22．（8分）“It’s really a breakthrough,” said British scientist Guillem about the discovery of a planet “more or less” like Earth that is orbiting Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our solar system.
Proxima b, or “Earth II”as you could call it , is a lttle bigger than our Earth, and its years only take 11days. Also, since it is so much closer to its red dwarf (矮小的) star than we are to the sun, the sky on its world is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect.
There are a lot of questions for life forms that could live on this new planet. As the Chicago Tribune wrote: “Do you have poetry? Superheroes? Television? Diets? Mean bosses? Do you have any interest in visiting other worlds? If so, put Earth on your Must See list. ”
The discovery of the planet made us wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the space postcards from Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11space probes (探测器), sent up into space in 1972 and the next year. Together with the probes were pictures of a man and a woman, along with diagrams of the solar system. Gold records were sent up into space on Voyager probes in 1977. If aliens (外星人) on Proxima b had played the record , they would have found human voices and pictures that showed the rich diversity of Earth.
It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet—even if it has an atmosphere—as first , we would need to invent a way to get there in less than the 78,000 years it would take at 36,000 mph. “Proxima b looks to us like a promising Plan(et) B, just in case things go really south on this blue planet. ” the Chi cago Tribune wrote.
1、What do we know about Proxima b?
A．It has an orange sky.
B．It is closer to the sun.
C．It has no sunrise.
D．It is as large as Earth.
2、What could be found on the gold records sent up by Voyager probes in 1977?
A．Pictures of a couple.
B．Maps of the solar system.
C．Recorded sounds.
D．Several postcards.
3、What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Earth moves to the south.
B．Proxima b gets closer to Earth.
C．Situation changes favorably.
D．Conditions on Earth get worse.
4、What was the attitude of the Chicago Tribune towards the discovery of the planet? A．Excited.
B．Worried.
C．Uninterested.
D．Proud.
（8分）A boy shivers in the harsh Oslo winter, wrapping his arms around himself 23．
on a bus stop bench. He isn’t wearing a coat and temper atures in the Norwegian capital regularly plunge to -10℃ during winter.
A heartbreaking scene, but the actions of the ordinary people who witnessed the dilemma of 11 year old Johannes Lonnestad Flaaten are both joyous and inspiring.
A young blonde woman who sat next to the boy and noticed him rubbing his arms. She immediately asked him: “Don't you have a jacket?” “No, someone stole it”, he replied. She questioned him and discovered he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop. She asked him the name of his school and where he was from as she selflessly draped(挂上) her own coat around his shoulders. Later, another older woman at first gave him her scarf, then wrapped him in her large padded jacket. Throughout the day, more and more people offered Johannes their gloves and even the coats off their backs as they waited for their bus.
Johanne's dilemma was a hidden camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children's Village as part of their winter campaign to gather donations to send
much-needed coats and blankets to help Syrian children get through the winter. Many of the refugees (难民）have left their homes without winter clothing.
"People should care as much about children in Syria as they care about this boy,"
Synne Ronning, the information head of SOS Children`s Villages Norway, told The Local. She also noted that the child was a volunteer who was never in any danger during the filming.
1、According to the text, how can we describe the experiment?
A．Practical.
B．Dangerous.
C．Inspiring.
D．Voluntary.
2、What do we know about the young blonde woman?
A．She thought the boy was lying at first.
B．She was not sure of what the boy said.
C．She gave the boy a hand in the end.
D．She cared very little about others.
3、What can we learn from Synne Ronning's words in Paragragh 5?
A．People have done much to help children in Syria.
B．The boy was only well protected in the filming.
C．There should be more volunteers involved.
D．Children in Syria deserve to be cared for.
24．（8分）Teak is a large tree that grows in tropical(热带的) forests. It’s often used for outdoor furniture, since it’s more resistant to the elements than other types of wood. When untreated, it tends to fade to a grayish color, so it is often stained(着色). Before being able to stain teak furnitur e, you’ll need to sand and smooth the wood first.
Wipe dirt and dust off. You can use a dry paper towed or a cloth to brush any dirt off. If there are more tenacious spots to clean off, you can use a wet rag to rub them clean. Sand rough spots with 120 grit sandpaper. After that, use 220 grit sandpaper on the whole surface. Wipe any wood dust off with a dry rag before continuing.
Paint on a layer of sanding sealer(底漆). This will make the surface smoother and will get the wood stain better attached. Once the sealer has started to dry, use a clean cloth to wipe off any sealer that’s still pooled at the top of the wood. This will prev ent spots from forming on the wood. Let the sealer dry completely. It should only take a few hours for the sealer to dry completely. You should sand the surface a few times before continuing to smooth out any spots where the sealer might not have dried evenly.
When painting on a layer of stain, a brush will do fine. Apply an even coat all over. Wipe off any stain not absorbed by the wood. Use a clean dry rag to wipe off extra stain. Let the wood stain dry. The amount of time it takes for the stain to completely dry will depend on how thick of a layer you used. Avoid touching the stain too much if it’s still wet. After the first coat has dried, take a moment to see if you’re satisfied with the color. If you want your furniture to be darker, you can add another coat of wood stain, right on top of the previous layer, following the same process.
1、What do we know about teak?
A．It is not easy to be damaged.
B．It bears an ugly original color.
C．It is made into the best furniture.
D．It grows in the hot and dry areas.
2、What does the underlined word “tenacious” in Para 2 probably mean?
A．Huge.
B．Obvious.
C．Stubborn.
D．Colorful.
3、We wipe off any sealer pooled at the top of the wood _______.
A．to get rid of increasing sport
B．to help the sealer dry completely
C．to get the wood stain better stuck
D．to make sure the surface is smooth
4、What is recommended if you want darker colored teak furniture?
A．Wipe dirt and dust off again.
B．Paint on a layer of stain once more.
C．Paint on a layer of sanding sealer twice.
D．Repeat the whole process of coloring teak.
25．（10分）Compassion（同情）is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are ou r main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This
untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if fortune had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable, “Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
1、The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits______.
A．promised to obey the store rules
B．hoped to have the food first and pay later
C．forgot to take his credit card with him
D．could not afford anything more expensive
2、Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?
A．Kind and lucky. B．Friendly and helpful.
C．Poor and lonely. D．Hurt and disappointed.
3、Why did the author refuse the old gentle man’s request first?
A．He considered the old man dishonest.
B．He felt no pity for the old gentleman.
C．He wanted to keep his present job.
D．He expected someone else to pay for the old man.
4、What lesson did the author learn from this experience?
A．Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
B．Wealth is most important in older age.
C．Experience is better gained through practice.
D．Compassion means helping in some way.

29、Hi! Tom,
I’m glad t o hear that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals. My favorite
festival is the Mid—Autumn Festival. It usually comes in September or October. On that day, our family members usually get together and have a nice meal. After that, I always admire the moon and share mooncakes with my families.
I love this festival because I like eating mooncakes. They are in the shape of a full moon. They carry people’s wishes to the families they love and miss. In short, the Mid—Autumn Festival is a special day of pleasure and happiness. I hope that my letter will help you know more about Chinese festivals.
Best wishes to you.
Yours,
Li Hua。
