When it comes to the most famous 20th century painters of the United States, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself , “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me”. No one could have had a more active old age．
She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927．
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff (僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930’s and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it” she said．
24．What can we learn about Moses
A．She stopped painting in her late seventies. B．She still led an active life when she was old.
C．Her marriage life was not happy. D．She painted oils as a child.
25．What did Grandma Moses spend most of her life doing
A．Embroidering. B．Farming.
C．Nursing. D．Painting.
26．What does the underlined word “portrayals ” in the last paragraph mean
A．Directions. B．Stages.
C．Surveys. D．Descriptions.
27．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A．Grandma Moses: the Best Woman Painter
B．Grandma Moses and Her Farm Life
C．Grandma Moses and Her Exhibition
D．Grandma Moses : A Famous Woman Painter of 20th Century
C
Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In September, 1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shaanxi Province in 1556. It killed almost one million people and caused a lot of damage.
We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter Scale. The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA．It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.
The Earths’ crust(地壳)is made up of layers of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such a Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible(可变动的), so when the Earth moves, they move with it.
Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damages as the earthquake itself.
Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis(海啸). These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many metres high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities. Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence(发生)of earthquakes in the world.
28．The passage is mainly about ______.
A．scientists who study earthquakes. B．the way of measuring earthquakes.
C．a usual natural disaster—earthquakes. D．what people should do in the earthquake.
29．Which of the following statements about the earthquake in Shaanxi Province is NOT true
A．It happened in 1556. B．It killed almost one million people.
C．In caused a lot of damage. D．It was followed by fires.
30．Why are modern buildings in Tokyo built to be flexible
A．To prevent the crust from quaking. B．To stop the plates from moving.
C．To measure earthquakes. D．To move with the Earth.
31．According to the passage we know that tsunamis________.
A．can cause earthquakes. B．are caused by earthquakes.
C．only happen on land. D．are a way of measuring earthquakes.
D
China will deliver its first homemade C919 large passenger plane by the end of 2022, reported Xinhua.
The plane, developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), gained the type certificate (TC) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) at the end of September.
“The type certificate means the C919 has the ‘certificate of entering’ into the civil aviation market.” Yang Zhenmei a senior CAAC official, told Xinhua. It also shows that China has the ability to independently develop world-class large passenger aircraft, and marks an important milestone for the country’s large aircraft industry.
The C919 is a fourth-generation aircraft, which has a wingspan of nearly 36 meters, a length of about 39 meters and a tail height of around 12 meters. It has 158 to 168 seats. With a range of 4,075 to 5,555 kilometers, the C919 is able to fly between any two cities in China. So far, 800 C919 aircraft have been ordered by 28 customers.
Its aerodynamically — designed wings made from advanced metals and composites (复合材料) help improve fuel efficiency while reducing noise in the cabin. Its cockpit with the latest navigation technology and the so-called “fly by wire” computer controls, makes the C919 competitive with other narrow-body jets.
Wu Guanghui, the chief designer of the C919, said he believes China will need around 2,000 narrow-body jets like the C919 in the future. “It will take up more than 70 percent of the commercial aircraft in China’s civil aviation industry. We decided to make this kind of plane because it’s the most needed product in the market.” said Wu.
32．What can we learn about the C919 from the first two paragraphs
A．It was delivered to foreign customers. B．It was built with the help of other countries
C．It was moved out of the civil aviation market. D．It got the type certificate from CAAC in September.
33．What probably makes the C919 better than other narrow-body jets
A．The size of the C919. B．The distance that the C919 can fly.
C．The advanced technology the C919 used. D．The number of passengers that the C919 can hold.
34．What can we know from Wu Guanghui’s words
A．The C919 has huge market potential. B．The C919 is welcomed by civil passengers.
C．China will not make money from selling planes. D．China is going to rule the world aircraft market.
35．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A．To report a key event of the C919. B．To compare the C919 with other planes.
C．To announce the disadvantages of the C919. D．To support technological innovation of the C919.

How to Get Confidence in Your English Speaking
Read out loud.
Reading out loud can help build confidence in how your English sounds. So the next time you are reading a website, book or something else that you enjoy, take a few minutes to read the material aloud.
Before reading aloud, read the story silently first. The second time, if there is audio, you can listen to the speaker as you read along silently. ___36___ Then, try listening to the speaker and reading out loud at the same time.
Speak in full sentences
Speak in complete sentences and give longer responses when possible. ___37___ Using complete sentences and giving more details in responses shows listeners that you are not afraid to speak English.
Don’t worry too much.
One of the biggest difficulties to confidence in speaking a second language is the constant worry about making mistakes. So our tip is: Do not worry too much about mistakes.
Understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the language learning process. Yes, you will make mistakes. But keep in mind that the purpose of speaking a language is to communicate. ___38___
Set realistic goals.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Paul and I were on our school basketball team, The Lions. We loved basketball and were both huge fans of the NBA．When we weren't playing on the court which was next to our building, we were watching a game on TV. My favorite player was LeBron James. Paul's favorite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions.
Bogues was only 1.6 meters tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA．Guess what Paul was only 1.6 meters tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said, "If Bogues could make it, why not me "
Our coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. However, Paul didn't get a chance.
This week. The Lions were playing our main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn't lost a single game. It would be a tough one. Paul didn't know he'd soon get the chance that he' d been waiting for.
Suddenly, a player and I crashed into each other. Pain raced through my body. My knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and my team was behind by 10 points.
注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
I said quietly to the coach that I couldn't play anymore as the doctor put an ice pack on my knee.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court.

67．Paragraph 1
I said quietly to the coach that I couldn't play anymore as the doctor put an ice pack on my knee. The coach was very sad and told me that there were no more players. Then someone recommended Paul, but the coach said Paul couldn't play. Another player also suggested letting Paul have a try. Meanwhile, other players agreed, too. After a while, Paul himself asked the coach to let him try and promised that he wouldn't let the coach down. Finally, the coach agreed. He told Paul that it was his time to shine.
Paragraph 2
Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court. And clearly, all the extra hours that he'd spent practicing alone paid off. The other team just couldn't keep up with his energy and speed. He made shot after shot, and the crowd couldn't stop clapping and cheering. When the game ended, our team had won by two points. The coach and other teammates were surprised at Paul' s performance. The coach hit Paul on the shoulder and said that he' d just earned his place on the team.
