Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids: “I’m going to Afghanistan”. And a few weeks later, international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil war and Iraq aftermore and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. “Adventures or not?” I often asked myself.When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious.I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.I think about the moment many times during my “adventures”. I didn’t know how predictive those words would be. But I know that she is still with me.56. Where has the doctor been in the past few years?A. Some countries where he could set up clinics.B. Some African countries where flu broke out.C. The places where the earthquakes happened.D. The places that the horrible disasters struck.57. How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan?A. Tired and troublesome.B. Busy and risky.C. Meaningful and helpfulD. Frightening and depressing.58. The underlined word “refugees” means people_______________.A. who are robbed, killed, or woundedB. who suffer from flu in movable clinicsC. who like to take adventuresD. who have lost homes because of disasters.59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. the doctor’s wife encouraged him to work in foreign c ountries.B. What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality.C. The doctor’s adventures made him understand the love of his wife.D. With the true love of his wife, the doctor started to change his life.BJust outside the northern Italian town of Bra, there rises a church tower with a clock that is a half hour slow. Though not far from the industrial city of Turin, Bra smells of roses, and leisure(悠闲) is the law. It is both the home of an international movement that promotes slow food and one of Italian cities that have joined the slow cities. In Bra, population 27,866, the town fathers have declared that all small food shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday. They forbid cars in the town square. All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must beorganic(有机的). And as the movement goes well, the slow concept gradually spreads across Europe.The argument for a Slow Europe is not only that it is good, but also that it can work. The Slow City Movement, which started in 1999, has improved local economies(经济) by promoting local goods and tourism. Young Italians are moving from larger cities to Bra, where unemployment is only 5 percent, about half the nationwide rate. Slow food and wine festivals draw thousands of tourists every year. Shops are doing well, many with sales rising at a rate of 15% per year. “This is our answer to the world.” says Paolo Samrnini, the founder of Slow Cities.France is in favor of slow economics. Most outsiders have long been doubtful of the French model: short hours and long vacations. Yet the French are more productive than those in the United States and Britain, and have been for years.The mystery of French productivity has risen an Europewide debate about the advantages of working more slowly.60. The church clock that is a half hour slow severs as a symbol of ________.A. industrial developmentB. slow movementC. global economyD. city growth61. The low unemployment in Bra proves that ________.A. the population is not largeB. tourism brings great job chanceC. the Slow City Movement is successfulD. the slow concept works well only in its birth place62. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. British workers work longer hours than the FrenchB. French workers work longer hours than the ItaliansC. Italian workers are less productive than the AmericansD. American workers are more productive than the British63. The increased French productivity tends to ________.A. favor a fast life styleB. throw doubt on slow economicsC. encourage a slow economic growthD. confirm advantages of slow economicsC64. If you like sports writing, you will most probably_______. A. go to Blue Tent at 11:15a.m.B. enjoy Jami Bernard’s talkC. listen to Christine BrennanD. attend the Art of theReview65. Sam Tanenhaus is in charge of ______. A. The Art of the ReviewB. Health, Wellness and the Politics of FoodC. New York Writers, New York StoriesD. Sports Writing: For the Love of the Game66. We can learn from the text that_______________. A. sports writers are a type of audienceB. New York Times is a gold mine companyC. Denise Grady will discuss political policyD. book reviews may affect book sales DDear Reader ，Today I'm going to ask you to support Wikipedia with a donation. Sounds unusual: Why does one of the world's five most popular websites ask for financial support from its users?Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50.We have a small number of paid staff, just twentythree. Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose. Wikipedia is run by the nonprofit Wikipedia Foundation, which I founded in 2003.Wikipedia's driven by a global community (群体) of more than 150,000 volunteers, all devoted to sharing knowledge freely. More than 275million people come to our website every month to access information, free of charge and free of advertising.Your donation helps us in several ways. Most importantly, you will help us cover the increasing cost of managing global traffic to one ofthe most popular websites on the Internet. Funds also help us improvethe software that runs Wikipedia, making it easier to search, easier to read, and easier to write for. We're bent on growing the free knowledge movement worldwide, by employing new volunteers, and building strategic (的) partnerships with institutes of culture and learning.Wikipedia is different. It's the largest encyclopedia (百科全书) in history, all written by volunteers.Like a national park or a school, we don't believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia. We want to keep it free and strong, but we need the support of thousands of people like you, for your donation will help keep Wikipedia free for the whole world.Thank you!Jimmy Wales67. In the letter, Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikimedia Foundation tries to ________.A. compare some top websitesB. explain how Wikipedia worksC. introduce a new website to the readersD. appeal to Wikipedia users to make donations68.Which of the following is TRUE about Wikipedia?A. Due to its less popularity, Wikipedia is no longer attractive to advertising at all.B. Over 275 million people come to Wikipedia to access information for free weekly.C. Wikipedia, the world's most popular website, is run by the Wikipedia Foundation.D. Unlike others, Wikipedia, the largest encyclopedia in history, is written by volunteers.69. From the letter we can know donations will help do the following for Wikipedia EXCEPT ________.A. take on some new volunteersB. develop an effective new softwareC. access free knowledge more easilyD. cover the increasing cost of management70. It can be inferred from the letter that ________.A. Wikipedia aims to give free access to the sum of all human knowledgeB. those donating to Wikipedia will be eventually employed as its volunteersC. most websites including Wikipedia rely on financial supports fromits usersD. supported by Wikipedia Foundation, Wikipedia wants to be free from advertisements第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Are you cooperative? Are you a good team member? If so, the future may hold more for you than you think.71 That' s happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.But, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive. High technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, architecture and ocean exploration.Through computer networking, scientists, engineers and technicians at different locations —often thousands of miles apart —can work on the same project at once. 72Examples— An engineering team can now design and try out a robot system ?a new manufacturing process or an entire factory —before it is built. 