厦门一中2024届高三年英语科期中考试卷英语试卷含答案解析
厦门一中2024届高三年英语科期中考试卷英语试卷一、阅读理解(共30 分)FIVE UNUSUAL SPORTSWhat sports are you into? Football? Tennis? Swimming? If you’re looking for a change, you might like to try one of these.OctopushOctopush (or underwater hockey as it’s also known) is a form of hockey that’s played in a swimming pool. Participants wear a mask and snorkel and try to move a puck (水球) across the bottom of a pool. The sport has become popular in countries such as the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. An ability to hold your breath for long periods of time is a definite plus.ZoobombingZoobombing involves riding a children’s bike down a steep hill. The sport originated in the US city of Portland in Oregon in 2002. Participants carry their bikes on the MAX Light Rail and go to the Washington Park station next to Oregon Zoo (which is why it’s called “zoobombing”). From there, they take a lift to the surface, and then ride the mini-bikes down the hills in the area.Office Chair RacingOffice Chair Racing consists of racing down a hill in office chairs that can reach speeds of up to30kph. Strict rules are in place for competitors: they’re allowed to fit in-line skate wheels and handles to their chairs, but no motors. “We check each chair carefully in advance,”one of the organizers explained. The participants race in pairs wearing protective padding as they launch themselves from a ramp (坡道). Prizes are given to the fastest competitors and also for the best-designed chairs.Fit 4 DrumsFit 4 Drums is a new form of cardio-rhythmic exercise. Led by an instructor, the class involves beating a specially-designed drum with two sticks while dancing at the same time. It’s the first group fitness activity where you get to play a drum while getting an intense workout. A sense of rhythm is a definite advantage!Horse BoardingHorse Boarding involves being towed behind a horse at 35mph on an off-road skateboard. Professional stuntman Daniel Fowler Prime invented the sport after he strung a rope between his off-road “mountain board” and a horse. Participants stand on a board while holding onto a rope, attemptingto maintain their balance as the horse gallops (疾驰) ahead. “The horse rider and the horse have to work together because if they don’t, the horse goes flying,”Daniel explained.So, which sport would you like to try?1. What do you need to do if you want to play Octopush?A.Swim on the surface of the water.B.Hold your breath before the sport.C.Play it by the side of the seashore.D.Wear underwater breathing devices.2. Which activity will you choose if you want to take part in collective fitness?A.ZoobombingB.Office Chair RacingC.Fit 4 DrumsD.Horse Boarding3. What proverb does Horse Boarding tell us?A.The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.B.Never let your feet run faster than your shoes.C.The bigger they come, the harder they fall.D.Every chess master was once a beginner.【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B【导语】这是一篇说明文。

AOld Computers Make for Unhappy WorkersLONDON (Reuters)-----Dealing with the dissatisfaction of aging and unreliable office computers leads to workers,unhappiness and more sick -leave, a survey showed on Wednesday.A survey carried out by carefree. net of over 2, 700 European office workers from theUK,France and Germany found that workplace dissatisfaction increased greatly with the age of the computer equipment.“We do know that job satisfaction is falling in Britain and most advanced nat ions, "said Stephen White, a researcher from the Work Foundation. “The actual reasons for this are the subject of very heated discussion. It's certainly one interesting theory that technology may be the cause of this in some way,”White added.A quarter of those using outdated computers in Britain said they were"quite" or " very dissatisfied"with their everyday job compared to 16 percent of those who had enjoyed an advantage from up-to-date technology.The survey also said that among workers dealing with outdated equipment, there was a 35 percent greater probability they would take six or more days of sick-leave per year compared withthe average worker. In France, where more workers use old computers, the probability jumped to 55 percent.Results also showed that women in the three countries were more likely to be using outdated equipment. In the UK, where more workers have up-to-date computers than in the other countries surveyed, the number of women using old equipment doubled that of men.White pointed out that there were two sides to this problem, saying that continuously having to deal with new technology and equipment cap also be a source of worry. "Old and faulty equipment is a major cause of office dissatisfaction. There is no question about it; but you also have to say that the frequent change of equipment is also, or could be, a main cause of dissatisfaction.”1. The underlined word"this"(paragraph 3) refers to____________.A. computer use in most jobsB. workplace dissatisfactionC. the aging of office computersD. the survey by cared free. net2. How many office workers using old computers in Britain expressed their dissatisfaction?A. 16%.B. 35%.C. 25%.D. 55%.3. According to White, why were the women surveyed more likely to use old computers?A. Most office workers use old computers.B. They do some of their work with computers.C. They are easier to be satisfied with new technology.D. Dealing with new equipment can cause anxiety.4. What is the subject of the news story?A. Influence of technology in the workplace.B. Research work of the Work Foundation.C. Poor working conditions in offices.D. Different attitudes to old computers.【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 4. A【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。

