AMy first term at MIT(麻省理工学院) was awesome---- I got all A’s, and I declared math as my major. My parents were expecting me to become a doctor like them so I was trying to satisfy them. But I was desperately running away from them. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. My third term, I ended up with a D in math. I didn’t do that w ell in my other classes, either. It seemed like all my friends were doing so well, getting opportunities over the summers.My fifth term, I realized that I was awful at higher-level math. I had lost all confidence in myself. I went to a few classes at the beginning of the term, but after by midterm, I had totally stopped. My only relief was the dance team I was on. I would sleep all day, and then go to dance practice, and then go back to sleep. As expected, I failed in all of my classes and had to withdraw(退学) from MIT.I had no choice but to tell my parents. Instead of yelling or hitting me, they just held me and cried. The next day, my dad took a day off from work and took me to a nearby, small arts college.I had lost all confidence in myself. Before my f irst biology test, I didn’t think I could pass. I did pass. Since I had so much free time, I decided to join a biology lab. I realized that was what I wanted to do! I wanted to be a scientist!This past May, I graduated with the highest honors, and now I have my PhD in biology. Though it ended up taking me 5 years to graduate from college, I can say now that dropping out of MIT was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I’ve realized that a person is not his grades. I’ve realized how much my paren ts loved me. I’ve finally discovered my passion (热情) in life!21.How did the author’s parents react to his failing at MIT?A.They hit him.B.They shouted at him.C.They stopped their jobs to teach him themselves.D.They forgave him for what he did.22. In the arts college,the author _______.A.rebuilt his confidence.B.volunteered at many labs.C.found it hard to learn biology.D.hated the learning environment.23.What do we know about the author from the last paragraph?A.He felt sorry for his parents.B.He discovered his true interest.C.He realized the importance of grades.D.He felt ashamed of his failing at MIT.BA new restaurant in Semarang, Indonesia named the Methane Gas Canteen,tries to support the poor by allowing them to pay for their food in a special way.The restaurant, run by the couple Sarimin and Suyatmi, is located in an unexpected place ---Jatibarang Landfill(垃圾填埋场) ,where Poor locals spend their days picking up plastic and glass to sell. The couple, who spent 40 years collecting waste before opening the restaurant, are now busy cooking.What makes the restaurant unusual is that poor people can pay for their food with recyclable waste instead of money. This is part of the community's solution to reducing waste in the landfill.The restaurant seats about 30 people and serves meals that cost between $0.4 and $0.8 each. Since opening the restaurant, Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen their daily income more than double to $15 a day, compared to when they only depended on picking up plastic and glass to sell.Agus Junaedi, the former manager of Jạtibarang Landfill, came up with the idea for the restaurant in 2017 when Semarang's mayor wanted him to reduce the amount of plastic waste in the landfill. 40% of the 800 tons of waste that is added to the site daily is plastic.The price of plastic was very low at that time and, as Junaedi said,“Naturally, no one wanted to collect plastic waste. So why don't we get the poor to pay for their meal with plastic waste? We hope people change their mind and see waste as a useful thing."Additionally, after a fire in 2017 destroyed nearly 10 acres of land, Junaedi realized that the methane gas(甲烷)in the landfill could be used in life. It is now available to use free of charge for people around Jatibarang, as well as in the Methane Gas Canteen.24. What makes the restaurant special?A. Its location.B. Its delicious and cheap food.C. Its bosses experience and generosityD. Its way of charging customers.25. Why did people not want to pick up plastic waste in Semarang in 2017?A Plastic waste was too cheap then.B.There was little plastic waste in the landfill.C. No place wanted to recycle plastic waste.D. People thought plastic waste was of no value.26. Which of the following words can best describe Agus Junaedi?A Talented B. Creative C. Courageous D. GenerousCAn experimental cleanup device(设备) called RemoveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net around a dummy (仿真的) satellite, imitating a technique that could one day collect space born garbage.The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration（展示）of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit, the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean.Guglielmo Aglitter, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the junk can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long.The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coming months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris.Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said “The challenge will lie in persuading the authorities to sponsor these tasks.” Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.27. What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite?A. Demonstrating space technology.B. Imitating a developing technique.C. Collecting wastes existing in space.D. Symbolizing great progress in space.28. How does the RemoveDEBRlS satellite work?A. By throwing a net to take the junk from orbit.B. By fastening it to the main satellite tightly.C. By dragging satellites up to 10 meters long.D. By targeting large pieces of junk carefully.29. What does the underlined word “sponsor” in the last paragraph probablymean?A. Accomplish.B. Support.C. Oppose.D. Provide.30. What’s the best title for the text?A. The RemoveDEBRIS Project Is PerfectB. How RemoveDEBRIS Is Invented in the LabC. Why the RemoveDEBRIS Satellite Is InventedD. Satellite Collects Space Junk for the First Time第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He grew up on a farm near Little Falls, Mississippi. In his childhood, Lindbergh showed unusual mechanical ability. At the age of 18, he entered the University of Wisconsin to study engineering. However, Lindbergh was more interested in the exciting, young field of air travel than he was in school. After two years, he left school to become a pilot performing dangerous tricks.Lindbergh made the first non-stop flight alone across the Atlantic Ocean on May 20～21,1927.Other pilots had crossed the Atlantic before him. But Lindbergh was the first person to do it alone non-stop. Lindbergh's unusual action gained him immediate, international fame. The press named him ―Lucky Lindy and the ―Lone Eagle．Americans and Europeans admired the shy, slim young man and gave him a lot of honors.After the flight，Lindbergh published We，a book about his flight. The title referred to Lindbergh and his plane. Then, he flew throughout the United States to make speeches to encourage air travel on behalf of the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics (航空学)．Lindbergh learned about the pioneer rocket research of Robert H．Goddard, a Clark University physics professor. Lindbergh persuaded the Guggenheim family to support Goddard's experiments, which later led to the development of missiles, satellites, and space travel.Before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, Lindbergh took part in the activities against American involvement (参与) in World War Ⅱ.Many Americans criticized him for this. After the war, he served as an adviser in the aircraft industry.29．Lindbergh made the first non-stop flight alone across the Atlantic Ocean at the age of________.A．18 B．20 C．25 D．2730．Lindbergh stopped his study at university because________.A．he was more interested in air travel than his studyB．he wanted to make a flight across the Atlantic OceanC．he intended to write a book about his flightD．he did very well in his study and graduated in advance31．What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．Lindbergh had been famous before his flight across the Atlantic.B．People had no interest in the young field of air travel at the time.C．Lindbergh was the first pilot to cross the Atlantic.D．It was very difficult to fly across the Atlantic alone without stopping then.32．Which of the following roles did Lindbergh NOT perform in his life?A．Speechmaker. B．Writer. C．Researcher. D．Adviser.DAre you having difficulty falling asleep? Try drinking a glass of warm milk. If that doesn’t work, listen to some soft, beautiful music. Still no luck? Try think about sheep jumping over a fence. If you are still awake, take a sleeping pill. People who take pills often become dependent on thedrugs. So you lie awake knowing that the new workday will soon arrive. If you have been in such conditionfor at least one month, you may have primary insomnia(失眠症).A new study has found that you might fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep longer if you try “cerebral hypothermia.”It is not a complex medical process. It just means cooling down your brain.Eric Nofzinger and Naniel Buysse from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School led the study. They examined twelve people who had sleeping problems. Twelve others had no sleeping problems. Each ofthem wore a soft plastic cap on their head at bedtime.The caps had tubes inside filled with water. The researchers moved the water through the tubesand then changed the temperature of the water. Other studies showed that people who had sleeping problems often had more chemical reactions in the front of their brain. The researchers thought coolingdown the brain might help.On the first two nights of testing, the patients wore caps with no water. On the next two nights,the caps were worn, but the water was not cooled. Then the researchers cooled the water a little foranother two nights. On the final two nights of the study, the temperature of the water was made muchcooler. The researchers found that the water caps didn’ t help the patients until the temperaturewas about 14℃. Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water wasmoving around their head.Dr. Nfzinger and Dr. Buysse noted that this was only the beginning of the brain temperature study.But they believed they had discovered something important that needed more research.33. The first paragraph is written to _________.A. explain how serious insomnia is.B. bring forward the topic of the passage.C. tell us the causes of sleeping problems.D. tell us the danger of having sleeping problems.34. From the passage we know that “cerebral hypothermia” is actually _________.A. a complex medical process.B. a psychological treatment.C. a simple physical treatment.D. a difficult scientific theory.35. In the study, researchers helped people fall asleep faster through _________.A. increasing chemical reactions in the front of their brain.B. making them feel safe with a cap on their headC. asking them to drink water to cool downD. lowering the temperature of their brain。

Grab this chance and tick off this item on your bucket list.2. Grab a traditional Portuguese dinnerMacao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply into many corners of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people.3. Visit a museumMacao, as a tiny little city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both Eastern and Western historical sites can be found. Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum.4. Selfie(自拍) at the Ruins of St. PaulThe Ruins of St. Paul is the signature landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St. Paul's College and the Church of St. Paul, built in 1583.

