The example of a foreign teacher who volunteered to help fight the wildfires in Chongqing’s Beibei District with other local residents has touched many.
In the unbearable heat and drought conditions, multiple wildfires hit parts of Chongqing. On Sunday night, a forest fire broke out and spread in Beibei District. The local government issued an urgent call for volunteers with certain skills and experience, such as chain saw（链锯）operation, to join in the firefighting. Chain saws were used to create fire barriers.
“I was happy to help,” said Francis Stonier, a professor in a university. “I used to cut trees around my yard and neighborhood and had volunteered many times in the US in the past.”
Stonier found a translator—50-year-old He Wu, a foreign language professor—who also signed up to fight fires. Soon after arriving at the volunteer area, the pair were assigned to one of the chain saw groups—examining and adjusting chain saws.
“Stonier is responsible and focused, and is doing a really good job,” said He, adding that Stonier checked each chain saw carefully, to see if it was too tight or too loose. “Wherever I went, the volunteers and local residents gave me a big thumbs-up. It was an unforgettable experience,” Stonier said.
Thanks to the joint efforts of fire and rescue workers, as well as volunteers and residents, the scaring wildfire in Beibei had been put out as of Thursday night.
“It was great to see such an outpouring of help in the extreme heat,” Stonier said, noting that he was impressed with the number of locals who came to help. Motorcyclists gave up their jobs to transport materials and people up and down the mountains. Others gave their time to carry heavy supplies, prepare and serve meals or help organize.
4. What caused the outbreak of the forest fire in Beibei District
A. The extreme heat and drought.
B The local area being short of water.
C. The existence of enough oil materials.
D. The lack of people guarding the forest.
5. Why was Stonier accepted to participate in the firefighting
A. He was capable of creating fire barriers.
B. He was experienced in chain saw operation.
C He was determined to become a firefighter.
D. He showed no consideration for his own safety.
6 Which words can best describe Stonier
A. Determined and creative. B. Generous and independent.
C. Devoted and courageous. D. Humorous and passionate.
7. What message does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph
A. To care is to help. B. Many hands make light work.
C. Dare to challenge and achieve yourself. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C
Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of green-house gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much, and how often, you travel.
Going car free for a year could save about 2. 6 tons of carbon dioxide, according to a study from the University of British Columbia. How can you stop using a car Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike.
But let’s be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year. So, when you do, here are some tips to make your trip more climate-friendly. Driving efficiently can help to reduce emissions. Go easy on the gas and brakes and drive like you have an egg under your foot. Regularly service your car to keep it more efficient. Keeping your tires pumped correctly can re-duce emissions. Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up. So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control (定速巡航) on long drives-in most cases, this can help to save gas. Don’t weigh your car down with extra things that you don’t need on your trip.
Fly often Taking one fewer long round-trip flight could reduce your personal carbon footprint significantly. If you use public transportation often and fly less, your carbon foot-print might still be relatively sustainable, but if you drive and fly a lot, your emissions will be sigher. If you can’t avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable proacts, such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally.
8. What does the author think of going car free
A. Efficient. B. Costly. C. Impractical. D. Reliable.
9. Which can be adopted to save fuel of your car
A. Maintaining your car properly. B. Using cruise control in the city.
C. Stepping hard on the gas and brakes. D. Geiting rid of all the necessary loads.
10. What does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Make up for. B. Team up with. C. Set foot in. D. Put up with.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. How to save fuel when driving cars B. How to reduce your carbon footprint
C. Reduce carbon footprint by all means D. Lower carbon footprint in transportation
D
A national engineering laboratory in Tianjin is the base of the world’s largest and most advanced sound source identification system for commercial use. At first glance, the equipment, known as a sound camera and consisting of a big wheel with a supporting frame, resembles a mini Ferris wheel that lacks seats and cannot rotate. A closer look at the 5-meter-diameter wheel reveals high-tech features like an array of 144 sensors (传感器) used to capture, identify and analyze the source of noise on railways. “It is like a sound radar (雷达) for discovering noise,” said Hu Wenlin, vice head of the National Engineering Laboratory for Noise Control and Reduction at China Railway Design Corporation.
