21．（6分）Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree. Were the birds on the ice ducks or geese? There was only one way to find out. So on a cold January evening, the two friends risked onto the frozen pond near their house in Frankfort, Illinois, to get a better look. First they threw a small stone to test it. Then they stepped on it. Believing the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, then.... He fell through the seemingly frozen ice.
Cruz rushed to help his frightened friend—the pond “ate” him too. Gruz managed to lift himself out of the water and onto a more reliable part. He then carefully made his way to Anthony. But the ice didn’t hold, and he fell in again. This time he couldn’t get out. The boys quickly lost feeling in their arms and legs. Cruz was sure he was going to die.
Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys f all through the ice and started screaming for help. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the grocery store, heard her. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he kicked off his shoes, and run into the freezing water. Lavin made his way to Cruz and Anthony and saved them back to land. They were taken to the hospital, where doctors discovered that their five-minute stay in the water had lowered their body temperature nearly ten degrees.
Fortunately, the boys have fully recovered, though they are still moved by their fearless neighbor. “Just to think,” says Gruz, “if he wasn’t there, I could have died.”
1、Why did Gruz and Anthony step on the ice?
A．To go skating. B．To trap some birds.
C．To settle a disagreement. D．To test the strength of the ice.
2、How did Cruz feel when caught in the water?
A．Hopeless. B．Puzzled.
C．Shocked. D．Calm.

23．（8分）Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放) vehicles”, but people in
California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators(发电机). Generators are fueled by something--usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far—so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal, or hydro or wind or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.
In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
1、What does “clueless” mean in paragraph 2?
A．People see the California Greens everywhere.
B．People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal, oil, etc.
C．People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells.
D．People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles.
2、What is the main idea of the text?
A．Electric cars are not clean at all.
B．Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.
C．People cast doubts on electric cars’ batteries.
D．Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.
3、The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ________.
A．not less than 25 miles B．as far as 50 miles
C．as far as 25 miles D．not more than 25 miles
4、According to the text, electric cars ________.
A．are more environmentally friendly
B．burn more fuel than gas-powered ones
C．are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
D．are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill
5、It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A．being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
B．electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins C．zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D．electric cars are not clean because we get electricity mainly by burning something 24．（8分）When emergency workers arrive at an old firehouse in New York City, the way they greet each other is not what you might expect. These first responders say," Ni Hao! " "Ni Hao" means "hello" in Mandarin Chinese.
First responders are the first emergency workers to arrive at a fire, traffic accident or other emergency. Some first responders are fire fighters, while others can be Emergency Medical Technicians.
In Brooklyn, New York, over 20 first responders are studying Mandarin Chinese for about two hours a week. The class is the first of its kind. It is offered by the New York City Fire Department Foundation.
The U. S. Census Bureau recently reported that some New York neighborhoods are made up mostly of immigrants. Some people have predicted that the Chinese community is likely to become New York's largest immigrant group. They think the city will have the largest Chinese community outside of Asia.
The Census Bureau also found that almost 200 languages are spoken in the city. So, knowing different languages is important, especially if you are a first responder.
Lieutenant(中尉,少尉) Steve Lee is president of the Fire Department's Phoenix Society. He says that first responders must be able to communicate quickly and
effectively when an emergency happens. He explains that first responders enter neighborhoods and communities to assist regardless of where they are from. Many times first responders do not speak the same language as the people they are called to help. He adds that it is vital, or very important, that first responders are able to communicate with the people calling for help.
Without help from homeowners and others, Lee adds, discovering exactly where a fire is burning can be a real problem. First responders need to ask questions such as "What building? What address? What apartment?" And the most important question," Is there anybody left in the building and where?"
1、Who are first responders according to Paragraph 2?
A．People first learning the disaster. B．Persons leading the emergency rescue. C．Rescuers first reaching the disaster D．People first find the disaster.
2、Why are the first responders in New York studying the Chinese language?
A．To show respect to the Chinese immigrants.
B．To learn about Chinese cultures much better.
C．To meet the rapid growth of Chinese population.
D．To find a better job in Chinese community.
3、What do first responders concern most?
A．The place where the fire occurs. B．The people trapped in the fire. C．The language to communicate. D．The distance covered to the fire.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Mandarin Being a Must for Emergency Workers
B．New York's Emergency Crews Learning Mandarin
C．Language Problem Disturbing First Responders' Work
D．Importance of Languages Used in Emergency Rescue
25．（10分） A solar plane on a round-the-world journey has reached the point of no return over the Pacific Ocean after departing Hawaii, and now it’s California or bust.
The plane was cruising over the cold northern Pacific late Thursday at about 6,000 meters with a nearly-full battery as night descended（降临）, according to the website that’s recording the journey of Solar Impulse 2.
After some uncertainty about winds, the plane took off from Hawaii and was on
course to land in Mountain View, California, in about three days. The crew that helped it take off was clearing out of its Hawaiian hangar （飞机库）and headed for the mainland for the weekend arrival.
At one point the plane was passed by a Hawaiian Airlines jet whose passengers caught a glimpse of the Solar Impulse 2 before the powerful airliner left the
slow-moving one behind.
The aircraft landed in Hawaii in July and was forced to stay in the islands after the plane’s battery system sustained heat damage on its trip from Japan.
The aircraft started its journey in March 2015 from Abu Dhabi, the capital of the Unite d Arab Emirates, and made stops in Oman, Myanmar, China and Japan. It’s on the ninth leg of its circumnavigation（环行）.
Pilot Bertrand Piccard, who is flying the latest leg of the trip, was confident on Thursday that things would go according to plan.
Piccard and his co-pilot Andre Borschberg were in charge of the mission. The team was delayed in Asia. When first attempting to fly from Nanjing to Hawaii, the crew had to divert to Japan because of unfavorable weather and a damaged wing.
A month later, when weather conditions were right, the plane departed from Nagoya in Japan for Hawaii.
1、What does the underlined phrase “California or bust” mean in the first paragraph? A．Success or failure. B．Return or California.
C．Damage or repair. D．Destination and success.
2、What is the name of the solar plane?
A．Hawaiian Air Jet. B．Andre Borschberg.
C．Solar Impulse 2. D．Solar Challenger.
3、Why did the solar plane stay in Japan for a month?
A．Because the plane’s battery system sustained heat damage on its trip. B．Because it was a slow-moving solar plane.
C．Because the weather was unfavorable and a wing was damaged.
D．Because both of the pilots have no confidence about the solar plane.
4、What is the best title of the passage?
A．A Solar Plane Trip in Asia
B．The Round-the-world Trip
C．Solar Plane Soars（高飞）from Hawaii to California
D．A Pleasant Solar Plane Trip from Japan to California

The 2 moment was quickly followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the 3 of that little wallet? The credit cards, the driver’s license, the cash, all lost to the bus.

文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。

每处错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下写出该加的词。

删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉。

修改：在错的同下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；

It seems that if the result is bad, which people work for will be meaningless. Personally speak, the process of fighting for the goal is less important than the result. When we fight for our goals, we will be devoted what we are doing and try to improve us. If we fail in the end, when we look back on the beginning, we will find that we are no longer the childish one. We have grown up. What's the more, in the process of fighting, we got close to success, as the saying goes that failure are the mother of success. So don't treat the result so serious; just enjoy the process.
