I've been on expeditions (探险)in many places like China, Pakistan and so on. But it was in my home country, the USA, that I came closest to death.It was April, 2011. I was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier. They were both excellent snowboarders. That day, I was the last person to ski. They were watching me from a safe area. Suddenly, I heard someone cry loudly. I turned around and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me. It was a massive avalanche (大雪崩). The kind of avalanche that destroys trees, cars, buses, even houses! Tens of thousands of tons of snow was coming straight down the mountain behind me. I felt the snow push me forward, hundreds of metres, and then cover me. It was so heavy that I couldn’t breathe. And then it pushed me forward again and up. I looked around, and for a few seconds, I actually stopped being frightened. I had a moment to stop and to look at the power of the avalanche.I looked down into the bottom of the valley (峡谷). I could see trees that were 30m tall because I was so far away, and they looked tiny to me. "OK, I'm going all the way to the bottom!" I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the mountain another 450m. I thought the force of the snow would destroy me; it was powerful. But in the end. I felt the valance slow down and I just fell heavily over the snow at the bottom of the valley.It took Jeremy and Xavier about 20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of debris ( 碎雪) across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide. They couldn't believe it when they saw me. I was so lucky.Has the experience changed me? Do I think about life differently? I don't know, maybe. But I do know that it's important to live your life with meaning. Life is a gift, so be grateful to God.1．From the passage, it's true that_______________________.A．the writer came closest to death when he skied in PakistanB．the avalanche pushed the writer down about 300m awayC．the writer's friends came to learn skiing with the writerD．the writer couldn't breathe because of the weight of the snow2．Which word can best describe the writer's feeling towards the avalanche?A．Excited B．Scared C．Happy D．Patient3．The underlined word "they " in Paragraph 3 refers to_________.A．the mountainsB．the treesC．Jeremy and XavierD．the valleys4．In what order did the following events take place in the story?a.

I heard a loud voice and saw a huge avalanche coming behind me.A．b-e-c-a-d B．b-e-a-c-d C．d-c-a-b-e D．d-e-c-a-b5．According to the writer, ____________________.A．his experience and his friends have changed himB．it's impossible to know the force of the snowC．one should not live a meaningless lifeD．he doesn't mind the matter of life or deathB14、Have you ever had a science class that you look forward to? It doesn’t happen often. But when you have a teacher like Mrs. Rheineck, it’s more than a science class. It’s a science class where learning is easy and fun. There is no getting down to a huge tex tbook or listening to a teacher about something you don’t care about.My experience with Mrs. Rheineck didn’t start with science class, but with her as my tutor（导师，家庭教师）. I was always a weak reader and wasn’t getting any better. My parents told me I needed to be tutored.One day after school, I went into the library with my mom for my first tutoring time. I had no idea who was tutoring me. My mom practically had to pull me into the library. The first thing we did was to play a game to get to know each other and get rid of the awkwardness (笨拙，尴尬). We didn’t even play a reading game.We also went around the library and I got to pick out a book I wanted to read. She didn’t make me read a boring textbook about something I didn’t care about. I didn’t even pick a book. I picked out a magazine about remote control cars. I thought to myself, how bad could it be? I got to read about remote control cars. She told me even though I was reading a magazine, I was still reading. After the first magazine, she picked out a book she liked. I would read achapter(章) and then she would read a chapter to me, this way I didn’t have to read for long periods of time.As I got better and faster at reading, I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time, which used to take me to read one chapter.Reading is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful. If it wasn’t for her, I would not be the reader I am today and I thank her for that.1．Why was the writer tutored by Mrs. Rheineck?A．Because the writer was too shy to talk with others.B．Because the writer found science easy and fun.C．Because the writer liked her science class.D．Because the writer couldn’t read books quickly.2．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that __________.A．the writer went to the library to play a gameB．the writer was unhappy to be tutoredC．the writer knew Mrs. Rheineck very wellD．the writer was awkward to read in the library3．At the library, the writer __________.A．chose any book he was interested inB．played a reading game with Mrs. RheineckC．was asked to read one chapter after anotherD．had to read textbooks rather than magazinesC15、Bags of LoveLast year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.One day, I talked to a neighbour and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me—why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug(拥抱). I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she toldme something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless(无私的) she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of my mum.I continued to buy food for my mum after that. But I always added one more bag for her other children.1．After the first week, the writer noticed that .A．the food was put into a big boxB．his mum followed the childrenC．the food was eaten up quicklyD．his mum stopped buying food2．The street children thought of the writer’s mum as their.A．old grandma B．own motherC．new neighbour D．dear teacher3．How did the writer feel about his mum after she told him everything?A．He was proud of her.B．He was confident in her.C．He was angry with her.D．He was worried about her.4．The writer added one more bag of food to .A．make friends with the childrenB．get a hug from his motherC．become well-known in the areaD．help the poor street childrenD16、Dogs are considered as man’s best friend.