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 star t to make things, but then saw how stupid I was, so I stpped. I lost all 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 them 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 shou ld. It doesn’t matter if it’s a masterpiece or not, as long as I enjoy it.So I’m glad my old confidence is gone.

They are difficult for adults and children. But adults should not be afraid to talk to children about natural disasters.31．But talking can help children feel safer and less afraid of the future. Here are five things adults can do when children show fear of natural disasters.First, adults should be willing to talk with children. When children are allowed to talk about their fears, they feel safer. Sometimes, the best thing an adult can do is just listen. 32．Second,33．When answering their questions, it is best to give short, honest answers. If you do not know the answer, you can be honest and say that you do not know.Third, it is important to wait until a child is ready to talk about a natural disaster. Adults should not force children to talk.Fourth, help children feel safe.34．One way is very simple: adults can tell frightened children that they love them. It is also important for children to do the same things they do every day. Simple things like going to school and eating dinner can help children feel normal.Fifth, use activities to help children communicate their fears. Heshani was 13 when the Indian Ocean tsunami (海啸) ruined her house in SriLanka. One year later, she was still living under the shadow (阴影) of the natural disaster. She did not like to visit her ruined house. And she did not want to talk about the problems her family had. However, she loved to write. 35．Writing poems was a way for her to share her fears since she did not like to talk about them.A．let children ask questions.B．There are many ways to do this.C．Talking cannot stop natural disasters from happening.D．learning is of great importance to adults.E．We should feel safe first.F．Whatever the fear is, it is important to listen and be patient with the child.G．And she often shared her feelings about the tsunami in her poems.四、语法填空语法填空（共10 小题；每小题1.5 分，满分15 分）Grand Canyon National Park recently turned 100 years old.

Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus andsee the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, but it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky.7．The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_______.A．escape in time of emergencyB．take a short breakC．create a comfortable atmosphereD．enjoy themselves8．Which of the following is True according to Paragragh 2 and 3?A．Dimming lights is required when accidents happen.B．Our eyes need some time to adapt to the change of light.C．Speckles are caused by the use of dimmed lights.D．It is required for pilots to turn off lights during the flight.9．What is the function of shortening “dark adaptation” time?A．Slowing down the landing.B．Adjusting the plane lights.C．Keeping passengers calm.D．Helping the crew judge outside risks.10．What is the text mainly about?A．A tip to make air travel safer.B．An emergency event happening on a plane.C．An explanation of an airline safety measure.D．A warning message from the pilot.二、完形填空I don’t know why I came to the decision to become a loser, but I know I made the choice ata young age.

Whatever you are writing, creating a clear plan is the first step to getting your message across quickly and in the most effective way.Guide readers through what you writeYour task is to help readers understand your message quickly and precisely.33．Each sentence, each paragraph should be relevant to what comes before and what comes after. You should use words and phrases that connect to show these connections.34．Your aim in writing is to communicate ideas and information to other people, and you must keep that in mind with every word and sentence you write. Constantly ask yourself who you really write the information for.Write for the ear, not for the eyeOnce you’ve finished a draft of your speech, practice reading it out loud. 35．Revise so you are more comfortable giving your speech. You want to sound natural, no matter what the occasion is.A．Write for readers, not yourselfB．Write for the aim, not for the wordsC．It sounds robotic, and employers hate it.D．Far too often people write without a plan.E．You’ll hear anything that sounds awkward.F．Whatever it is, keep your purpose in mind at all times to avoid going off topic.G．To do this, it is necessary to show them clearly how the different parts relate to each other.四、语法填空Once a man was walking along a beach.