73 A medical team can simulate （模拟） a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient.Of course, computer-assisted team effort doesn't end with investigation and simulation.74 "CAD-CAM —computer-aided design and manufacture—is breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions," explains Dr. Prakash Rao, an engineering manager at General Electric." Interdisciplinary （跨学科的） teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. Everything is interconnected like a network. "Sometimes, a computer-aided effort can extend beyond production. A team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depths.75A. They can exchange ideas, try out different designs and test theirresults.B. In the future, teamwork will be highlighted by the introduction ofnew technology.C. An architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge.D. It ends in the products which are extensions of the traditionaldesign.E. It now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing andtesting.F. High technology, some predicted, would make teamwork a thing of thepast.G. For high-technology teamwork, the future seems limitless.第二卷第四写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节短文改错(满分10分)It is reported, some needy students receive financial support from some kind people but never express our thanks. Personally, I think they are wrong. Though the helpers didn't expect any reward in return, it is necessary and good manner to say “thank you”. Besides, it is a basic social skill express ourselves in modern society. Maybe some of them do feel thankfully. It is only because they are afraid of looked down upon which they remain silent. But I just want to say that being poor for a moment doesn't means you will be poor forever.第二节书面表达(满分25分)李华准备到外企求职，必须具备一的英语水平。

高三第一阶段英语试题命题人:杨丽丽审题人:李庆明本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题) 两部分，共8页。
满分120分，考试时间100分钟。
第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AMany of us mistakenly believe that it's wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed （有缺陷）?If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else. You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior（自卑）because you don't have much money and you don't drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you don't have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it's the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.1. According to the author ___________ plays an important role in making friends.A. admitting your shortcomingsB. self criticismC. modestyD. confidence2. If you are not liked by a person, _________.A. you should find the reason in yourselfB. you’d better talk with the person face to faceC. you may not be the one to be blamedD. you and that person misunderstand each other3. We can learn from the third paragraph that ____________ .A. your good qualities may turn out to be your flawsB. your weakness may also be your strengths in some wayC. your negative qualities cause a person to reject youD. you’ll have few friends if your flaws are bigger than your good qualities4. Which of the following is true according to the author?A. It is important to lose weight.B. It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.C. Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.D. If you are not beautiful enough, try to improve your physical beauty.BTired of Working in Your Country?With over 500 instructors and 20 years of experience, we are the leader in the field of teaching foreign languages. We now have positions open in Osaka starting September/October 2018 for instructions of English, German, Spanish and French.●Teach many different kinds of classes using the latest technology in small classes of up to 30 students.●Accommodation, and other necessary documents will be ready before you leave.●Applicants will teach their first language only.●Excellent teacher training programs.If you are young with a university degree and are willing to experience different cultures, apply now. Experience in teaching is an advantage but not specially required. Knowledge of the Japanese language is not necessary but good English skills and practical computer knowledge are basic requirements.Apply with C.V. and send letter to:NOV A France, Mr. Sampy (IHT 3/2)34, Bd. Haussmann, 75009 Paris, FranceFax: 33148014804Or visit our website: www. The manager expects to meet and talk with successful applicants in Paris in June and July.5.What is the purpose of the text?A.To introduce a language school in Japan.B.To describe working conditions in Japan.C.To make clear the requirements for Japanese teachers.D.To hire language teachers to work in Japan.6.We know from the text that those who are going to Japan will _____.A. get trained for the jobB. receive a degree from a universityC. have free accommodationD. teach English only in Osaka7.Before going to Japan, you need _____.A. to see the manager of NOV A FranceB. to take some computer coursesC. to write a letter to JapanD. to find a place to live8.If you want to work in Japan, you should _____.A. have some working experienceB. know how to use computersC. present good teaching plansD. speak several languages.CWhat might the future be like? Here are some predictions: things to come, things to go.Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home has caused headaches for millions of Chinese. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making getting travel tickets and the journey difficult. But in 28 years, Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to build more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020.And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem.Newspapers will come to an end in 2043. In the future, digital newspapers will be sent to personal web tools through Internet. Readers can discuss topics with journalists and editors. Information will move faster.Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel. Coal, natural gas, solar power, nuclear power and even water can take the place of oil as sources of energy.Schools will go electronic. Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students' library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world. There will be robot teachers, who will check homework on computers and communicate with the students' parents through e-mail. And school buses will be like spaceships, comfortable and safe.9. Why has the Spring Festival caused headaches for many Chinese?A. Because it is the most important Chinese holiday.B. Because it costs too much money to celebrate it.C. Because the traffic is too heavy then.D. Because the travel tickets are too expensive then.10. What is not mentioned in the passage as sources of energy ________.A. CoalB. WindC. Nuclear powerD. Water11. From the passage we can know ________ in the future.A. the Spring Festival travel may still be a problemB. 90% of the population will live in the cityC. robot teachers will check homeworkD.oil is running out faster than expected. Unluckily, scientists haven’t found something else for oil as fuel.12. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Schools will go electronicB. Computers will be importantC. There will be robot teachersD. School buses will be like spaceshipsDThe old man walked with a cane (拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched (打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled（闪光）like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips that held a steady smile.He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair.” Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it. In a soft, clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss.” “You’re welcome, Sir.” She replied. “My name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me.”After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemon tea, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir!” He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “You are very kind!”When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a $ 100 bill. The note on the napkin read, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.”The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she, or any of his employees, had seen him in person.13．Mary ran over to the old man because _____.A. the old man was the boss of the restaurantB. she was worried that the old man might cause trouble to the restaurantC. the old man had asked her to wait on himD. she saw the old man had some difficulty moving and taking a seat14．The words the man left on the napkin suggested that _____.A. respecting others means respecting oneselfB. serving others is a respectable jobC.

