Paloma sat at a computer in the school library．She stared at the blank screen and the blinking cursor．She rummaged around in her backpack for a rubber band，and then she pulled her hair into a
thick ponytail．Paloma looked at the computer screen．It was till blank．She sighed and flipped through her notebook to reread the assignment Mr. Molina had given the class three weeks ago．It was due in just two days，and Paloma knew that she couldn’t procrastinate any longer．Write a creative short story using an experience that you have had recently，Paloma read．Your story should include two examples of figurative language．
Paloma and her family had recently taken a trip along North Carolina’s coast．They had visited four different lighthouses，and Paloma wondered what it would be like to live in a lighthouse．She knew that before lighthouses were automated，they were run by a lighthouse keeper who lived on the premises．Paloma thought she’d love to be a lighthouse keeper．Without thinking about it any longer，Paloma began to write the story．
I sat with my cat Sadie curled on my lap and looked out the window at the crashing waves．The heavy rain beat against my lighthouse like a thousand footsteps racing up and down the wall．I held Sadie closer，and she let out a small meow of displeasure．I knew that the coming storm could not be too dangerous if Sadie was still acting normally．I had read that animals can sense changes in weather and will seek shelter from a tornado or hurricane．I was relying on Sadie's calmness to get me through my first hurricane on the island．
I knew that my lighthouse was sturdily built．It had survived more than one hundred years’worth of hurricanes and tropical storms．There was no reason to believe that it couldn't survive another．I looked up at the staircase that spiraled above me and worried as I felt the tower sway slightly in a gust of wind．
Paloma stopped and reread what she had just written．She smiled to herself in delight，saved her story，and then settled into her chair to continue writing．She wasn’t sure what was
going to happen next，but she knew that if she kept going，the story would continue to tell itself．Paloma couldn’t wait to find out where it would take her．
24．Why is Paloma feeling anxious at the beginning of the passage?
A．She hasn’t much time left to do her writing task．
B．She doesn’t know the details of her writing task．
C．She has completely forgotten about her writing task．
D．She doesn’t know what is wrong with her computer．
25．What is the inspiration for Paloma’s story idea?
A．Her cat．B．Her teacher．
C．Her trip．D．Her dream．
26．In Paloma’s story，how does the lighthouse keeper decide if the storm is dangerous?
A．By listening to the weather report．
B．By watching the crashing waves．
C．By observing the cat’s behaviour．
D．By measuring the movement of the lighthouse．
27．As described in the final paragraph，how does Paloma feel after she has written the first part of her story?
A．Confused．B．Excited．
C．Relieved．D．Determined．
C
For many years，Bruce Bexler dreamed of going where no human had gone before．He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare，exotic species．
That might sound like an impossible dream，but Bexler turned it into a reality．
In December 2015，he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured into an isolated tropical rain forest on the island of New Guinea．They were the first people ever to enter the mist-covered region．“As time was limited，we were dropped in by helicopter．Once we were on the ground，there were no trails anywhere；it was really hard to get around，”Bexler says．Within minutes of landing，the team spotted a black chicken-like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck．The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeaters—the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years．The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for the scientists．They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species—13 birds of paradise，20 frogs，four butterflies，and
amazing things we had never seen before．”
The newfound species didn’t shy away from the scientists．Two long-nosed echidnas—primitive egg-laying mammals—let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them．An echidna looks like a hedgehog and is also called a spiny anteater．Bexler thinks the animals weren’t scared because they had never seen humans before．“In
almost all parts of New Guinea，animals are hunted for food，and because of this，they are very cautious of people．”he explains．“This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people．”
Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia．Local people called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outer-edges of the forest but told Bexler that not even their ancestors had gone so far into the woods．The wooded area is approximately a 10-day walk from the nearest village．
Bexler and his team did not have enough time during the expedition to study the area completely．They hope to return expect to record many more undiscovered species．“We just scratched the surface，”Bexler says．“Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery．”28．Which word best describes Bruce Bexler?
A．Adventurous．B．Cautious．
C．Optimistic．D．Careful．
29．What does Bruce Bexler mean in Paragraph 5 when he says“We were like kids in a candy store”?
A．They didn’t have enough food and were hungry．
B．They were very excited about what they saw．
C．They were misbehaving like naughty children．
D．They knew that if they kept searching，they’d find sugar．
30．Why did some of the animals allow the scientists to pick them up?
A．The scientists seemed to be very friendly．
B．The scientists were skilled in handling animals．
C．The animals had been well-trained by the local people．
D．The animals had no experience or fear of people．
31．What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored?
A．The best way to explore the area is by helicopter．
B．The area has not been visited by scientists for many years．
C．The area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science．
D．The locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods．
D
Petrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads，but their days are numbered．A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the US．That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020．
concerns about running out of juice on a journey．While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems，the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed．That said，charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA．Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years．Not that long ago，electric cars were met with distrust，and their large price tags drove customers away．Thanks to improvements in battery capacity，recharging times，performance and price，the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics．Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.
As well as advancements on the road，electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies．Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel，having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over．Now，the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back．Steps towards electric air travel are also being made，with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes．The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality．
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions．Were the US to act on the study’s findings and replace 87 per cent of its ears with electric vehicles，it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent．However，because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles，they cannot claim to be completely emission-free．That said，as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources，electric vehicles will become even cleaner．
32．Which is the best title for this passage?
A．My Dream Car
B．History of Electric Cars
C．Problems with Petrol Cars
D．Driving into the Future
33．As used in Paragraph 2，the underlined word“hurdle”means_________．
A．aim B．barrier
C．consequence D．step
34．In the past，why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars?
A．They were not good value．
B．They were very poorly made．
C．They were not widely promoted．
D．They couldn’t travel at a high speed．
35．What is the function of Paragraph 4?
A．To introduce the history of electric travel．
B．To explain why the world needs more electric cars．
C．To show why more people have interest in electric cars．
D．To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used．