But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.The first is called the "tank test". Modem airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into theplane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure （结构）of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would be anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot's job to find out how he can get control of the plane again.These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.36. By doing the "tank test", the engineers can find out ________.A. the strength of the plane structureB. the amount of air in the planeC. the pressure inside and outside the planeD. the power of the airplane engines37. According to the text, why are test flights most dangerous?A. The plane may explode in the air.B. The pilot may lose control of the plane.C. The engines may be damaged.D. Too much air may get into the plane.38. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Two Important Tests on AirplanesB. The Importance of Flying SafelyC. The Danger of Testing AirplanesD. How Airplane Are Made and TestedBI live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a splendid, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate (等同于)happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more lasting emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often though that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells“happiness”.But in memoir（回忆录）after memoir, they reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism ,drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage, if he‟s honest, and he will tell yo u that he is afraid of making a commitment, for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they can. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night‟s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don‟t k now any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating（解放性的）realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.39. We can learn from the passage that________.A. happiness is lasting whereas fun is short-livedB. fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happinessC. fun creates long-lasting satisfactionD. fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness40. To the author, the role Hollywood stars play is to________.A. write memoir after memoir about their happinessB. teach people how to enjoy their livesC. tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with funD. bring happiness to the public instead of going to parties68. In the author‟s opinion, marriage________.A. affords greater funB. leads to raising childrenC. indicates duty and devotionD. usually ends up in pain69.Which of the following is the best example of “painful happiness”?A. Winning lottery by accidentB. A bachelor resisting marriageC. Raising childrenD. Buying some fancy clothes70. If one gets the true sense of happiness, he will________.A. stop playing games and joking with othersB. use his time to increase happinessC. give a free hand to moneyD. keep himself with his familyCI love slipping into a comfortable chair for a long read — as I relax44. This passage most probably is a (n) _____.A. news storyB. advertisementC. lab reportD. letter of thanks45. From the passage we learn that Mindle is a device which _____.A. has neither wires nor weightB. is operated by a computerC. can find a book within one minuteD. disappears while you read46. With the device, the reader is able to _____.A. enjoy reading when driving a carB. improve reading skillsC. gain access to free softwareD. get rid of heavy books made of paper47. Different from mobile phones, Mindle _____.A. doesn‟t involve regular feesB. can work in the absence of electricityC. has a much more friendly screenD. is wireless and can be used anywhereDA current topic of debate is the amount of support and services we are willing to provide for disabled people. Many people believe that society has become more caring over the ages. However, if we look back in time, this may not prove to be true. A good example can be found by looking at some remains of a prehistoric culture.Several skeletons（骨骼）were found in the Shanidar Cave in Iraq. It was the home of a tribe of Neanderthal who existed more than 40000 years ago. One of these skeletons was of a man of about 40 years, an old age for that period. He is thought to have been killed by a falling stone. Careful study of the bones has shown that the man's right arm had never fully developed and had been cut off below