祁县中学2021届高三英语8月月考试题〔含解析〕第一局部阅读理解〔满分是60分〕第一节〔一共15小題；毎小題3分，満分45分〕.AA new mom from Michigan headed for the airport Thursday, nervous about flying alone with her '-month-old. When her daughter started crying even before takc-off her fears for the flight —to surprise her husband, a US Army soldier at Fort Rucker Alabama — seemed acceptable.The couple seated next to her reacted just as Rebekka Garvison had feared, looking visibly unhappy about sitting next to a fussy(难以取悦的〕baby. Ms. Garvison moved to a new seat, hoping it would help. When the baby's cries continued, the woman sitting next to her asked if she could try.Garvison later described in a grateful Facebook post how the woman, Nyfesha Miller, had the magic touch with her baby. "As soon as she had her, Rylee was looking out the window and stopped crying," Garvison recalled. "When we got in the air she fell right asleep and slept in her lap the whole flight until we got to our gate? Garvison told The Huffington Post she has been in touch with Ms. Miller almost daily since the flight.Garvison's post has been shared more than 84,000 times. and received hundreds of warm comments. "Years ago. the same kind of thing happened to me," wrote one mother. "it was a seven-hour flight and I had my ten-month-old little boy with me. A nun〔修女〕was sitting beside me and she walked him up and down the passage when he got fussy.It was such a relief for me and is something I will never forget."Not everyone has had happy experiences with baby air travelers. One airline is considering opening a "baby class" for airplanes with flight attendant nannies 〔保姆〕,reported The Christian Science Monitor's Meredith Hamilton. For now. parents can hope to be seated beside someone like Ms. Miller on their next flight. "Nyfesha Miller, you will never understand how happy this act of kindness has made my fanuly." wrote Garvison.1. Why did Garvison move to a new scat?A. She could have a better view.B.

The discovery adds to existing evidence that the ancient Mars had the right conditions to possibly support some form of life.Today, any water on Mars is believed to be in the form of ice because of the planet’s extremely cold desert temperatures. But there is a rich amount of evidence suggesting that rivers, lakes and even oceans once existed on Mars. A study by the American space agency NASA suggested that about 4.3 billion years ago, Mars likely had an ocean that covered nearly half of Mars’ northern hemisphere(半球). Another NASA-supported study guessed that about 3 billion years ago, the climate in much of the planet’s northern hemisphere was very similar to today’s Earth. The study noted that at that time, Mars likely had a much thicker atmosphere than today and had an active northern ocean.Two American researchers recently released a set of maps to provide new environmental evidence of a large ancient ocean on Mars’ low-lying northern hemisphere. The team collected data from satellite images and photos of Mars. They then combined them to create maps of the planet’s northern hemisphere. Using the maps, the researchers were able to piece together evidence of shorelines that sat at the edge of a huge body of water about 3.5 billion years ago.The researchers published their findings in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Benjamin Cardenas, an assistant professor at The Penn State University, was a co- writer of the study. He said the study’s findings showed the possible ocean in that area of Mars was changeable and interesting. “It was dynamic ( 动态的) . The sea level rose significantly, ” he said. “Rocks were being deposited (沉积) along its basins at a fast rate.There was a lot of change happening here. ”Besides, Cardenas suggested the new study also provided useful information on Mars’ ancient climate and developmental history. “Based on these findings, we know there had to have been a period when it was warm enough and the atmosphere was thick enough to support this much liquid water at one time, ” he said.4．How does the author develop paragraph 2?A．By drawing comparisons. B．By giving examples.C．By listing figures. D．By asking questions.5．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the researchers?A．How they found the evidence. B．Where they created maps.C．Why they studied satellites. D．When they landed on Mars.6．What did the new study find about Mars?A．It must have been always warm.B．It might have had an active ocean.C．The climate and sea level were unchangeable.D．The atmosphere was too thin to support water.7．Which section of a magazine is the text most probably taken from?A．Science. B．Photography. C．Literature. D．Farming.CAs a mother and a professional working full time, I spent all of my 30s saying yes. Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I disliked. This was a people-pleasing technique that would affect people’s opinion of me: t he woman who could do it all, so that I can obtain a nice fame in their mind.Little did I know that I was also developing an autoimmune(自身免疫的) disease, which I have to believe was my body’s way of telling me to slow down. I had severely swollen joints an d brain fog butI pushed through so that I could look in the mirror at the end of the day and feel “accomplished”. The only things I was accomplishing were bad health and bed habits.And then a series of events changed everything: serious medical issues and losing my job. It took all that to help me see how intensely burnt out I was. I spent a lot of time thinking about where I had to be next instead of being present in the moment. But now, I wake up each day knowing that everything on my schedule has been purposefully agreed to.Looking back, I had the capability to suffer the pressure to say yes. I also felt it necessary to say yes, from driving people to the airport to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone’s problems and offered sound and immediate solutions. It was one big “yes” to everything.I was everyone’s cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way. But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it’s not saying no to caring for family and friends. Instead, it’s a minor change in mindset, taking a pause before automatically agreeing. I take a breath, do a quick count ofmy energy and ability before jumping in.8．Why did the author say yes to things she disliked?A．To please her boss. B．To prove her profession.C．To push herself to the limit. D．To earn herself a good reputation.9．How did the author deal with the changes in her body?A．She got rid of bad habits. B．She thought little of them.C．She slowed down her life pace. D．She paid more attention to her health.10．Which word can best describe the author?A．Purposeful. B．Stubborn. C．Reflective. D．Encouraging.11．What will the author do before saying yes?A．