The Most Frightening Day of My Life

Several years ago, I was spending Christmas in Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. My brother Jose was working there and he couldn't get any time off (21)_____(come) home, so I spent the holiday with him. We decided to go up Mount Teide, a volcano in the centre of the island, and officially the second (22)_____(large) mountain in Europe. This was the last day of my visit, so we hired a little car for the day---I couldn't drive, but my brother (23)______.

Jose and I set off in brilliant sunshine. but it got much colder and by the time we reached the Crater(火山口) of Mount Teide it was snowing. All the restaurants, hotels and gas stations at the top of the volcano (24)______(close), and we had almost run out of petrol. I, started getting really worried (25)______ I had to catch the plane home that evening, and if I didn't, I would have to pay for a new ticket. So Jose decided to do something dangerous一he switched off the engine of the car and freewheeled down the other side of the mountain.

He did this for several kilometres, round hairpin bends on dangerous, icy roads. Though (26)________( scare) to death, I didn't tell him to stop for some reason.

Then the worst thing happened: the car slipped on the road and the two front wheels went over the edge. We were very lucky that the rest of the car didn't go over. We sat in the car, not (27)____(dare) to move. A car came round the corner and out (28)_____(jump) three enormous men.(29)_____saying a word, the three men surrounded the car and literally lifted it back on the road.

My brother and I got out to thank them, but the three men just repeated 'Norway' several times 一we assumed that that was (30)____they came from—then got back into their car and drove off.

We were so relieved we could have kissed them! We got back into our car and continued down the side of the

mountain. I have never felt so happy in my life as we reached the town at the bottom.

A Bright Future for Girls

Worldwide, 130 million girls are out of school. At the United Nations two years ago, leaders promised to ensure every girl receives 12 years of education by 2030, but contributions from donor countries have declined. Some days are hard—but I refuse to believe the world will always be as it is; 31 is happening.

At the Malala Fund, we are investing in educators in developing countries. These 32 understand the challenges girls face in their communities-child marriage, poverty, conflicts and wars—and are best

33 to develop solutions. In Afghanistan, they are 34 female teachers to work in rural schools. In Nigeria, they are running clubs to help girls resist family 35 to drop out and marry as young as 13 years old. In Lebanon, they are developing e-learning programs to teach STEM skills to Syrian refugee girls. I believe we can see every girl in school in my lifetime. I believe in girls like Najlaa, who are leading the fight for themselves and their sisters. I believe in the millions of people who support our 36 .

Earliest this year, someone asked me, "After everything you've been 37 and everything you've seen, how do you keep yourself from being hopeless?" After talking for a moment about all the things to be grateful for in my own life, I said, "I think it's 38 to be hopeless. If you are

hopeless, you waste your 39 and your future." If we want a brighter future--for them and for ourselves—we must 40 in girls today.

【答案】31-35 I A E J H 36-40 D K F G C

【试题解析】

31. I 根据前文“but I refuse to believe the world will always be as it is”，因此可知，变化正在发生。所以填I。

32. A 前文提到“fund”基金，可知此处应为捐助者、拥护者理解…，故选A。

33. E 考查固定搭配，be placed to 被置于…

34. J 考查形容词，她们是新组建的女老师，故填J.

35. H 考查句意，根据前句resist,帮助他们抵制来自家庭的压力，所以填H。

36. D 许多人支持我们的运动。

37. K 考查句意，通过，穿过

38. F 考查句意，根据后句提到hopeless，故选F。

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Professor Heinz Wolff, who has died aged 89, was a bioengineering pioneer: he established the discipline, named it and, in a 60-year career, made significant contributions to medical research. But to the British public, he was best known as the "dotty scientist" who fronted The Great Egg Race, a BBC show in which colour-coded teams were set engineering challenges (the first was to transport an egg in a vehicle powered by rubber bands). With his trademark bow tie, half-moon glasses and Mitteleuropean accent, he looked really like Professor Branestawn, as described by W. Heath Robinson. Yet while he cheerfully exploited his reputation as a "peculiar egghead", he was very serious about his work and inspired thousands of young people to consider scientific careers.

Born in Berlin in 1928, Heinz Wolff was the son of Jewish parents. His mother died in 1938, and the next year the family fled. They arrived in Britain on the day war was declared. "We really cut it rather fine," he said on Desert Island Discs in 1998. After leaving school, he worked as a technician at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, where he invented a machine to count red blood cells, and then at the National Institute for Medical

Research's pneumoconiosis research unit in Cardiff, where he designed a means of measuring dust levels in coal miners. He went on to study at University College London and graduated with a first in physics and physiology. Then, in 1983, he founded the Institute for Bioengineering at Brunel University. His particular interest was in technologies to improve the lives of older people, but he was also heavily involved in space research and worked as an adviser to the European Space Agency.

