Sometimes people make history. George Washington became the first president of theUnited Statesand made history. Sometimes wars make history. The two World Wars are examples. Sometimes nature even becomes part of history. Shaking earthquakes are recorded in history books.
Sixteen years ago, nature caused just such a history-making event. In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina came ashore inNew Orleans,Louisiana. The deadly storm floodedNew Orleans. Before Katrina, no other big American city had ever flooded in the history of the country. This natural disaster caused great harm and death.
New Orleansis located below sea level. This location places it at great risk. Levees were built to protectNew Orleansfrom the ocean. (A levee is like a wall between the city and the ocean.) When Hurricane Katrina came ashore, water moved over the levees into the city. Flooding made it necessary for everyone to leave the city. Before Katrina, Creole food (a special kind of cooking only inLouisiana) filled the air with delicious smells. The sound of jazz music traveled through the streets. Now the city has to return to its former glory.
Before Katrina, ernment had never made everyone leave a city. People inNew Orleanshad to find shelter quickly. Some had to stay at theSuperdomeSportsCenter. Some rode on buses to other towns. Thousands drove their cars to get away from the storm. The roads and shelters filled up fast.
The lesson learned from Katrina was that cities must be better prepared for big storms and other terrible
disasters caused by nature. Being prepared might have kept more people safe. Hurricane Katrina is one of the history-making events that will be remembered forever. Today, history is still being made that will shape the future.
4. What does the author tell us aboutNew Orleans?
A. It was built above sea level.
B. It had few jazz musicians after Katrina.
C. It was the firstU.S.city that had been flooded.
D. It created a wholly new way to cook after Katrina.
5. What can we say about the levees?
A. They were almost useless for fighting Katrina.
B. They helped people leaveNew Orleansquickly.
C. They made NewOrleansa special American city.
D. They should be built to match the size ofNew Orleans.
6. What might the author advise city governments to do?
A. Put up more shelters in the city.
B. Build more levees around the city.
C. Teach people how to avoid floods.
D. Try to get ready for natural disasters.
7. What is the best title for the text?

Pigeons inLondonhave a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.
“The problem for air pollution is that it’s been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People don’t realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.”London’s poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing(引用)a report released by the city manager last year. If people were better informed about the pollution they’ re breathing, she says, they could pressure the government to do something about it.
Nearby, on a windy hill inLondon’s Regent’s Park, an experiment is underway that could help—the first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the director for DigitasLBi, a marketing firm,
won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter. Duquesnoy, fromFrance, chose the problem of air pollution.
“Basically, I realized how important the problem was,” he says. “But also I realized that most of the people around me didn’t know anything about it.” Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter.
“So”, he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his first thought. But it’s illegal to fly them overLondon. “But pigeons can fly aboveLondon, right?” he says. “They live—actually, they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low.”
So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the city’s air.
8. What can we infer aboutLondon’s air quality from Paragraph 2?
A. Londoners are very satisfied with it.
B. The government is trying to improve it.
C Londoners should pay more attention to it.
D. The government has done a lot to improve it.
9. Duquesnoy attended the London Design Festival to _________.
A. entertain Londoners.
B. solve a world problem.
C. design a product for sale.
D. protect animals like pigeons.
10. Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly acrossLondon?
A. Because they are too expensive.
B. Because they fly too quickly.
C. Because they are forbidden.
D. Because they fly too high.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Clean air inLondon.
B. London’s dirty secret.
C. London’s new pollution fighter.
D. Causes of air pollution inLondon.
D
Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people were always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research. Over the years I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in various
experiments.
In one of the experiments, I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, asking them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper, saying, “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and you will win $50.” This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more nervous than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to gatherings concentrating on finding their perfect partners and miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.
Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直觉), are open to new experiences, and adopt a never-say-die attitude that transforms bad luck into good luck.
12. What’s the purpose of the author’s research?
A. To discover what luck means to people.
B. To find lucky people and unlucky people.
C. To distinguish between good luck and bad luck.
D. To figure out why people are always lucky or unlucky.
13. Why did the unlucky people miss the message in the experiment?
A. There was too much information to be read in detail.
B. They were too focused on looking for photographs.
C. It took too much time to go through newspapers.
D. The words were too small to be noticed.
14. What leads to lucky people’s good fortune?
A. Their ability to spot opportunities.
B. Their ability to become relaxed.
C. Their ability to communicate.
D. Their ability to make friends.
15. What’s the key message of the last paragraph?
A. What lucky people are looking for.
B. How lucky people generate good luck.
C. What lucky people can do with opportunities.
D How lucky people transform bad luck into good luck.

Nowadays, it’s a common phenomena that parents drive their children to school, what I think is not proper.
First, our parents’ driving us to school without doubt can increase their burden physical and financially. It’s waste of time and energy as well. What’s worst, it’s very likely to cause traffic jams if all parents drive their children to school. On the other hand, it can have some of us depend on parents all the time, which was not good for us to learn to be independence.
To conclude, I strongly advocate that our students go to school on foot or by bike, benefiting from our health and growth. Only in this way can we improve our abilities to overcoming problems on our own.

52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Carter enjoyed riding the school bus home. The ride home gave him some time to relax after a busy day of fifth grade. He usually sat alone and enjoyed that too. With four siblings (兄妹) he didn't get much time alone. Sometimes he sat with his younger brother, Jackson, but Jackson was sick at home today.
The bus stopped and the tallest boy in his class, Dexter, stepped off followed by his younger brother, Billy. As the bus pulled away, Carter looked back over his shoulder to watch the boys. Dexter was yelling and waving his hands at his little brother. Billy said something Carter could not hear. Dexter yelled, gave his younger brother a hard shove and knocked him to the ground. Billy was on the ground wiping at his eyes, but Dexter walked away.
Carter turned in his seat, feeling disgusted. He hated seeing little kids get picked on (欺负).The sight of Billy on the ground crying was burned into his memory. He tried to think of something else.
He thought of the model car he was working on at home, a 1967 Corvette. He started building it over a week ago and just finished putting it together last night. Tonight, as soon as he finished his homework, he could start painting the car. That was his favorite part. He already had the perfect color1 of blue picked out.
He hurried off the bus, ran through his yard, and breezed through the kitchen with a quick hello to his mom. She was making spaghetti, which smelled delicious. He ran up the stairs two at a time and rushed into his room.
“Surprise!” his brother Jackson said, throwing his arms into the air. "What are you doing in my room? I thought you were sick!”
“I feel better!”
"What's on your face? Are you bleeding?"
"No! I'm not bleeding." Jackson wiped at his face, probably just paint. Look! Look what I did!” He pointed at the desk in the comer of Carter's room.
