm asleep. One by one he pulls out my hair as much as he likes. And there's no way to catch him.”

Before long, she saw a shadow on it and she hit it with the hammer.
Her father let out a loud cry. Trembling with shock, he turned the light on and saw Alice waving her hammer in the air with her hands.“Daddy, I nearly got him. I thought I hit him, but it looks like he escaped！” said Alice. Meanwhile, all the noise had woken Alice's mother up. She burst out laughing when she knew what had happened.

This dictionary tells you about English words and how to use them in reading, writing and speaking English. It not only gives the meaning of words, but also helps you with spelling, word building, grammar and pronunciation.
To use your dictionary correctly, you need to understand how the dictionary works. At the front of the book, you will find some exercises to help you make the best use of your dictionary.
If you look up the word “colour”， you will find two spellings for this word.“Colour” is used in British English, while “color” is used in American English. When there are differences between British spelling and American spelling, the dictionary shows them with the word “BrE” for British English and “AmE” for American English.
The dictionary also helps you pronounce words correctly. We use a special alphabet (特殊字母表) to show pronunciation. If you turn to the inside back face, you will see all the phonetic letters (音标) with some words to show you how they are pronounced.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Would you like to read books in your free time Here are four books you really should read.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
It works perfectly as a book for teens. Set at an unspecified date in Earth's future, the novel presents two conflicts between humankind and the Formics, an alien species they call the “buggers”. In preparation for the third conflict, children, including the novel's leading character, Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, are trained from a very young age.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
McCarthy is one of our greatest living prose (散文) stylists. His novel, The Road, which was awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and in which a father and young son struggle to survive, is made all the more impressive by its briefness.
The Catcher in the Rye by J．D.Salinger
For decades, almost every good book about disaffected adolescents was compared to The Catcher in the Rye, but none has matched the original. Salinger had his finger on the pulse of a generation in a way that few writers can match, and he broke with tradition by writing in a colloquial (口语的) voice.
Tell Me a Riddle by Tillie Olsen
You might not have heard of Olsen, but her 1961 story collection Tell Me a Riddle was one of the first to chronicle (按事件顺序记载) the lives of working class women. Olsen opened a window onto a world not often seen before in American literature and influenced a generation of women writers, including Margaret Atwood, Sandra Cisneros, and Alice Walker.
21．What kind of book is Ender's Game
A．A love story. B．A story collection.
C．A folk tale. D．A science fiction.
22．Which of the following won its author the Pulitzer Prize
A．The Road. B．Ender's Game.
C．Tell Me a Riddle. D．The Catcher in the Rye.
23．Who had an important effect on female writers
A．J.D.Salinger. B．Cormac McCarthy. C．Tillie Olsen. D．Orson Scott Card.
B
My son was entering Grade 1. He was a bit nervous because he knew his best friend would not be in his new class. I explained to him that even though his best friend would not be in his class, he would still have some of his old classmates.
On the first day of school when the class list was posted, I was shocked! My son had zero former classmates in his class. None. Not one.
How could this happen
I asked my friend who works with the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board. She explained, “Many largely populated schools often shuffle (弄混) the kids around each year to encourage new friendships.”
If schools are actively trying to place two best friends in different classes simply to shake things up, I think it is a blunder．
I was lucky enough to attend the same primary school all the way through. It was a small class and our group of students moved through each grade together. We felt like brothers and sisters. It was wonderful.
While it may be good to shake things up a bit in the older grades, it seems almost cruel (残忍的) to separate good friends in the younger grades without good cause.
One mom named Karen says that her son is always starting a new grade without any close friends. At first, she thought it was a good idea. Then she realized one thing—her son does not have a “best friend”， which makes her pretty worried. In fact, she thinks that he does not have any close friends because his classmates are always changing.
Part of a school's responsibility (责任) is to provide a safe and comfortable space for children to learn and grow. If that environment is always changing—causing terrible results—perhaps it is time to rethink this practice.
24．How did the author bring up the topic
A．By telling a story. B．By using other people's words.
C．By making comparisons. D．By showing research findings.
25．What does the underlined word “blunder” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Progress. B．Reason. C．Mistake. D．Failure.
26．Why did the author mention her own primary school experience
A．To prove that smaller classes are better.
B．To discuss the importance of good friends.
C．To explain how friendships are developed at school.
D．To show the advantage of having familiar classmates.
27．What's Karen's attitude toward the practice of her son's school
A．She supports it. B．She is against it.
C．She isn't interested in it. D．She is uncertain about it.
C
Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son. Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut，” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14 year old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (依偎) against me on the sofa and talk，” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is understanding which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their mind. “In fact, parents are first on the list，” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years，” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them.
To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental (思想的) break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
28．What does “The door to his room is always shut” suggest
A．The son keeps himself away from his parents.
B．The son begins to dislike his parents.
C．The son is always busy with his study.
D．The son doesn't want to be ignored.
29．What troubles Tina and Mark most

Many countries are currently facing major problems related to waste collection, particularly in urban areas, due to the large amount of waste produced daily by the population. Technology could play a significant role in dealing with these issues, for example, through the development of more effective tools to gather and collect garbage.
With this in mind, researchers at Vishwakarma Government Engineering College have recently created a cheap and effective system, which they refer to as AGDC, for automatic garbage detection and collection. Their system uses AI algorithms (计算程序) to detect and locate waste in its surroundings, then picks it up with a robotic arm.
The system consists of a robotic body (i.e. a base, a robotic arm and a drawer) and several machine learning algorithms. It uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to detect garbage on the ground. Then, it calculates its position by analyzing pictures collected by an integrated camera (内置摄像头). Next, another algorithm judges the distance between the robot and the garbage, while also giving instructions to the robot to reach the target location. The position of the garbage and these instructions are then fed to a microcontroller, which controls the robot to move to where the garbage is resting. When the robot finally reaches the garbage detected by CNNs, it uses a robotic arm to collect it and drops it into a drawer that is attached to its body.
The researchers have already developed a prototype (原型) of their waste detection system, which can currently collect up to 100～200 g of garbage. In their future work, they plan to expand on this prototype, so that it can collect two to three kilograms of garbage before emptying its drawer. In addition, the team is thinking of developing and training a new CNN model that would allow AGDC to detect various kinds of garbage at the same time.
32．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Using technology to collect waste. B．Making using of urban areas effectively.
C．Dealing with industrial pollution. D．Reducing the amount of waste produced.
33．What is the microcontroller used to do
A．Pick the garbage up. B．Detect and locate the garbage.
C．Empty the robot's drawer. D．Direct the robot's movements.
34．How does Paragraph 3 mainly develop
A．By process. B．By classification. C．By comparison. D．By example.
35．What will the researchers do next
A．Build a prototype of AGDC. B．Advertise the prototype of AGDC.
C．Improve the prototype of AGDC. D．Mass produce the prototype of AGDC.

My parents have very different parenting styles. Dad brings out the best in me. He is calm (镇静的) and reasonable and treats me like an adult. Mum, like so many parents of my friends, makes me want to rebel (反抗). __36__
My friends and I think that our parents care too much about us. Take me for example. __37__ It was a journey I'd taken with Mum before. Dad was fine with the idea of me going alone, but it took weeks of arguments (争吵) before Mum agreed. In her eyes, I'm not old enough to go on the trip alone. But I'm sixteen years old!
Parents need to learn to trust us. There is no point in becoming angry, which just makes things worse. A few months ago, Mum went crazy when I told her I'd been receiving e mails from a stranger I'd met online. Since then she hasn't allowed me to use the Internet. __38__ They use monitoring software (监控软件) to secretly watch what their teenagers are looking at online.
I understand them, but they overreact (反应过激). __39__ I think what they should do is keep calm and help us find a way to deal with it.
We love the idea of being really close to our parents. __40__ But part of being a teenager is feeling free to take steps down new paths and learning from our own mistakes. Our parents have to let us get on with what is just a natural stage of life.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was in elementary school, I loved parties. I also liked all different kinds of people. I never quite fit into one of the many little groups at school, so I made friends from various groups. There was an “in” crowd made up of the cool kids who had the power to rule the school—if a cool kid wore two different colored socks to school one day, everyone thought it was great. But if an uncool kid did the same thing, the other kids would laugh at him or her.
Shannon was one of my friends who was the uncool type. She was a nice girl and wore pretty clothes, but was a little overweight. I don't know why, but people found it acceptable to make fun of her. Whenever there was a strange noise or smell in the classroom the kids would laugh and point at her. Shannon never said anything.
One year, to celebrate my birthday, my mom told me I could have a party at home. I struggled for days deciding on which girls to invite. Once I had chosen all the names, I made the invitations and handed them out to my friends at school.
“Why did you invite Shannon？” asked a cool friend. She said that I had made a big mistake and pressured me to tell her not to come. I wasn't sure what to do; I liked Shannon, yet I was afraid that the cool girls would be angry at me. I knew the right thing to do, but I eventually decided not to say anything to Shannon and let the invitations stay as written.
On the day of my party, both Shannon and my other friends came, and all that happened was that we had much fun together. None of the things I had worried about came to be. More parties and events followed that one and the memory of it gradually faded(模糊). In fact, it was many years later before I thought about that party again.

When I was a little girl, I remembered that when my dad was repairing something, he would ask me to hold the hammer, so we would have time for a conversation with each other. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.
I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days.

One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in hospital. Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.

While cities are known for being centers of culture and entertainment, small towns often have just as much to offer. The following are among the best small towns in the US.
ALASKA: Sitka
Population: 8，493
Sitka is located on Baranof Island, making it only accessible by plane or boat. Lying between mountains and the Pacific ocean, it gives residents splendid views and even incredible wildlife.

COLORADO: Crested Butte
Population: 1，681
Crested Butte, situated in the Rocky Mountains, is known for its flowers. In fact, the town is called the “Wildflower Capital of Colorado.” One of the town's most beautiful seasons is July, when it hosts the Wildflower Festival. The warmer months also offer 750 miles of biking trails and camping in the forest.In the winter, Crested Butte becomes a popular skiing destination.
LOUISIANA: St.Francisville
Population: 1，616
St.Francisville, Louisiana, is so peaceful and beautiful that it even made it to the big screen, becoming the set for movies like Tom Cruise's “Oblivion” and “The Maze Runner.” You can also explore historic plantations alongside some of the most beautiful scenes. The Bluffs is another attraction in town for those who love golf.

