Simultaneously ， important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand ﹣ delivered to the offices of all the major news companies．One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin， a

reviews were glowing．Within weeks， Anytime had become a part of daily life．Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster．Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was． He tried to find out who owned the company， but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public ． He did find some interesting facts， though ． Anyone who challenged the company， it seemed， met with serious trouble ． A government official critical of Anytimefor avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared

Paris， a small metal cylinder（圆柱体） rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars． It has lain there for more than a century ，its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room's three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal ．First， the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft，alcohol﹣soaked cloth．Then it is steamed with pure water ． Finally ， the 1kg cylinder is returned ， carefully ， to its resting place．Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual ， but has a purpose． The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining，circular metal is its holiest relic ．It is the defining mass （质量）against which all other kilograms are measured． This is the international prototype ， or standard， of the kilogram ． The IPK ，in short ．Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made．They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations' weights and measures systems ．But the days of the IPK ， in its current form ， are numbered． The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement ﹣ based on electric current﹣in order to define the mass of an"One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security，" says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson ． "If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed， we would have no reference left for the world's metric weights system．There would be chaos． The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris，after all ． "Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements． "Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram， " says Robinson ． "We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy． "（ 1）What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs？A ． It's cared for with great devotion ．B ． It's used in religious ceremonies ．C． It's beautifully designed and decorated ．D ． It's the most valuable metal in the world ．（ 2）Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5？A ． rebuiltB ． removedC． destroyedD ． upgraded（ 3）What is a reason for replacing the current IPK ？A ． To protect the metal cylinder from damage ．B ． To make taking measurements more economical ．C． To provide all countries with the same standard ．D ． To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness ．（4）What can be a suitable title for the text ？A ． No more kilosB ． A heavy technologyD ． The history of measures第二节（满分 10

I told him I was concerned about the damage to my car， as the continuing rain was starting to turn into hail（冰雹）．Trent then grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car ．（3）Fortunately ， his efforts saved my car from being damaged by the hail ．By 11 ：00 a．m．， the electricity and phone services had both gone ．（ 4）Trent made me a cup of tea and Kayti gave me a towel to dry myself off．The three of us chatted while waiting for the weather to get better． I learned that Trent had lost his job and was struggling to feed the family ．When the hail stopped ， I shook Trent's hand and kissed Kayti goodbye ．（ 5）I was very moved by their kindness and it renewed my faith in people．As I went out the door ， I asked Trent for two of his business cards ． My father has since called to offer him a

world ， studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading ． These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys，and have a more positive attitude toward reading ．There are several reasons that help explain these gender﹣ based differences． Parents read more with their daughters ． This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls ， as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage．Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls ， girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents．So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially ﹣ engineered gap for boys' reading？To improve boys' reading performance， parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading ． This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so ﹣called "boy ﹣ friendly" books that boys supposedly "prefer" ． These are typically assumed to be non﹣fiction works ， as many people believed that boys prefer to read non ﹣ fiction ．But this belief is not supported by recent research ， which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non﹣fiction．Encouraging all boys to read non﹣fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful．Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability ．Besides encouraging more fiction reading ， there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books ． Firstly ， don't assume that boys of the same age have the samematerial ， have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests．Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling ． Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys，and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class ． Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading ．In addition ， we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls．Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model． Let your children or students see you read for pleasure．（ 1）According to the author，what is the main cause of the difference in boys'and girls' reading ability ？BA ． Social factors ．B ． Teaching methods．C． Personal preferences．D ． Psychological differences ．（ 2）Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading ？BA ． To persuade boys to read more often．B ． To learn what boys are most interested in ．C． To help boys improve their language ability ．D ． To show that adults are good reading role models ．（ 3）When should schools give students additional library access according to the author ？CA ． Before and after class．B ． At any time of the school day ．C． At regular times during class ．D ． When they are in the lower grades ．（ 4）What is the main purpose of the text ？DA ． To show students ways to improve their reading ．C． To urge governments to provide more reading resources ．D ． To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability．【考点】 O5：科教类阅读．【分析】本文是提供有助于提高男孩阅读能力的策略．作者建议父母多和男孩子讨论阅读，以此了解男孩子的兴趣爱好．【解答】 BBCD1． B．细节理解题．根据第一段"There are several reasons that help explain these gender ﹣based differences． Parents read more with their daughters ． This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls" 可知，父母对子女的教育方法，是造成男女阅读能力差异的主要原因，通常女儿阅读量更大．故选 A ．2．B ．细节理解题．根据第六段 " To match boys with suitable reading material ， have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests ． " 可知，作者建议父母多和男孩子讨论阅读，以此了解男孩子的兴趣爱好．故选 B ．3． C．细节理解题．根据倒数第二段"Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling" 可知，根据作者的说法，学校在上课的时间，即上学期间，给学生额外的图书馆资源．故选C．4． D．细节理解题．根据第四段"To improve boys' reading performance "可知，本文是提供有助于提高男孩阅读能力的策略．故选D．【点评】阅读理解考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．3．（ 8 分） "Anything you want ， anytime you need it ．"The message

