二、完型填空
Sixteen-year-
old
Josh
is
a
junior
high
school
student.
He
was
running
a
five-kilometre
race
in
a
field
of
261
16
on
Sept.
16.
With
the
race
less
than
half
done,
he
17
a
scream
and
saw
a
runner
he
didn’t
know
fell
down
in
a
lot
of
18
—holding
a
bleeding
ankle（足踝）.
With
his
own
coach
trying
to
find
out
why
Josh
hadn’t
passed
the
halfway
mark
as
expected,
his
coach
found
him
soon.
“I
was
19
what
was
going
and
why
he
was
so
far
back,”
said
Scott
Clark.
“Then
I
saw
Josh.
He
had
got
the
kid
in
his
20
.”
The
injured
athlete
was
Mark,
a
student
from
another
junior
high
school.
Josh
just
21
him
up
without
saying
anything
and
started
carrying
him
and
trying
to
22
him
down,
saying,
“It’s
going
to
be
OK.
Your
ankle
will
recover
（痊愈）soon.
I’m
going
to
23
you
to
your
coaches.”
Josh
carried
Mark
about
a
quarter
mile!
He
took
him
to
his
24
and
then—completely
last
in
the
field
of
runners
now—sped
off
to
start
his
race
again.
He
25
50
kids
to
finish
the
race
as
the
211th
out
of
261
runners.
When
26
by
one
teammate
why
he
had
fallen
so
far
behind
after
the
race,
he
27
said,
“Oh,
I
picked
up
a
kid.”
No
excuses.
No
explanation.
No
disappointment.
He
just
finished
what
he
had
started.
Mark’s
ankle
28
fully
a
week
later
and
then
he
personally
thanked
Josh
at
his
home.
“Josh
has
29
me
again
that
there
are
wonderful
people
out
there.
They
are
always
doing
kind
and
good
things
with

三、阅读理解
Has
the
wind
ever
blow
your
hat
away?
Have
you
ever
drop
your
notebook
on
a
windy
day?
How
many
important
pages
did
you
lose?
Wind
is
moving
air.
It
can
pick
up
light
materials
and
carry
them
far
away.
Wind
is
a
force
of
erosion（侵蚀）.
It
can
carry
away
small
materials
such
as
dust
particles（灰尘微粒）and
sand
particles
from
the
earth’s
surface.
However,
wind
itself
does
not
cause
much
erosion.
Most
“wind”
erosion
is
done
by
particles.
Wind
is
an
important
natural
force
of
erosion
in
dry
places.
When
wind
slows
down,
it
drops
the
materials
that
it
is
carrying.
When
sand
is
dropped,
it
builds
up
and
becomes
dunes（沙丘）.
Sand
dunes
are
common
in
deserts
and
on
beaches.
Some
dunes
can
be
harmful.
They
can
bury（埋）farms
and
homes,
even
whole
towns.
Wind
carries
dust
particles
higher
and
farther
than
it
carries
sand.
Thick
deposits
of
wind
—blown
dust
may
also
build
up.
The
wind—blown
dust
is
called
loess（黄土）.
Sometimes
people
plant
grasses
and
trees
to
try
to
stop
wind
erosion.
How
does
this
help?
The
roots
of
plants
help
to
hold
down
soil
and
other
particles
found
on
the
ground.
31．The
purpose
of
writing
the
first
paragraph
is
to
________.
A．introduce
the
topic
B．make
a
comparison
C．give
background
information
D．warn
people
of
the
situation
32．What
does
the
underlined
“it”
in
Paragraph
4
refer
to?
A．Sand.
B．Wind.
C．Erosion.
D．Dust.
33．You
can
probably
read
this
passage
in
the
________
part
of
a
magazine.
A．Travel
B．Culture
C．Geography
D．Business