Traveling with kids is 90 percent reminding yourself to live in the moment and 10 percent making up your mind to never again leave your house.
I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip and I've finished washing piles of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the mess caused by the kids. Extremely tired and annoyed, I would actually begin to miss the place we just left!
Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful. And you remember only the wonderful—until you're back on a plane and your kids are fighting over who gets the aisle seat. Then you remember the bad stuff.
Last weekend, my kids and I flew to Texas for a trip we would have nothing to complain (抱怨) about—big hotel, wonderful view.
And yet—we found things to complain about. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you get to shower first They call this coffee Luckily, I've learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor (盔甲) on as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and land in a pile at my feet.
For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored, until it was time to catch a plane and fly home.
Unfortunately, our flight was canceled. We spent hours finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed and swam well into the night, my kids making up songs and laughing so hard at their silly lyrics (歌词) and their crazy good fortune to be swimming at 10：30 on a school night.
And that was when it hit me that family travel is all those things I said before but it's also a lot more. It's taking your kids to parts of the world that will open their eyes and finding that actually, yours need opening too. It's remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them.
4．What does the underlined word “uncanny” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Unknown. B．Uncertain.
C．Unexpected. D．Unusual.
5．According to the passage, family travel is like childbirth in that ________．
A．they both cause financial trouble and pain
B．they are both hard as well as rewarding
C．childhood memories come flooding back when they travel
D．both of them need many preparations
6．What does the sentence “I've learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor on” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．She tries to deal with the complaints more wisely and properly.
B．She turns those annoying complaints into a means of educating kids.
C．She has improved her language skills when handling the complaints.
D．She has succeeded in escaping kids' fighting thanks to the armor.
7．From the author's experience in the passage, we CANNOT learn that ________．
A．family vacation benefits her kids as well as her
B．joy and memories should be created rather than discovered
C．the most unforgettable memory for her is about the complaints
D．she has to spend some time on housework after the family vacation
Ⅱ.语法填空
It isn't unusual for foreigners to experience some level of culture shock in China. The country is famed for 1.________ (it) unique culture, and you will have no shortage of new things 2.________ (explore) and learn about. China's fast development is likely to make the adjustment more 3.________ (comfort) for most new arrivals.
The language barrier can be 4.________ big challenge for foreigners. There are a few reasons for this. Apart 5.________ Chinese Mandarin, hundreds of other dialects exist. In some rural areas, 6.________ (disappointing), some people can't even speak Mandarin.
The second reason is 7.________ even though young people learn English nowadays, the education system doesn't give them many 8.________ (opportunity) to use it. This means that while many people can understand easy phrases, they're often quite shy when it comes to 9.________ (speak).
People generally don't bother translating things into English outside big cities, where the biggest numbers of foreigners 10.________ (find). As such, it's a good idea for foreigners to learn a few useful phrases in Chinese before arriving in the country.
Ⅲ.书面表达

To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades, and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different.
Firstly, there are no lessons.All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers—only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. You do not need to say to a three－year old, “Go explore your environment. You can't stop them！” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste for learning.”
At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four year olds.They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget, and even which staff they want and do not want any more.
When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80%of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
24．What is the main topic of the article
A.An unusual school. B．Children's hobbies.
C.A school without rules. D．Education in the US.
25．What does the school believe
A.Teachers cannot teach children well.
B.Children learn best when they do what they want to do.
C.Learning is for adults—children should only play.
D.Children should only learn about one thing at a time.
26．What does Daniel Greenberg say about three year olds
A.They love learning. B．They are very naughty.
C.They want to be outside all the time. D．They are too young to learn anything.
27．Who has the most power in the school meetings
A.The older children have more power than the younger children.
B.A child has more power than an adult.
C.The younger children have more power than the older children.
D.Everybody has equal power.
C
What is the hottest topic at your school recently In Taiyuan No. 55 Middle School, it's money.
The school held an activity called “making money” last weekend. About 200 Junior 1 and Junior 2 students were divided into 30 teams. They went out to make money by selling things.
What did they choose to sell Some sold newspapers; some chose bottled water; some sold environmentally friendly shopping bags and bamboo baskets.
Hu Qing's team decided to sell some useful books in front of the Children Activity Center. They thought parents would like to buy the books for their children. But unfortunately, they met urban management officers (城管). The officers asked them to leave. “We played hide and seek (捉迷藏) with the officers for the whole morning” said Hu. “Finally we had to give up.”
Wang Bing and her team sold ice cream in a square. They didn't meet any officers. But few people were interested in what they were selling. The team then put up a board saying “For Country Kids”. It worked. More people came to their stall (小摊). A foreigner even gave them 100 yuan. “He didn't want any change. He said he wanted to help the children，” said Wang. “We were touched.” Later that day they gave the 100 yuan and more to the “Project Hope” office.
MengZhaoxiang and his team were luckier. They sold all their cakes in four hours, spending 39.5 yuan and getting back 80 yuan. They made 40.5 yuan. “It was not easy to make the money，” said Meng. “Some people just looked. Others just tasted but didn't buy. Now I know how hard it is for our parents to make the money we need to lead happy lives.”
28．Who took part in the activity
A.Some teachers.
B.About 200 of Junior 1 and Junior 2 students.
C.About 200 students of the three grades.
D.About 200 Junior 1 students.
29．Why did Hu Qing's team finally give up
A.Because the parents didn't like to buy the books.
B.Because the Children Activity Center was too crowded.
C.Because the officers didn't allow them to sell anything there.
D.Because the team played the game of the hide and seek the whole morning.
30．Why did more people come to Wang Bing's stall at last
A.The people were willing to help country kids.
B.A foreigner came up and helped them.
C.The team put up a magic board.
D.The people were interested in their ice cream.
31．What can students learn according to the passage
A.It's impossible for them to make money.
B.It's very important for them to make a living.
C.It's not easy for their parents to make money.
D.It's difficult for them to make money.
D
School was always something I loved because I always enjoyed learning more. I never felt afraid of going to school early in the morning, and I never tried to get out of any work. I stayed after school every chance I got. I did most of the work I could, got the best grades I could, and in the end, I graduated from high school with honors. All my success was because of the teachers I had who helped me, pushed me, and made learning a fun thing to do.
At the beginning of the school year, I had a lot of trouble leaving my mom in the mornings, but Mrs. Trainer always sat with me, talked with me, and helped me feel ok without my mom. She was understanding, kind, and always made the classroom a comfortable place. Mrs. Trainer also sat down and helped me learn; I was, and still am, the worst speller, but she tried her hardest to help me.
The second was my senior high school English teacher, Mr. Stonerock. Mr. Stonerock was able to make English and writing fun, especially when we had eight page papers to hand in. Some of my favorite high school memories (记忆) were in his classes. Mr. Stonerock also taught my class APA format (格式) which to me is invaluable. I use it every day in my life. He put up with so many shenanigans (恶作剧) from my classmates and me and always did it with as mile.
My point to all of this is that there are amazing and caring teachers out there whether they teach college level classes, high school level classes, or primary level classes. I have had more influential teachers than I can count. I am still in touch with some of my high school teachers, who give me life advice and guide me. Teachers are invaluable resources (资源) and no one can take their place.
32．Which of the following can best describe the author as a student
A.Creative and proud. B．Confident and polite.
C.Kind hearted and honest. D．Hard working and excellent.
33．How did Mrs. Trainer help the author
A.By teaching him like a mother. B．By helping him to be the best speller.
C.By asking him easy questions in class. D．By learning about his habits from his mother.
34．What is the most useful skill the author learnt from Mr. Stonerock
A.How to finish papers quickly. B．How to use APA format correctly.
C.How to learn English in a fun way. D．How to get on well with classmates.
35．What is the purpose of this text
A.To show how to be a good teacher. B．To stress teachers' key roles in schools.
C.To praise teachers important to the author. D．To share the author's experience as a teacher.

For several weeks Mrs. Emerson hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. Her kitchen were full of things which she did not need.

Everything in your basket is free.”

Whatever stage of life you're at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you'll create positive changes in a poor and remote community (社区).
We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17～24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25～75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programmes. We have such roles as project managers, mountain leaders, and communication officers.
Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community's access to safe drinking water, or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.
Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you'll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who'll become your lifelong friends.

During the summer holiday some students might have been busy with traveling, summer camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.
Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1，500 yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.
“Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are，” said Dalin, 18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12 year old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.
They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o'clock. Some of them went to the farmer's market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall. To lower the cost, they learned to bargain with the sellers.
At about 6：30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled loudly to attract customers. After several days, they got some experience, too.
For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.
When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.
“We are tired，” said Dalin. “but we gained a lot”．
24．In the writer's opinion, the 12 students' action was ________．
A．popular B．encouraging C．strange D．embarrassing
25．Why did the cousins decide to sell vegetables at a market
A．To show how able they were. B．To have less hardship of life.
C．To prepare for their future traveling. D．To learn how hard their parents work.
26．Why did they bargain with the sellers
A．They wanted to cut down the cost. B．They wanted to share their feelings.
C．They wanted to get bigger vegetables. D．They wanted to attract more customers.
27．What's the best title of the passage
A．Summer Courses B．Family Business
C．Students Learn from Bargains D．Cousins Work with Vegetables
C
Kindness and kids just seem to go hand in hand. But 62% of more than 2，600 participants in the NBC News State of Kindness Poll believe that today's kids are less kind than those in the past. Women (66%) feel about this kindness fall more strongly than men (58%). Most of the participants who feel that way (77%) thank parents caused the seeming lack of kindness among today's children, with a few thinking that society, schools, or friends caused it.
At the same time, Americans say they don't put kindness first when it comes to teaching kids values. Among all participants, honesty is taught more than kindness as well as other things like courage, leadership and storing work ethic (道德). But the younger generation—those aged 18～24—think highly of kindness rules. They choose kindness by 10% over honesty as the most important quality to teach kids.
The question of whether kindness is learned or taught—or somewhere in between—causes different opinions.

They say that“travel is the best teacher” and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587～1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however. Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60 year old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500，000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard to reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4 year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.
32．What is the passage mainly about
A．The influence of Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
B．The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travels.
C．The important discoveries made by Xu Xiake.
D．The general details of Xu Xiake's life story.
33．Which of the following best describes Xu's mother
A．Supportive and open minded. B．Kind but uneducated.
C．Helpful and hardworking. D．Strict but interesting.
34．Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels
A．It gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people.
B．It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail.
C．It helped him to save money and travel for a longer time.
D．It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in.
35．What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake
A．It was mainly about the different people of China.
B．It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.
C．It was the first travel book ever written in China.
D．It was only made public after Xu died.