Find a cheerleader. B．Evaluate her situation.C．Breathe in some fresh air. D．Seek help from her friends.DLynda Doughty, a marine biologist, developed a passion for marine wildlife during her childhood. Growing up along the coast of Maine, she witnessed the impact of human activity on marine mammals and she made it her life’s work to protect them. “I feel this intense responsibility to help these animals,” Lynda said. “And, really, this is what I was put on this Earth to do.”Harbor seals are among the most common mammals found along the East Coast, and they face various threats to their well-being, including fishing net s and illegal feeding, chemical pollutants, as well as boat and propeller (螺旋桨) injuries.Earlier in her career, she worked for a marine mammal emergency response organization that eventually closed due to lack of funding. To fill the gap left by the group, Lynda started her ownnon-profit organization — Marine Mammals of Maine in 2011. It has since provided response and medical care for more than 3,000 marine mammals.Lynda’s team operates a 24-hour hotline that responds to calls regarding marine mammals in danger. Their permit allows them to respond to mammals stranded (搁浅) within 2,500 miles of the coastline, and her team only offers help if the mammal is in critical condition. Critically ill mammals are transported to Lynda’s center and nur sed back to health. Seals typically require three or more months of professional care treatment before they are released back into the ocean.In addition to mammal rescues, Marine Mammals of Maine conducts important research to learn about marine mammal habitats and human impacts. Marine mammals can give us clues about the ocean’s health, which ultimately affects human well-being as well. The organization also helpspromote marine conservation among youth and the local community. In addition, they instruct the public on what to do, and what not to do, when encountering wild species like harbor seals. 12．What do Lynda’s words mean?A．She was born along the coast of Maine.B．She ignored the impact of human activity.C．She did her work with a sense of mission.D．She protected marine wildlife at a young age.13．Why did Lynda set up Marine Mammals of Maine in 2011?A．To earn more money.B．To replace the group.C．To make the group a non-profit organization.D．To restart marine mammal emergency response.14．What can we learn about Lynda’s team from paragraph 4?A．It only treats critically ill seals.B．It rescues marine mammals in danger.C．It protects all endangered marine mammals.D．It stops people from fishing marine mammals.15．What’s the purpose of paragraph 5?A．To state younger generations need to be instructed.B．To stress the severe situations that marine life faces.C．To mention other social contributions of Lynda’s team.D．To show humans have a great impact on marine mammals.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，有两项为多余选项How to Survive a Lightning Strike?According to the National Weather Service, almost two-thirds of lightning accidents occur as people enjoy leisure activities outdoors. _16 _.

2023-2024学年重庆市高三上学期8月月考英语试题
2023-2024学年重庆市高三上学期8月月考英语试题Natural disasters are terrible events. They are difficult for adults and children. But adults should not be afraid to talk to children about natural disasters. Talking can not stop natural disasters from happening. But talking can help children feel safer and less afraid of the future. Here are five things adults can do when children show fear of natural disasters.First, adults should be willing to talk with children. When children are allowed to talk about their fears, they feel safer. Sometimes, the best thing an adult can do is just listen. Whatever the fear, it is important to listen and be patient with the child.Second, let children ask questions. When answering their questions, it is best to give short, honest answers. If you do not know the answer, you can be honest and say that you do not know.Third, it is important to wait until a child is ready to talk about a natural disaster. Adults should not force children to talk.Fourth, help children feel safe. There are many ways to do this. One way is very simple：adults can tell frightened children that they love them. It is also important for children to do the same things they do every day. Simple things like going to school and eating dinner can help children feel normal.Fifth, use activities to help children communicate their fears. Heshani was 13 when the Indian Ocean tsunami ruined her house in Sri Lanka. One year later, she was still living under the shadow (阴影) of the natural disaster. She did not like to visit her ruined house. And she did not want to talk about the problems her family had. However, she loved to write. And she often shared her feelings about the tsunami in her poems. Writing poems was a way for her to share her fears since she did not like to talk about them.1. What is the b est way when dealing with children’s fear of disasters?A．Answering their questions. B．Waiting for them to talk.C．Talking about disasters with them. D．Listening to them.2. Which of the following can help children feel safe according to the passage?A．Telling them they are loved. B．Sending them to school.C．Doing something different. D．Teaching them to write poems.3. What does the passage mainly talk about?A．How to deal with children’s fear of disasters.B．How to talk with children about natural disasters.C．Ways to help children understand disasters.D．Advice given to adults on overcoming children’s fear.“May 17, 2157Dear diary,Today, Tommy found a real book!...”“What’s it about?” Margie asked.“School.” replied Tommy, turning the yellow pages.“Why would anyone write about school? I hope they can take my geography teacher away.”“It’s not our school. This is the old sort that they had centuries ago.”“Anyway, they had a teacher.” Margie said, r eading the book over his shoulder.“Sure, they had a teacher, but it wasn’t a regular teacher. It was a man.”“A man? How could a man be a teacher?”“Well, he just told the boys and girls things and gave them assignments and asked them questions.”“A man isn’t smart enough.”“Sure, he is. My father knows as much as my teacher.”Margie wasn’t prepared to argue about that. She said, “I wouldn’t want a strange man in my house to teach me.”Tommy laughed. “The teachers didn’t live in the house. They had a spec ial building and all the kids went there.”“And all the kids learned the same thing?”“Sure, if they were the same age.”“But my mother says a teacher has to be adjusted to fit the mind of each boy and girl it teaches and that each kid has to be taught dif ferently.”“If you don’t like it, you don’t have to read the book.”“I didn’t say I didn’t like it,” Margie said quickly.They weren’t even half-finished when Margie’s mother called, “Margie! School!”