Age has never been a problem for 16-year-old Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.
The North Chicago-area teen started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, which is for people who were forced to leave their homes because of earthquake, flood and other natural disasters.
At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for church events and leadership meetings.
She doesn’t stop there, though. The teen plans to focus on aviation psychology (航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time. Her goal is to use it to help pilots deal with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.
In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group at church. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners with trends. Her third book The Genius Race is designed to help people to be talents in various areas of life.

Tired of your quiet day-to-day life How about leaving your computer games behind and taking up an extreme sport
You can ride a bicycle, right In that case you’re halfway to becoming a mountain biker. All you have to do is take your bike off the road and try some hilly areas. Mountain biking was developed in California in the 1970s and became an Olympic sport in 1996.
Not challenging enough Skydivers jump from planes at a height of 1,000 to 4,000 meters. You have to be fit but there’s no age limit with this sport. For example, Dilys Price from Cardiff went on her first jump aged 54. The minute she came down, she wanted to go up again. She said: “It was so attractive”.
Some adventures have invented base jumping, in which people jump from tall structures, such as buildings or bridges, with a parachute. Many of their jumps aren’t legal, especially in the cities.Dan Witchalls has jumped off The Shard —London’s 310 meter-high building four times.He says, “Base jumping is scarier than jumping out of a plane. In a plane there is no sense of height, but when you are standing on the edge of the building you can see people and cars, the experience makes it very real.”
It seems there’s no shortage of imagination when it comes to risking life to look cool and get the heart beating wildly. Surfing, diving, rock climbing ...And how about extreme ironing That is, pressing your clothes on top of a mountain! Extreme ironing is said to have been created in the 1990s in England by a man who saw a large amount of wrinkled clothes and felt bored when doing the cloth ironing. That man was Phil Shaw. For him, the excitement of this sport comes from looking at the viewers’ faces. Shaw says, “Sometimes they look confused; sometimes they laugh. It’s fun to see how people react to it.”
8. What does the author think about mountain biking
A. A bit boring. B. Challenging indeed.
C. Great fun. D. Not very hard.
9. What does the author want to show with the example in paragraph 3
A. Skydivers have to be very healthy. B. Skydiving is not challenging enough.
C. Elderly people can also take up skydiving. D. People can easily become crazy about skydiving.
10. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The sense of height. B. Base jumping experience.
C. The edge of the building. D. Jumping out of a plane.
11. Why did Phil Shaw invent extreme ironing
A. He liked ironing clothes. B. He wanted to make clothes ironing more fun.
C. He enjoyed different looks on people's faces. D. He had a good view standing on top of a mountain.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些极限运动，有山地自行车、跳伞、定点跳伞和富有想象力的极限熨衣。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“All you have to do is take your bike off the road and try some hilly areas.( 你所要做的就是把你的自行车从公路上移开，去一些丘陵地区试试)以及第三段中“Not challenging enough (不够有挑战性？)”可推知，作者认为山地自行车不是很难。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“You have to be fit but there’s no age limit with this sport. For example, Dilys Price from Cardiff went on her first jump aged 54.(这项运动没有年龄限制，但是你必须健康。例如，来自加的夫的Dilys Price在54岁时进行了第一次跳伞)”可推知，作者想用第三段的例子来说明老年人也可以参加跳伞活动。故选C。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“In a plane there is no sense of height, but when you are standing on the edge of the building you can see people and cars, the experience makes”可知在飞机上并没有高度感，但当你站在建筑物的边缘，你可以看到人和汽车，这种体验让高度感变得非常真实。故it指的是“高度感”。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Extreme ironing is said to have been created in the 1990s in England by a man who saw a large amount of wrinkled clothes and felt bored when doing the cloth ironing.(“极限熨衣”据说是20世纪90年代英国的一位男士发明的，他看到很多起皱的衣服，觉得熨烫衣服很无聊)”可推知，Phil Shaw发明了“极限熨衣”是因为他想让熨衣服更有趣。故选B。
D
What is the greatest threat to mankind Maybe different people come up with different answers. However, there is no denying the fact that the only threat to humankind, apart from humankind itself, is, without any doubt, the nature. Natural disasters are the result of natural environmental processes that have a damaging effect on people. Natural disasters can come in many forms: such as geological events like earthquakes, tsunamis or mud-rock flows, climatic events like storms, hurricanes or tornadoes and fire events like forest fires and wildfires.
The damage done by natural disasters is mainly as a result of our inability to predict exactly when they will happen. Although great progress has been made in designing and developing forecasting models for some natural disaster, complete certainty is still impossible. Even to be pessimistic there is a possibility that human beings will never achieve accurate prediction of the happening of all natural disasters.
What's more, even though we were able to predict these disasters from nature, preventing them is equally impossible. So we only have two ways to both prevent injuries or deaths and reduce economic losses to the least. These two methods are to prepare before a natural disaster comes to hit, and to manage the necessary resources and public services after a natural disaster strikes.