Public Speaking Training
Get a coach
__36__， so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. __37__， so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.
__38__
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. __39__. As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
You are a special person not a clone.
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. __40__. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A．You aren't like anybody else
B．You already do lots of things well
C．Turn your back on too many rules
D．Check the rules about dos and don'ts
E．Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
F．The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep

Michael goes to his grandparents' once or twice every month, and he decided to go round to see them when he had a free evening the week before they went for a holiday.
“Come in, Michael，” his grandfather said. “I'm glad you've come round. Take your coat off and sit down for a minute. Let's see the end of this programme on TV. Your grandmother and I watch it every week at this time of night.” So Michael sat in a comfortable chair, quietly waiting for the TV detective (侦探) to find out who the thief was.
Finally, his grandmother got up and turned the TV off. Then, she said, “I'm sorry, Michael, but I must go and see a friend for a few minutes. I'll come back soon. But while I'm out, perhaps you can help your grandfather to bring down the big blue case from the attic (阁楼). We want it for the holiday.”
They watched her going by. “Let's go round to the pub (小店) for a drink，” grandfather said. “That's a good idea，” Michael answered, “but let me give you a hand with the case. Tell me where it is and I'll get it out for you. It's in the attic, isn't it？”
Grandfather pulled down the corners of his mouth. “That's the trouble. It's not there. You can go up and look, but you won't find it. Perhaps, I lend it to somebody, but I can't remember. Your grandmother doesn't know, but she'll find out this week that we've lost our best case.” Michael laughed, “Don't worry. You can use mine. If I go home now I can bring it back in half an hour.” And he went home quickly before the old man could say no.
When he got home, his father called, “What are you looking for, Michael You're throwing your things about, aren't you？”

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Guam is a beautiful, small island in the Pacific Ocean. You'll find happy songbirds, clear blue water, and leafy forest there. But the small island has a big problem: snakes. There are about 2 million brown tree snakes living in Guam.
The snakes likely arrived in the 1940s. They probably slipped (滑行) unseen onto ships and planes heading to Guam. Once there, the snakes laid eggs. Snake families grew. The snakes have no natural enemies to eat them on Guam. Soon, the island was covered with these snakes.
The brown tree snake has had a devastating effect. The snakes eat birds. There used to be 12 kinds of birds on the island. But these snakes have killed off nine kinds of the birds. The snakes can grow to be 10 feet long. They often bite humans. They climb onto power lines and make the electricity go out. This causes millions of dollars in damage.
Scientists have tried many different ways to control the number of snakes. They have used snake traps and snake sniffing dogs. Nothing seemed to work. Nothing, that is, until they found a surprising secret weapon: killer mice.
Scientists found out that there is one easy way to kill brown tree snakes. They could give them a medicine called Tylenol. People take Tylenol for headaches and other pains. Even a little bit of Tylenol can kill a brown tree snake.
But how would scientists get the tree snakes to eat Tylenol They came up with a plan. First, the experts put the medicine into dead mice. Then they attached each mouse to a mini paper parachute (降落伞).Planes dropped the mice over Guam. The parachutes got caught in the trees. The mice became dinner for the snakes that live there.
Has it worked So far, research shows that there are fewer snakes because of the mice. The worry is that it may be too late to clear the snakes, but Mr. Vice from Guam's Department of Agriculture says this should not stop the islanders from trying. “Our long term goal is to kill the snake off completely，” he says.
1．What can we learn about the brown tree snakes
A．They were shipped to Guam on purpose.
B．They were not native to Guam.
C．They were at risk in the 1940s.
D．They grew very slowly.
2．What does the underlined word “devastating” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Magical. B．Interesting.
C．Short term. D．Damaging.
3．What was a more workable way to kill the brown tree snakes
A．Using snake traps.
B．Putting Tylenol in the trees.
C．Bringing in their enemies.
D．Letting them eat Tylenol carried by mice.
4．What does Mr. Vice think of solving this snake problem
A．He is proud of it.
B．He is hopeful of it.
C．He is doubtful about it.
D．He is unconcerned about it.

“Good morning，” the new teacher said.“I'm Ernesto Flores, your teacher for fifth grade.” In all his years in school, Julio had never heard a teacher use his or her first name. Of course, the students always found out what they were, but it was up to the students to discover this information for themselves.
“Now I'd like to find out who you are，” said Mr.Flores.He began to call the roll (点名), starting with the boys. Julio shook his head.Teachers always began with the girls.
“Julio Sanchez，” called Mr.Flores, pronouncing it Hulio. That was the correct way to say the name in Spanish.
Several kids laughed.They had never heard Julio's name pronounced without the J.
Mr. Flores looked up from the roll book. “Isn't that how you say your name？” he asked Julio. “Or do you prefer Julio with a J？”
“At home, they call me Hulio. But at school everyone calls me Julio，” Julio said.
“Do you like two pronunciations of your name？” asked the teacher. “It's a good Spanish name and you should be proud of it.”
Julio smiled.“I know，” he said, “but it doesn't matter to me.”
“Are you sure？” asked Mr.Flores.“Your name is a very important part of you.”
Julio thought for a moment.“Okay，” he said. “From now on, everyone please call me Hulio. Puerto Rico, where I was born, used to be a Spanish colony (殖民地).”
“That's right，” said Mr.Flores.“Can you tell us something about Puerto Rico？”
“I came here when I was only eight months old. I don't remember anything，” Julio replied.
“I think you can interview your parents instead，” Mr. Flores said.
Julio nodded. It would be fun to learn more about the place where he had been born.
Julio had to admit (承认) that Mr. Flores was creative and interesting.
24．Why did Julio shake his head
A．The new teacher was a man.
B．The new teacher used his full name.
C．The new teacher started the roll with the boys.
D．The new teacher asked him a question.
25．Why did some kids laugh

C．They thought the teacher had made a mistake in pronunciation.
D．They didn't expect Julio's name to be called first.
26．What would Julio probably do after school
A．Discover more information about his new teacher.
B．Learn how to pronounce his name correctly.
C．Use the new name his new teacher gave to him.

When Rick was 11, he managed to use a computer by touching a switch with the side of his head. He was finally able to communicate. And after a high school classmate was injured in an accident and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick typed, “Dad, I want to do that.”
How was Dick, a fat man who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles But, he tried. That day changed Rick's life. “Dad，” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn't disabled anymore！” And that sentence changed Dick's life. He became crazy about giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard belly shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon. This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 24th Boston Marathon, in 5，083rd place out of more than 20，000 starters. “NO question about it，” Rick typed. “My dad is the father of the century.”
And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago, he had a mild heart attack during a race. “If you hadn't been in such great shape，” one doctor told him, “you probably would have died 15 years ago.” So, in a way Dick and Rick saved each other's lives.
They compete in some races every weekend, including the latest Father's Day. That night, Rick bought his dad dinner, but the thing he really wanted to give him was a gift he could never buy. “The thing I'd like most，” Rick typed, “is that my dad sits in the chair and I push him once.”
28．What made a great difference to Dick's and Rick's lives

Since the outbreak of COVID 19 in early 2020, public health and government officials have put social distancing rules in place and advised people to stay at home as much as possible. Many schools around the world started online learning.
Do teenagers have it easy being home all the time Not necessarily. They can't connect with teachers and friends in person and do outdoor activities. They are even concerned about the deadly disease. These have caused a rise in anxiety among young people.
In a study of about 1，500 teens last spring, 70% kids said that they were struggling with anxiety and 45% had felt more stressed than usual. Poncin, a professor of clinical child psychiatry (精神病学), said that it's difficult to show exactly what is causing the increased stress. Some factors focus on our communities and families, while others are individual (个别的). “There are many stress factors that teens are worried about, like their parents losing jobs, family members getting sick, parents not being home, not talking with friends, and more，” Poncin said. “Teens need to learn how to be together and how to talk and be with people.”
Thinking about something over and over also builds stress. To help ease (缓解) their worries, teens can bike, walk the dog or even pick up a new hobby.
In my home state of North Carolina, Roy Goode, head of the local educational agency, is especially concerned about students who don't have the resources they need to learn at home. “Today's students are tomorrow's leaders，” he said. “We need to make sure they all have a chance to succeed so we can overcome any challenge that comes our way.”
32．Why does the author list the numbers in Paragraph 3
A．To tell the reasons leading to anxiety.
B．To stress the importance of being together.
C．To show teens' increased mental problems.
D．To stress the need for dealing with sadness.
33．Which of the following best shows Poncin's opinion
A．He believes chatting online helps.
B．He thinks teens should learn at home.
C．He thinks there are different reasons for teens' stress.
D．He believes government is responsible for COVID 19.
34．According to the passage, what can teens do to free them from worries
A．Stay at home alone. B．Develop new hobbies.
C．Play computer games. D．Have a walk with friends.
35．Where is the text most likely from
A．A diary. B．A magazine. C．A guidebook. D．A novel.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Everyone likes the beautiful Cinderella, but I like the ugly stepsister. The sidewalk was filled with shoppers as my mother and I hurried to the department store. I raised my neck for a look at the holiday window display, but at the age of six I was too small to see around the grown ups with their winter coats and packages. When at last we reached the store, I stood with my eyes widened. “Look, Mother，” I shouted, pressing my hands against the glass, “Cinderella.” Before my eyes was the most beautiful doll I had ever seen! She wore a fairy princess suit made of shining red silk. I knew if I lifted her skirt I would find her crystal (水晶) shoes. The tiny tiara (冠状头饰) fastened to her silky golden hair shone.
“If only she were mine，” I dreamed. “We'd have tea parties, share secrets and dance with a handsome prince.” But to my disappointment, my mother guided me away from the window, explaining that she and my father could not afford such an expensive doll. “But there will be a very special gift under the tree for you on Christmas morning, Madge，” she said. “I promise.” Later that week I leaned against Mother's sewing machine, watching the needle flash up and down. “Bet you don't know what this is！” she joked, holding up the cloth for me to see. “My Christmas doll！” I yelled. It was still in the early stages but I could make out the head, neck and body. “So much to my surprise！” Mother laughed as I danced around the room, already pretending Cinderella and I were at the ball. It wouldn't be long now.
My excitement grew with each passing day. Mother continued to work on the doll, and whenever I walked into the room she would hide it under a pillow. I could tell by her smile she was pleased with her progress. On Christmas morning I jumped out of bed, ran down the hall and quickly arrived at the living room where the Christmas tree was placed.