“Not yet, Mamma.”“Now!” said Mrs. Jones.Margie said to Tommy, “Can I read the book some more with you after school?”“Maybe,” Tommy said.Margie went into the schoolroom, right next to her bedroom, and the mechanical teacher was on waiting for her.The screen was lit up, and it said, “Please insert yesterday’s assignments in the proper slot.”Margie was still thinking about the old schools they had when her grandfather’s grandfather was a little boy. All the kids from the whole neighborhood came, laughing and shouting in the schoolyard, sitting together in the schoolroom, going home together at the end of the day. They learned the same things, so they could help one another on the assignments and discussed them.And the teachers were people…4. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A．Margie doesn’t like her school.B．It’s common to read paper books in 2157.C．Online learning is what Margie wants.D．Tommy feels his father is smarter than his teacher.5. Which of the following is TRUE about a school in 2157?A．There are only female teachers at school.B．Teachers give no assignments to students.C．A special building is constructed for teachers.D．Students learn different things at their own pace.6. What does the underlined word “slot” probably mean?A．Envelope. B．Opening.C．Screen. D．Schoolroom.7. What can we learn about Margie’s feelings about old schools?A．Longing. B．Objection.C．Suspicion. D．Tolerance.A report from the UN warns that countries’ current commitments would reduce carbon by only about 7.5% by 2030, far less than the 45% cut, which scientists say is needed to limit global temperature rises to 1.5°C, the aim of the COP26 summit.António Guterres, the UN secretary-general, described the findings as a “thundering wake-up call” to world leaders, while experts called for action against fossil fuel companies.Although more than 100 countries have promised to reach net zero emissions around mid-century, this would not be enough to avoid climate disasters, according to the UN emissions report, which examines the shortfall (差额) between countries intentions and actions needed on the climate. Many of the net zero commitments were found to be unclear, and unless accompanied by strict cuts in emissions this decade would allow global heating of a potentially disastrous extent.Guterres said: “The heat is on, and as the contents of the report show, the leadership we need is off. Far off. Countries are wasting a massive opportunity to invest Covid-19 finance and recoveryresources in sustainable, cost-saving, planet-saving ways. As world leaders prepare for COP26, that is another thundering wake-up call. How many do we need?”Inger Andersen, the director of t he UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said: “Climate change is no longer a future problem. It is a now problem. To stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5℃, we have 8 years to almost halve greenhouse gas emissions: 8 years to make the plans, put in p lace the policies, carry them out and deliver the cuts. The clock is ticking loudly.”Emissions fell by about 5. 4% last year during Covid lockdowns, the report found, but only about one-fifth of the economic recovery spending goes towards reducing carbon emissions. This failure to “build back better”, despite promises by governments around the world, cast doubt on the world’s willingness to make the economic shift necessary to settle the climate crisis, the UN said.In the run-up to COP26, countries were supposed to submit (递交) national plans to cut emissions—called nationally determined contributions (NDCs) —for the next decade, a requirement under the 2015 Paris climate agreement. But the UNEP report found only half of countries had submitted new NDCs, and some governments had presented weak plans.8. Why were the findings described as a “thundering wake-up call” in Para. 2?A．Because the world has failed to live up to its current commitments.B．Because the opportunities presented by covid-19 have been wasted.C．Because the world is falling behind in slowing down temperature rises.D．Because the serious problems were brought about by global fossil fuels.9. The potential harm of global warming can be reduced if ________.A．current commitments of many countries remain unchangedB．huge gaps are bridged between previous and present proposalsC．global sustainable environmental resources develops significantlyD．strict measures are taken to reduce emissions in the coming ten years10. What is the writer’s purpose of quoting “How many do we need?” in Para. 4?A．To show the number of alarm clocks required.B．To explain the reason for the world’s wasting chances.C．To ask for the number of the countries attending the meeting.D．To stress the need to make the most of resources and reduce emissions.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Few countries have submitted plans to reduce the emissions.B．Many countries’ plans to cut emissions are far from satisfactory.C．Most of the countries work under the Paris Climate Agreement.D．Much progress in reducing emissions has been made these years.What is the most shocking about the heatwave affecting the Pacific Northwest is not that it has hit a usually mild area, nor that so many long-standing temperature records are being broken. It is that those records are being broken by such large margins (幅度). In Portland, Oregon, temperature reached 46.6℃(116°F) — making it one of several cities in the region where former records have been beaten by a full 5℃(9°F). At the same time, heatwaves are also hitting central Europe and even Siberia.Heatwaves may become headlines, but less attention is paid to them. In 2018 about 300,000 people over the age of 65 died as a result of extreme heat, mainly in India, a 54% increase since 2000, according to a report in the Lancet, a medical journal. The report also shows that, unlike storms and floods, heat does not lead to dramatic before-and-after pictures or widespread damage to belongings. It is a silent killer. As many as 70,000 people died due to a heatwave in Europe in 2003.Heat also kills by worsening health conditions such as heart problems, so not all the deaths it causes may be directly attributed (归因) to it. Climate change will make heatwaves more common and more extreme. Even if greenhouse-gas emissions (排放) are cut to zero by the middle of this century, temperatures will go on rising for decades. So other measures are needed to protect people against extreme heat.Governments can set up early warning systems to alarm health workers, shut down schools and stop outdoor activities. They can provide the public with forecasts of coming heatwaves, explanations of the dangers and detailed advice on what to do. Improved facilities can also help. This includes provid ing shaded areas, water parks and “misting stations” to help people cool down, and get to airconditioned “cooling centers” where they can find shelter and sleep if necessary.The world is, undoubtedly, facing a big health challenge right now. There is no excuse for ignoring heatwaves and their effects.12. What shocks us most about the heatwave in the Pacific Northwest?A．