Two weeks before my 12th birthday, my teacher asked me to conduct an experiment. When I mixed some powder together, they exploded. Molten lava hit me in the face, but I felt no pain.
I vividly remember standing there in a state of calmness. I thought I was in a dream, but however hard I struggled to swim to
the surface of consciousness, I couldn’t wake up.
I didn’t understand how terrifying it was until I heard people saying, “Who’s that?” That’s when I knew I was unrecognisable.
I was taken to hospital, but the doctors didn’t know what to do with me. Later I was flown to Houston for surgery. Betwe en the ages of 13 and 16, I had 40 operations. As each operation came and went, my vision would come back and then fade again. Eventually, it faded completely and I had what was left of my eyes removed for cosmetic（整形）reasons.
Since then, I have lived in total darkness. Most blind people, even if they don’t have any sight they’re aware of, are still able to perceive light. That gives them a sense of day and night. But not me. I absolutely lost that sense of time passing.
For many years, I felt my sight loss darkening my life lik e the loss of my parents from which I would never recover. But when I was in my 40s, I realised I had to find a way to live. I trained to become a counsellor, and that has helped me see my experiences in a different way. I ca n’t fix people’s broken lives—just like I can’t f ix my sight—but I can help them find a way to manage.
Sometimes it feels as if all the struggles and negative experiences I’ve lived through
were in fact a kind of preparation for helping others to make their own way towards the light.
24. When the explosion happened, the author felt ________.
A. cool
B. terrified
C. upset
D. anxious
25. What can we know from the passage?
A. The author lost her sight but her eyes remained.
B. The author recovered from her sight loss soon afterwards.
C. The author suffered a lot in her teens.
D. The author still has difficulty waking up from her dream.
26. What does the underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Predict.
B. Sense.
C. Watch.
D. Distinguish.
27. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To describe how hard a life the blind are living.
B. To suggest an attitude towards life through her story.
C. To encourage the disabled to be brave.
D. To blame the teacher for his irresponsibility.