Years ago, I was so confident, and so naive (幼稚的).I was so sure that I was right and everyone else was wrong.
I was lucky and got successful, so that kept me blind to my weak points.At last, I sold my company, felt ready to do something new, and started to learn.But the more I learned, the more I realized how little I knew and how lucky I had been.
I'd start to make things, but then saw how stupid I was, so I stopped.I lost all my confidence.I spent a few years completely stuck.
Finally, some new ideas helped：
·Learning without doing is wasted.If I don't use what I learn, then it is pointless! How terrible to waste hundreds of hours spent learning, and not turn it into action.Like throwing good food in the trash: it's wrong.
·This isn't about me.How I feel in this moment doesn't matter—it will pass.Nobody is judging me, because nobody is thinking of me.They are just looking for things to improve their own life.The public me is not the real me anyway, so if they judge my public personality, that's fine.
·The work is the point, and my work is special.If I can do something that people find useful, then I should.It doesn't matter whether it's a masterpiece or not, as long as I enjoy it.
So I'm glad my old confidence is gone.Now I aim to make my work—my little contribution to the world—just special and useful.

Jenny, who was the only child in her home, had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle aged seller busy doing his business.However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles？”
“Oh, yes...but I don't have any money on me...” she replied.
“That's nothing.I'll treat you today，” said the man, “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive.As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it？” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually.I was just touched by your kindness！” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger in the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother scolded me for very small things.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared with a stranger！”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her？”

[2022·河南洛阳高一期中]Growing up in Venezuela, there was never really much cause to learn English. For five years, I spent two hours a week understanding “to be”， numbers, colours, and the differences between saying “good evening” and “good night”. I would always get top marks. Yes, that used to be me, walking like a queen among Spanish speakers every day. “Bring__it__on,__life，” I said. “I can deal with whatever you will give.”
But when I moved to Canada, life hit me so hard that it knocked me down. Years later, I was still recovering. Living in a new land, with different people, new rules, new weather, a new culture and language, I was no longer a queen. Did I speak English No, not at all. So, I went back to school, thinking that it was a challenge I would conquer in record time. But English was more like a wall in my path. Even after getting a job, it took all my courage to stop myself from crying. I was completely at a loss and scared. Learning English, speaking and listening—it hurt me. Not the language. Not the unkind people. It hurt because I wasn't good, despite my efforts.
Now, after almost seven years in Canada, I've decided not to say sorry for my accent, grammar mistakes, or pronunciation. I'm going to run after my dreams and enjoy a beautiful, rich and fascinating language. Don't get me wrong. My brain still screams “Give me a break！” from time to time, but that's completely natural. I know it's going to take a while, but at least now I accept the person I am—not the perfect person I thought I was.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” __1__ I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. __2__ However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
__3__ Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency not accuracy. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn't matter. __4__
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive (主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. __5__
A．Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.
B．Obviously the best answer is to expand their vocabulary.
C．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.
D．However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”！
E.The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.
F．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
G．If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle schools, they are often worried about moving to the high schools. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their schools.
Even though they've done this already in the middle school, it's still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.
One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs accept students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请). The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.
What's more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.

I suffered from mental illness and depression when I was younger, and it totally affected my teenage years.But after a long struggle, I found a hobby that changed my life.
My depression really kicked in after my family moved to the UK when I was about 11 years old.Having to get used to life in a foreign country was very difficult.The friends I knew were gone, and the changes in my environment led to my depression.I had problems in many parts of my life, which made it impossible for me to carry on.
At that time, I didn't understand that depression was an illness.I remember a particular day when I couldn't find enough strength to get myself home from playing in the park—it felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders.
Other times, I felt so trapped.I never really reached out for help either, as I felt that there wasn't anyone who could have helped with my situation.
What turned my life around, however, was discovering street dancing.I was introduced to it by a friend, and I started taking classes at a studio in London.After a few weeks, I began to go out and meet a lot of other dancers to practice and train with them on a regular basis.It gave me a purpose, and eventually the happiness I gained from it helped me manage my depression.The dancing helped me get my life back, focus on my studies, and get through university.
My advice to anyone who might be going through something like I was is to reach out for help.The thing about life is that it changes, and you never know what might come your way.If someone had said to me during those dark moments that I would have gone on to achieve the things I have, I wouldn't have ever believed it.
Just take each day as it comes, and remember that there's always someone, or something, out there to help you.

7．答案与解析：sitting　考查现在分词。notice sb.doing sth.意为“注意到某人正在做某事”，故本空应用现在分词sitting作宾补。

Dear Fred，
In your last letter, you asked about my first day at school. I am writing to tell you something about it.
The campus is beautiful with the green trees and colorful flowers. When I first arrived there, I was impressed by its wonderful, peaceful and warm atmosphere. Every day, my teacher teaches me a lot of knowledge from different aspects such as Chinese, Math, and English, which we are curious about. My outgoing schoolmates and I play together every day, improving our relationship. When we have trouble in learning, we always find the quickest way to solve the problem, which strengthens our relationship.
I believe I will have a great time in my school.

1．答案与解析：C　根据第一段“Thirteen year old Kaylee has a lot of friends—532, actually, if you count up her online friends.And she spends a lot of time with them.”的描述，同时结合全文主旨大意可推知，这里的主要目的在于提出讨论话题，从而引出下文对于这个话题的进一步阐释和说明。故选C。
2．答案与解析：B　根据画线短语前的“During your parent's childhoods (在你们父母的童年时期)”和画线短语后的“Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones.(孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏，而不是和朋友们用手机玩文字游戏。)”可知，在你父母的童年时期，与朋友相处通常意味着亲自花时间与他们在一起。孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏，而不是玩手机，由此推知， in the flesh意为“亲自”，故选B。
3．答案与解析：D　根据第五段中的描述可知，事实上，网上交流在很多方面可以让友谊更加牢固。而且是有积极影响的。孩子们经常联系意味着他们可以更多地分享彼此的感受。据此推知， Katie对网络交流持乐观态度。故选D。
4．答案与解析：C　根据第六段的描述可知，如果我们一直关注虚拟世界，我们将几乎没有时间留给现实世界的友谊。Rosen担心孩子们可能会把社交媒体上的朋友错当成生活中真正的朋友。由此可知，Rosen认为青少年需要关注现实世界的友谊。故选C。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了澳大利亚作家安德鲁·马修斯在他的著作《快乐少年》中告诉青少年如何拥有快乐的生活。
1．答案与解析：C　如果是这样的话，你会发现澳大利亚作家安德鲁·马修斯写的《快乐少年》很有用。根据下文“In his book, Matthews __2__ us how to have a happy life and answers the __3__ of teenagers.”可知，这里的意思是你会发现澳大利亚作家安德鲁·马修斯的《做一个快乐的少年》很有用。
2．答案与解析：B　在他的书中，马修斯告诉我们如何拥有快乐的生活，并回答青少年的问题。根据空后的“us how to have a happy life”可知，在他的书中，马修斯告诉我们如何拥有快乐的生活。
3．答案与解析：C　根据空前的“answers”可知，马修斯还回答了青少年的问题。
4．答案与解析：D　马修斯在书里写到很多话题，比如父母和朋友，这本书说我们应该停止生气并且要学会原谅。根据空前的“writes about”和空后的“such as parents and friends”可知此处指书中写到的话题。
5．答案与解析：B　根据空前的“The book tells us of useful skills”及空后的“how to put what you have learned into pictures of your mind to make your memory better”可知，这本书告诉我们一些有用的技能，比如/像是如何把你所学到的知识运用到你的脑海中，使你的记忆力更好。
6．答案与解析：C　许多青少年认为快乐来自于好的考试成绩或者别人的表扬。分析句子结构可知，此处为宾语从句，从句成分完整，所以用that仅起连接作用，无实义。
7．答案与解析：C　根据空后的“be happy even when there are no such ‘good’ things.”可知，但如果没有这些“好”事，你仍然可以快乐，这里应使用still搭配even表转折。
8．答案与解析：B　根据空后的“If you __9__ from problems, you will have success in the future.”可知，如果你从问题中吸取教训，以后你会取得成功，因此成功来自良好的态度。
9．答案与解析：A　根据空后的“from problems, you will have success in the future.”可知，这里指从问题中吸取教训才能取得成功，需用learn搭配from。
10．答案与解析：D　根据空后的“being too tall or too short.”可知，太高或太矮应该属于问题。
11．答案与解析：B　但马修斯告诉我们，快乐来自于以积极的方式思考问题。根据上下文可知，在他的书中，马修斯告诉我们如何拥有快乐的生活，因此此处指“快乐”。
12．答案与解析：A　根据空前的“Matthews tells us that __11__ comes from thinking about things in a positive”可知，马修斯告诉我们，快乐来自于以积极的方式思考问题，后文给出的思考方式佐证了这一点。
13．答案与解析：C　如果你个子高，人们更容易注意到你，你在看电影时可以看得更清楚；如果你个子矮，你的衣服和鞋子在你的卧室里占的空间就更少！ 根据空后的“if you are short”可知此处是个子高和个子矮的对比，此处指“个子高”。
14．答案与解析：A　take up开始从事，占用； stand up站起来； turn up调大，出现； burn up烧光，消耗。根据空前的“if you are short, your clothes and shoes”可知，如果你个子矮，你的衣服和鞋子在你的卧室里占的空间就更少， take up搭配room表示“占用(空间)”。
15．答案与解析：B　根据空后的“you choose to be happy！”可知，你可以选择快乐，这是马修斯在书中告诉我们的最重要的一个道理。
Ⅳ.