He carried an old wallet in one hand and at every house he asked for a little money to buy something to eat. As he was complaining at his misfortune(不幸)，he kept wondering why people who had so much money were never satisfied and always wanted more.He thought that if he only had enough money to buy food and clothing, he would be very happy and wouldn't want anything more.At that moment, Fortune came down the street. She saw the beggar and stopped. She said to him:" I want to help you. Hold out your wallet and I will pour this gold into it, but only on this condition. All that falls into your wallet will be pure gold, but all that hits the ground will turn into dust. Do you understand?""Oh, yes I understand." said the beggar."Your wallet is old. Don't put too much in it," said Fortune.The beggar opened his wallet and a stream of pure gold flowed into it. His wallet grew heavy. "You are the richest man in the world now," said Fortune.“I think you should stop! Your wallet is going to break!" However, the beggar said he wanted one more handful.

She lived during a time when factories were springing up all over the United States and business were booming. Her father died when she was 10 years old and began working in a textile mill(纺织厂).When she was 12, Knight saw an accident in which a part of one of the marhines flew off, seriously hurting a worker. So she decided to plan a way to prevent such accidents. Knight designed a safety feature that would stop the machines if something got caught in them. The machine soon became common in textile mills and is still used in some factories now.Although factories were willing to use her first invention, Knight did not receive much in the way of reward for her effort. Because of her youth and her family's lack of(缺乏)of education, Knight was unable to patent(获得专利)her safety machine to earn money from selling it.In Knight's day, paper bags were shaped like envelopes(信封), which made them difficult to fill. While working at a paper bag factory, Knight thought of bags with flat, rectangular(长方形的)bottom. Then she tried to invent a machine that would produce them, and she succeeded. Knight worked for months to perfect her work, but when she asked for a patent, a man named Charles Annan had seen an early model of Knight's idea and had tried to patent the machine as his own.Knight insisted that the patent should be hers and ended up taking Annan to court(法庭). During the case; Annan said that a woman would not be able to invent such a complex and innovative(创新的)machine. But Knight provided evidence proving that the machine was hers and received patent in 1871.Knight died in 1914, and one newspaper described her as a "woman Edison". At a time when women's hard work and knowledge were taken too lightly, she proved that women too could develop new ideas that would shape the future of industry.26. Why didn't Margaret patent her safety machine at first?A. She had no money to do it.B. She didn't consider it worth her effort.C. She expected her invention to be of use to all.D. She had no sense of patent at that time.27. We can infer from Margret's story that at Margret's time .A. women didn't get well protected at workB. women got badly paid at factoriesC. women weren't expected to achieve muchD. women had no right to invent things28. Why did the writer write the passage?A. To tell the importance of role of women in society.B. To call on girls to learn from a woman scientist.C. To encourage women to fight for equal rights.D. To introduce a famous woman inventor in America.DFrank was a very talkative little boy. He never saw a new thing without asking a great many questions about it.His mother was very patient and kind. When it was proper to answer his questions, she would do so. Sometimes she would say, “You are not old enough to understand that, my son. When you are ten years old, you may ask me about it, and I will tell you.” When his mother said this, Frank never bother(烦扰)her any more. He knew she always liked to answer him when he asked proper questions.The first time Frank saw an hourglass, he was very much interested, but he did not know what it was. His mother said, “An hourglass is made in the shape of the figure 8. The sand is put in at one end and runs through a small hole in the middle. As much sand is put into the glass as will run through in an hour.”Frank watched the little stream of sand. He was impatient, because it would not run faster. “Let me shake it, mother,” said he, “it is lazy, and will never get through.”