In Ridley Scott’s science fiction drama The Martian, Matt Damon’s character plays a botanist who discovers how to grow potatoes on the Red Planet. Now, scientists are conducting an experiment that will bring them a step closer to making that a reality. NASA and the Peru-based International Potato Centre （CIP） will start growing potatoes in Mars-like conditions on Earth, with the hope of eventually building a controlled dome （穹顶）on Mars capable of farming the ancient crop. The team will replicate Martian atmospheric conditions in a laboratory, using soil from a desert in Peru—reportedly （复制）nearly identical to that found on the Red Planet. “The increased l evels of carbon dioxide will benefit the crop, whose yield is two to
four times that of a regular grain crop under normal Earth conditions. The Martian atmosphere is near 95 percent carbon dioxide, ”CIP explained in a recent report.
By understanding atmospheric changes on the surface of Mars, the team hopes it will help build more research centers on Earth. If successful, the experiment could see NASA pioneer space fanning for future manned missions to not just Mars, but other planets and moons in the s olar system. “The extraordinary efforts o f the team have set the bar for space farming. The idea of growing food for human colonies in space could be a reality very soon. ”said Chris McKay, a scientist from the NASA Ames Research Center.
A second goal of the project is to highlight the role of potatoes in improving global food security. “How better to learn about climate change than by growing crops on a planet that died two billion years ago?”said Joel Ranck, CIP’s Head of Communications. “We need people to understand that if we can grow potatoes in extreme conditions like those on Mars, we can save lives on Earth.”
The earliest known record of potatoes dates back to around 2500 BC when the Aymara Indians in modern-day Peru and Bolivia were growing the vegetable.
28. Why is Matt Damon mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To give an example.
B. To make a comparison.
C. To introduce the topic.
D. To recommend a movie.
29. Which factor on Mars benefits the growth of potatoes?
A. Soil.
B. Atmosphere.
C. Gravity.
D. Weather.
30. What’s Chris McKay’s attitude towards space farming?
A. Uninterested.
B. Doubtful.
C. Opposed.
D. Confident.
31. With his words in Para. 4, Joel Ranck is ________.
A. complaining about food security
B. explaining the effects of climate change
C. stressing the importance of the project
D. questioning the possibility of space fanning
D
Three-year-old Mica and her little sister got a tree house from their parents. It took them $28,000 to build it. The house is roughly three meters above ground, and the platform was built into two large trees. One of the things Mica’s parents also wanted was a little door within the big door. If they want to go up, there is a door handle for them, which is their height. And there is an adult size door as well. So we can make it more like a secret hideout to kids.
Balm Sundar and his wife Lakshmi came to America 20 years ago. Different from the Keenans, who built a tree house for their daughters, the Sundars had different thought. They said, “With beds, tables and window s, it’s a welcoming, comfortable space to spend a summer night. So, it was more of what I wanted the space to be than for the kids.”
Both of these amazing tree houses were created by Dan Wright. To help many Americans achieve their dreams is his dream, so he founded Tree Top Builders Inc. He has built more than 400 tree houses since he started the company in 2003. Dan Wright said, “The tree house is the right place where they can come and relax. Meanwhile kids are up, looking down and getting a new perspective on life. That’s why I think Americans particularly like tree houses most.”
Sandy Kiefer is a cello instructor. Her dream is to build three tree houses and use them for a bed and breakfast. “I am 63, almost 64. And peo ple say: ‘Are you crazy to start on a dream now?’ And I am saying: ‘Are you crazy not to start on a dream now?’”
But there is a problem too. As the tree grows, sometimes people need to move parts of the structure or cut parts of it away to give the tree room to grow each year. In spite of the problem, most Americans still want to own a tree house, because it is their American dream.
32. Unlike the Keenans, the Sundars ________.
A. sent their daughters a tree house
B. built a tree house for themselves
C. spent their summer night outdoors
D. wasn’t concerned about their kids
33. What is the purpose of Dan Wright in setting up Tree Top Builders Inc. ?
A. To make many Americans’ dream come true.
B. To make himself become a famous designer.
C. To get the tree houses liked by Americans.
D. To give more kids a relaxing place to rest.
34. Which of the following can best expres s Sandy Kiefer’s opinion?
A. It’s unreasonable for the old to have a dream.
B. Not all people can have a dream.
C. It’s never too late to change a dream.
D. It’s urgent for the old to realize their dreams.
35. What is the best title of the text?
A. Tree Houses—A Branch of American Dream
B. The Advant ages and Disadvantages of Tree Houses
C. The Way to Enjoy More Freedom and Independence
D. Dan Wright—the Founder of Tree Top Builders Inc.

What If We Don’t Get Along?
Teachers want to get along with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes（冲突）. 36
If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. Take these steps if the problem seems tough to solve:
1. Talk to an adult you trust, such as a parent, guidance counselor, or both.
2. 37 You may not feel immediately comfortable with your teacher, but that may change as you get to know one another.
3. If you’ve given it time, talk with your parents about what to do next. Lots of times,
a meeting can be set up to discuss the problem. 38 Everyone’s goal sh ould be to create trust and kindness.
Your relationship with a teacher is often your first chance to develop a “business relation ship”. Just like your parents have business relationships with the people they work with or the people who deliver the mail to your house, kids also can have these kinds of relationships. They are different from your family relationships and friendships, which are built on affection and love.
39 But they don’t necessarily need to be goo d friends or like each other a lot. They simply need to respect one another, be polite, and stay focused on the job at hand. In other words, they need to “get down to business”.
When you act this way, and remember that you’re not the only kid in the class, you are helping your teacher. 40
A. Give it time.
B. This may clear the air and make things better.
C. This can happen between any two people.
D. Some teachers rarely show respect towards their students.
E. Your teacher is likely to notice this and appreciate it.
F. A teacher does not necessarily answer all the questions his students ask.
G. In a business relationship, both parties get something out of the relationship.

Usually, being generous can make both the giver and the receiver happy, but I’m not happy today though I’m a giver. The following shows my 41 about what I did today.

During my stay in Canada, one of my foreign friends invited me to her home for Christmas. When I arrived, I received the warm welcome. But much to my relief, her family members were extreme friendly to me, which made me feel at home. What impressed me most was the Christmas tree that placed in the hall. Decorating with many colorful lights and star, it looked really beautiful. After dinner, they told me many interesting stories about Christmas that I have never heard of. It was not until midnight when we went to bed. However, I was too excited to fall into asleep, so I just lay in bed, wide awake. How an unforgettable Christmas it was!
