Smokejumpers
Every year, wildfires destroy millions of hectares of forest. Homes are damaged, and thousands of people die. Smokejumpers are helping to stop this.
What is a smokejumper
Smokejumpers are a special type of firefighter. They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, like the middle of a mountain forest. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
What do smokejumpers do
At a fire site, smokejumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop a fire from spreading. Using basic equipment such as shovels and axes, smokejumpers clear land of burnable material like plants and other dry material. They carry water with them too, but only a limited amount.
Who can be a smokejumper
Although I the majority of smokejumpers are men, more women are joining Most important are your height and weight. Smokejumpers employed in the U. s, for example, must be 120 to 200 pounds (54 to 91 kilograms), so they don’t get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds. Smokejumpers must also be capable of surviving in the wildness.
The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for these firefighters, smokejumping isn’t just an occupation. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old smokejumper Bob Smith says, “This is the best job for tough guys.”
21. What is the first thing a smokejumper does after arriving at a fire sit
A. Clear the land. B. Study the area.
C. Look for water. D. Put out the fire.
22. If you want to be a smokejumper, you must be _________.
A. male B. within a certain weight range
C. able to fly a plane D. older than 28 years of age
23. From which website would you most probably find this text
A. all-occupations.org B. what-is-on.com
C. D. adventuretours.org

Under the first full moon of the year, music lovers in Norway sit on seats made of ice and covered with animal skins. On a frozen stage, musicians in furry hats and coats play instruments, carved from ice! This show is the Ice Music Festival, the only concert in the world of its kind. This cool idea began in 1999, when musician Terje Isungset played music inside a frozen waterfall. The amazing sounds that he heard led him to start using ice as a musical instrument. Isungset spent years experimenting with ice instruments. The more he learned, the more excited he became. After years of trial and error, he was ready to start the Ice Music Festival in 2016.
To prepare the frozen instruments, Isungset hunts for the best natural sources of ice. He tests each source of ice by cutting out a piece, tapping it with his finger, and listening to the sound it produces. Experience tells him whether the ice will make a good instrument. He prefers not to use human-made ice, because he believes frozen lake water sounds better. This may be supported by science. Scientists have noticed that natural ice has fewer bubbles (气泡), which could lead to a clearer sound.
Once the ice has been soured, professional ice carvers use tools to create instruments. They carve everything from saxophones to xylophones. The carvers often change the look of the instruments, which helps them produce special, even unique, sounds. Each year, the goal of the festival is to challenge musicians to make creative music when playing these one-of-a-kind ice instruments. Playing the frozen instruments is a challenge. Each performance surprises both the musicians and the audience. After the concert is over, Isungset jokes that the musicians will drink their instruments. Actually, they just leave their stage and instruments behind, giving it all back to nature.
24. What inspired Isungset’s interest in ice music
A. Learning to play an ice instrument.
B. Attending the first Ice Music Festival,
C. Playing music in a frozen environment.
D. Experimenting with frozen instruments.
25. How does Isungset choose the best ice
A. By testing the sound that it makes.
B. By referring to scientific explanations.
C. By comparing the sources of ice pieces.
D. By checking the number of bubbles it has.
26. What is the biggest challenge faced by ice music musicians
A. Playing in such cold weather.
B. Getting rid of their instruments.
C. Selecting their instruments' look.
D. Predicting their instruments' sounds.
27. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To promote the talents of Terje Isungset.
B. To review a recently-held music festival.
C. To introduce a new and original type of music.
D. To encourage people to join in the Ice Music Festival.
C
After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park in 1995. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By 2007, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170.
Gray wolves once roamed throughout the Yellowstone area. But they were gradually displaced by human development and hunted by farmers for killing livestock (牲畜) By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They moved farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there was less contact with humans.
The disappearance of the wolves had many consequences. Deer population—a major food source for the wolf—grew rapidly without their usual enemy. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation, which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote (小野狼) populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the parks red foxes.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves into Yellowstone, hoping that they would be able to control the deer and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan, worrying that wolves would kill their livestock or pets. Other people feared that the wolves would not be well-protected in Yellowstone.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. They included many compromises to help people accept the wolves’ presence. For example, they promised to pay farmers for livestock killed by wolves.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolves in Yellowstone. Certain wolves wear special collars to help biologists gather information about how the wolves live, hunt, and reproduce. Each year the wolf population is counted.
Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Deer and coyote populations are down, while red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Why gray wolves became a danger to farmers.
B. What gray wolves preferred about living in Canada.
C. How gray wolves were forced out of their original homes.
D. When gray wolves were gradually reintroduced to Yellowstone.
29. How is paragraph 3 developed
A. By making comparisons.
B. By explaining cause and effect.
C. By listing events in time order.
D. By using statistics and examples.
30. Why did biologists suggest the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone
A. To reduce the park’s plant diversity.
B. To protect the wolves from dying out.
C. To control the local livestock problem.
D. To limit the deer and coyote populations.
31. Which statement best summarizes the writer’s viewpoint
A. Wolves are an important part of American national parks.
B. Yellowstone’s wolf reintroduction program was a mistake.
C. The government should be responsible for reintroducing wolves.
D. Yellowstone’s wolf program has benefited the wolves and the park.
D
There will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans by 2050．That is what a new report from the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation warns．If the current trend continues，the report said，oceans will contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish in 2025．By 2050，plastics will weigh more than fish．The problem is that each year at least 8 million tons of plastics end up in oceans around the world．This is the same as dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute．
Not all plastic ends up in the ocean because someone throws a plastic bottle into the water．Plastic containers and other trash thrown onto streets and sidewalks often are swept into oceans．Unlike other types of trash in the ocean，the plastic never bio-degrades．There is a way to slow the amount of plastics going into the oceans—people can recycle more．Currently only about 14 percent of plastics are recycled．Research in Europe shows as much as 53 percent of plastic could be recycled using available technology．The report says that another solution is using less plastic for packaging products．But that is not likely to happen．
“Given plastic packaging’s many benefits，both the possibility and desirability of an across-the-board dramatic reduction in the volume of plastic packaging used is clearly low，”the report said．But the authors note reducing the use of plastics should be tried“where possible．”For decades，scientists warned that plastics are killing fish．Research shows that fish are dying from choking after eating plastics．Another cause of death is that plastics cause“intestinal blockage and starvation，”the environmental group said．
32．Why is the garbage truck mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．To explain how plastics end up in the ocean．
B．To warn people against the ocean pollution．
C．To clarify the seriousness of the problem．
D．To point out some details of the report．
33．Why is plastic more dangerous than other types of trash
A．There is too much of it． B．It poisons the ocean water．
C．It is from different sources． D．It is hard to break down．
34．What is the author’s attitude to the suggested solutions
A．Pessimistic． B．Curious． C．Unconcerned． D．Terrified．
35．What can we infer from the text
A．People are not aware of the problem．
B．Recycling is limited by lack of technology．
C．Plastic packaging has become part of our life．
D．Fish in the ocean will be replaced by plastics．

