It was rush hour in the morning. Heather Sant, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on the road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son in the back. Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Sant turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda slide off the road and down an embankment (路堤) that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would take off and dive into the road some 20 feet below. Then a bit of luck: as the car raced toward the edge, its undercarriage got stuck, stopping it suddenly.
The people inside, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall (护墙), balancing on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could throw the car off balance and send it over. Jacob Rodriguez watched everything in terror from the nearby truck company where he works. As an experienced sailor, just like every time he met shipwreck, he whispered a sailing saying “Ship, shipmates, self”, then immediately he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched.
Meanwhile, Julio and his nephew Marco, were driving to their jobs at nearby Premier Automotive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while Marco went to the shop, grabbed a strong rope, and returned to the car. He tied the Mazda to an F-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out. But their departure shifted the cars weight, causing it to tip forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Sant to jump into the back seat. She did and then inched out of the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe.
“Another foot,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story.”
4. What most probably caused the traffic accident?
A. The Mazda was overloaded.
B. Sant was really speeding.
C. The wheel failed to work.
D. The pickup cut in abruptly.
5. Why did the men ask Sant to move to the back seat?
A. To keep the balance of the car.
B. To fasten the rope to the truck.
C. To open the back door of the car.
D. To help the men get off the trunk.
6. What does Rodriguez want to stress in the last paragraph?
A. The timely help offered by rescuers.
B. The excellent cooperation of all the people.
C. The serious danger the rescuers faced.
D. The dangerous position where the car stopped.
7. Which of the following statements is consistent with the theme of the passage?
A. Persistence will pay off.
B. Doing is better than saying.
C. One in trouble, all to help.
D. Many hands make light work.
C
Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change — to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their habitat site drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
8. What does the underlined word “poetry” most probably mean?
A. An unusual quality.
B. A natural scene.
C. A collection of poems.
D. An object for artistic creation.
9. What is the author’s opinion of artistic reality?
A. It will not be found in future works of art.
B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.
C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.
D. It is lacking in modern works of art.
10. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?
A. They express people’s curiosity about the past.
B. They make people interested in everyday experience.
C. They are considered important for variety in form.
D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.
11. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. History of the arts.
B. New developments in the arts.
C. Basic questions of the arts.
D. Use of modern technology in the arts.
D
For most of our history, humans have been short, a study has found. Until around 150 years ago, few people grew taller than 170 centimeters.
Christiane Scheffler at the University of Potsdam and Michael Hermanussen in Altenhof have spent several years studying the height of people from a wide range of populations. In their latest paper, they combined an existing data of more than 6000 prehistoric human skeletons with multiple studies of more recent historical populations from Europe and the US. They also included their own data on 1666 present-day school children from Indonesia.
In the prehistoric populations, the maximum height for men was 165 to 170 centimeters, while women topped out at 160cm. Today, men in England have an average height of around 175 cm, while for women it is about 162 cm.
But there is significant variation between modern countries. The Indonesian school children in the study were shorter than similarly aged children from the US, despite being well-nourished. Scheffler and Hermanussen argue that height can be a signal of dominance, so in societies where it’s possible to move up through the social classes, evolution favors individuals who reach a greater height.
Subramanian at Harvard University isn’t convinced by the pair’s interpretation. His team previously showed that the best predictor of a child’s height is the height of their parents. This suggests that the influence of other factors, such as social mobility, is limited.
After assessing nearly 163,000 children living in 55 low and middle-income countries, Subramanian’s team found that 42.9 percent had poor nutrition but no sign of stunting (阻碍发育) or other physical indicators of this fact. This implies there is a lot of hidden malnutrition (营养不良) that doesn’t reveal itself through stunting. A person’s nutritional condition should be assessed by looking at their diet not their height, says Subramanian.
12. How did Scheffler and Hermanussen conduct the research?
A. Studying the skeletons of prehistoric human.
B. Connecting existing data with recent research.
C. Assessing children living in various income areas.
D. Analyzing the results of other scientists’ research.
13. What is Subramanian’s attitude towards the explanation of Scheffler and Hermanussen?
A. Worried.
B. Cautious.
C. Supportive.
D. Doubtful.
14. What can we infer from Subramanian’s study?
A. Poor nutrition delays physical development.
B. A balanced diet contributes to growing taller.
C. A human’s height has little to do with nutrition.
D. High social classes can reach a greater height.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The significance that lies in nutrition.
B. The factors that influence human’s height.
C. The importance that humans attach to height.
D. The reasons why prehistoric humans were short.

Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m Li Hua, an outgoing girl will graduate from Hongxing Middle School. Learning that you are organizing the activity to share books worldwide, I am writing to apply to participate in the activity. The reason is because I love reading and I own a large number of books.
Wild release and controlled release are proposed, the latter of which won my favour. By means of controlled release, I merely need to deliver books directly to other participant. Accordingly, not only are books shared and it can build a bridge connected readers from a wide variety of countries.
Should you provide more specifically information, I would be more than very grateful. Looking forward to your reply in your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Possible version:
In recent years, many parents choose to accompany their children in studying, which has aroused a wide
concern.
These parents are willing to leave their hometown, even quit their jobs to follow their children into the
campus. Most of them rent an apartment nearby so as to take good care of their children. Parents consider it
necessary to offer better living conditions to the kids. Meanwhile, it can allow them to keep track of the kids’
academic performance. Nevertheless, what they’ve ignored is that it will get their kids into the habit of being dependent. Thus, they will never develop the ability of self-control in the future.
Trust leads to independence. So it seems to me that parents should create room for children’s growth and
study, in order to ensure their overall development.

What I am going to do today is just explain to you about some of the places here. If you look at the map on the screen, let me talk you through some of the places before describing them fully. Well, at present we are in the main lecture hall. If you go out of the main front entrance, then you’ll see opposite across the car park the entrance for the Students’ Union, which is center of a lot of university life for most students. About 150 meters on the left of the Students’ Union is the university library. Behind the library is the main dining hall where many students eat both lunch and dinner. On the other side the Students’ Union is a small church and behind the church there is a dormitory. There are three other dormitories behind the Students’ Union. Behind the main lecture hall we are in now is the sports hall and ground. You will find it all a bit confusing at first but you’ll get to know your way around very quickly.。
