We all know the dangers of fires. It’s good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.
Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
Buy fire extinguishers(灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.
Practise for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
★Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
★Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.
★What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.
There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don’t forget to call 119 for help.
1. When a smoke alarm rings at home, it means ___.
A. you have to get up B. something is burning

Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的). I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
There’s a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think

When you put down your pens at the end of college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. It’s time to enjoy yourselves!
There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.
High school students in western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a party to mark their graduation. It is to mark the time when kids turn into young men and women. After the party, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they will no longer depend on their parents as before.
At the party, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.
Common party activities include dining, dancing, crowning of a ball king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class party through the four years of their high school.
High schools in or near large cities may rent big rooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure boat. But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of efforts to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the party will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.
Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the party. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to say good-bye.
If you like the idea of a party, why don’t you and your classmates organize one for your graduation

C．They have grown up and need friends’ help.
D．They are adults and will not depend on parents.
10．What does the underlined word “mark” in paragraph 3 mean

11．From the fourth paragraph ,we can infer that ________.
A．the party is very interesting
B．girls like to make themselves beautiful at all hours
C．boys wear as usual to attend the party
D．graduates pay much attention to the party
D
The Underwater Photographer of the Year, which originated from 1965, is a yearly contest（比赛） based in the United Kingdom. As you might expect, the focus is on photos taken under water, whether in the ocean, in lakes or rivers, or even swimming pools.
The pictures are judged in several different categories. The contest in 2019 had over 5,500 entries from 70 different countries.
The grand prize winner was “Frozen Mobile Home” by French photographer Greg Lecoeur. The photo shows seals swimming around a small iceberg. To get the picture, Mr. Lecoeur traveled to Antarctica in a small boat and spent time tracking the life around floating icebergs.
The photo “Last Dawn, Last Gasp”（最后的黎明，最后的喘息） by Pasquale Vassallo of Italy won the award for Ocean Protection Photographer of the Year. Mr. Vassallo said that he went diving early in the morning to take this picture of a tuna (金枪鱼) trapped as fishermen pulled their nets in.
Mr. Vassallo also took “Octopus Training”（章鱼训练）， a picture that won in the category of “Behavior”. He says that when he came up after a dive, he noticed a soccer ball floating on the surface. When he went to check it out, he saw that there was an octopus hanging from the ball. Mr. Vassallo says he doesn't understand what the octopus was doing, but wonders if it was training for the World Cup.
Though Rooman Luc of Belgium didn't win the “Portrait” category, his photo, titled “Angry Seahorse”， is quite striking. The close up shot（特写镜头） of a seahorse staring strictly into the camera was named runner up (second place). He said he spent nearly an hour standing in knee high water being bitten by mosquitos （蚊子）in order to get the picture.
The contest has many more amazing photos that can be viewed on the site, along with the stories behind them. There is even a book with all of the contents that can be downloaded for free.
12．Which isn't suitable to enter the Underwater Photographer of the Year contest
A．The crying dolphin（海豚）.
B．Saving the elephant.
C．The dancing lemon shark.
D．Kissing the whale.
13．In which section of a website can we read the text
A．Arts. B．Literature.
C．Documentary （纪录片）. D．Education.
14．What is the photo “Last Dawn, Last Gasp” aimed to tell us
A．A tuna is hard to shoot.
B．We should protect ocean animals.
C．Diving early in the morning is painful.
D．There are too many fishing nets in the sea.
15．What can we learn from the photo of “Octopus Training”？
A．The Octopus is endangered.
B．Photo taking should be serious.
C．The photographer has a sense of humor

第二节 续写 （满分25分）
Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see！”
“No，” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go，” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.

1．续写词数应为150左右；

Robert was fast sinking.

六 续写答案
Robert was fast sinking. An overwhelming sense of horror and depression swallowed him. He was just about to be unconscious when Henry passed by. Driven by the scream for help and the boy’s astonished look. Henry came to the river bank and witnessed the sinking Robert. He jumped into the water without the slightest hesitation and pushed Robert with all his power. The whole progress seemed to be happening in a blink of an eye. Robert couldn’t believe it is Henry that came to his rescue.
Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert hugged Henry tightly with his body shivering like leaves. The mixture of shame and appreciation struck into his heart while tears welled up in his eyes. “Thank you, Henry. I’m so sorry for my rude behavior before. You are the bravest one in the world.” A smile bloomed on Henry’s face. As what Henry had thought before, true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved.