the elbow（肘）. The condition of the teeth was also unlike that of other Neanderthal men's. They showed signs of excessive（过多的）use, as if they had been employed to make up for the lack of a right arm.How could someone so disabled from his earliest years have survived to become an adult, and even live on to old age? Societies in such early times faced severe conditions. People who could hunt for meat were few. A handicapped person must have needed to keep close to the cave and been provided with meat. This seems to indicate a far greater degree of concern for the individual than previously assumed.In fact, the level of care shown toward this tribesman is not always seen in present-day societies. Such concern indicates a sense of unity and cooperation that made possible the future achievements of humanity. With this in maid, are we doing enough for the disabled? Rather than being too proud of the efforts that modern society has made, it would be wise to consider if we even equal the efforts of "pre-civilized" societies.48. Considering the remains of this prehistoric culture makes us_____.A. believe that society has become more caring over time.B. look back at Iraq history with admirationC. question if society has become more concerned about the disableD. want to give more support to primitive societies.49. The lower right arm of the Shanidar tribesman is thought to have been_____.A. destroyed by a falling stoneB. not unlike that of the other Neanderthal men‟sC. unnecessary since he could use his teethD. removed because of a lack of physical development50. The example of this ancient tribe suggests that _____.A. everyone could take part in most of the hunting activitiesB. it was easy to find enough meat to feed everybodyC. life was not as difficult as modern man may thinkD. they had greater regard for human life than commonly thought51. The author believes that true civilization is achieved _____.A. only if society supports all its membersB. by modern people taking pride in their accomplishments "pre-civilized" peopleC. by looking to the future achievements of humanityD. only when we show proper concern forEThere is a big distinction between working hard and being a workaholic.Working hard involves being organized, focused, getting a lot of work done, knowing when to stop, and having a life other than work. Workaholics, on the other hand, are often disorganized, always find reasons for working more, feel lost without work to do, hide from problems through work, don't know how or when to relax, bring work home from the office, can't communicate well with fellow workers and family members, and have unbalanced, one-dimensional lives.Workaholics, like those who are constantly drunk, suffer from a controlling habit, usually defined as compelling(强烈的) behavior despite negative consequences. They are sometimes pushed into their habit by their work beliefs, by workaholic role models, and by a work system that automatically sanctions workaholism. Despite lip service to the contrary(“a balanced employee is a productive employee”), most employers want loyal employees to work longer hours, rewarding them with higher pay and better benefits. In many companies, workers unwilling to burn the midnight oil are at risk. Certainly, they endanger their jobs by working normal hours. Americans tend to become trapped in a working and spending consumption mode, driven by merchants, that leads them to rack up(累积) their expectations.According to some psychology counselors, workaholism can be both good and bad for us. It can fuel a sense of self-worth and accomplishment. And we get paid for it and praised for it, which produces good feelings we may not necessarily be able to get in other parts of our lives. As a matter of fact, workaholism is a problem that has been evident since the Stone Age. And psychology counselors have noticed three types of workaholice who generally share the same traits.52. The second paragraph is mainly about _________．A．the definition of workaholicsB．the similarity between working hard and workaholicsC．the disadvantages of workaholismD．the difference between working hard and workaholics53．Which of the following is NOT the characteristics of workaholics?A．They often deal with their work in a disorganized way.B．They often drink a lot and always get drunk at work.C．They are sometimes driven to work by a controlling habit.D．They can not balance their work with family life well.54．The underlined sentence probably means that _________．A．many workers risk their lives to work until midnight for their companiesB．many workers unwilling to work into the night endanger their companiesC．company workers working late into the night are in danger of turning workaholicsD. workers unwilling to work until late at night get fired easily in many companies55. What is likely to be talked about in the following paragraph?A．The typical character of workaholics.B．The positive effects of workaholism.C．The negative effects of workaholism.D．Three different types of workaholics.第四部分完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）It was the night before the composition was due.