These two things have always been at the leading position of the projects of both national governments and international organizations. In the United States, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for the "preparedness, response and recovery planning" of both man-made and natural disasters.
Most natural disasters cannot be prevented, and both emergency preparation and good disaster management are the best ways to deal with them. Although natural events may appear to serve no purpose but simply to punish and destroy, natural disasters, a perfect symbol of the great power of the nature, are display of our planet's evolution and its state of change.
12. Which can't be regarded as a similarity between tornadoes and earthquakes
A. They can not be prevented.
B. They are both geological events.
C. They cause damage to people.
D. They are both the result of natural environmental processes.
13. The reason why natural disasters cause so much damage is that ________.
A. it is very difficult to predict when exactly they will happen
B. our forecasting equipment is too old for many natural disasters
C. we don't do enough preparation before natural disasters strike
D. we don't have the necessary public services to use after natural disasters strike
14. It may be concluded from the passage that ________.
A. natural disasters can not be predicted at all
B. human beings are pessimistic to the future
C. being well-prepared can avoid economic losses
D. good preparation and disaster management are advisable.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. a symbol of the power of nature B. the greatest threat to mankind
C. Natural disasters and mankind D. reduce losses to the least
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C

I love reading. So the library is my favorite place in my spare time. Whenever I am free, I will go there and bury me in the books, which makes me relaxing. One day I went to the library as usual. I was selecting books while a little boy caught my attention. Stand in front of a shelf, he was doing his best to put the book back in place. However, he was so short to place it. I walk to him, asking him if he needed help. He thanked for me and handed me the book, which name was A Short History of Nearly Everything. I said that I was glad help him, a boy who was thirsty for knowledge. Hearing this, he smiled.
【答案】1. me→myself
2. relaxing→relaxed
3. while→when
4. Stand→Standing
5. the →a
6. so→too
7. walk→walked
8. 删去for
9. which→whose
10. 在glad后加to
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了喜爱阅读的作者经常去图书馆，有一天他在图书馆看到一个努力想把书放回原位的小男孩，作者上前帮助并夸奖了小男孩。
【详解】1. 考查代词。句意：我有空时就会去那里，埋头于书堆里，这让我很放松。此处使用bury一词，常与反身代词连用并后接介词in构成短语bury oneself in，表示“专心致志于、埋头于”，且主语和宾语所指相同时，宾语用反身代词。故将me改为myself。
2. 考查形容词。句意：我有空时就会去那里，埋头于书堆里，这让我很放松。分析句子可知，此处使用使役动词make，me是宾语，而其后的形容词作为宾补应修饰宾语，要用表主观感受、修饰人的relaxed表示“放松的、轻松的”。故将relaxing改为relaxed。
3. 考查连词。句意：我在挑书时一个小男孩吸引了我的注意。表示正在做某事时突然……，使用句式为：be doing… when…，故将while改为when。
4. 考查非谓语动词。句意：他站在书架前，尽全力把书放回原位。分析句子可知，stand在这里作状语，与主句主语he之间是主谓关系，应使用现在分词形式。故将Stand改为Standing。
5. 考查冠词。句意：他站在书架前，尽全力把书放回原位。这里表示“一个”的泛指概念，应使用不定冠词，且book的发音是辅音音素开头，应用a。故将the改为a。
6. 考查副词。句意：不过，他个子太小以至于放不上去。由句意可知，这里要表达“太……以至于不能……”，应使用too...to...结构。故将so改为too。
7. 考查时态。句意：我向他走去，问他是否需要帮助。这里仍是作者讲述的某天发生的事情的一部分，即动作发生在过去，应使用一般过去时。故将walk改为walked。
8. 考查介词。句意：他感谢了我，并且把书递给了我。thank for表示“因……而表示感谢”，“感谢某人”是thank sb,故将for删去。
9. 考查定语从句。句意：书的名字叫《万物简史》。分析句子可知，此处引导定语从句，关系词代替先行词book在从句中充当定语，与name的所属关系，应用关系代词whose，故将which改为whose。
10. 考查非谓语动词，句意：我说我很乐意帮助他一个渴望知识的男孩。此处为固定结构be+adj.+to do sth.“做某事是……”。故在glad后加to。

Age has never been a problem for 16-year-old Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.
The North Chicago-area teen started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, which is for people who were forced to leave their homes because of earthquake, flood and other natural disasters.
At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for church events and leadership meetings.
She doesn’t stop there, though. The teen plans to focus on aviation psychology (航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time. Her goal is to use it to help pilots deal with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.
In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group at church. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners with trends. Her third book The Genius Race is designed to help people to be talents in various areas of life.