Hu said that the data produced by the machine allows engineers to better understand the sounds generated when a train passes by, such as which part produces the most noise. After analyzing the data, engineers can draw up precise plans to reduce noise and make construction plans accordingly. For example, if a railway passes a residential area with stricter noise abatement requirements, engineers can come up with a plan to minimize noise, usually at greater expense. But if a railway passes a place with more relaxed noise control requirements, designers can make a cheaper plan.
Noise control technologies have been applied to dozens of major railway projects across the country. The sound camera, fully developed in China, is advanced by world standards, said Wang Changjin, the director of the National Engineering Laboratory. Before the sound camera was available, engineers usually used a pole fitted with sensors to collect sound data along railway lines. “It cannot be compared to the technique we are using now, which is far more accurate,” Wang said.
The machine is just one of many innovations developed by the laboratory. It has conducted many research projects on railways, leading to the development of key noise control equipment for high-speed railways and bringing quieter lives to people living near the lines.
12. What can we know about the sound camera from paragraph 1
A. It is invented by Hu Wenlin. B. It is a sound radar in the shape of a wheel.
C. It is fitted with many sensors to study noise. D. It transforms sound information into images.
13. What does the underlined word “abatement” probably mean
A. Monitoring. B. Ranking. C. Reducing. D. Analyzing.
14. What highlights the sound camera according to paragraph 3
A. It is very easy to move. B. It consumes little energy.
C. It is available for everyone. D. It operates far more precisely.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Technology Frees People from Noise B. Sound Camera Makes Rail Lines Quieter
C. The Importance of Conducting Sound Research D. The Influence of Noise Pollution on People’s Life

My father asked me to chat with him for a while. Actually, I was unwilling to listen to his talking endlessly as he always did. My father was a lawyer, but I never wanted to go to law school or follow his path through life.
As was expected, he cleared his throat and started to say, “Er... What... What do you really want to do in the gorgeous(灿烂的) future ”
I was silent for a moment playing with the cell phone. I kept thinking, “Should I tell him my true thoughts What if he gets angry What if I let him down ” later I replied, “Well, I want to be a writer.”
I guessed this may be not the answer he would expect. But surprisingly, “Interesting idea!” he answered. I was shocked, speaking in a low voice with hesitation.
“Are you serious dad ”
“Well, you need confidence and good preparations, and you still have plenty of time. You need to find out what you really enjoy now. Look, it’s late. Let’s take the boat out tomorrow morning, just you and me. Maybe we can catch some crabs (螃蟹) for dinner, and we can talk more.”
Early next morning we packed up the equipment and set off for the coast. We didn’t talk much, but enjoyed the sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline.
There were no big waves and blinding sunlight at that time. “Let’s see if we are lucky,” he said, picked up a web basket with a rope tied and threw it into the sea. We waited a while, then my father stood up and said, “Give me a hand with this,” and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck.
To our joy, the cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs. Squatting (蹲) down, we watched them for a moment. At first they fought against each other to climb out hard, trying to escape. Many were pulled back into the cage. Later, some gave up, but there were still some crabs trying to escape again and again.

Stonier found a translator—50-year-old He Wu, a foreign language professor—who also signed up to fight fires. Soon after arriving at the volunteer area, the pair were assigned to one of the chain saw groups—examining and adjusting chain saws.
“Stonier is responsible and focused, and is doing a really good job,” said He, adding that Stonier checked each chain saw carefully, to see if it was too tight or too loose. “Wherever I went, the volunteers and local residents gave me a big thumbs-up. It was an unforgettable experience,” Stonier said.
Thanks to the joint efforts of fire and rescue workers, as well as volunteers and residents, the scaring wildfire in Beibei had been put out as of Thursday night.
“It was great to see such an outpouring of help in the extreme heat,” Stonier said, noting that he was impressed with the number of locals who came to help. Motorcyclists gave up their jobs to transport materials and people up and down the mountains. Others gave their time to carry heavy supplies, prepare and serve meals or help organize.