It has stricken a usually mild area.B．It hits central Europe except Siberia.C．Many temperature records are being broken.D．Many records are being broken by large margins.13. What can we learn from the report in the Lancer?A．People have paid much attention to heatwaves.B．Heat doesn’t cause widespread damage to belongings.C．The damage of heat is as obvious as storms and floods.D．About 300,000 middle-aged people died from extreme heat.14. What can governments do to protect people against heatwaves?A．Provide some cool places. B．Build nursing homes.C．Organize outdoor activities. D．Shelter the homeless.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Improving Public Facilities B．Taking Heatwaves SeriouslyC．Preventing Natural Disasters D．Reducing Greenhouse-gas EmissionMy mom was an astrophysicist, and Dad was a microelectronics specialist, each dealing with phenomenon bigger or smaller than the eye can see. As a kid, I was often into daydreaming that I won Oscars or Grammys (格莱美奖). 16 My parents, however, applied science and logic to most of the situations, like the time they cut the last olive (橄榄) in quarters because there were four of us.17 I watched “Powers of Ten,” a film by Charles and Ray Eames. Initially, they zoom (疾驰) out beyond our galaxy, moving 10 times farther away every 10 seconds, and then quickly zoom back into Earth, into a couple having a picnic, and then into his arm, hand, skin, atoms. It gave me a mix of existential fear and comfort.18 But the solar system itself seemed to me like a bunch of friendly, protective neighbor —especiallySaturn (土星). The first time I saw it, from an observatory on the hills of Barcelona, it was like what I imagine seeing Leonardo DiCaprio (莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥，著名影星) in person might be. 19 I later took to learning about S aturn’s weather and environment almost as if I were planning a holiday.Saturn is considered the master of the universe. Glancing at them has the effect of making you feel insignificant and momentous (重大的) at the same time.This summer, I traveled home for my mother’s 60-birthday-party, It consisted of a workshop (研讨会) in her honor in a small coastal town, with current and former colleagues of hers. I spent the day alone, swimming in the sea and joined them for meals while they presented papers to one another. All I had to do was sit, chat and quietly observe details. 20 They would travel to a scenic location to celebrate a birthday, then windup sitting indoors all day to discuss stars and planets.Although traditional pet stores are somewhere you buy a(n) _________ to be your friend at home, there’s a new kind of pet store _________ you spend some quality time with the animals and just walk away, without taking _________. What really _________ is the experience.I visited one of these stores in the Sanlitun area in Beijing. I was targeting call ducks, which are_________ for their cute looks and, of course, their high _________, each of them can _________ cost a few thousand yuan. Since I was not planning to spend so much on a duck, _________ them in one of these—what I’d call “mini-zoos”—seemed to be the _________ option.There were a __________ of five call ducks at the store—among other animals—and we__________ a good three hours with them. We got to learn much about them.Call ducks are not easy to get along with, so playing with them would include a lot of running from our side and quacking (呱呱叫) from theirs. Also, don’t expect them to be house-trained, one of the ducks actually pooped (排便) while __________ on my leg. But none of these little incidents reduced the __________ of holding them in my hands and touching their full chests. It was like the whole world’s joy was in my hands, for those call ducks are fun and __________—something I would hardly ever expect from work.That’s the __________ of animals: You don’t have own them—simply spending time with them is enough.21.A．animal B．apple C．instrument D．book22.A．that B．where C．how D．which23.A．nothing B．everything C．anything D．something24.A．matters B．moves C．separates D．keeps25.A．endless B．worthless C．important D．famous26.A．mistakes B．words C．prices D．feelings27.A．slightly B．easily C．immediately D．carefully28.A．talking B．eating C．visiting D．painting29.A．complicated B．perfect C．interesting D．peaceful30.A．extent B．prevention C．meaning D．total31.A．bought B．spent C．brought D．cost32.A．sitting B．remembering C．thinking D．saying33.A．gratitude B．forgiveness C．faith D．pleasure34.A．comforting B．annoying C．tough D．anxious35.A．envy B．pity C．duty D．magic阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 36 part of the learning process. But alltoo often as parents and teachers we disallow this 37 right to our children.When I see a child 38 to this kind of pressure, I think ofDonnie.Donnie was my youngest third grader. His 39 of failure kept him from classroom gamesthat other children enjoyed. He 40 answered questions —he might be wrong.I triedmy best to build his 41. Butnothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned (安排)to our classroom.She was young and pretty, and she lovedchildren. My pupils, Donnie included, 42 her.One morning, we were working mathproblems at the chalkboard. Donnie had 43 the problems with painstaking neatness.Pleased with his progress, I 44 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 45 . He’d missed the third problem.My student teacher looked at me in despair.Suddenly her face 46. Fromthe desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.;Look, Donnie,; shesaid, kneeling beside him and gently 47 the tear stained face from his arms.;I’ve got something to48you.; She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.;See these 49 , Donnie,;she continued. ;They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are 50 ? That’s because we make mistakes too.But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you 51learn to do, too.;She kissed him and stood up.;Here,; she said, ;I’ll leave one of these pencils on 52 desk so you’ll remember that everybodymakes mistakes, 53 teachers.;Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.The pencil became Donnie’s 54 possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually 55 him that it’s all right to make mistakes— as long as you erase them and try again.36. A.small B. basic C. necessaryD.large37.