4. Which of the following is TRUE about Thessalonika
A. She majored in science and technology.
B. She gained her master’s degree at the age of 11.
C. When she was 6 years old, she started homeschooling.
D. In 2013 she got her bachelor’s degree through completing courses online.
5. What is her next plan according to the passage
A. Major in aviation psychology.
B. Be active in her youth group at church.
C. Write another book to help people to be talents.
D. Deliver inspiring speeches for church events and leadership meetings.
6. Why does she write the book Jump the Education Barrier
A. It aims to help people to be geniuses.
B. It is designed to arouse people’s awareness of psychology.
C. It is aimed to give students a hand to complete college.
D. The author hope to share her own experience with others.
7. What is the main idea of the text
A. The secret to become a talent is to start schooling at an early age.
B. Thessalonika led a rather successful and meaningful life.
C. Homeschooling is a good way to educate children.
D. Three published books help people become masters in their fields.
C
Tired of your quiet day-to-day life How about leaving your computer games behind and taking up an extreme sport
You can ride a bicycle, right In that case you’re halfway to becoming a mountain biker. All you have to do is take your bike off the road and try some hilly areas. Mountain biking was developed in California in the 1970s and became an Olympic sport in 1996.
Not challenging enough Skydivers jump from planes at a height of 1,000 to 4,000 meters. You have to be fit but there’s no age limit with this sport. For example, Dilys Price from Cardiff went on her first jump aged 54. The minute she came down, she wanted to go up again. She said: “It was so attractive”.
Some adventures have invented base jumping, in which people jump from tall structures, such as buildings or bridges, with a parachute. Many of their jumps aren’t legal, especially in the cities.Dan Witchalls has jumped off The Shard —London’s 310 meter-high building four times.He says, “Base jumping is scarier than jumping out of a plane. In a plane there is no sense of height, but when you are standing on the edge of the building you can see people and cars, the experience makes it very real.”
It seems there’s no shortage of imagination when it comes to risking life to look cool and get the heart beating wildly. Surfing, diving, rock climbing ...And how about extreme ironing That is, pressing your clothes on top of a mountain! Extreme ironing is said to have been created in the 1990s in England by a man who saw a large amount of wrinkled clothes and felt bored when doing the cloth ironing. That man was Phil Shaw. For him, the excitement of this sport comes from looking at the viewers’ faces. Shaw says, “Sometimes they look confused; sometimes they laugh. It’s fun to see how people react to it.”
8. What does the author think about mountain biking
A. A bit boring. B. Challenging indeed.
C. Great fun. D. Not very hard.
9. What does the author want to show with the example in paragraph 3
A. Skydivers have to be very healthy. B. Skydiving is not challenging enough.
C Elderly people can also take up skydiving. D. People can easily become crazy about skydiving.
10. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The sense of height. B. Base jumping experience.
C. The edge of the building. D. Jumping out of a plane.
11. Why did Phil Shaw invent extreme ironing
A. He liked ironing clothes. B. He wanted to make clothes ironing more fun.
C. He enjoyed different looks on people's faces. D. He had a good view standing on top of a mountain.
D
What is the greatest threat to mankind Maybe different people come up with different answers. However, there is no denying the fact that the only threat to humankind, apart from humankind itself, is, without any doubt, the nature. Natural disasters are the result of natural environmental processes that have a damaging effect on people. Natural disasters can come in many forms: such as geological events like earthquakes, tsunamis or mud-rock flows, climatic events like storms, hurricanes or tornadoes and fire events like forest fires and wildfires.
The damage done by natural disasters is mainly as a result of our inability to predict exactly when they will happen. Although great progress has been made in designing and developing forecasting models for some natural disaster, complete certainty is still impossible. Even to be pessimistic there is a possibility that human beings will never achieve accurate prediction of the happening of all natural disasters.
What's more, even though we were able to predict these disasters from nature, preventing them is equally impossible. So we only have two ways to both prevent injuries or deaths and reduce economic losses to the least. These two methods are to prepare before a natural disaster comes to hit, and to manage the necessary resources and public services after a natural disaster strikes.
These two things have always been at the leading position of the projects of both national governments and international organizations. In the United States, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for the "preparedness, response and recovery planning" of both man-made and natural disasters.
Most natural disasters cannot be prevented, and both emergency preparation and good disaster management are the best ways to deal with them. Although natural events may appear to serve no purpose but simply to punish and destroy, natural disasters, a perfect symbol of the great power of the nature, are display of our planet's evolution and its state of change.
12. Which can't be regarded as a similarity between tornadoes and earthquakes
A. They can not be prevented.
B. They are both geological events.
C. They cause damage to people.
D. They are both the result of natural environmental processes.
13. The reason why natural disasters cause so much damage is that ________.
A. it is very difficult to predict when exactly they will happen
B. our forecasting equipment is too old for many natural disasters
C. we don't do enough preparation before natural disasters strike
D. we don't have the necessary public services to use after natural disasters strike
14. It may be concluded from the passage that ________.
A. natural disasters can not be predicted at all
B. human beings are pessimistic to the future