Are you sitting more than ever ___36___ You’re probably sitting while reading this. Sometimes you sit when you are driving or attending a meeting. Other times you sit when you engage yourself in watching a movie or playing computer games. That’s undoubtedly a lot of sitting. The fact is, the amount of time spent sitting has increased over time. ___37___
We know sitting too much is bad, and most of us naturally feel a little guilty after a long-time TV watching. ___38___ A study on nearly 8,000 adults suggests that there’s a direct relationship between the time spent sitting and our risk of early death of any cause. As the total sitting time increases, so does the risk of early death.
“Sit less, move more” is what the Heart Association encourages us to do. ___39___ It is like telling someone to just “exercise” without telling them how. Exercise guidelines are always more practical. For example, the Center for Disease Control recommends adults do exercise for two hours and 30 minutes every week, plus muscle strengthening activities two or more days a week. We need similar guidelines for sitting.
___40___ “It would probably be like, for every 30 continuous minutes of sitting, stand up and move or walk for five minutes at a quick pace,” Diaz, the lead researcher said, adding that the study has put us a step closer to the satisfying guidelines. But more researches are needed to confirm their approach.
A. Now it’s time to get up and move around.
B. Take a moment to think about your sitting activities.
C. Heath experts also suggest exercising on a daily basis.
D. But this guideline is just too simple and abstract to make a difference.
E. As of today, average adult will spend 56-86% of their daily time sitting.
F. But what exactly goes wrong when we park ourselves for nearly eight hours per day
G. To make up for the weakness, a research team is working on a more specific guideline.

Two things changed my life: my mother and a bike basket. It’s true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a bike basket into a life lesson I carry with me today—A lesson about the value of efforts.
My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what other kids did, we’d hear something like, “I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room or a big party.” We had to earn our allowance (零用钱) by doing chores (家务) around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.
It was one summer day. My mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed—and there it was in the window—white, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers. The basket winked at me and I knew—I knew—I had to have it.
“It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her, “What a neat basket.”
I tried to hold off at first, but then I couldn’t stand it any longer. “Mom, please can I get it I’ll do extra chores for as long as you say. I’ll do anything, but I love that basket. Please, Mom, please ” I was desperate.
“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, “If you save up you could buy this yourself.”
“By the time I earn enough it’ll be gone! Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please ”
“There might be another way,” she said.

1.续写词数应为 150 左右；

“I’ll buy it now but you only get it after 3 weeks of double chores,” Mom explained. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Li Hua, a Chinese student who is taking a summer course in New York now. I have learned from your advertisement that a Chinese china exhibition will be held in the local museum, so I am writing to apply for the position as a student volunteer.
I can speak fluent English as well as standard Chinese. Besides, I once learned a lot about china in our school china club and have been crazy about collecting varieties of cups made of china. Young and energetic, I’m keen on communicating with foreign friends.
I would be grateful if my application could meet with your approval. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节 故事续写
“I’ll buy it now but you only get it after 3 weeks of double chores,” Mom explained. I agreed immediately and Mom bought the flowery basket and kept it somewhere I couldn’t find. Each day, I finished my new routine of double household chores with passion and enthusiasm Each night, I crossed off another day on the calender as I counted down the days. As the days passed, the basket seemed to become even more beautiful in my imagination. The extra chores didn’t bother me. The basket was worth it. The anticipation grew stronger as the days ticked down.
Finally, I got my dream basket, but soon I sadly found the same basket on others’ bikes. So shocked and upset was I that I immediately went home to report this disaster to my mom. Seeing my sulky face, she gently wiped away my tears. Holding my little face in her warm hands, she spoke out what has become the lesson I still carry with me today. “Your basket is not ‘the same basket’. It’s unique because it was not obtained by mere money but by all your worthwhile effort and waiting.”