AMy first term at MI T( 麻省理工学院) was awesome---- I got all A’s, and I declared math as my major. My parents were expecting me to become a doctor like them so I was trying to satisfy them. But I was desperately running away from them. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. My third term, I ended up with a D in math. I didn’t do that well in my other classes, either. It seemed like all my friends were doing so well, getting opportunities over the summers.My fifth term, I realized that I was awful at higher-level math. I had lost all confidence in myself. I went to a few classes at the beginning of the term, but after by midterm, I had totally stopped. My only relief was the dance team I was on. I would sleep all day, and then go to dance practice, and then go back to sleep. As expected, I failed in all of my classes and had to withdraw(退学) from MIT.I had no choice but to tell my parents. Instead of yelling or hitting me, they just held me and cried. The next day, my dad took a day off from work and took me to a nearby, small arts college.I had lost all confidence in myself. Before my first biology test, I didn’t think I could pass. I did pass. Since I had so much free time, I decided to join a biology lab.I realized that was what I wanted to do! I wanted to be a scientist!This past May, I graduated with the highest honors, and now I have my PhD in biology. Though it ended up taking me 5 years to graduate from college, I can say now that dropping out of MIT was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I’ve realized that a person is not his grades. I’ve realized how much my parentsloved me. I’ve finally discovered my passion (热情) in life!21.How did the author’s parents react to his failing at MIT?A.They hit him.B.They shouted at him.C.They stopped their jobs to teach him themselves.D.They forgave him for what he did.22. In the arts college,the author .A.rebuilt his confidence.B.volunteered at many labs.C.found it hard to learn biology.D.hated the learning environment.23.What do we know about the author from the last paragraph?A. He felt sorry for his parents.B. He discovered his true interest.C. He realized the importance of grades.D. He felt ashamed of his failing at MIT.BA new restaurant in Semarang, Indonesia named the Methane Gas Canteen,tries to support the poor by allowing them to pay for their food in a specialway.The restaurant, run by the couple Sarimin and Suyatmi, is located in an unexpected place ---Jatibarang Landfill( 垃圾填埋场) ,where Poor locals spendtheir days picking up plastic and glass to sell. The couple, who spent 40 years collecting waste before opening the restaurant, are now busy cooking.What makes the restaurant unusual is that poor people can pay for their food with recyclable waste instead of money. This is part of the community's solution to reducing waste in the landfill.The restaurant seats about 30 people and serves meals that cost between $0.4 and $0.8 each. Since opening the restaurant, Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen their daily income more than double to $15 a day, compared to when they only depended on picking up plastic and glass to sell.Agus Junaedi, the former manager of Jạtibarang Landfill, came up with the idea for the restaurant in 2017 when Semarang's mayor wanted him to reduce the amount of plastic waste in the landfill. 40% of the 800 tons of waste that is added to the site daily is plastic.The price of plastic was very low at that time and, as Junaedi said,“Naturally, no one wanted to collect plastic waste. So why don't we get the poor to pay for their meal with plastic waste? We hope people change their mind and see waste as a useful thing."Additionally, after a fire in 2017 destroyed nearly 10 acres of land, Junaedi realized that the methane g a s( 甲烷)in the landfill could be used in life. It is nowavailable to use free of charge for people around Jatibarang, as well as in the Methane Gas Canteen.24. What makes the restaurant special?A. Its location.B. Its delicious and cheap food.C. Its bosses experience and generosityD. Its way of charging customers.25. Why did people not want to pick up plastic waste in Semarang in 2017?A Plastic waste was too cheap then.B.There was little plastic waste in the landfill.C. No place wanted to recycle plastic waste.D. People thought plastic waste was of no value.26. Which of the following words can best describe Agus Junaedi?A Talented B. Creative C. Courageous D. GenerousCAn experimental cleanup device( 设备) called RemoveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net around a dummy ( 仿真的) satellite, imitating a techniquethat could one day collect space born garbage.The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration（展示）of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN.And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit, the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean.Guglielmo Aglitter, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the junk can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long.The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coming months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris.Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said “The challenge will lie in persuading the authorities to sponsor these ta sks.” Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.27. What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite?A. Demonstrating space technology.B. Imitating a developing technique.C. Collecting wastes existing in space.D. Symbolizing great progress in space.28. How does the RemoveDEBRlS satellite work?A. By throwing a net to take the junk from orbit.B. By fastening it to the main satellite tightly.C. By dragging satellites up to 10 meters long.D. By targeting large pieces of junk carefully.29. What does the underlined word “sponsor” in the last paragraph probablymean?A. Accomplish.B. Support.C. Oppose.D. Provide.30. What’s the best title for the text?A. The RemoveDEBRIS Project Is PerfectB. How RemoveDEBRIS Is Invented in the La bC.Why the RemoveDEBRIS Satellite Is Invented D.Satellite Collects Space Junk for the First Time第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AI waited in line for hours in Central Park for tickets to Shakespeare, so I could share my experience with you. I hope my experience will be helpful to you!1. Plan for the weather.You’ll be sitting outside for several hours waiting for tickets. If it’s going to be a sunny day, bring sun cream and water. If you think it might rain, bring your umbrella or raincoat. If the day promises to be unseasonably cool, you’ll be happy you’ve brought a sweater or jacket along.2. Keep yourself entertained.Bring an iPad, a good book, some magazines or even some work along with you to pass the time. You’ll be in line for about 3-4 hours, and you’ll be glad to have a crossword puzzle or other games to kill the time once the people-watching starts to get boring.3. Know the basics.Free tickets are being given out for the same day’s performance and the y are not changeable. That means if it rains, you’re out of luck. That also means that you have to wait for tickets in the morning and attend the evening’s performance the same night (Doors open around 8 p.m. for the 8:30 p.m. show.).4. Feeling fortunate? Enter the online ticket lottery(抽签获票).If you don’t want to spend several hours waiting in line for tickets, you can try your luck on the Internet. Once you set up your account, you can enter the online ticket lottery between midnight and noon. You’ll get an email message around noon if you’ve gotten tickets, and you can pick up your tickets at the Delacorte Theaterbetween 5:30 pm and 7:30 pm.1. Why is a crossword puzzle suggested by the author?A. To cool you down on a sunny day.B. To give you something to read.C. To entertain you while you are waiting.D. To make iPad games amusing .2. Which of the following is NOT allowed?A. Being seated for the evening show at 8:20 p.m.B. Changing your free tickets for another day.C. Getting free tickets in the rain.D. Trying your luck to get free tickets on the Internet.3. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?A. To give us some tips on buying online tickets.B. To make sure you are entertained while you are in line.C. To call on us to read more books about Shakespeare.D. To give practical advice about getting tickets.【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D【解析】这是一篇说明文。

21. What you have just read is a ________.A. noteB. reportC. scheduleD. poster22. What is going to take place on 2 February 2018?A. A big event to welcome a Chinese new year.B. A social gathering to raise money for wildlife.C. A party for close friends to meet and have fun.D. A meeting of Kwun Tong High School students.23.

It’s unnecessary to take soft drinks with you.C. Free digital cameras are provided for everybody.D. Festival food will be served without extra charge.BI left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start —there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other.You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal - that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck -of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own n ameon a contract（合同）of the publisher -to be a published writer - is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.25. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. I was waiting for good fortune.B. I was trying to find an admirable job.C. I was being aimless about a suitable job.D. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.26. The author decided to write a novel ______ .A. to finish the writing courseB. to realize her own dreamC. to satisfy readers’ wishD. to earn more money27.