“Oh, yes, it will, my son,” said his mother, “The sand moves by little and little, but it moves all the time. When you look at the hands of the clock, you think they go very slowly, and so they do, but they never stop. While you are at play, the sand is running, grain by grain(一粒粒). The hands of the clock are moving, second by second. At night, the sand in the hourglass has run through twelve times. The hour hand of the clock has moved all around its great face. This because they keep at work every minute. They do not stop to think how much they have to do, and how long it will take them to do it.”Now, Frank’s mother wanted him to learn a little hymn(赞美诗), but he said, “Mother, I can never learn it.”His m other said, “Study all the time. Never stop to ask how long it will take to learn it. You will be able to say it very soon.”Frank followed his mother’s advice. He studied line after line, very busily; and in one hour anda half he knew the hymn perfectly.29. According to the story, which word can best describe Frank?A. Naughty.B. Curious.C. Stupid.D. Lazy30. What did Frank’s mother do one day in this story?A. She asked her son to shake the hourglass hard.B. She answered every question her son asked.C. She bought her son an hourglass as a gift.D. She encouraged her son to learn a hymn.31. Why did Frank’s mother say a lot about the hourglass and the clock?A. Because she would like to show her patience to her son.B. Because she wanted to compare the hourglass with the clock.C. Because she thought it a good way to tell Frank not to waste time.D. Because she happened to know a lot about these two objects.32. What’s the best title of this story?A. Frank and His MotherB. Frank and The HourglassC. The Hourglass and The ClockD. Mother and The Hourglass四、信息还原（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Summary:School Day was held successfully on May6th.Twenty-four student helpers from Grade8were divided into four groups of six.Each group had a task to raise money for the disabled.All of the groups performed well on School Day and received praise from the visitors.In short, our School Day went well and we got no poor opinions from the visitors.Feedback:Opinions from100students have been collected.Most students thought the activities were good.However,some students thought the prices of the school postcards were a little too high. Satisfaction FeedbackFollow-up:Have a meeting with the headmaster about prizes for excellent student helpers.21.How many students like the recycling bags according to the feedback?A.50.B.25.C.15.D.1022.Which of the following is TRUE about the activities?A.Nick was the leader of Group1.B.Twenty-four students offered their feedback.C.The postcards were cheap.D.Student helpers who did well can get prizes.BOne evening about20years ago,I watched a documentary about how,in1947,a“flying saucer”had crashed in Roswell.Several people who had seen the crash were interviewed,including a nurse who said she had examined an alien who had been injured in the crash.At first,the people of Roswell were told that a flying saucer had crashed.Shortly afterwards they were told that it was not a flying saucer but a weather balloon.I decided that the only way I could learn the truth about flying saucers was to investigate(调查)them myself.I have done a lot of research and although I still haven’t discovered the truth about Roswell,I have discovered the truth about hundreds of other UFOs.A lot of UFOs are actually army planes or weather balloons,while others turn out to be natural phenomena(现象)like planets or comets (彗星).By far the largest number of UFOs turn out to be so-called“fireball”meteors—slow-moving meteors that can take up to a minute to travel across the night sky.When I’m investigating a UFO report,I arrange to meet the person at the place where they have seen the flying saucer.I like to interview a witness at the scene and then take photographs of the area.Then I speak to my contacts at local military(军事的)bases and weather station,and then check the witness’details against my information.In about95%of the cases I’ve dealt with,the“flying saucers”turn out to be weather balloons, planes or natural phenomena.That still leaves5%of that,no matter what,just cannot be explained.23.The writer says that UFOs______.A.always travel across the sky slowlyually fly near natural phenomenaC.are always seen near weather balloonsD.often turn out to be a kind of meteor24.What will the writer do if you think you have seen a flying saucer?A.He’ll suggest that you contact a military base.B.He’ll take a photograph of you for his records.C.He’ll ask you to take a photograph of it for him.D.He’ll meet you and ask you to describe what you saw.25.When the writer investigates flying saucers,he______.A.makes sure that someone has taken photos of themB.gives the witness the names of people who can helpC.can’t find a proper explanation about5%of the casesD.always tells the local weather station before he arrivesCConsidered as one of the English language’s most talented poets,John Keats wrote poems that focused on imagination,human nature,and life.Although Keats didn't receive much education on literature,his own studies and interests brought him much success.Also,his own life situation made a great difference to his poems.