Make a difference with your photographyTake the chance to make a real difference with your photography and contribute to One Minute on Earth, a project aiming to help street children around the world.We all live on the planet Earth, in different time zones and different parts of the world. When you read this, it will be night in one part of the world and morning somewhere else. A sunset and a sunrise is always there at any minute on earth.In 2015 on the 7 th of April at 13:00 (New York time), 200 photographers all around the world clicked on the button of their cameras all within the same minute on earth. From all these amazing landscape photos and stories, a photobook was made which was sold to raise money for charity.100% of this profit was donated to the AshalayamDeutschland organisation which used this money to support a street children center in Kolkata India. You can still buy this book from our website, which will help us continue to support the kids.We plan to hold this event annually, with the next one scheduled on June 21 st 201 7 at 21:00 (New York time). Money raised from the sale of the new photobook will goto a home in South Africa where 75 parentless childrenlive. This year’s event will include not only landscape photos but also street photos. The main rule is that the sky must be shown in the photo, so all can see at whattime it was shot when this year’s One Minute on Earthgot to you.1. What is the main goal of One Minute on Earth ?A. To raise money for children.B. To publish a photobook.C. To find the best picture.D. To take pictures of different places.2. What do the 2015 and 201 7 events have in common?A. They take place on the same date.B. They each produce a photobook.C. They require the same type of picture.D. The money raised goes to the same children.3. What is the main rule of the 201 7 event?A. All photos must be landscapes.B. The photos must be taken in Africa.C. The sky must appear in every photo.D. Each photographer can submit only one photo.2. For many people, leisure time is an opportunity to get outdoors, have some fun and meet interesting people. Add two pieces of advanced 21 st century technology — global positioning system (GPS) devices and the Internet — toget “geocaching”.The word geocaching comes from “geo” (earth) and “cache” (hidden storage). Geocachers log onto a website to find information about the location of a cache — usually a waterproof plastic box containing small items such as toysand CDs —along with a notebook where “finders” canenter comments and learn about the cache “owner”, theperson who created and hid the cache. Finders may take any of the items in the cache but are expected to replace them with something of similar value. They then visit the website again and write a message to the owner.Geocaching became possible on May 1, 2000, when a satellite system developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was made public. Using an inexpensive GPS device, anyone on earth can send a signal to the satellites and receive informationabout their position. This is basically a high-tech versionof orienteering, the traditional pastime which uses maps and compasse s instead of GPS to determine one’s location.Geocachers are a very considerate group. Owners carefully choose a cache’s location to give finders an enjoyable experience, such as a beautiful view or a good campsite. They also consider the environmental impact of their cache since it could result in an increased number of visitorsto an area. As for the content of the caches, owners and finders must only use items that are suitable for thewhole family, as caches are found by geocachers of all ages.1. According to the passage, geocaching is __________.A. an outdoor leisure activityB. a new type of technologyC. a game used to teach geographyD. a program to protect environment2. How can finders learn about the cache owners?A. By meeting them.___________________________________B. Bygoing to a website.C. From the notebook.D. From the satellite.3. Which of the following is NOT used in geocaching?A. A GPS device.B. A compass.C. A plastic container.______________D. The Internet.4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Most geocachers are adults.B. Any item can be placed in the caches.C. The caches should be put in a remote place.D. Geocachers try to avoid damaging the environment.3. As a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn’t find the chimps’ tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus.And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts — men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeysplaying football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almostextinct, and zoos have definitely evolved.When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas andstaring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal’s name and where it came from. But,back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced.As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common — and understandable — complaint. But what do the animalsthemselves prefer?Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But —you may protest — they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sit ting in a cage eating bananas isn’t so bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA’s approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organises the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course it’s no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn’t always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?1. The passage is mainly about __________.A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closed downC. a new environmental organisationD. the difference between zoos and circuses2. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals __________.A. had much shorter lives than those in the wildB. were not treated well by their trainersC. should have been placed in zoosD. were not as intelligent as those in zoos3. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?A. Organising animal study projects and training zoo workers.B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges.C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.4. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past.C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals.4. Far out in the lake was a large wooden platform on which stood animprobably high diving board — a kind of wood en Eiffel Tower. It was, I’m sure, the county’s tallest wooden structure and no one had ever been known to jump from it.So it was quite a shock when our teacher, Mr. Milton, announced that he would dive off the high board that very afternoon.Word of his questionable plan was already spreading through town as Mr. Milton swam out to the platform. He was just a tiny, stick figure when he got there but even fromsuch a distance the high board seemed almost to touch the clouds. Once at the top, he paced the enormously long board, then took some deep breaths and finally stood at edge. He was going to do it.Several hundred people had gathered at the shore to watch. Mr. Milton stood for quite a long time, then he raisedhis arms, took one massive bounce and launched himself into a perfect dive. It was beautiful. He fell with perfectstyle for what seemed minutes. The crowd fell silent. The only sound to be heard was the faint whistle of his body tearing through the air toward the water far, far below.But about three quarters of the way down he seemed to have second thoughts and began suddenly to panic, waving his arms and legs like someone having a bad dream. When he was perhaps thirty feet above the water, he gave up on waving and spread his arms and legs wide, apparently hoping that it would somehow slow his fall.It didn’t.He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour. The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of their trees three miles away. I don’t think he entered thewater at all. He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air. After that, he lay still on the surface, spinning like an autumn leaf.He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent the rest of the afternoon. Occasionally he accepted small sipsof water, but otherwise was too shocked to speak. Fromhead to toe, he was covered with deep red bruises.... It was the best day of my life.1. What did the writer think of Mr. Milton’s plan to jump from the diving board?A. Crazy.B. Disappointing.C. Heroic.D. Confused.2. In Paragraph 3, Mr Mil ton is described as “a tiny, stick figure” because he was __________.A. tired after swimmingB. very small and thinC. very far awayD. sure to be broken3. Why did Mr. Milton suddenly start swinging his arms and legs during the dive?A. He thought it was the best way to slow his fall.B. He lost his confidence and started to panic.C. He was signalling the crowd for help.D. He wanted to show his courage.4. Which of the following sentences from the passage is an example of a fact?A. He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour.B. The impact was so loud that it made birds fly outof trees up to three miles away.C. He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air.D. He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen ina rowboat ….二、七选五5. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eyes.When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn’t sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to makeas many loaves of bread as possible for their community.The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent, “Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel forlorn. Instead, we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”24.