These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet---as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never tou ch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It s trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter (散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesn’t a bsorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments (色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials---skin, fat, and more---and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see-through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-like (果冻状的) material and spread themselves over it.Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear: for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.29. According to Paragraph 1,transparent animals .A. stay in groupsB. can be easily damagedC. appear only in deep oceanD. are beautiful creatures30. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means .A. silentlyB. graduallyC. regularlyD. completely31. One way for an animal to become transparent is to .A. change the direction of light travelB. gather materials to scatter lightC. avoid the absorption of lightD. grow bigger to stop light32. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals .A. move more slowly in deep waterB. stay see-through even after deathC. produce more tissues for their survivalD. take effective action to reduce light spreadingDHaving a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn, but you’ll need some help and needto work extra hard. If you have a learning disability such as dyslexia or dyscalculia, remember that you are not slow or stupid.Learning disabilities can be genetic. That means they can be passed down in families through the genes, But kids today have an advantage over their parents. Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works, and it’s easier for kids to get the help they need.Dyslexia is a learning disability that means a kid has a lot of trouble reading and writing. Kids who have trouble with math may have dyscalculia. Other kids may have language disorders, meaning they have trouble understanding language and understanding what they read.It can be confusing, though. What qualifies as “trouble" enough to be diagnosed as a learning disability? Reading, doing math, and writing letters may be tough for lots of kids at first. But when those troubles don’t fade away and it’s really difficult to make any progress, it’s possible that the kid has a learning disability.Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting. You might feel different from everyone else. But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common. And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you’re facing, you’re on the right track. N ow, you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.But for this special help to really work, you’ll need to practice the new skills you’re learning. It may take a lot of efforts every day. That can be a challenge, but you can do it soon, y ou’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work: more fun and success at school.33. Children are likely to have a learning disability .A. if their parents have the same problemB. if they are not interested in a subjectC. if they don’t get hel p in timeD. if they don’t work hard34. How can you know if you have a learning disability?A. Your teacher says you are a slow student.B. You can’t make progress after hard work.C. You have trouble with some lessons at first.D. Your learning style is different from others.35. What’s the main purpose of the text?A. To find out the reasons for the learning disability.B. To get parents to know more about their children.C. To help people know and handle learning disability.D. To ask teachers to help students with learning disability.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In China, that all-or-nothing exam is the gaokao, the national college entrance examination known as the single-log bridge students have to carefully cross to reach the next stage of their lives.A Little Reunion, a hit TV drama that puts the spotlight on gaokao, came to an end on Tuesday, wrapping up heated discussions on social media over the past month.The drama attracts an audience of all age groups by focusing on three families — an optimistic couple with a poorly-performing son and a genius nephew; a divorced couple who later reunites for the sake of their daughter; and a pair of officials struggling to reconnect with their rebellious son after a six-year absence from his life.Many audience members took to social media, saying they also suffered from insomnia（失眠）ahead of gaokao like the character Yingzi did in the show, and confessing their mothers are also "control freaks" like Song Qian, Yingzi's mother."Once again I dreamt of sitting in the classroom to answer questions in the senior year of high school.

In some places, it is the only animal protein to be found. For years, scientists have worried about supplies of ocean fish. As wild catches have decreased, many nations have turned to fish farming.Fish farming has long been considered a way to improve the diets of people in developing areas,such as China,India, Japan and Thailand . The F.A.O.（联合国粮农组织）says developing nations produce ninety percent of all farmed fish.But there are some problems connected with fish farming. Some critics say it can cause not just water pollution. They say there is also "genetic pollution" when farmed fish reproduce with wild fish.Other critics say that farming some kinds of seafood is wasteful. They argue that salmon and eel, for example, eat more resources than they provide. Often they are fed with products prepared for wild fish.Also, a recent study of farmed salmon found that their food may contain higher levels of industrial pollution than salmon eat in the wild. But these levels were still well within legal limits.Another issue involves the lack of international rules about the use of antibiotics(抗生素) in farming. Some farmers feed these drugs to fish, just like cows and other animals, to prevent infections. The F.A.O. notes that there can be health risks to humans who eat the drugs through their food. Experts are concerned that this also reduces the effectiveness of antibiotics.The farmed fish industry is growing quickly in Asia. It is also growing in other parts of the world, including North America. But scientists say most kinds of wild fish have been harvested too much. Farmed fish can help reduce pressure on populations in the wild. Still, experts and organizations like the F.A.O. warn that just like any other kind of farming, good methods are required.7.The reason why fish framing began is that _____.A.fish has the most proteinB.fish is good for healthC.wild fish has decreasedD.fish farming is popular in developing countries8.According to the critics,which of the following statements they don’t agree with?A.Fish farming can not only result in water pollution,but change the genes of fish.B.Farmed fish eat both their supplies and food for wild fish.C.The antibiotics misuse does harm to human health.D.Farmed salmon eat food containing more industrial pollution than wild fish.9.What would the author discuss in the paragraph that follows?A.The rapid development of farmed fish.B.The harvest of wild fishC.The warnings from experts and organizationsD.The methods that would be taken to solve the problem10.What’s the best t itle of this passage?A.Fish Farming in some parts of the worldB.More Fishes demanded in the developing countriesC.The fish industry throughout the globeD.Ways of fishing in the world第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
