A
In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an“F”on it. The teacher told her it was a“fairy tale”. Jean was heartbroken and ashamed. As the years went by, Jean was beaten down by the discouragement and negativity she encountered whenever she talked about her dream. “Girls can’t become airline pilots; never have, never will. You’re crazy. That’s impossible. ”Finally Jean gave up.
In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was Mrs Dorothy Slaton, a demanding teacher with high standards. One day Mrs Slaton asked this question, “If you had unlimited finances, unlimited access to the finest schools, unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do? ”Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream.
The next thing that Mrs Slaton said changed the course of Jean’s life. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, “I have a little secret for you. You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When y ou leave school, if you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough. ”
The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared all of a sudden. Jean felt thrilled and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs Slaton slapped the desk top. “Then do it! ”she said.
So Jean did. It didn’t happen overnight. In her 10 years of hard work, even facing varieties of laugh, frustration and opposition, she never gave up her dream. Instead, she went on doing everything her third-grade teacher said was fairy-tale.
Eventually, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for the United Airline
Company.
【文章大意】Jean在三年级的时候写下理想, 然而小学老师却说她的梦想是不切实际的。

后来在高中老师的鼓励下, Jean通过努力实现了梦想。

1. Jean’s third-grade teacher thought her dream to be______.
A. great
B. impossible
C. challenging
D. reasonable
【解析】选B。

细节理解题。

由“The teacher told her it was a“fairy tale”. ”可知, 当时她的老师认为这是一个童话, 因此是“不可能的”。

2. Mrs Slaton may hold the view that______.
A. only some of her students have great potential
B. her students are good enough to be admitted to the best schools
C. belief contributes to realizing a dream
D. Jean was to have her dream realized
【解析】选C。

推理判断题。

由斯莱顿老师的问题和后来与琼的对话可以看出, 她鼓励琼去实现自己的梦想, 如果自己不努力, 自己的梦想没有人会帮自己实现。

所以她应该会同意“信仰有助于实现梦想”这句话。

3. According to the passage, we can infer that______.
A. Jean’s dream was always in her deep heart
B. Jean owed her success to all her teachers
C. most people around Jean approved of her dream
D. Jean achieved her dream with ease
【解析】选A。

推理判断题。

由第二段最后一句可知, 琼一直把这个梦想压在心底, 所以是“old dream”。

并且之后她一直在坚持自己的梦想。

4. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. A Respectable Teacher
B. How to Realize a Dream
C. Hard Work Pays off
D. Reach for the Sky
【解析】选D。

标题归纳题。

文章主要写了Jean受到鼓励努力实现自己成为飞行员的梦想的故事。

因此“触及天空”最为贴近“飞行”的主题。

B
Bonfire Night
Guy Fawkes Day or Bonfire Night is the celebration of the failing of the Gunpowder Plot of November 5, 1605, when Guy Fawkes and a number of Catholic conspirators, inspired by him, tried to blow up the House of Parliament in London. Their plan was to kill James I, the King of England and his family together with the majority of English aristocracy.
This yearly event seems most probable that people admire Fawkes’daring to blow up the Parliament, rather than the fact that his plot failed and he was caught. At the very beginning the Guy Fawkes Day was celebrated only in the United Kingdom, and then in the former British colonies and some regions of Canada.
In Sussex, a historic region in South East England, Guy Fawkes Day is a major festival that centers in Lewes, nowadays a tourist-orientated town. The town centre is closed during the festival and the night begins with costumed torchlight processions organized by local bonfire societies, responsible for the bonfire festivals in Sussex.
In Ottery St Mary, in Devon, there is an old tradition held on November 5th each year, which originated in the 17th century. Weeks before the Guy Fawkes’ night, barrels are soaked with tar. Then, on November 5th, barrels are lit and when the fire begins to pour out, local men lift and carry them on their backs and shoulders. There are also women’s and boy’s barrels on the streets, but they are not as heavy as men’s are, which by the midnight can weigh at least 30 kilos. And people are waiting on the streets to feel the hot touch of the barrels’flame. It is said that the burning barrels cleanse the streets of evil spirits.
In some parts of England autumn fireworks and bonfires are commonly associated with Halloween. This is also the reason why the night of November 5th is less celebrated in Northern Ireland. In the English West Country there is an annual celebration, named the West Country Carnival, with parades of illuminated floats in each town, which lit both sides of it. This celebration also dates back to the Gunpowder Plot of November 5, 1605, and has turned into a major regional festival.
【文章大意】本文主要讲述盖伊·福克斯之夜(或篝火节之夜, Guy Fawkes Night), 是英国的传统节日, 当今在各地庆祝这一节日的形式等情况。

5. According to the text, Bonfire Night was held to______.
A. honor Fawkes for his courage
B. celebrate the failure of Fawkes’ plot
C. show pity for Fawkes’ being caught
D. have a chance to play with fire works
【解析】选A。

6. How do people start Bonfire Night in Sussex?
A. By holding large public fireworks display.
B. By starting a torchlight procession.
C. By having family bonfires first.
D. By enjoying bonfires in large communities.
【解析】选B。

细节理解题。

7. In Devon, people celebrate Bonfire Night by______.
A. burning the streets of evil spirits
B. lighting some heavy barrels
C. carrying some burning barrels
D. touching the flames of burning barrels
【解析】选C。

8. What does the underlined word “illuminated” mean?

【参考范文】
It’s known to us all that environmental pollution is becoming a serious problem now. So how should we do to improve it?
From my point of view, everybody is responsible for environmental protection, so we should do our share by disposing of all our litter and waste in the correct, legal way, recycling materials and conserving water and electricity. And also we can plant more trees to reduce pollution. What’s more, never will we use things
like paper cups or disposable chopsticks because they are made of wood.
I believe that doing all these small things will improve our environment and help make our world better to live in.。