Five yearsago, however, all Tanam could do was to stay in bed until noon, and then stareat the sky through the window, waiting for his parents’ return.His mother Yangzom saidshe had no other choice but to lock him in the house every day as she and herhusband had to work and they did not want to allow the boy to roam(闲逛) thestreets.〝Every day when I cameback home and saw my lonely poor son, I felt my heart hurt. But now I canfinally feel a bit relieved,〞 the mother said. She said it was the school thatchanged his son. 〝Without the school, I dared not imagine how my son would benow.〞With a governmental fundof 4.5 million yuan, the special education school was founded in 2000. The onlygovernment-run school for handicapped children in Tibet, it now has 28 teachersand 120 school children in nine classes of 5 grades. Eight classes in the school are for deaf kids and the other one is for blind kids.Students can enjoy freefood, boarding, clothing and medical services in the school, which is open todeaf and blind children from all over the autonomous region.Tibetan sign languageand Tibetan braille are basic courses here. Children also have Tibetan, Chinese, mathematics, science, painting, dancing and sports lessons.A 〝black and white〞te_tbook seemed appealing among the colorful books in Tanam’s schoolbag. Thete_t was handwritten.It was the Tibetanlanguage te_tbook compiled and written by teachers themselves.〝As te_tbooks forstudents in ordinary schools sometimes are too abstract and hard for our kidsto understand, two other Tibetan language teachers and I compiled the te_tbookto make things easier for them,〞 said teacher Dawa.Those books with the love of all the teachers,though not spoke out, will surely help children enjoy their life by supportingthemselves after leaving the school.56. Howold was the Dainzin Tanam when he began to go to the Lhasa Special Education School?A. 16 years oldB.11 years old C.21 years old D.5years old57. Whatis the parents’ feeling about the special school?A. relievedB. e_citedC. gratefulD. lighthearted58. Whowrote the 〝black and white〞 te_tbooks for the children?A. DawaB.The teachers in the special schoolC. Dawa and another two teachersD.nobody but sent by the government59. We can infer from the te_t ____.A. most ofthe handicapped children in this school are from poor families.B. thestudents are of the same age in the Lhasa Special Education School.C. theteachers made up te_tbooks for the students to study more easily.D. theeducation received from the school will have a great effect on the children’sfuture life.BThere are two types of people inthe world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and theresulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fi_their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy thinkand speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt)manypeople, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind wasfounded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. Theintention of criticizing (批评)andbeing disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿).It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong , butit may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on theirinterests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, andhelp them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly anact of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deepsorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and noone treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aimat getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes themsuccess. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. Ifthey bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or e_cuse them,and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this badhabit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly aboutthemselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid anycontact (接触)with them. Otherwise, it can bedisagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mi_edup in their quarrels.60．〝The phrase〝sourthe pleasure of society〞most nearly means________.A. have a good taste with sociallife B. makeothers unhappyC. tend to scold others openlyD. enjoy the pleasure of life61．We can conclude from the passagethat________.A. we should pity all such unhappypeople B.such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habitof unhappiness D. unhappy people cannot understand happy persons62．If such unhappy persons insist on keeping thehabit , the author suggests that people should ___.A. prevent any communication withthem B.show no respect and politeness to themC. persuade them to recognize thebad effects D.quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes63．In this passage, the writer mainly________.A. describes two types of peopleB. laughs at the unhappy peopleC. suggests ways to help them unhappyD.tells people how to be happy in lifeCThe publication of ;Harry Potter andthe Half-Blood Prince; gladdens booksellers across China. The British and American editions were No. 1 and No. 3 respectively on the sales chart of theBeijing _idan Book Building last week. The book’s poster is highlighted andnews about the book can often be heard on the radio.Why is the book so attractive tochildren? With curious mood, the author got a copy of ;Harry Potter;. Originally, I wanted to glance over it and made some criticisms. But, out ofe_pectation, the author has been deeply attracted by the magic world. On theother hand, one cannot help asking: where is our own ;Harry Potter;?The Chinese nation has a history of 5,000years, which cannot be regarded as short and its culture as not profound. Witha vast market of youngsters, China did publish many books popular among children. However, why are the present works not as good as those imported?There come two major reasons: Firstly,quite a number of children’s books are of strong sense of teaching, and lackinterest and entertainment. Children often have a feeling of being;educated;. No wonder they don’t like them. Secondly, children’s reading materials involving ;idiom stories; and ;Chinesetalents’ stories;, though always in different covers, are usually much thesame or plagiarized. One knows the ending as early as in the beginning. Infinal analysis, the authors of the books seldom take children’s requirementsinto consideration.As a matter of fact, each child has hisown wonderful imagination. They long to understand the world and nature. Similarly they have their own choices. They dislike similar stories, even ifthe stories are e_cellent. First-class reading for children should be very interesting, which contains knowledge and the essence of national culture, which are presented in children’s language.Market is a touchstone for products. Thetheory also holds true for cultural products. It is hoped that the authors ofchildren’s books can learn something from the good market of ;Harry Potter; and write out more and better books loved by children.64.The disadvantages of our books are the following e_cept____A. they have little sense ofinterest and entertainmentB. many of our books are ofthe sameC. the authors didn’t pay muchattention to the children’s tastes.D. Our authors never know whatour children need.65.The reason why the imported book is so popular is that _____.A. it has no sense of teachingB.it opens a wonderful world for children to e_ploreC. it is only written inchildren’s language D.it is advertised more on TV or poster.66.What’s the feeling of the writer when he finishes reading 〝Harry Potter〞?A. He is so angry that hewants to criticize the bookB. He is also attracted by thebookC. He is shocked by the book,meanwhile he is worried about our books.D. He can’t help looking forHarry Potter.67.What does the writer mean by writing 〝where’s our own Harry Potter〞?A. We are short of books forchildrenB. We Chinese