Even when their gut(直觉)is telling them thatuncomfortable. For this reason, parents need to work with their teens to establish boundaries with others.Although boundaries are different for everyone, when done correctly, they help teens set limits with others in order to protect themselves. Setting boundaries allows teens to communicate with other people about what is OK and what is not OK with them and is important to teen friendships.What are boundaries? Boundaries are limits teens establish in order to protect themselves in some way from being hurt, manipulated(操纵), or taken advantage of. As an expression of self-worth, boundaries let other people know who they are, what they value, and how they want to be treated. Additionally, boundaries help to create space between teens and other people when they need it.Learning how to set boundaries - both physical and emotional - is an important part of growing up. It’s also essential to developing friendships that are respectful, supportive and healthy.Unfortunately, though, many teens have trouble setting boundaries with their friends; and when this happens, it puts them at risk for everything from unhealthy friendships to bullying(霸凌) or abuse.Of course, setting boundaries isn’t easy. It’s uncomfortable and forces a teen to stand up for themselves. What’s more, communicating boundaries to other people can make for difficult conversations or uncomfortable situations. Yet, it’s one of the most important thingsthat teens need to learn how to do.4．Which of the following best explains “crossing a line” underlined in paragraph 1?A．Sharing secrets.B．Keeping in touch.C．Behaving properly.D．Going beyond accepted limits.5．What do boundaries show about teens?A．Their values and self-worth.B．Their levels of independence.C．Their ability to manipulate others.D．Their physical and mental health.6．What does the author think of setting boundaries?A．Easy.B．Rewarding.C．Boring.D．Unnecessary. 7．What is probably talked about following the last paragraph?A．The benefits of setting boundaries.B．The possible results of breaking boundaries.C．Strategies for effectively setting boundaries.D．The role of parents in helping teens set boundaries.Andrea Speranza wanted to be a firefighter long before she had the right word for her wish. After one childhood adventure at a construction site ended with an iron nail embedded (嵌入) in her leg and an emergency call to the fire department, she found herself in awe. “As they gave me the medical treatment, I thought they could help everybody and do anything,” says the now 52-year-old.In 2000, Andréa Speranza achieved her dream of becoming a firefighter joining the Halifax Regional Fire Service. Her job was exactly as satisfying as she imagined it would be, except for one thing: she still hadn’t seen another woman in her role — not in a magazine, not on television, not in real life. Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they, too, could have a career like hers.The result was Camp Courage, a program for girls aged 15 to 19 who want to learn more about firefighting. In 2006, Speranza and about 20 volunteers welcomed their first 17 participants, recruiting (招募) attendees through advertising in schools. Over the course ofeight days, the girls discovered the ins and outs of being first. responders: learning how to put out fires, deliver first aid and even use the jaws of life (救生钳) on a car.Camp Courage now runs one session every year in Halifax and is free to attend. To offset costs, Speranza and her fellow campers fundraise by holding everything from car washes to comedy nights. Hopeful campers must also submit an essay describing how they plan to help their community, or a specific individual in need. And they have to deliver on the plan—from building a bench for a senior at a bus stop to launching a local chapter of the Kids Help Phone.Hundreds of girls have passed through Camp Courage, and 36 percent are doing exactly what 52-year-old Speranza hoped they would: working as first responders across the country. This past summer, the camp held its first session for young women in Halifax, as well as its first national camp in Calgary with plans to roll out more in 2023.8．What do we know about Speranza?A．She became a firefighter in her fifties.B．She suffered great pain due to an accident!C．She helped many young girls attend school.D．She found her job as a firefighter undesirable.9．What inspired Speranza to start Camp Courage?A．Her family members’ advice.B．Her unrealized ambitions.C．Growing social demands.D．Great lack of female firefighters. 10．Which of the following can best describe Speranza?A．Intellectual and humorous.B．Courageous and inspiring.C．Creative and influential.D．Knowledgeable and ambitious. 11．What can we learn from Speranza’s story?A．Custom makes all things easy.B．The early bird catches the worm.C．Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.D．A bird in the hand is worth than two in the bush.On Saturday 24 August 1918, it was raining cats and dogs and thundering over a city called Sunderland on the northeast coast of England. The storm lasted for only about ten minutes. People were surprised to see that it was not just rainwater falling from the sky. Therewere fish falling down, too! People came out to find out what was happening. They could not believe their own eyes. There were thousands of fish—sand eels (沙鳗)—lying on the ground. They were about seven centimeters long, and all were frozen solid (冻成硬块).Sand eels swim together in large groups, often in sandy water, and are often found in large numbers in the North Sea, which reaches out to the east of Sunderland. How was it possible for these sand eels to fall from the sky and land on Sunderland?Scientists believed the heavy thunderstorm that afternoon may have caused a