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family,the young John didn't attend a private school,but went to a public one.His mother was not well educated.His teachersand his family’s friends considered him as a common boy who preferred playing and fighting much more to minding his studies.After his father’s death in the early1800s,followed by his mother's because of tuberculosis(肺结核),he began seeing life differently.He wanted to keep away from the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of16,the teenage John Keats began studying medical treatment so that he too might become a doctor.However,his literary dream had taken too much of his life，especially with his love for the poems of Ehmund Spenser.He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in1816,named O Solitude!If I Must With Thee Dwell.Within two months in1817, Keats had written another full poem,but was sharply criticized(批评)by a magazine.However,it didn’t stop his dream of poems．John Keats’next work was Endymion,which was published in May1818.The story includes a farmer who falls in love with the moon and leads him to a trip of one boy's hope to deal with the limitations(限制)of being human.Following Endymion,however,he tried something more story-based and wrote Isabella.During this time,John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry because of his own limit in life experiences.He would have to have the“knowledge”connected to his poems.His next work was Hyperion that would like to mix all that he learned together. However,a bout(发作)with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and finally take his life in1821.26.John Keats'thoughts about life changed because of__________.A.Edmund Spenser's poetryB.the deaths of his parentsC.the criticism of a magazineD.his early education from school27.What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?A.They received little education.B.They went to a private school.C.They died of the same disease.D.They showed strong interest in poetry.28.What can we infer from the passage?A.Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.B.The poem Hyperion wasn’t completed by Keats.C.Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats’time.D.Keats’family must have been very poor when he was young.DMore than50music students at New Milford High School in New Jersey,US,got a letter from their headmaster.The letter said that the school’s music department was in big trouble.The students had to pass a test,or the department would be shut down.On a Saturday,two officials greeted the nervous students.They asked the students to play a piece by Richard Strauss.But they had to sing the words to the music–German words!Other tasks were also difficult.One student had to sing Mary had a Little Lamb,a children’s song,in an operatic(歌剧的)voice.After three hours of testing,students waited for the results.They met some students from the New Jersey Youth Orchestra(管弦乐团).The judges gave them a merely average grade.The worried New Milford students started to realize they had no chance.“I thought it was over,”said Bryan Olsen-Santana,a junior.“The person next to me was crying.I felt bad for her.I felt bad for myself,too,because music is everything to me.”But then the headmaster came and told them something very dramatic(戏剧性的):“Someone’s played a joke on you!”What was going on?The test was part of a reality TV show(电视真人秀)called“Schooled”.The students’parents, the school and a TV network had arranged it together.Everything was fake.The two“officials”were actually comedians(喜剧演员).The“students from New Jersey Youth Orchestra”were from another school.There were hidden cameras.The students’parents were hiding as they watched.As a reward for putting up with the joke,the students got gifts:MP3players,digital cameras and school supplies.They were all from the show’s sponsor(赞助商).29.What is the letter about?A.The headmaster would retire next semester.B.The school didn’t have money to run.C.The music department was in big trouble.D.The students had to give up music.30.The students were nervous before the test,because______.A.they were not good at musicB.the judges were very strictC.they thought they couldn’t passD.it would decide the future of the music department31.According to Olsen-Santana,we learn that______.A.their school failed the testB.he likes music very muchC.the test was just a jokeD.the girl next to him was sorry for herself32.What does the underlined word“fake”mean in the passage?A.顺利的B.假装的C.受欢迎的D.便捷的四、信息还原（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）根据对话内容，从方框内选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整。