7．答案与解析：where　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词place，且从句缺乏状语。
8．答案与解析：truly　考查词性转换。修饰动词want用副词。
9．答案与解析：happiness　考查词性转换。根据前面的动词bring和句意可知，此处表示“能够给周围的人带来快乐”之意，故用名词happiness，且不可数。
10．答案与解析：successful　考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，本句缺表语， be动词后接形容词作表语。

6．答案与解析：disappointingly　考查副词。句意：在一些农村地区，令人失望的是，有些人甚至不会说普通话。修饰整个句子作状语应用副词disappointingly。
7．答案与解析：that　考查表语从句。句意：第二个原因是，即使现在的年轻人学习英语，教育系统并没有给他们很多机会使用它。表语从句中不缺少成分和意思，所以应用that引导。
8．答案与解析：opportunities　考查名词复数。many后应用可数名词复数。
9．答案与解析：speaking　考查动名词。句意：这意味着，虽然很多人能理解简单的短语，但他们在说话时往往很害羞。when it comes to...为固定句型，介词to后应用动名词作宾语。
10．答案与解析：are found　考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：在外国人最多的大城市以外，人们一般不会费事把东西翻译成英语。在定语从句中，动词find和主语foreigners构成被动关系。此处讲述客观事实，应用一般现在时。主语the biggest numbers of foreigners是复数。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关岛是一个美丽的地方，但是有一个很大的问题——到处是棕树蛇。杀死棕树蛇一个有效的方法是让它们吃携带Tylenol的老鼠。关岛农业部的Vice先生鼓励岛民们尝试，希望未来可以彻底消灭蛇。
1．答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据第二段中“The snakes likely arrived in the 1940s.They probably slipped (滑行) unseen onto ships and planes heading to Guam.”可知，蛇可能是在20世纪40年代出现的，它们可能趁人不注意溜上了前往关岛的船只和飞机。由此推断出，棕树蛇不是关岛的本地物种。
2．答案与解析：D　词义猜测题。根据后句可知，棕树蛇吃鸟，岛上曾经有12种鸟类，但是这些蛇已经杀死了九种鸟类。蛇可以长到10英尺长，它们经常咬人。他们爬上电线，让电力供应中断，这造成了数百万美元的损失。以上说明了这种蛇的危害性很大。由此可以推断出画线词“devastating”意思是“有破坏性的”。Magical有魔力的； Interesting有趣的； Short term短期的； Damaging造成破坏的。
3．答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Has it worked So far, research shows that there are fewer snakes because of the mice.”可知，杀死棕树蛇一个有效的方法是让它们吃携带Tylenol的老鼠。
4．答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中最后一句可知， Guam岛农业部的Vice先生说，这不应该阻止岛民的尝试。“我们的长期目标是彻底消灭蛇。”由此推断出， Vice先生对解决蛇的问题满怀希望。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一群青蛙在穿过树林时，其中两只掉进了一个深洞里，其余的青蛙都在说它们死定了，其中的一只信以为真，最终死了，而另一只青蛙以为是鼓励的话最终不断的尝试，终于跳出来了。
1．答案与解析：F　根据上下文内容可知，上文提到两只青蛙掉进了洞里，后文则提到洞外的青蛙，故本句应是在说明其他的青蛙并没有跳进洞中，而是在洞外朝掉入洞中的两只同伴叫喊，故F项“所有其他的青蛙都聚在一起看着它们掉下去的两个朋友”符合语境。
2．答案与解析：E　根据上文可知，洞外的青蛙认为落入洞中的两只青蛙应该停止努力，认为他们试图跳出来是浪费时间，故E项“青蛙告诉它们，它们只是在浪费时间”符合语境。
3．答案与解析：D　结合上下文内容可知，上段提到一只青蛙死了，所以本句是在说明另一只青蛙的情况，故D项“另一只青蛙继续比以前跳得更用力”符合语境。
4．答案与解析：G　根据下文内容可知，另外一只青蛙最后通过努力跳出了洞外，故G项“最后，令所有其他青蛙惊讶的是，他从深洞里跳了出来”符合语境。
5．答案与解析：B　根据上文可知，此处通过故事总结出道理：我们的语言对他人产生巨大的影响，故B项“我们的话确实有伤害或帮助的力量”符合语境。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了“我”去看望在一个寒冷的天气里让“我”搭车回家的老妇人，并认识到没有什么事情比帮助他人能让人感到更快乐了。
1．答案与解析：B　根据空前“a particularly cold and windy day”可知，天气非常寒冷(freezing)。blow刮风； flow流动； fly飞行。

3．答案与解析：D　根据上文“I was walking home from school”可知，“我”是在放学回家(home)的路上。hospital医院； family家庭； school学校。
4．答案与解析：A　根据空后“melted(融化)away the thought”可知，这位老妇人温暖的(warm)笑容打消了“我”原有的想法。easy容易的； simple简单的； strange奇怪的。
5．答案与解析：B　根据下文“she was just such a good woman”可推测，此处是表达“我”与老妇人有一个美好的对话。
6．答案与解析：D　根据下文“walked down to her house with my friend”可知，这位老妇人告诉了“我”她的地址(address)。number数字； car汽车； family家庭。
7．答案与解析：A　根据空后“I decided to return the favour.”可知，一个月后的一个晚上“我”想起了(remembered)这位老妇人的善行，“我”决定为她做一点事情。forget忘记； repeat重复； regret后悔。

14．答案与解析：B　上文说帮助他人，此处是说使别人的天空变得更明亮(brighter)。busier更忙碌； easier更容易； harder更难的。
15．答案与解析：C　让我们永远不要忘记通过帮助别人(give sb. a hand) 而获得的快乐。skill技能； cookie曲奇饼； ride便车。
Ⅳ.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国山西平遥古城。
1．答案与解析：as　考查短语搭配。根据前面的as可知，此处为“as...as”结构。句意：这座有着2700年历史的城市曾是中国著名的银行业之都，在清朝末年时的重要性与当今的美国华尔街一样。
2．答案与解析：its　考查代词。指代后一句中的名词Pingyao，且修饰名词power。
3．答案与解析：which　考查定语从句。本句为非限定性定语从句，先行词是Pingyao，在非限定性定语从句中充当主语，指物，故用关系代词which。
4．答案与解析：traditional　考查形容词。修饰名词homes需要用形容词traditional，表示“传统的”之意。
5．答案与解析：dating　考查非谓语动词。本句已经有谓语动词has，故date需用非谓语动词，此处为现在分词短语作后置定语，意为“追溯到；始于；自……至今”。
6．答案与解析：Known　考查非谓语动词。此处非谓语动词know与逻辑主语each courtyard home之间构成动宾关系，故用过去分词形式。
7．答案与解析：were divided　考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句中courtyard homes与动词divide构成被动关系，且表示过去的事情，故用一般过去时的被动语态。
8．答案与解析：began　考查时态。根据时间状语a decade ago可知，此处需要使用一般过去时。
9．答案与解析：to preserve　考查非谓语动词。此处用不定式做目的状语。句意：2012年，全球遗产基金会帮助规划局设立了一个保护四合院的项目……。
10．答案与解析：homeowners　考查名词复数。homeowner为可数名词，且在句子中作宾语，表泛指，由于前面没出现表示单数概念的词进行修饰，故用复数形式。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock. According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.
Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers and non joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a proper pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries (动脉). Over time, this can cause serious injuries.
Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy (寿命), jogging a few times a week at a proper pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.”
The implications (暗示) of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and walking may be better for us than “iron man events, triathlons and long distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study, “You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health. And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much”．
1．Which of the following words can replace “strenuous” in Paragraph 1
A．Regular. B．Hard.
C．Practical. D．Limited.
2．Why does the author present the figures (数字) in Paragraph 2
A．To suggest giving up jogging.
B．To show risks of doing sports.
C．To provide supportive evidence.
D．To introduce the research content.
3．Why is too much exercise harmful according to the scientists
A．It may injure the heart and arteries.
B．It can make the body tired out.
C．It will bring much pressure.
D．It consumes too much energy.
4．What can be the best title of the text
A．No Exercise At All Is The Best Choice
B．More Exercise Means a Healthier Life
C．Marathons Runners Are Least Likely to Die
D．Too Strenuous Exercise Is No Better Than None

If plastic had been invented when the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth, England, to North America—and their Mayflower had been stocked with bottled water and plastic wrapped snacks, their plastic waste would likely still be around four centuries later. Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits. And those bits might still be floating around the world's oceans today, waiting to be eaten by some fish or oysters, and finally perhaps by one of us.
Because plastic wasn't invented until the late 19th century, and its production only really took off around 1950, we have a mere 9.2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with. Of that, more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste. And of that waste, a surprising 6.3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin—the figure that shocked the scientists who published the numbers in 2017.
No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean, the earth's last sink.In 2015, Jenna Jambeck, an engineering professor of the University of Georgia，caught everyone's attention with a rough estimate：between 5.3 million and 14 million tons of plastic waste each year just come from coastal regions.
Meanwhile, ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine (海洋的) animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it.Some are harmed visibly, stuck by abandoned things made of plastic. Many more are probably harmed invisibly. Marine species of all sizes, from zooplankton to whales, now eat microplastics, the bits smaller than one fifth of an inch across.
“This isn't a problem that we don't know what the solution is，” says Ted Siegler, a Vermont resource economist who has spent more than 25 years working with developing nations on garbage.“We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it.We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle. It's a matter of building the necessary institutions and systems ideally before the ocean turns into a thin soup of plastic.”
1．Why does the author mention the Pilgrims in Paragraph 1
A．To prove plastic was difficult to invent.
B．To introduce what marine animals like eating.
C．To tell the Pilgrims contributed a lot to the marine protection.
D．To show plastic waste has a lasting effect on the ocean.
2．What's the main trouble marine animals face according to the text
A．Lacking protection.
B．Being stuck by plastics.
C．Being caught by humans.
D．Treating plastics as food.
3．What does Ted Siegler want to tell us in the last paragraph
A．Some people don't know the solution to plastic waste.
B．Plastics will turn the ocean into a soup of plastic.
C.It's time to take measures to deal with plastic waste.
D．People should avoid using plastics to protect the ocean.
4．From which is the text probably taken
A．A biology textbook.
B．A travel brochure.
C．An environmental report.
D．A lifestyle magazine.
B
The victims were carried in one by one, their paws (爪子) and fur burnt, suffering from thirst and fear.Their caretakers bandaged their wounds, hugged them and laid them in baskets with the only thing that was familiar—the leaves of a eucalyptus tree (桉树).
As catastrophic fires have burned more than 2 million acres in Australia, dozens of koalas have been rescued from burning trees and grey ground.
“They are terrified，” said Cheyne Flanagan, clinical director of the Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie, the only hospital of its kind in the world.
Koalas, unlike kangaroos, birds or snakes, do not flee from fires but instead climb trees to the top, where they can curl themselves into a ball for protection and wait for the danger to pass.
But during very serious fires, such as those that have burned in recent weeks, the animals, conservationists said, are far less likely to survive.Even if the fire itself does not reach the top of the tree, the animal may overheat and fall to the ground, where they can be burned to death.
The difficulty of the koala—a national symbol of Australia—has raised questions among conservationists and scientists about what it will take to preserve biodiversity in a country where there is more serious fire, extreme heat and lack of water.
While koalas have to get used to existing alongside wildfires, the animals are facing new danger not just from climate change but also from human activities, which has disturbed local populations, weakening their ability to survive fires.
“We have these unique animals not found anywhere else on this planet, and we're killing them.” Flanagan said.“This is a big wake up call.”
5．What will koalas do when facing the wildfire
A．Flee to other places.
B．Hide under the ground.
C．Climb to the top of the tree.
D．Wait for the rescue to come.
6．Besides wildfire, what else threatens koalas' existence
A.More human activities.
B．Less water to drink.
C．Bigger local population.
D．Weaker ability to climb.
7．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Koalas' living habits should be studied more carefully.
B.More measures should be taken for koalas' protection.
C.Wake up calls should be made when wildfire happens.
D.Killing unique animals should be banned in a strict way.
8．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Looking for unique animals in Australia.
B．Protecting Australia's animals who cannot climb.
C.Facing new threats which cause koalas' deaths.
D．Saving the fire victims: Australia's koalas.

Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room at the ice skating rink (溜冰场). She had not been skating in any competition since her left knee was badly injured in an accident six months ago. As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous. She knew that today was a very important day in her comeback.
“If I can win today.” she thought, “I can skate in the World Cup next year and then maybe I can make it to the Olympics.”
Laurie was just told that she had a tough competition this year, a girl from Connecticut named Jinny Jordan who was really strong in everything. “She is the one you have to beat this year.” the coach said.
Minutes later, the door opened and Laurie saw a young woman who was about her own age. The young woman dumped some of her belongings onto a chair. The bag fell to the floor with a thud (砰的一声).
Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny. “So this is my competition，” thought Laurie.“Because of her, I may lose tonight.”
“This costume (服装) was my mom's idea，” Jinny started the conversation, looking down at her red white, and blue skating dress. “It looks like a flag.”
Laurie couldn't keep from smiling.She pointed to Jinny's skating bag. “Some stuff fell out of your bag.” Laurie said.
Jinny looked at the clothing and equipment that lay scattered on the floor. As she began to gather her belongings, the door opened.
“Jinny，” called someone, “You'd better give the tape of your music to the sound engineer right away.”
“I thought I gave him my music tape an hour ago，”said Jinny. “Tell him it's the green box with my initials (姓名的首字母) written in white in the right hand corner.”
“He said you never gave it to him and he's getting angry.”
“Then I don't know what I did with it，” said Jinny, hurrying out.
Laurie knew that music was nearly as important to the program as skating itself. If she lost her music tape, she might as well forget about skating. Laurie stood up and walked to the chair to do a few more knee bends.
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table. She pulled it out, and saw the white Initials J. J. in the top right hand corner. “It's Jinny's music tape！” She exclaimed.Laurie's heart started beating fast.“All I'd have to do is forget that I found this，” she thought. “If Jinny doesn't have her music, she might as well not skate. And then I would win.” Laurie shivered slightly as she thought about this. Then she wondered, “Does winning mean so much to me that I'd be willing to cheat for it？” She walked to the door and called Jinny loudly.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为80左右；
2．续写部分为一段，开头语已为你写好。
Feeling relieved, Laurie skated quickly to the centre of the rink after the announcer finally called her name.

Paul Simon, the famous American folk singer sang that “every generation throws a hero up the pop charts”. The same is true in sports. Every generation finds an athlete who has the qualities we all wish we had: devotion, excellent athletic ability and grace under pressure.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who just won a second straight NBA MVP, has all that and more. Now he still plays for an NBA basketball team, the Milwaukee Bucks, and he is a famous forward in NBA.His teammates like him very much because he is good at teaming up with them in every game.
Antetokounmpo was born in Athens, Greece on December 6, 1994. He is the son of immigrants from Nigeria. Three years earlier, his parents had moved from Lagos, leaving behind their firstborn son with his grandparents. Although Antetokounmpo and three of his four brothers were born in Greece, they didn't automatically (自动地) receive full Greek citizenship according to the Greek nationality law. For the first 18 years of his life, Antetokounmpo was effectively stateless, having no papers from Nigeria or Greece. After gaining Greek citizenship in 2013, his family changed their surname from Adetokunbo to Antetokounmpo to more closely follow Greek spelling rule.
Antetokounmpo grew up in the Athens neighborhood of Sepolia. His parents, as immigrants, couldn't easily find work, so Antetokounmpo and his older brother helped by selling watches, handbags and sunglasses in the streets from place to place. In 2007, Antetokounmpo started playing basketball.
When he was 18, Antetokounmpo stood out from the hundreds of thousands of immigrants trying to survive in Greece. He was born here. He could speak Greek fluently. He completed Greek schooling. He became a Greek citizen.
“From the time I started in basketball, my dream was to be a big star, to have a big future in basketball.” he said.
1．Why does the author mention Paul Simon in paragraph 1
A．To praise the folk singer.
B．To introduce the topic.
C．To give a typical example.
D．To draw the readers' attention.
2．What do we know about Antetokounmpo
A．He has won MVP award twice so far.
B．He is the firstborn son in his family.
C．He got Nigeria citizenship at age 18.
D．He was a born basketball player.
3．Which of the following can best describe Antetokounm as a player

In a time when many people around the globe are in lockdown (封锁) and unable to attend the gym, home exercising is becoming important. Fears of piling on the pounds are forcing many to find novel ways to move the body. You don't need to pump iron or have expensive equipment like rowing and cycling machines to help you stay fit.
Exercising is not just important for your body, but also your mind. A study by Dr. Andrea Dunn at the Cooper Research Institute in Dallas, Texas found patients who did daily 35 minute walks per week experienced a 47% reduction in their depression (抑郁) levels.
Cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, often simply called cardio, is designed to keep your heart rates up, which in turn will strengthen your heart and improve your general fitness. Many of us are turning to activities like skipping with an old rope, or watching one of the many “fitness experts” who produce exercise videos online.
Walking is another great activity to help you increase your blood circulation. There are many affordable pedometers which can be worn like a watch and used to track your steps, heart rates and sleeping patterns. You don't even have to step outside, with many people simply doing some power walking or running round their gardens or up and down their hallways.
Practicing yoga or Tai Chi can help to increase our body flexibility, which in turn can lower joint pain and help to protect us from injury. Finally, strength and resistance training can be done at home by simply lifting bags of rice or boxes instead of heavy weights in the gym.
There are many ways to help us stay active, and indeed these exercise habits can be carried over in our lives long after lockdown is lifted. For those of us who complain about our busy lives stopping us from hitting the gym, ten minutes a day with a rope or a bag of rice may not only help our fitness, but our mental health too.
5．What may encourage us to find new ways to exercise according to Paragraph 1
A．Gaining weight. B．Being mentally ill.
C．Losing connection. D．Living a boring life.
6．Which is the most suitable for maintaining the heart rate
A．Rope skipping. B．Pumping iron.
C．Power walking. D．Lifting bags.
7．What are the possible benefits of yoga and Tai Chi
A．Losing weight quickly.
B．Making our bodies stay flexible.
C．Letting us recover from injury slowly.
D．Reducing your depression levels efficiently.
8．What's the best title of the text
A．How to Exercise at Home
B．What to Do in Lockdown
C．The Importance of Staying Fit
D．Different Ways to Keep Healthy
Ⅱ.语法填空

A powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at two forty six p．m. local time on March eleventh 2011. Japan's Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami warnings just three minutes later. The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.
There are more than four thousand Seismic Intensity Meters (地震烈度测量仪) in place throughout Japan to measure earthquake activity. These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening. Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes.
There are also concrete (混凝土) sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.
Costas Synolakis, a tsunami expert at the University of Southern California said，“Japan is one of those most well prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. They had a warning. I think what went wrong is that they had not expected the size of this event.”
He says there are two reasons for this. Japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this one in the last one hundred fifty years. And scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of Japan.
The nine point zero magnitude earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan. The tsunami waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as thirteen meters in some areas.
Costas Synolakis says Japan's concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves.
1．Where can this passage probably be adapted from
A．A newspaper.
B．A fairy Tale.
C．A sports website.
D．An entertainment magazine.
2．Which of the following statements is NOT true
A．A terrible earthquake hit the northeastern coast of Japan.
B.The powerful earthquake was also the worst one in Japan.
C．The 9.0 earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan.
D．Japan's concrete sea walls were unable to handle such high waves.
3．Why did Japan suffer such a loss
A．The country has never experienced any event as big as this one.
B．Japan has the best earthquake early warning systems.
C.There are not enough concrete sea walls around the Japanese coastline.
D．The government didn't announce its first tsunami warnings three minutes earlier.

On Saturday 24 August 1918, it was raining cats and dogs and thundering over a city called Sunderland on the northeast coast of England. The storm lasted for only about ten minutes. People were shocked to see that it was not just rainwater falling from the sky. There were fish falling down, too! People came out to find out what was happening in the open air. They could not believe their own eyes. There were thousands of fish—sand eels (沙鳗)—lying on the ground. They were about seven centimeters long, and all were frozen solid.
Sand eels swim together in large groups, often in sandy water, and are often found in large numbers in the North Sea, which reaches out to the east of Sunderland. How was it possible for these sand eels to be swept into the sky and land on Sunderland
Scientists believed the heavy thunderstorm that afternoon may have caused a waterspout. Waterspouts (水龙卷) can be formed when tornados, hurricanes or strong winds move quickly in a circle over water. They are so powerful; anything less than one meter in length can be trapped and taken into them and forced into the clouds. The clouds carry whatever has been taken into them for long distances—sometimes over 150 kilometers. It's very cold up there and everything soon freezes solid.
For hundreds of years there have been reports of small animals being taken into the sky through waterspouts. In 2009, dead tadpoles rained down on the city of Nanao in Japan. In 2012, fifty kilos of prawns fell from the sky over Sri Lanka. In 2017, fish fell on the coastal city of Tampico In Mexico.
It must be a very shocking experience to see fish raining down on you. It would probably hurt if one fell on your head! With climate change, global warming and many reports of terrible natural disasters, will the time ever come when it may really begin to rain cats and dogs
4．What was the rain like on 24 August 1918
A．It was very heavy.
B．It fell around England.
C．It lasted quite a long time.
D．It caused many human deaths.
5．What do we know about the sand eels that landed on Sunderland
A．They were few in number.
B．They came in different sizes.
C．They were still alive when landing.
D．They probably came from the North Sea.
6．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．Clouds. B．Waterspouts.
C．Strong winds. D．The waters of the sea.
7．In the end, what does the author probably care most about
A．Our health. B．Our environment.
C．The wild animals. D．The news reports.