The objects were discovered off the coast of the United States in the Pacific Ocean.The crew of the Nautilus, a private research ship, recovered the rock particles(颗粒). The Nautilus is operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. The group says its aim at present is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before.The search was launched after US government weather stations observed a large meteorite exploding some months ago. The explosion lit up the sky and sent the rock particles to the earth. The meteorite fall was the largest recorded over the United States in at least 20 years. The team includes scientists from NASA, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the University of Washington. The scientists examined what they believe were two small meteorite fragments. Further testing is needed before they can confirm that the material came from the explosion.The Nautilus is equipped with two remotely operated vehicles(ROVs), called Hercules and Argus. These robotic submarines help researchers find and collect materials from the seafloor. The fact that the particles landed in the ocean, instead of on land, means larger pieces may have survived and can be studied. For this reason, scientists decided to launch the first intentional search for meteorites from the ocean. Until the latest rescarch, scientists had only accidentally discovered a small number of meteorites from drilling operations.The objects recovered from the bottom of the sea likely came from the recent explosion or two main reasons. First, meteorite particles are basically made of glassy materials that do not tend to last long in seawater. Secondly, they came from what looked like a small hole on the seafloor. Some evidence shows that they came from something that fell.32. What is the current goal of the crew of the Ocean Exploration TrustA. To recover the rock particles.B. To observe movements of the universe.C. To study unexplored places of the ocean.D. To examine creatures of the explored ocean.33. What mainly caused the start of the search in the seaA. A huge meteor shower.B. Business value of meteors.C. Plenty of natural resources.D. The brainstorm of researchers.34. Why do the scientists prefer to search for meteors in the oceanA. They can find meteors more easily.B. They may find bigger rock particles.C. They like to explore strange sea areas.D. They have better submarine equipment.35. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraphA. Offer clues for the search.B. Give reasons to support a guess.C. Stress the importance of the event.D. Describe the process of the search.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

We saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many human interesting stories during my career. That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eyes.When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent，“Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel _forlorn_. Instead，we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”24. What did the bakery store workers do after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey?A. They volunteered to make bread for their community.B. They managed to live by selling more bread in the store.C. They felt sorry that they couldn't escape from the store.D. They ate nothing but to wait for their community to rescue them.25. Which of the following best explains“forlorn”underlined in the last paragraph?A. Fortunate.B. Hopeful.C. Shallow.D. Desperate.26. What can we infer from the text?A. Alvarado organized his workers to bake much bread.B. Hurricane Harvey caused a power failure in Houston.C. The staff in the bakery sent enough flour to emergency centers.D. The author preferred to write stories about people facing disasters.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Popular Mexican Bakery Chain in HoustonB. Wait for the Eventual Rescue in a Big DisasterC. All Kinds of Disasters Caused by Hurricane Harvey in HoustonD.

business reporter at The Post．The card was beautifully designed ﹣ a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters．There was no explanation on the back，just a website address．Chris went to the website．Its style was identical to the card's and said："Anytime：Starting Tomorrow．"The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime．Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon？ A joke？Something illegal？Anytime's marketing had worked ﹣it was a household name before it'd even made a single sale．When the opening came，that day at noon，the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read，"What do you want？" All you had to do was type the words into that box，and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered：within one，ten，or twenty ﹣four hours．Bloggers were the first to test the service．And their reviews were glowing．Within weeks，Anytime had become a part of daily life．Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster．Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was．He tried to find out who owned the company，but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public．He did find some interesting facts，though．Anyone who challenged the company，it seemed，met with serious trouble． A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiminghe was dishonest．The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin．Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to themafter opposing or criticising Anytime．By lunch，he had more than one hundred examples．Something was definitely wrong．Chris worked on his list the rest of the day，emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records．After working through the night，an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a．m．．When he woke a few hours later，there was a message flashing on his computer screen："Stop making trouble．" Chris smiled．He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track．（1）What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin？A．An invitation to a company opening．B．The website address of a new company．C．The words "Anytime：Starting tomorrow"．D．The words "Anything you want，anytime you need it"．（2）Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters？A．Because it didn't have enough money for traditional advertising．B．Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers．C．So the reporters would write stories about the new company．D．So people would find the new company interesting．（3）What did Chris' s research suggest about Anytime？A．It may be very dangerous．B．Its popularity would soon decrease．C．It was doing business all over the world．D．It was being widely criticised by journalists．（4）How did Chris feel at the end of the story？A．Scared that he would get into trouble．B．Confident that he would find the truth．C．Nervous about what the company would do．D．Satisfied that he had discovered the company's secret．4．（8分）Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris， a small metal cylinder （圆柱体）rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars．It has lain there for more than a century，its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room's three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal．First，the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft，alcohol﹣soaked cloth．Then it is steamed with pure water．Finally，the 1kg cylinder is returned，carefully，to its resting place．Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual，but has a purpose．The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining，circular metal is its holiest relic．It is the defining mass （质量）against which all other kilograms are measured．This is the international prototype，or standard，of the kilogram．The IPK，in short．Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made．They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations' weights and measures systems．But the days of the IPK，in its current form，are numbered．The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement ﹣based on electric current ﹣in order to define the mass of an object．The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned．"One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security，" says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson．"If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed，we would have no reference left for the world's metric weights system．There would be chaos．The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris，after all．"Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements．"Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram，" says Robinson．"We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy．"（1）What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs？A．It's cared for with great devotion．B．It's used in religious ceremonies．C．It's beautifully designed and decorated．D．It's the most valuable metal in the world．（2）Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5？A．rebuiltB．removedC．destroyedD．upgraded（3）What is a reason for replacing the current IPK？A．To protect the metal cylinder from damage．B．To make taking measurements more economical．C．To provide all countries with the same standard．D．To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness．（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？A．No more kilosB． A heavy technologyC．The future of the kiloD．The history of measures第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（10分）It was the 2015 "super storm" in New South Wales that restored my faith in people．During a break in the weather，I stupidly decided to drive into town to buy some groceries．However，as I left the supermarket and drove back，the weather took a turn for the worse．（1）Having nowhere to go，I spotted a young man in his front yard assessing the situation．He quickly waved to me to come and park in his driveway．（2）The man，who introduced himself as Trent，then invited me to wait inside his house with his wife，Kayti and their two daughters．I told him I was concerned about the damage to my car，as the continuing rain was starting to turn into hail （冰雹）．Trent then grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car．（3）Fortunately，his efforts saved my car from being damaged by the hail．By 11：00 a．m．，the electricity and phone services had both gone．（4）Trent made me a cup of tea and Kayti gave me a towel to dry myself off．The three of us chatted while waiting for the weather to get better．I learned that Trent had lost his job and was struggling to feed the family．When the hail stopped，I shook Trent's hand and kissed Kayti goodbye．（5）I was very moved by their kindness and it renewed my faith in people．As I went out the door，I asked Trent for two of his business cards．My father has since called to offer him a job as a clerk at his company．A．It began pouring so heavily that I was forced to stop．B．The couple were so modest as I thanked them for their help．C．I was surprised that he didn't ask for anything in return for his assistance．D．I was grateful to escape the running water that was about to drown my car．E．I tried driving faster to escape the heavy downpour that was sure to come．F．As a result，I couldn't contact my parents，despite knowing they'd be worried．G．He was wet but he didn't seem to mind being out in the wild weather on my behalf．。