must producebooks as popular as 〝Harry Potter〞.C. Authors should write booksin the same way as 〝Harry Potter〞D. Our authors are hoped tomake the market of our books for children take offDPeaceful Useof Space Resources Drives China’s Space ProgramChina’s successful launchof its second manned spacecraft Shenzhou-6 has drawn worldwide applause. It hasbecome the third nation in the world capable of putting men into space.It is widely believedhome abroad that the latest progress made by China will surely improve nationalcohesiveness(内聚性)and make the country’s 1.3 billion people more confident in their future in terms of social and economic progress.However, some people inand outside China describe China’s manned space program as a prestige project which yields little economic benefit.They argue that billionsof US dollars spent on the decade-old space program may be better used for poverty relief and education as millions of Chinese still have a poor living and many children cannot afford basic schooling. However, mankind does need to make use of space resources for sustainable human development.Space technology hasbecome increasingly important for the e_ploration and peaceful use of space resources due to the shrinking reserve of natural resources on the Earth.Lunar reserve of isotopehelium 3 is sufficient for human need for about 10,000 years, which is attractive to the mankind being troubled by high oil prices and limited oilreserve.China has benefited fromthe dividend of its investment in space sector. Space technology has become anindispensable part of people’s daily life, such as weather forecast, telecommunications, disaster reduction, and resources prospecting.Striving hard to feedits 1.3 billion people and more in the future, China has been developing improved species of crops on the basis of space technology, mostly through recoverable satellites and spacecraft.Information obtainedfrom Shenzhou-3 and Shenzhou-4 in Earth observation has been used for maritime(海上的) pollutioncontrol and desertification(沙漠化) control projects,which is useful for China and other parts of the world.China has listed spacetechnology and information technology among the country’s seven high-tech fields in its national high-tech research and development program initiated in1986.68. Whichpoint of view may the author not agree to?A. The successful launchis significant to the development of our country.B. The successful launchproves that our space technology is advanced in the world.C. Though the launch issuccessful, it benefits little in term of economy.D. It’s necessary toe_plore resources in space.69. Some people thinkChina’s manned space program yields little economic benefits as they think about the following e_cept _____.A. there are many poorareas in China lacking supports.B. many children can’tgo to school because of poverty.C. it will delay theprogress of economy.D. it costs too much onthe space program.70. Whichsupports the idea of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?A. Resources are shrinkingall over the world B.There are enough useful resources for human use.C. The mankind isworrying about less and less oil resource D.All above71.What does the underlined word 〝prestige〞 perhaps mean in the3rd paragraph?A. fameB.success C.failure D.prideESuppose you work in a big firm andfind English very important for your job because you often deal with foreign businessmen.

C relieved宽慰的;e_cited激动的;grateful感激的;lightheated轻松愉快的 .根据第四段最后一句〝Without theschool, I dared not imagine how my son would be now.〞可以确定父母流露出的是感激之情.58. C倒数第三段two other Tibetanlanguage teachers and I可知由Dawa和另两位老师编写的.59.A 从第六小节可知学生免费食宿,第五段中可知全部有政府出资建校学校,由此可以推测多数孩子来自贫困家庭.文章的第五段可知学生年龄不一,因此B是错误的推测;倒数第二段teacher Dawa讲的那句话正是C选项的意思;文章的最后一段意思D选项相似.所以答案为A.60．B 提示:〝sour〞是〝变酸〞的意思;当然可以从短语所在那句话中轻易得出.61．C 提示:作者用大量笔墨表达了这个观点.并且在二.三段中更有直接的叙述.62．A 提示:最后一段中有这样一句〝If they don’t,it will be good for others toavoid any contact with them〞,由此可知.63．C 提示:通读全文可知,作者在描述了这类人后,提出了大量建议,从而最终归结到写作目的去.64.D文章第四段可以确定ABC三个选项的内容.该段的最后一句说作者很少考虑孩子的需求,并没有说作者从来不知道孩子需要什么.65.B第四段解释为何中国的书籍不受欢迎的原因可以反衬进口的书籍之所以畅销.66.C 第二段的第三句话out of e_pectation, the authorhas been deeply attracted by the magic world. On the other hand, one cannot help asking: where is our own ;Harry Potter;?说明作者被书所震惊,同时不得不深思.67. D第三段的China did publish many books popularamong children.说明中国并非缺乏图书可以排除A选项.B,C相对于D项意义狭窄.文章的最后一句是总的概括,希望中国的作者们能够像;Harry Potter;一样拥有市场.It is hoped that the authors ofchildren’s books can learn something from the good market of ;Harry Potter; and write out more and better books loved by children.所以选D 为正确答案.68. C 第一段的It has becomethe third nation in the world capable of putting men into space.说明B 项正确;阅读文章可知在第三段提到some people的观点……whichyields little economic benefit.,不是作者的观点;第二段符合A项叙述的内容;第四段最后一句However, mankinddoes need to make use of space resources for sustainable human development.说明D项正确.所以答案为C.69. C 第四段第一句billions ofUS dollars spent on the decade-old space program may be better used for povertyrelief and education as millions of Chinese still have a poor living and manychildren cannot afford basic schooling.包含了A.B.D三个选项的内容,some people并没有说太空计划会延误经济的发展,所以C符合提问要求.70. D 第五节due to theshrinking reserve of natural resources on the Earth.和第六节Lunar reserve of isotope helium 3 is sufficient for human need for about 10,000 years,。

AIn the fall of 1985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In , I gave birth to another boy.[You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream , either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In , I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the mids t of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams.26.

She wanted to study by herself.B. She fell in love and got married.C. She suffered from a serious illness.D. She decided to look after her grandma.28. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?She was busy yet happy with her family life.B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.29.What dose the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little ,one goes far.C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun ,half done.30.Which of the following can best describe the author ?A. Caring and determine.B. Honest and responsible.C. Ambitious and sensitiveD. Innocent and single-minded.B"I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA . "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said ‘yes’ and it was announced again."It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana----she was still on cloud nine．"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience （观众）that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher. Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete（比赛）．"She's always been my role model．I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot...”When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."31.What do the words “on cloud nine” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. frightenedB. troubledC. very happyD. very angry32.Shelley takes her dance teachers as a role model mainly because she is_ .A. determinedB. friendlyC. strictD. experienced33.How many children did the Hennigs have according to the text?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.34.What did Shelley often do after she became Miss Louisiana Teen?A.

"Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Ten nessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder."Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library .com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books-reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members-included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since , they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of .”The Richters spend about ＄400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”41.What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A.