Wolff had made his first appearance on TV on Panorama in 1966, encouraging Richard Dimbleby to swallow a "radio pill". On The Great Egg Race, which ran from 1979; his task was to get opponent teams representing organisations such as the chemical company ICI to "zolfe a friendish engineering problem". Challenges included building a hovercraft from a lawnmower, and inventing a bicycle that could ride on water. Marks were awarded for entertainment value and technical accomplishment. The show ended in the mid-1980s, but Wolff continued to judge scientific competitions, on TV and elsewhere. A natural entertainer with an inexhaustible curiosity about the world, he said he'd be happy to dress up as a clown if it got children interested in science.

56.The word "dotty" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to_______.

A. famous

B. genius

C. peculiar

D. serious

57. Which of the following statements is true of Heinz Wolff according to the passage?

A. He invented a machine while in University College London.

B. His interest lay in helping those living in war-stricken areas.

C. He used to major in physics and physiology.

D. His family left Berlin after WWII began.

58.Heinz Wolff didn't mind looking ridiculous as long as________.

A. he could appear on TV to judge scientific competitions

B. he could help arouse children's interest in science

C. he could combine entertainment and technology

D. he could keep being curious about the world

59.Which of the following is an achievement made by Heinz Wolff?

A. Representing a chemical company.

B. Setting up the subject of bioengineering.

C. Being the first scientist to front TV shows.

D. Designing a method to count red blood cells.

【答案解析】：

56.C 根据语境可知，在这里主要说他是一个古怪的科学家，因此答案C. peculiar意为古怪的，在下文"peculiar egghead"提到。C选项符合题意。

57. C 根据文中“He went on to study at University College London and graduated with a first in physics and physiology“.可以看出他主修物理学和生物学。所以C选项符合题意。

58. B 根据文章最后一句“he said he'd be happy to dress up as a clown if it got children interested in science“.可以看出，如果能让孩子们对科学感兴趣，他很乐意装扮成小丑。所以B选项符合题意。

59. B 根据文中“in 1983, he founded the Institute for Bioengineering at Brunel University. “ 可以看出”1983年，他在布鲁内尔大学建立了生物工程研究所。故B选项符合题意。

(C)

The concept of planning entire communities before their construction is an ancient one. In fact, one of the earliest such cities on record is Miletus, Greece, which was built in the 4th century BC. Throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance various planned communities (both theoretical

and actual) were conceived (构思）. Leonardo da Vinci designed several cities that were never

constructed. Following the Great Fire of London in 1666, the architect Christopher Wren created a new master plan for the city, combining park land and urban space. Several 18th century cities, including Washington D.C., New York City, and St Petersburg, Russia, were built according to comprehensive planning.

One of the most important planned city concepts, the Garden City Movement, arose in the latter part of the 19th century as a reaction to the pollution and crowding of the Industrial Revolution. In 1898, Ebenezer Howard published the book To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path for Real Reform in which he laid out his ideas concerning the creation of new economically sustainable towns. Howard believed that these towns should be limited in size and density, and surrounded with a belt of undeveloped land. The idea gained enough attention and financial backing to lead to the creation of Letchworth, in Hertfordshire, England. This was the first such 'Garden City', After the First World War, the second town built following Howard's ideas, Welwvn Garden City, was constructed.

In the early 1920s, American architects Clarence Stein and Henry Wright, inspired by Howard's ideas and the success of Letchworth and Welwyn. created the city of Radbum. New Jersey. Conceived as a community which would be safe for children, Radbum was intentionally designed so that the residents would not require automobiles. Several urban planning designs were pioneered

at Radbum that would influence later planned communities, including the separation of pedestrians and vehicles, and the use of ' superblocks', each of which shared 23 acres of commonly held parkland.

In America, following the stock market crash of 1929, there was great demand for both affordable housing and employment for workers who had lost their jobs. In direct response.to this, in 1935 President Roosevelt created the Resettlement Administration, which brought about a total of three greenbelt towns: Greenbelt, Maryland; Greenhills, Ohio; and Greendale, Wisconsin. These towns contained many of the elements of the Garden City Movement developments, including the use of superblocks and a 'green belt' of undeveloped land surrounding the community