waterspout (水龙卷). Waterspouts can be formed when strong winds move quickly in a circle over water. They are so powerful that anything less than one meter in length can be taken into them and forced into the clouds. The clouds carry whatever has been taken into them for long distances —sometimes over 150 kilometers. It’s very cold up there and everything soon freezes solid.For hundreds of years there have been reports of small animals being taken into the sky through waterspouts. In 2009, dead tadpoles rained down on the city of Nanao in Japan. In 2012, fifty kilos of prawns fell from the sky over Sri Lanka. In 2017, fish fell on the coastal city of Tampico in Mexico.It must be a very strange experience to see fish raining down on you. It would probably hurt if one fell on your head! With climate (气候) change and many reports of terrible storms, will the time ever come when it may really begin to rain cats and dogs?12．What do we know about the sand eels that landed on Sunderland?A．They were few in number.B．They came in different sizes.C．They were still alive when landing.D．They probably came from the North Sea. 13．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Clouds.B．Waterspouts.C．Strong winds.D．The waters of the sea.A．raining sea animals is not new in history B．the environment is not pleasant in Japan C．waterspouts can reach as far as Japan D．different animals can fall in different countries15．In the end, what does the author probably care most about?A．Our health.B．Our environment.C．The wild animals.D．The newsreports.二、七选五Signs That You Are GrowingGrowing is a lifelong process. Here are the signs that show that you are actually growing and not getting stuck in the process.16Often, we see how badly people look when they get overly upset due to unimportant things. So the first sign of maturity (成熟) is letting the small things go and not getting angry over a tiny detail that didn’t go as you planned.You start forgiving and understanding other peopleWhen we are young, we are often unforgiving. As we mature, we are better able to understand the world beyond black and white. 17 . It enables us to look beyond the obvious and let go of simple judgments. We begin to understand better that others have complex (复杂的) lives and personalities, and so we become more willing to forgive their mistakes.You always complete things that matterImmature people don’t know when to commit (承诺) themselves and their energy or resources are always not well employed. 18 . In this way, they can often keep their promises and honor their commitments.You accept the possibility of being wrong19 .

Even when their gut(直觉)is telling them that someone is crossing a line, they may struggle to express that the situation is making them uncomfortable. For this reason, parents need to work with their teens to establish boundaries with others.Although boundaries are different for everyone, when done correctly, they help teens set limits with others in order to protect themselves. Setting boundaries allows teens to communicate with other people about what is OK and what is not OK with them and is important to teen friendships.What are boundaries? Boundaries are limits teens establish in order to protect themselves in some way from being hurt, manipulated(操纵), or taken advantage of. As an expression of self-worth, boundaries let other people know who they are, what they value, and how they want to be treated. Additionally, boundaries help to create space between teens and other people when they need it.Learning how to set boundaries - both physical and emotional - is an important part of growing up. It’s also essential to developing friendships that are respectful, supportive and healthy.Unfortunately, though, many teens have trouble setting boundaries with their friends; and when this happens, it puts them at risk for everything from unhealthy friendships to bullying(霸凌) or abuse.Of course, setting boundaries isn’t easy. It’s uncomfortable and forces a teen to stand up for themselve s. What’s more, communicating boundaries to other people can make for difficult conversations or uncomfortable situations. Yet, it’s one of the most important things that teens need to learn how to do.4.

What is probably talked about following the last paragraph?A．The benefits of setting boundaries.B．The possible results of breaking boundaries.C．Strategies for effectively setting boundaries.D．The role of parents in helping teens set boundaries.Andrea Speranza wanted to be a firefighter long before she had the right word for her wish. After one childhood adventure at a construction site ended with an iron nail embedded (嵌入) in her leg and an emergency call to the fire department, she found herself in awe. “As they gave me the medical treatment, I thought they could help everybody and do anyth ing,” says the now 52-year-old.In 2000, Andréa Speranza achieved her dream of becoming a firefighter joining the Halifax Regional Fire Service. Her job was exactly as satisfying as she imagined it would be, except for one thing: she still hadn’t seen anot her woman in her role — not in a magazine, not on television, not in real life. Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they, too, could have a career like hers.The result was Camp Courage, a program for girls aged 15 to 19 who want to learn more about firefighting. In 2006, Speranza and about 20 volunteers welcomed their first 17 participants, recruiting (招募) attendees through advertising in schools. Over the course of eight days, the girls discovered the ins and outs of being first. responders: learning how to put out fires, deliver first aid and even use the jaws of life (救生钳) on a car.Camp Courage now runs one session every year in Halifax and is free to attend. To offset costs, Speranza and her fellow campers fundraise by holding everything from car washes to comedy nights. Hopeful campers must also submit an essay describing how they plan to help their community, or a specific individual in need. And they have to deliver on the plan—from building a bench for a senior at a bus stop to launching a local chapter of the Kids Help Phone.Hundreds of girls have passed through Camp Courage, and 36 percent are doing exactly what 52-year-old Speranza hoped they would: working as first responders across the country. This past summer, the camp held its first session for young women in Halifax, as well as its first national camp in Calgary with plans to roll out more in 2023.8. What do we know about Speranza?A．She became a firefighter in her fifties.B．She suffered great pain due to an accident!C．She helped many young girls attend school.D．She found her job as a firefighter undesirable.9. What inspired Speranza to start Camp Courage?A．Her family members’ advice.B．Her unrealized ambitions.C．Growing social demands. D．Great lack of female firefighters.10. Which of the following can best describe Speranza?A．Intellectual and humorous. B．Courageous and inspiring.C．Creative and influential. D．Knowledgeable and ambitious.11. What can we learn from Speranza’s story?A．Custom makes all things easy.B．The early bird catches the worm.C．Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.D．A bird in the hand is worth than two in the bush.On Saturday 24 August 1918, it was raining cats and dogs and thundering over a city called Sunderland on the northeast coast of England. The storm lasted for only about ten minutes. People were surprised to see that it was not just rainwater falling from the sky. There were fish falling down, too! People came out to find out what was happening. They could not believe their own eyes. There were thousands of fish—sand eels (沙鳗)—lying on the ground. They were about seven centimeters long, and all were frozen solid (冻成硬块).Sand eels swim together in large groups, often in sandy water, and are often found in large numbers in the North Sea, which reaches out to the east of Sunderland. How was it possible for these sand eels to fall from the sky and land on Sunderland?Scientists believed the heavy thunderstorm that afternoon may have caused a waterspout (水龙卷). Waterspouts can be formed when strong winds move quickly in a circle over water. They are so powerful that anything less than one meter in length can be taken into them and forced into the clouds. The clouds carry whatever has been taken into them for long distances —sometimes over 150 kilometers. It’s very cold up there and everything soon freezes solid.For hundreds of years there have been reports of small animals being taken into the sky through waterspouts. In 2009, dead tadpoles rained down on the city of Nanao in Japan. In 2012, fifty kilosof prawns fell from the sky over Sri Lanka. In 2017, fish fell on the coastal city of Tampico in Mexico.It must be a very strange experience to see fish raining down on you. It would probably hurt if one fell on your head! With climate (气候) change and many reports of terrible storms, will the time ever come when it may really begin to rain cats and dogs?12. What do we know about the sand eels that landed on Sunderland?A．They were few in number. B．They came in different sizes.C．They were still alive when landing. D．They probably came from the North Sea.13. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Clouds. B．Waterspouts. C．Strong winds. D．The waters of thesea.14. The author mentions the fall of tadpoles in Japan in 2009 in order to show that .A．raining sea animals is not new in history B．the environment is not pleasant in JapanC．waterspouts can reach as far as Japan D．different animals can fall in differentcountries15. In the end, what does the author probably care most about?A．Our health. B．Our environment. C．The wildanimals. D．The news reports.Signs That You Are GrowingGrowing is a lifelong process. Here are the signs that show that you are actually growing and not getting stuck in the process.16Often, we see how badly people look when they get overly upset due to unimportant things. So the first sign of maturity (成熟) is letting the small things go and not getting angry over a tiny detail that didn’t go as you planned.You start forgiving and understanding other peopleWhen we are young, we are often unforgiving. As we mature, we are better able to understand the world beyond black and white. 17 . It enables us to look beyond the obvious and let go of simple judgments. We begin to understand better that others have complex (复杂的) lives and personalities, and so we become more willing to forgive their mistakes.You always complete things that matterImmature people don’t know when to commit (承诺) themselves and their energy or resources are always not well employed. 18 . In this way, they can often keep their promises and honor their commitments.You accept the possibility of being wrong19 . They a re always able to accept the possibility that they are wrong, that they don’t know something, because there is always more to learn.Being mature is knowing that you are always growing up. You are never done learning and developing. This means that you do n’t set yourself up as the highest authority. 20 .Small children are easy to throw up in the air and catch — and they _________ it. “Again, Daddy, again!” Jacky shouts as I throw him skywards and catch him on the way back down again. He throws his arms and legs out _________ he were flying, his eyes wide with _________. His trust in me is _________, which is quite a nice feeling, but at the same time gives me a huge sense of_________I hope Jacky will always-trust me fully, but I know that, as he gets older, it will need more effort and sound judgment _________.
