22．（8分）The tornado last 4 minutes, to us, it felt like a lifetime.
No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado from the TV than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The wind began to roar through the house. We had three flights of steps to get to the first floor. The closet down there is underneath a brick staircase, which seemed like the strongest place in our house to wait things out.
It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. As we finally reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Glass flew everywhere. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch whipped through the doorframe. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have impaled us.
We got close to the staircase only to hear the loud sound of our garage door coming off. The back wall of the house followed and tore off into the darkness outside.
By the time I reached the closet, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldn’t get inside himsel f because of the wind. I gripped Jimmy’s arm and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees were full
of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown
right out the back of the house and into the bay. All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was
over.
The storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.
1、Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?
A．They decided to hide in the brick staircase because it was the strongest place to hide. B．It was hard to make it to the first floor because there was no floor underneath them. C．Their house was one of the houses in the unit that were completely destroyed.
D．If the tornado ha dn’t stopped in time, Jimmy would have been blown away into the darkness.
2、What’s the right order of following events?
a. The back wall of the house tore off into the darkness outside.
b. Jimmy lifted off his feet and was thought to be gone.
c. The author felt no pain although her knees were full of glass.
d. A tree branch whipped through the doorframe and flew over their heads.
e. The garage door came of
f.
f. The author was pushed down to the closet by Jimmy.
A．deafcb B．deafbc
C．dfeabc D．daefcb

23．（8分）Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning—and the fears of something going badly wrong.
The future, however may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working
on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.
These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.
“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers
much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said T im Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.
Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.
The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.
However, the country’s agreement wit h EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.
A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ￡56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.
1、Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)? A．AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors
B．Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risks
C．So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet
D．Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs
2、In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to
________.
A．prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.
B．show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.
C．indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.
D．point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.
3、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plants
B．The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.
C．The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted
D．a kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.
4、Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?
A．Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights on
B．Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactors
C．Nuclear’s share of power generation remain stead
D．Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to success
24．（8分）Sometimes we experience pain that seems just too big to feel, too frightening to face - it looks like a tsunami. So, we run. My tsunami came when I was nine years old.
I was woken up by my mother’s screams - “Bob? Bob?! BOB!” I ran to my parents’ bedroom. My father was on all fours, unconscious. My mother was crazy - desperately trying to figure out how to stop what was happening. I ran to the phone - 9-1-1, the neighbors, anyone - “help us!” Soon rescue came, but my father didn’t come back to life.
When my friends came to comfort me, I remember “pulling myself together” as I walked toward them, determining to show them that I was fine.
The more I denied my pain, the more I was praised by the adults around me-”Oh, look how strong she is!” So, I kept saying “I’m fine.” Over and over and over. I said it enough - performed it enough - that I even fooled myself. I believed that I was okay.
But pain doesn’t just “go away” - that whole “time heals” thing is a total crock. 30 years after my father died, when I looked around for an explanation for all the years of destructive behavior, I couldn’t find the root of the pain in my life because I had covered it up so well. All the “I’m fine” - 30 years of them - buried the pain of that nine years old girl.
Her pain had been trying to come out, to be heard, to be healed.
And, finally, it was.
After years of treatment, I found my way back to that night where the pain started, back to the tsunami. This time, I didn’t run. It hurt - it still hurts - but now, when it hurts, I let the pain come. Fm not scared to say, “I’m not fine” - because I know, eventually, I will be.
1、What did the author do when her father was in danger?
A．She ran out to look for rescue. B．She kept calm and asked for help.
C．She offered first aid to him at once. D．She was too afraid to do anything.
2、Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “crock” in Paragraph 5? A．fact B．theory
C．experiment D．lie
3、Why was the author praised?
A．She behaved politely.
B．She seemed to be confident.
C．She could look after herself.
D．She could handle the blow properly.
4、What lesson can we get from the author’s experience?
A．Hiding our pain can be harmful.
B．Expressing pain is not very easy.
C．Being strong means hiding one’s pain.
D．Children are good at covering up their pain.
25．（10分）Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper.
The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District.
They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.
The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological (气象的) Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.
Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.
If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.
Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.
1、You would most likely find the article in ________.
A．a doctor’s diary B．a travel journal
C．a medical magazine D．a physics textbook
2、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.
B．Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn't harm them at all.
C．Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.
D．The study was conducted by researchers from Japan, the USA and the UK.
3、Human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the
snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach because ________.
A．s now produces more UV light than water
B．people don’t wear sunscreen while skiing as they do while sitting on the beach C．the reflection rate of UV light in snow-covered areas is much higher than that on the beach
D．human eyes are exposed longer to UV light in the snow- covered areas than on the beach
4、What will the passage most probably talk about next?
A．Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.
B．Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.
C．Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.
D．Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.

29、Dear Danny,
I’m sorry to tell you that I can’t t go to the cinema with you this Sunday.I feel terrible that I will break our promise and miss the chance to have fun.
The reason for this is that I just heard of a wonderful calligraphy exhibition which will be held in our city on that day. It’s said that this exhibition will gather a large number of famous works created by top masters. It is definitely a great opportunity for us to experience the charm of Chinese calligraphy and enrich our knowledge about Chinese culture.Since you are fascinated by Chinese culture, I sincerely hope you can come withe me together.
I am looking forward to your reply!。