The objects were discovered off the coast of the United States in the Pacific Ocean.The crew of the Nautilus, a private research ship, recovered the rock particles（颗粒）.The Nautilus is operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. The group says its aim at present is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before.The search was launched after US government weather stations observed a large meteorite exploding some months ago. The explosion lit up the sky and sent the rock particles to the earth. The meteorite fall was the largest recorded over the United States in at least 20 years. The team includes scientists from NASA, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the University of Washington. The scientists examined what they believe were two small meteorite fragments. Further testing is needed before they can confirm that the material came from the explosion.The Nautilus is equipped with two remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), called Hercules and Argus. These robotic submarines help researchers find and collect materials from the seafloor. The fact that the particles landed in the ocean, instead of on land, means larger pieces may have survived and can be studied. For this reason, scientists decided to launch the first intentional search for meteorites from the ocean Until the latest research, scientists had only accidentally discovered a small number of meteorites from drilling operations.The objects recovered from the bottom o£the sea likely came from the recent explosion for two main reasons. First, meteorite particles are basically made of glassy materials that do not tend to last long in seawater. Secondly, they came from what looked like a small hole on the seafloor. Some evidence shows that they came from something that fell.32.What is the current goal of the crew of the Ocean Exploration Trust?A.To recover the rock particles.B.To observe movements of the universe.【西樵高级中学2019届考前英语周测（一）第4页（共8页）▲】C.To study unexplored places of the ocean.D.To examine creatures of the explored ocean.33.What mainly caused the start of the search in the sea?A. A huge meteor shower.B. Business value of meteors.C. Plenty o£ natural resources.D. The brainstorm of researchers.34.Why do the scientists prefer to search for meteors in the ocean?A.They can find meteors more easily.B.They may find bigger rock particles.C.They like to explore strange sea areas.D.They have better submarine equipment.35.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A. Offer clues for the search.B. Give reasons to support a guess.C. Stress the importance of the event.D. Describe the process of the search.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑口选项中有两项为多余选项口There are numerous benefits of reading good books. __36__ Whatever your field might be, it’s very important to create a good habit to read beyond your horizons・ Here are tips to help you cultivate a better and consistent reading habit:•Determine your reading goal. __37__ This goal should be clear and backed up with a purpose.