63. The first paragraph talks mainly about .

A. f amous urban planners

B. the history of urban planning

C. the future examples of urban planning

D. problem associated with urban planning

64. What can be learned about the Garden City Movement from the second paragraph?

A. I t came just before the Industrial Revolution.

B. I t was held back by a war and a lack of funds.

C. I t resulted in cities that were larger than they had been before.

D. I t was designed to address problems caused by modernization.

65. What was one aim in designing the city of Radbum?

A. T o reduce the danger for families living in the area.

B. T o create something totally different from cities elsewhere.

C. T o make sure people could park their cars close to their home.

D. T o increase green spaces by designing houses with gardens.

66. What do the towns of Greenbelt, Greenhills and Greendale all have in common?

A. T heir residents were affected by the stock market collapse.

B. T hey were built for the wealthiest people in America.

C. T hey were each surrounded by natural parkland.

D. T hey were all constructed in the same year.

Section C

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

The birds that steal fire

Some birds of prey have learned to control fire, a skill we thought was unique to humans.

67 .

There are many stories about Australian birds of prey using fire, says ornithologist(鸟类学家）

Bob Gosford at the Central Land Council in Alice Springs. The three species mentioned are black kites, whistling kites and brown falcons.

The claim is that the birds pick up burning branches from existing fires and drop them elsewhere to start new fire. This would drive out prey hidden in the brush. In effect, tl1e birds use burning sticks as tools. At least, that's the idea.

In 2016, Gosford's suggestions got global coverage, but biologists doubted that birds deliberately start fires. 68 .

The most dramatic evidence comes from Dick Eussen, a former firefighter who co-wrote the paper. He recounts fighting a fire at the Ranger Uranium Mine near Kakadu, only to find a new one on the other side of the road. 69 The bird carried a smoking stick, which it dropped, creating another fire. In all, Eussen extinguished seven new fires started by the kite.

"We believe the observations by Eussen and others provide evidence this behavior occurs, that it is intentional and that it may happen more frequently than suspected," says Gosford. He now plans to film wild birds around fires under controlled conditions. However, the new accounts have already won over those who doubted that birds purposely started fires.

"I didn't doubt that black kites spread fires, but I now think the new evidence is persuasive that fire spreading is deliberate, rather than accidental," says Steve Debus at the University of New England. He poin out that some birds use bread to attract fish, and he has seen black kites do it. If they can do that, "then they have the intelligence to spread fires too'.

70 "The reports tend to suggest that only a few individuals learn this behaviour, but we don't have enough evidence to say anything conclusive about that," says co-author Mark Bonta of Pennsylvania State University.

【答案】67-70 EADC

【试题解析】

67. E 根据前段所说，“鸟类已经学会了控制火，这与人类相同”及后文提到“关于鸟的故事有很多”，所以选E ，“他们能够用火来驱赶猎物”

68. A 前文提到生物学家对此有怀疑，因此后文继续讲到的是科学家的实验，故选A.

69. D 根据后文，小鸟带着一根冒烟的棍子，所以前文应为当鸟类…，故选D.

70. C 对全文进行总结，说明这种行为是稀少的。

IV. Summary Writing

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.

Planted Forests in Ireland

Planted forests are far from universally popular. In Ireland, the criticisms focus on the sitka spruce, a fast-growing, damp-tolerant tree from America's Pacific Northwest. Spruce plantations are said to contain no life. They are accused of wrecking rural communities and driving farmers off the land. And they are said to be out of place in a mostly pastoral (田园风光的)setting. Gerry McGovern, another farmer in County Leitrim, puts it bluntly: conifer forests are "not landscape".

The first charge is false. Mark Wilson of the British Trust for Ornithology says that spruce plantations support more bird life than farmland, largely because they harbour more insects. Inevitably, some birds benefit more than others. The march of spruces across -Br1tain and Ireland has increased the numbers of spruce loving birds such as siskins and crossbills. 一．．

The second accusation that trees push out other kinds of agriculture, is only partly true. Forestry subsidies (补贴)and regulations have indeed changes Ireland's land market. Farmers who plant trees get generous payments for 15 years, while continuing to receive ordinary farming subsidies. At that point, with perhaps 20 years to go before spruces are harvested, they often sell to pension funds and other investors.

The final accusation, that forests are dramatically changing the appearance of the countryside, is spot-on. Advocates may point to a forested past. But rural people have become used to the landscape as it is, and often do not want it to change. What worries Mr Stenson, in County Leitrim, is not just that the ever-spreading trees will displace farmers and make it hard for him to acquire more land, but also that they will prevent him from seeing his neighbours' lights at night.

【答案】

In Ireland, the sitka spruce is criticized but not all the charges are true.(要点一) First, spruces support life because some birds love nesting there for the insects.(要点二)Second, it’s partly true that they rob farmer of their farmland, because farmers get subsidies from planting trees and farming.(要点三)Lastly, though they change the landscape, farmers don’t want that change to happen.(要点四)