However, a new study has found that drinking water is not the best way to stay hydrated(补水的).Water does a good job of hydrating the body quickly, according to British researchers. However, drinks with a little bit of sugar, fat or protein(蛋白质) can do a better job.Why is that? The more you drink, the faster the drink leaves your stomach and goes into your bloodstream. There, it can dilute(稀释) the body’s fluids(液体) and keep you hydrated. Milk, for example, has some sugar, protein and fat. These make fluids leave your stomach more slowly and keep you hydrated for a longer time.However, drinks with more sugar, such as fruit juice or soda, are not more hydrating. When these drinks go into the small intestine(小肠), they take more water from the body into the small intestine to help deal with the sugar. This will make you feel even thirstier.A. Milk.B. Water.C. Soda.D. Fruit juice.24. Why can’t sugary drinks keep you hydrated?A. Because these drinks can’t go into your bloodstream.B. Because these drinks leave the stomach quickly.C. Because it takes more water to deal with the sugar.D. Because the small intestine can’t dilute these fluids.25. How does water keep you hydrated?a. Water goes into the bloodstream.b. Water enters your stomach.c. They body is hydrated. d. Water leaves the stomach.e. The body’s fluids get more water.A. b–a–d–c–eB. b–d–a–e–cC. b–a–e–d–cD. b–d–a–c–eCHobbies are something we enjoy doing in our free time for fun. It is often the case that we first become interested in something, and then we practise it ourselves. When we often do it or practise it for fun, it becomes our hobby.Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. The choice of hobbies is different from person to person. It depends on one’s own interests and jobs. People who sit at a desk all day long like to develop active hobbies while people like sports players like to take up quiet hobbies. Everyone should do something for a change so as to keep a balance between work and play.People can choose hobbies that are very popular and easy to develop, such as watching TV, reading, window-shopping, going to the movies and so on. These hobbies need no special training. They can also choose hobbies that are not so easy to develop, such as painting, playing musical instruments, taking part in sports, etc. These hobbies need special training and talents.Most people take up one hobby or another for relaxation while others, such as old people, have hobbies for killing time. However, students have to study. They have to finish a lot of homework, to take many exams and to fight for their future.

Interests are something we practise ourselves.DOn October 25th, 2018, Christie’s(佳士得拍卖行) had a very unusual sale. It sold the first piece of artwork created by artificial intelligence for $432,500.The painting was created by an AI program written by Obvious, an AI research studio in Paris. Soon questions rang through the media: Is this art? Who is the artist? How about the owner? Are machines now creative, too?All good questions—but too early. The technology is far from advanced(高级的), as Obvious suggested, because the public is completely confused about what AI is, and what it is able to do.In fact, the painting was just one of the countless artworks AI could produce. It was the team behind Obvious that chose this one. The team first programmed the AI, and then they chose 15,000 paintings to train the software(软件). Connecting the painting with the algorithm(计算程序) was just a clever marketing tool. AI did not produce the painting on its own at all.Lots of artists are using the same software as Obvious, but none of them are worried about losing jobs because of AI. As they build the machine themselves and work with it every day, they know how limited it is. What interests the artists is to create works together: the way AI lets them go beyond their natural ability.Artists also laugh at the idea that AI is creative. It certainly creates things, sometimes in new and successful ways, but it does so without a purpose. It is the artist who shapes its output. “You make a fire and it produces interesting shapes, but in the end the fire is not creative. AI is a glorified(被美化的) campfire,” said one of the pioneers of using AI in art.29.
