Chandler Innovation Center.BI was eleven years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up in rapidly burn to the ground.A few minutes earlier I had been in bed when a scream woke me up. My grandma's bedroom was just next to mine and my elder brother's. A fire had broken out there and awakened her. Hearing her scream, my elder brother jumped to action, running from room to room quickly to wake everyone in the house. However, before we could do anything, the fire had consumed the old and wooden house.I stood there shivering while the fire destroyed my books, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my Mom cried and my Dad sighed. I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we had lost all of our things. As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: What matters aren't things. I saw my elder brother running across the swinging bridge by our house to get help. I saw my eldest brother who was on crutches（拐杖）from an earlier accident standing unsteadily on one leg. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other's arms and my mum holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was essential had survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would survive without the “stuff” that was burning. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. Andthat was all that mattered.I still think of that fire at night. It helped me to become who I am today. It showed me for the very first time what is truly essential in life. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we possess.Live your life then for the things that matter, not for the things you own. Love others. Let the fire inside of you make this world a warmer place. Let your soul shine bright.24. Who first found the house was on fire?A. The author.B. The grandma.C. The elder brother.D. A passer-by.25. What did the author do when they all made it outside?A. Crying and running quickly.B. Sighing and discussing what to eat.C. Shaking and thinking about the future.D. Freezing and trying to find warm clothes.26. What does the underlined sentence “the fire inside of you” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Anger towards the fire.B. The fear of love.C. A life-lesson he learnt.D. The love of life.27. What could be the best title for the passage?A. We all have each otherB. The magic of a fireC. Growing up with memoryD. Ways to be a better manCIt took Sheperd Doeleman nearly a decade to pull off the impossible. As the director of the Event Horizon Telescope(EHT), a project involving hundreds of international researchers, he spent years flying suitcases full of hard drives around the globe to coordinate observations between radio telescopes on four continents. On April 9, 2019, the coordination at last released the fruits of their labors and the world got the first image of a black hole.The feat-which pioneering black hole theorist James Bardeen called hopeless in 1973-represented a towering achievement of astronomical technology. “It took everyone a little by surprise that they got such a good image so fast,” says Andrew Strominger, a theoretical physicist at Harvard University.Now Strominger and other researchers are back with a wild answer, which appeared last week in ScienceAdvances. With a distance enough telescope, the EHT coordination could see multiple reflections of light streaming from around the black hole. By sorting through the precise pattern in these rays, astronomers could study black holes and test Einstein’s theory of gravity like never before. Basically, they hope black holes will become more like stars and planets: not just objects to think about, but to directly observe.The team did pencil-and-paper calculations using Einstein’s theory of General Relativity and some simulations(模拟) to analyze what black holes do to light. “Black holes, they’re just kind of the best at everything they do,” Lupsasca says. “And that includes bending light rays into loops(圈、环).”28. What did Sheperd Doeleman achieve according to paragraph 1?A. An international project.B. An image of a black hole.C. Suitcases full of hard drives.D. Radio telescopes on four continents.29. Who believed it was impossible to get any image of black holes?A. James Bardeen.B. Albert Einstein.C. Sheperd Doeleman.D. Andrew Strominger.30. Why did Strominger and his team do so many calculations?A. To bend light rays into loops.B. To observe black holes directly.C. To design a distance enough telescope.D. To analyze black holes’ impact on light.31. Where is this text most likely from?A. A diary.B. A novel.C. A magazine.D. A guidebook.DThe eastern Siberian landscape is not normally like hell. In winter it is blanketed in snow: in summer, its forests are lush(苍翠繁茂的). This year, however, the region is on fire, as are large parts of the Arctic Circle.The fires began in June, caused by an extremely hot and dry early summer. It was the hottest June on record globally. In the regions that are burning, temperatures peaked at 8-10℃warmer than the average from 1981 to 2010. This has dried out the landscape, producing tinder(易燃物)for natural forest fires.So far, hundreds of above-ground fires have been recorded by satellites in the Arctic and sub-Arctic. It is estimated that fires within the Arctic Circle have produced more than 100m tonnes of carbon dioxide in ayear. That is a lot. But burnt vegetation can regrow within a decade, and in doing so reabsorbs much of the released carbon dioxide. It is what is happening below ground that most worries ecologists and climate scientists.Global warming will melt Arctic permafrost(永久冻土), releasing large amounts of stored greenhouse gases. But if fires in the region become more common, that could have even bigger consequences. Wildfires will release much faster and bigger amounts of carbon, rather than melting permafrost. The fires also produce black carbon which, if dropped on the Arctic sea ice by favorable winds, will darken its surface, making it more likely to absorb sunlight and melt. This decreases the reflectivity of the region and further increases Arctic warming.Smog from the fires is blanketing much of Siberia. "What is scary about the Arctic fires is that they are driven by climate change, and there's very little you can do," says Thomas Smith. Few natural fires this big have ever been successfully managed. The only way to deal with the spread of these fires is to slow the rate of global warming. Don't hold your breath.32. What do we know about the wild fires in the Arctic Circle?A. They result from extreme weather.B. They destroy Siberian landscape.C. They are common yearly phenomena.D. They come earlier than usual this year.33. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Hundreds of above-ground fires.B. Satellite distribution in the Arctic.C. Burnt plant life within a decade.D. over 100m tonnes of carbon dioxide.34. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The causes of firesB. The working principles of global warming.C.T he consequences of fires.D. The characteristics of Arctic warming.35. Which word best describes the author's attitude toward the Arctic fires?A. Objective.B.W orried.C. Optimistic.D. Indifferent.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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, 并在答题卡上将相应的选项涂黑。
