21．（6分）The catastrophic minor planet crash that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago may not have been so destructive had it hit almost anywhere else on earth according to a new research by Japanese scientists Kunio Kaiho and Naga Oshima, who published their findings Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports. It means dinosaurs could still rule the earth and humans may never have evolved at all.
The roughly six mile (10km) wide planet created a crater (坑) more than 110 miles (176km) across when it smashed into our planet. The collision released more than 1 billion times as much energy as the atomic bomb explosion which destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the close of World War Ⅱ.
More than 75 percent of all land and sea animals, the most famous of which being dinosaurs, were wiped out as a result. Huge volumes of ash, soot and dust shot into the atmosphere, blocking as much as 80 percent of precious sunlight from reaching the surface of the planet.
The pair believe the key ingredient in the extinction was the soot, which was produced when the crash lighted rocks loaded with hydrocarbon molecules (碳氢化合物分子) such as oil. However, the amount of hydrocarbon in rocks varies widely depending on their location. With this in mind, the team set about analysing places on Earth where the rocks have a high hydrocarbon molecule content.
They found that only about 13 percent of the planet have such an environment, essentially meaning that the dinosaurs were unlucky when the minor planet hit in such a hydrocarbon rich area.
“The catastrophic chain of events could only have occurred if the minor planet had hit the hydrocarbon-rich areas occupying approximately 13 perc ent of the Earth’s surface,” the scientists wrote in a university press release.
It’s a good thing for humanity, however, or else we may never have evolved in the first place.
1、According to the text, if the minor planet hit somewhere else on earth .
A．it would wipe out dinosaurs
B．it would wipe out the citizens living on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki
C．human could rule the earth
D．dinosaurs could continue to rule the earth
2、The atomic bomb explosion at World War II was mentioned to describe .
A．the size of the minor planet B．the weight of the minor planet
C．the power of the minor planet D．the history of the minor planet
3、Which of the following directly caused the extinction of dinosaurs?
A．The hydrocarbon molecules contained in the oil.
B．The rocks with a low hydrocarbon molecule content.
C．The soot produced during the crash.
D．The area where the minor planet crashed.
22．（8分）“This way, everyone.” said the young Bahamian as he led the way to the hoar. As the boat moved over the waves, I thought back eleven years to my first island visit via a cruise ship. As we landed, I noticed a sign advertising swimming with dolphins. I looked at my mother; she knew exactly what I wanted, but I was too young. “Maybe some other time,” she said. I think ever yone knows that those four words usually translate to never. It made me, a little boy, depressed for many days. From that day on, it was my dream to swim with those gentle creatures.
Now, after 15 minutes of travelling, we reached the Sanctuary Bay. As we arrived, I saw the gray creatures showing off their unique talent before my eyes. We were led off the boat, past a back building. Our guide told us we would have the pleasure of spending the next 90 minutes with Kaholo, a young male, and Robola, the largest female, who is quite famous for having played the lead in the film Zeus and Roxanne.
My father and I were joined by four others and followed the man once more. He told us to jump into the water while he let the dolphins into that part of the bay. For the first 20 minutes, we could go anywhere and touch the dolphins as they swam by.
Kaholo and Robola must have known I was their biggest fan because they swam towards me as if I had had fish. After the introductory period, they jumped over our heads. I got a hug and kiss from Robola, and also learned how to have Kaholo talk to me.
This was by far the most magical experience of my life. Next time your parents say “Maybe some other day”, have faith in them. Your dreams are important to them too, and they will do whatever they can to make it possible, because dreams can come true.
1、What was the author’s dream according to the text?
A．Travelling with his parents.
B．Swimming with dolphins.
C．Visiting the Sanctuary Bay.
D．Watching a film played by dolphins.
2、How did the author feel after the first island visit?
A．Excited. B．Puzzled.
C．Unhappy. D．Energetic.
3、What did Kaholo and Robola do during the visit?
A．They stayed away from the author.
B．They learnt to have a talk to the author.
C．They had special interes t in the author’s fish.
D．They showed a friendly attitude towards the author.
4、What’s the best title for the text?
A．Dreams Do Come True
B．Play with Dolphins
C．My Parents’ Promise
D．The First Island Visit

（10分）The thing that sets children apart from adults is not their ignorance，nor their lack of skills．Rather，25．
it's their enormous capability for joy．A friend told me a story．One day，when she went to get his 6-year-old son from soccer practice，her kid greeted her with a sad face．The teacher had criticized him for not focusing on his soccer drills．The little boy walked out of the schoo1 with his head and shoulders hanging down．He seemed wrapped in sadness．But before reaching the car door，he suddenly stopped，crouching(蹲伏)down to look at something on the sidewalk．“Mom，come here! This is the strangest bug I’ve ever seen．It has ，1ike，a million legs．It’s amazing!”The little face was overflowing with indescribable excitement．
Nowadays，however，when we walk into a classroom，especially in a high school，we’ll be choked by towering books and papers，and hiding behind them are a group of motionless creatures，pens in hand，minds dry，just as the hollow men portrayed by T．S．Eliot．Their pursuit of joy has given way to their hunger for grades．Laughter and happiness are a distant memory for them．
Although joy is an unaffordable luxury in today’s increasingly fierce competition，administrators and teachers need a mindset shift from crushing students with assignments to getting them to take pleasure in productive activities which develop their important qualities，like perseverance and obligation．The assumption that pleasure is the enemy of competence and responsibility makes no sense educationally．
Adults tend to talk about learning as if it were medicine：unpleasant，but necessary and good for you．Why not think of learning as if it were food—something so valuable to humans that they want to experience it as a pleasure?
1、How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?
A．By describing a procedure．B．By analyzing the process．
C．By giving an example．D．By collecting data．
2、What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A．Summarize the previous paragraph．B．Provide some advice for the readers．
C．Introduce the main topic for discussion．D．Clarify some puzzling questions．
3、What does the text suggest administrators and teachers do?
A．Stop giving students homework．
B．Involve students in meaningful activities．
C．Supply students with luxuries．
D．Arouse students’fond memories．
4、What is the text mainly about?
A．Joy is the spokesperson for learning．B．Pleasure is the enemy of progress．
C．Education is the paradise for parents．D．Exams are a never-ending war．

Back to School Reform
For schools in the New York City, this school year was met by a particular reform issue. It began in June of 2018, when, as part of an effort to fight the enduring problem of segregation(种族隔离), Mayor Bill de Blasio announced his intention 1．the testing requirement should be discontinued for admission to the city’s eight selective “élite” high schools. Then, late last month, the Advisory Group released a report 2．(suggest) that the city rethink its entire approach 3．identifying and educating high-achieving children. More accurately, it recommended replacing the

29、Dear David,
I’m glad that you’re interested in the op tional courses in our school. Students in our school are free to choose some special courses according to their interest. There are many courses for them to choose from, such as English drama, or model making. Here is more information.
If you want to improve your oral English, English drama may be the first choice. It is a good chance to practice not only oral English, but also performing skills. What about model making? You will be amazed by the science world and become interested in it.
For me, a painting course can be added, because some of the students like drawing so much. I hope these courses would be helpful and each student would enjoy a bright and colorful school life here!
Looking forward to your reply.