Last year, I lived in Chile for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn't understand.
Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.
I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn't speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.
Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite (食欲). I was required to overcome all difficulties.
As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget the words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math. Physics chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.

I dropped out of college after my first year. Three years later, I returned to college after having been stuck in a dead end job, working at a department store. I saw school as my way out. But I quickly found myself up against the same problems that had caused me to give up before. I was in over my head with college level algebra (代数) and a heavy workload of reading and writing homework. In addition, I was still unsure of my career (职业) direction.
After about a week in community college, I was feeling the same upset and fear I'd felt a few years earlier. I was ready to drop out again. Then a smartly dressed woman with grey hair walked confidently to the front of my English composition class. “Look at you! You're here because you want to change your lives for the better. And you're going to make it！”
Mrs. Peters didn't know me from any of the other 40 faces in her classroom, yet I felt she was speaking directly to me. She knew exactly what I was feeling and what many of my classmates were probably feeling as well, and she lessened our fears. I came out of that class making up my mind to succeed.
“Are you having trouble keeping up with the workload Break it down into small manageable pieces, and set up a schedule that works for you.” she told us. “Are professors teaching too fast for you to take notes Interrupt (打断) them with a question so you can catch up on your notes before they continue.” she advised. “If college algebra is too difficult, drop back to introductory college math.” she suggested. As for English composition which can be hard and boring, she gave us interesting writing homework.
She never let us lose sight of our dreams. “Go for the best: you're worth it.” she said when we graduated.
I left that community college with high grades and went on to do further studies. Mrs. Peters wouldn't know that when she gave that talk, she made a huge difference in my life.
24．Why did the author go back to college
A．He was out of a job. B．He was dissatisfied with his job.
C．He tried to start his own business. D．He hoped to learn more about algebra.
25．What troubled the author at college
A．He did badly in recent exams. B．He was forced to leave school.
C．He failed to manage his studies. D．He was beaten by bitter memories.
26．How did Mrs. Peters affect the author
A．By showing favor to him. B．By talking with him directly.
C．By setting him extra homework. D．By giving him inspiration and skills.
27．What advice did Mrs. Peters offer to her students on their careers
A．Have fun. B．Start small. C．Dream big. D．Think twice.
C
Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family's last vacation. It was my six year old son's winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week long trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine month old and took off for home.
The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1，600.Not bad, huh
Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth. I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
28．Why did Delta give the author's family credits
A．They took a later flight. B．They had early bookings.
C．Their flight had been delayed. D．Their flight had been cancelled.
29．What can we learn about the author
A．She rarely misses a good deal. B．She seldom makes a compromise.
C．She is very strict with her children. D．She is interested in cheap products.
30．What does the author do
A．She's a teacher. B．She's a housewife.
C．She's a media person. D．She's a businesswoman.
31．What does the author want to tell us
A．How to expose bad tricks. B．How to reserve airline seats.
C．How to spend money wisely. D．How to make a business deal.
D
My first day in high school will never be forgotten. When I got to the classroom in the morning, I saw that Mr. Brown had already put our names on our tables. After walking a few steps, I saw my name on the table right in the middle of the classroom. Walking up to my table, my heart sang. “It would be great to sit there. I could see everything easily，” I thought to myself.
A while later, the other students entered one by one and took their own seats. And then Mr. Brown started talking.He showed us his classroom rules and tried to explain them. All of a sudden, a student called Tony started singing loudly.All the while he moved his body to the music. His deskmate Josh couldn't understand why he was doing these things. Then he stood up and talked to Mr. Brown, “I don't want to sit with this strange guy. Can I swap seats with someone else in this room, please？”
Mr.Brown didn't answer his question directly. He stopped what he was doing and turned on his computer. Then he showed us some pictures about autistic (患自闭症的) kids. He explained that autistic kids have little self control. They seem to do things that are beyond (超出) everyone else's understanding. However, they can do many other great things, in the field of art or music for example. Then he told us that Tony was not good at maths, but loved songs. “He can sing thousands of songs. What's more surprising is that he can remember all the words without any mistakes.” In the end, Mr. Brown added that although autistic kids were different, they should be loved.
Since that first day in high school, I became Mr. Brown's admirer (崇拜者). I was pretty sure Mr. Brown would get all of us on the right track (轨道).
32．How did the author feel seeing his table

33．What did Mr.Brown do in the class first

C．He got his computer ready. D．He showed some pictures.
34．In what way was Tony special
A．He acted politely. B．He was understanding.
C．He had a mathematical mind. D．He knew music very well.
35．What does the author think of Mr.Brown
A．He's off the right track. B．He can make a great teacher.
C．He has too many admirers. D．He is too different to be loved.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数60左右。
Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏团，马戏表演). Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well behaved, all of them standing in line, two by two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man dropped his head, and his lips began to shake. The ticket lady again quoted the price. It was obvious that the man didn't have enough money.
How would he turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.

A
I woke up this morning, excited but anxious, as today was the day I would begin my journey of senior high school.
The school I attended is an all female boarding school, which is the only single sex school in this city.Some people say single sex schools are better than mixed sex ones in that they have classes specially designed for their male or female students. I am curious to know what such a school looks like. Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind. Will I fit in Will I make friends Will I have nice teachers What if I make a bad impression on the other girls What if I can't concentrate in class as I did in junior high
After breakfast, I set off with Mom sitting beside me and Dad driving the car. We were warmly received by a group of seniors at the school gate. I said goodbye to Mom and Dad there.Some of the seniors helped take my suitcase to the dorm (宿舍), where I met my three roommates, Sally, Laura and Amanda.Only two of us have Chinese nationality while Sally is Korean and Laura American, who impressed me most with her beautiful eyes and sweet smile.
Since we had no classes in the morning, the four of us decided to explore our campus.Our school is beautiful with tall trees, bright flowers, nice looking grassland and buildings of the southern Chinese style. A bulletin board (宣传栏) we passed by shows a lot of activity photos and says “With more than 50 student organisations on campus, there is a community for every interest”. I took a photo of the name list of the organisations so that I could study them carefully this weekend before I choose to register with some.I am looking forward to improving myself through group activities.

Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts (语言专家), however, will tell you that you're never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.
Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language__is__their__life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of language community. Learning new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.
Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured (感到有压力的) to be perfect when learning new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.
When young children learn a new language they come to see all kinds of languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset (思维模式) helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they're doing something unusual or “too hard”．
So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It's never too late to learn a new language. If you're older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you're a young child, though, now it is the time to step out and learn a new language!
1．By “language is their life” in Paragraph 2, the author means that children ________．
A．can live without language
B．lead a happy life every day
C．practice a new language a lot
D．are taken good care of by adults
2．What may make it hard for adults to learn a new language
A．They often feel pressured.
B．They usually have too many interests.
C．They think making mistakes is natural.
D．They always make all kinds of mistakes.
3．Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language
A．The behavior they have.
B．The learning attitudes.
C．The future plans they have made.
D．The materials they are using.
4．According to the author, a new language ________．
A．can never be learned by the old people
B．can be learned by the old people easily
C．can be understood only by the old people
D．can be learned by both the old and the young

Tom has an aunt who lives in a far off village. He hadn't seen her for two years and he really missed her.
Tom spent a lot of time with his aunt when he was a little boy. At that time, his parents were too busy with their work, so they sent him to his aunt. It was his aunt who took care of him for a long time. He remembered that back then a girl sometimes played with him. But he couldn't remember her clearly. After all, it was so many years before.
Last week, Tom decided to visit his aunt. And he called her first.
“Hello, Auntie. This is Tom. How are you？” asked Tom over the phone.
“I'm fine, Tom. Thanks. I'm just a bit lonely，”said Tom's aunt. Hearing that, he knew he had made a right decision.
“I'm coming this weekend. I want to spend the weekend with you，” he immediately said, thinking his aunt would be surely full of joy.
“Really That's great! I miss you so much.” his aunt said excitedly.
Tom set off on Friday afternoon. He thought he would arrive by taxi in the evening, but there was an accident on the road and all the traffic was stopped for almost an hour. When he got off the bus, it was getting dark.
It's a ten minute walk from the bus station to his aunt's house. The village had experienced a lot of changes. Tom looked around curiously. Just at that moment, another bus stopped and a girl got off the bus. The girl passed by Tom and began to walk into the village. Thinking that his aunt was waiting for him, Tom began to walk into the village, too.
He walked behind the girl. After about two minutes, it seemed that the girl noticed him. She looked back hurriedly, and then continued to walk. Moments later, the girl looked back again and then quickened her pace.

Michele Gentile, an Italian bookseller, is offering free books to children in exchange for plastic bottles to recycle.
Michele owns Ex Libris Cafe in Polla, a small town in southern Italy. He said he thought of the recycling program, because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment.
“My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment，” Gentile explained.
The idea for the initiative (倡议) came after Gentile collaborated with a nearby middle school on an aluminum recycling project. Working together, the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to purchase books for an entire classroom. His new program took off from there and has already spread into northern Italy: Gentile hopes his work will continue to make headlines and become a worldwide initiative.
The free books come from customers in Gentile's shop who have donated money to purchase a “suspended” book. The idea comes from a World War II practice in which customers would buy two Coffees: one for themselves and another for the next person in line. Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative.
While Gentile's program is a great way to recycle and get kids to read, it also brings awareness to the growing problem of plastic waste. Single use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world, only 14 percent of which are recycled. Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose (分解), is a major concern for environmentalists.
Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations, and recycling programs like Gentile's book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.
24．What is the purpose of Gentile's book giveaway
A．To sell more coffee and books. B．To attract more customers.
C．To collect money for a new project. D．To inspire reading and recycling.
25．How did Gentile come up with the idea
A．Working with a school to recycle cans. B．Seeing school kids don't like reading.
C．Donating books for a local school. D．Buying a “suspended” book for a child.
26．Who pay for the books of the project
A．The local government. B．Gentile himself.
C．Some publishers. D．His customers.
27．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．An Italian's Reading Initiative B．Recycling Can Get Kids Free Books
C．Michele's Way of Doing Business D．A New Way to Deal with Plastic Waste

My first visit to London was one and a half years ago. It was a wonderful trip. I stayed in the city for three weeks, and I had many impressions. I visited all the famous places. I'd like to tell you about some of the places I visited in this beautiful city.
First, I went to the Tower of London, and I want to say that it is a very interesting historical place. I found out that a long time ago, it was a prison. Later it became a castle for the royal (皇家的) family. Or maybe it is the reverse; I'm not sure, but later they left this place and lived in Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace.
I also enjoyed visiting the House of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, two very popular places for tourists. They are very old and beautiful. The Abbey is built in a kind of Gothic style; it is fantastic.
In London, you can also enjoy nature. There are many parks such as Hyde Park, Green Park, and Holland Park. These parks are wonderful green, quiet places where you can relax and escape the noise of the city.
Trafalgar Square is a popular place for students and other young people. You will find lots of pigeons (鸽子) there. If you have time, you can feed them and they will be very happy. You can buy special food for them, but be careful! Tons of birds are going to surround you if you feed them.
Another very special place in London that I like is St. Paul's Cathedral which was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. I also was impressed with the museums in London. They're very popular. I found them interesting because you can learn about the history of England.
I had a wonderful time in London. I really liked it because it is a city that is rich in history.
28．Why does the writer write the passage
A．To recall (回忆) his/her first travel to London.
B．To tell us he/she has visited many places.
C．To introduce a famous city to the readers.
D．To show the readers around London.
29．In order to avoid the noise of the city, where would you like to travel to
A．Buckingham Palace. B．Holland park.
C．The Tower of London. D．Westminster Abbey.
30．What is attractive to you most in Trafalgar Square
A．Meeting many young people B．Catching a lot of birds
C．Having a delicious meal D．Feeding the pigeons
31．During traveling in London, how did the writer feel
A．Worried. B．Surprised. C．Pleased. D．Tired.

London's newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.
The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren't regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.
The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.
Before building work began, a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4，500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.
Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.
The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.
32．Why is London's newest skyscraper called the Shard
A．Because of its cost. B．Because of its size.
C．Because of its shape. D．Because of its height.
33．When Piano designed the Shard, what did he want to do
A．To change London's skyline. B．To inherit London's tradition.
C．To imitate the Egyptian style. D．To attract potential visitors.
34．The critics who refer to social division think the Shard ________．
A．is only preferred by the rich B．is intended for wealthy people
C．is far away from the poor area D．is popular only with Londoners
35．Which would be the best title for the passage
A．The Shard: Cheers and Claps B．The Shard: Work of a Great Architect
C．The Shard: New Symbol of London D．The Shard: A Change for the Better

Mary and her husband, Jim, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. However, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Mary was so angry that she said to Jim，“I'm going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow, Mary just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake, To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and a snow—covered mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Jim！”， Mary cried. “Help！”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Jim. Mary kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Mary was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Mary wanted very much to be with Jim and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Mary rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger, Mary began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Mary heard a helicopter. Is that for me Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Mary took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag it if they came back again.

A
They were a happy family: four daughters all in the same school in different grades. The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued (粘) to her mother's skirts. The three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice was always driven to school by her mother.
One Friday, Janice's mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice, “My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me so I have no choice; I have to go. I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning. Will you please give Janice special attention and help her I want to be sure everything goes well for her.”
I told her that we would make every effort to support Janice. I even volunteered to meet Janice at her car so she would see a familiar face. As a mother myself, I'd like to help. Janice's mother thanked me for our understanding.
On Monday morning, expecting a tearful, anxious child, I planned a special program of fun and games. I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived and not three, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying “goodbye” to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom. I walked slowly into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went. Impatiently she said, “Oh, I always want to take the bus with the other kids, but Mother needs to be with me. You see there won't be any more babies, so I have to be a baby a little longer. While she is away, I'll just ride the bus every day. I am five, you know.”

B
Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition (学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68 year old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed (牺牲) to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study.“Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers，” she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that's pretty powerful.

A.She helped her dad with his work.
B.She ran the family farm on her own.
C.She supported herself through college.

C.To save money for her parents.
D.To find a well paid job there.
7．What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal
A.Her health.
B.Her time with family.
C.Her reputation.
D.Her chance of promotion.
8．What can we learn from Jenifer's story
A.Time is money.
B.Love breaks down barriers.
C.Hard work pays off.
D.Education is the key to success.

So they got a sign language teacher on board, and three months later, James was able to communicate 9.________ (happy) with all his classmates about regular things like homework and 10.________ (game).

关键能力综合练 进阶训练第二层
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but actually are not.
“Face the music” is a good example. When someone says they have to face the music, it does not mean they are going to a musical show or concert. To face the music means to accept the bad results of a behaviour.
Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please do not drive it. It is a very fast car and you are not on the insurance (保险).” But you do not listen. You want to show it to some friends and pretend (假装) the car is yours. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. The “music” here is the result of your behaviour. It could be losing the friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both.Whatever the music is, you must face it.
There are other American expressions that mean the same as “face the music”．
To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it.” He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!
“Pay the piper” also means the same as “face the music”. But, that expression has its own very interesting beginning. We will talk about that in the next Words and Their Stories.
1．What's the main idea of this passage
A．To invite a friend to go to a musical performance.
B.To tell people how to deal with a bad situation.
C．To give people a lesson on an action.
D．To introduce some expressions.
2．Which action belongs to “take your medicine”？
A．You broke the traffic rules and caused an accident.
B.You worked hard but failed in the exam.
C．You caught a cold and took some medicine.
D．You moved to a new city and lost touch with your old friends.
3．Which of the following expressions doesn't have the same meaning with the others
A．Face the music. B．Take your medicine.
C．Make your bed. D．Pay the piper.
4．What may next paragraph talk about
A．Other words and their stories.
B．The beginning of “pay the piper”.
C．The wider use of “face the music”.
D．An example of “take your medicine”.
B
Learning other languages, you discover how to say the same thing in many different ways. In English we say “goodnight”. In Vietnam, people say “Chúc ngǔ ngon”， which means “have a delicious sleep”. When I think about the word“delicious”I think of pizza, chocolate and ice cream. I don't think about going to sleep. So depending on the language, different phrases will improve your creativity and force you to think about how to say things in a different way.
Studying a new language, you will notice that you have to learn a new sense of humour that comes along with the culture of that language. Sometimes, jokes that work in English won't work in French or Japanese. But sometimes things that nobody would laugh in English work in Vietnamese. I learned this when I performed stand up comedy in Vietnam. A lot of my non Vietnamese speaking friends would ask me to translate the jokes for them, but when I translated back to English, no one laughed.
When you learn a new language you have to learn a lot of vocabulary, new grammar structures, idioms, and much more besides. Doing this, you have to learn memorization tactics (策略). These could be flashcards, using recall methods, or building a memory palace. Whatever tactic you use, it will strengthen your creativity.
Next time you meet someone who speaks several languages, before you think that they have something special going on in their brains, take a step back and think. Maybe they do. But maybe they've got that special thing because they've made the effort to learn several languages. And effort is something we can all give.
5．Which has the closest meaning as “Chúc ngǔ ngon”？
A.Goodbye. B．Delicious food.
C．Have a nice day. D．Have a nice dream.
6．Why did no one laugh after hearing the translation of the jokes
A．The jokes were not funny at all.
B．The author was not a good comedian.
C．The audience couldn't get the humor inside.
D．English was less humorous than Vietnamese.
7．How does learning a new language improve creativity according to Paragraph 3
A．It enables a memory palace.
B．It helps to build up a large vocabulary.
C．Different memorization tactics inspire creativity.
D.Different language structures strengthen creativity.
8．What does the author think of learning a new language
A.Gift matters. B．Effort counts.
C．Think it twice. D．It depends on tactics.
Ⅱ.语法填空
Today after work, as I was driving home, I realized my brake wasn't working. I started to panic and managed to pull over, 1.________ (luck) without crashing into anything or anyone. As I was struggling to figure out what to do, 2.________ middle aged black man knocked on my car window and asked me3.________ I needed help.

Fisherman Salvador was just trying to make a living on the sea with fellow fisherman Cordoba. Two days into the journey, disaster struck, and the two men would begin the greatest challenge of their lives.
The boat was loaded with tons of provisions, including 70 gallons of gasoline, 16 gallons of water, 50 Ibs of sardines for bait (鱼饵). They also had a mobile phone, kept safe in a plastic bag, a GPS, and a two way radio. The two had never spoken before or worked together, but they liked fishing and both of them seemed to know what they were doing.
Two days later, the weather was getting worse and worse. Salvador was trying to remain calm, but Cordoba was not prepared.He held on to the rail (围栏) for dear life as the waves crashed around them, vomiting (呕吐) and crying. When the storm finally passed, Salvador noticed that they had drifted far away from land. To make matters worse, the motor had stopped working. Salvador called his boss on the radio, but there was no response. Even worse was the fact that the GPS they has brought with them had stopped working.
The two men had been at sea for two months. While Salvador had become accustomed to catching and eating the animals available to them, Cordoba's mental health and physical health had begun to decrease. Once he got sick from eating raw seabirds, he refused to eat at all. His own depression, fear and malnutrition (营养不良) finally killed him, leaving Salvador alone on the boat.
One day, after a terrible storm, Salvador found the sky was suddenly filled with shorebirds. He knew that he was heading for land at last. He must have been close. There, in the distance was a green Pacific atoll (环礁). It looked small and wild, but it was dry land and would likely have food and shelter.
Salvador struggled until he reached what appeared to be a beach house. This was a fisherman's home. Seeing a weak man heading to their home unsteadily from the sea, the fisherman and his wife rushed out to him and welcomed him into their home. They had never seen anyone so weak and hungry. They were surprised that Salvador remained awake and managed to ask for a doctor before losing consciousness. Meanwhile they prepared abundant food and water for him.
注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为80左右；
2．续写部分为一段，开头语已为你写好。
Salvador was rescued.

My First Marathon
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P．E.class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informed me that I was “not athletic”．
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带) became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS！”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished! And I got a medal.In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in the first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”．
4．A month before the marathon, the author ________．
A．was well trained
B．felt scared
C．made up his mind to run
D．lost hope
5．Why did the author mention the P．E. class in his 7th year
A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C．To show he was not talented in sports.
D．To share a precious memory.
6．How was the author's first marathon
A．He made it.
B．He quit halfway.
C．He got the first prize.
D．He walked to the end.
7．What does the story mainly tell us
A．A man owes his success to his family support.
B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C．Failure is the mother of success.
D．One is never too old to learn.