4. What caused the outbreak of the forest fire in Beibei District
A. The extreme heat and drought.

Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of green-house gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much, and how often, you travel.
Going car free for a year could save about 2. 6 tons of carbon dioxide, according to a study from the University of British Columbia. How can you stop using a car Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike.
But let’s be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year. So, when you do, here are some tips to make your trip more climate-friendly. Driving efficiently can help to reduce emissions. Go easy on the gas and brakes and drive like you have an egg under your foot. Regularly service your car to keep it more efficient. Keeping your tires pumped correctly can re-duce emissions. Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up. So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control (定速巡航) on long drives-in most cases, this can help to save gas. Don’t weigh your car down with extra things that you don’t need on your trip.
Fly often Taking one fewer long round-trip flight could reduce your personal carbon footprint significantly. If you use public transportation often and fly less, your carbon foot-print might still be relatively sustainable, but if you drive and fly a lot, your emissions will be sigher. If you can’t avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable proacts, such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally.
8. What does the author think of going car free
A. Efficient. B. Costly. C. Impractical. D. Reliable.
9. Which can be adopted to save fuel of your car
A. Maintaining your car properly. B. Using cruise control in the city.
C. Stepping hard on the gas and brakes. D. Geiting rid of all the necessary loads.
10. What does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Make up for. B. Team up with. C. Set foot in. D. Put up with.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. How to save fuel when driving cars B. How to reduce your carbon footprint
C. Reduce carbon footprint by all means D. Lower carbon footprint in transportation
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍如何选择适当的出行方式来降低运输过程中的碳足迹。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“How can you stop using a car Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike.(你怎么能停止开车？试着坐火车、公共汽车，或者骑自行车)”和第三段“But let’s be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year.(但让我们现实一点。今年你可能需要用车)”可知，作者认为不使用汽车是不切实际的。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up. So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control (定速巡航) on long drives-in most cases, this can help to save gas. Don’t weigh your car down with extra things that you don’t need on your trip.(轮胎气压过低会影响你的燃油经济性。空调和频繁的城市驾驶会使排放上升，所以尽可能减少这些排放。在长途驾驶中使用巡航控制——在大多数情况下，这可以帮助节省汽油。不要给你的车添置旅途中不需要的额外物品)”可知，适当的保养汽车可以节省汽车的燃油，故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“If you can’t avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable products, such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally.(如果你不能避免坐飞机，你可以通过向可持续产品捐款来offset这些影响，比如向农村家庭提供高效炉灶，或者帮助农民环保处理作物废弃物的项目)”可知，这里是在建议用高效节能的方法来抵消因坐飞机而产生的碳足迹，故划线词offset的意思应该是“抵消，弥补”。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of green-house gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much, and how often, you travel.(交通运输产生的二氧化碳排放现在被认为是温室气体的首要来源。减少碳足迹的最有效方法之一是重新考虑你旅行的次数和频率)”以及文章主要讲述如何选择适当的出行方式来降低运输过程中的碳足迹。因此推断D项“降低交通运输中的碳足迹”为最佳标题。故选D。

A national engineering laboratory in Tianjin is the base of the world’s largest and most advanced sound source identification system for commercial use. At first glance, the equipment, known as a sound camera and consisting of a big wheel with a supporting frame, resembles a mini Ferris wheel that lacks seats and cannot rotate. A closer look at the 5-meter-diameter wheel reveals high-tech features like an array of 144 sensors (传感器) used to capture, identify and analyze the source of noise on railways. “It is like a sound radar (雷达) for discovering noise,” said Hu Wenlin, vice head of the National Engineering Laboratory for Noise Control and Reduction at China Railway Design Corporation.
Hu said that the data produced by the machine allows engineers to better understand the sounds generated when a train passes by, such as which part produces the most noise. After analyzing the data, engineers can draw up precise plans to reduce noise and make construction plans accordingly. For example, if a railway passes a residential area with stricter noise abatement requirements, engineers can come up with a plan to minimize noise, usually at greater expense. But if a railway passes a place with more relaxed noise control requirements, designers can make a cheaper plan.
Noise control technologies have been applied to dozens of major railway projects across the country. The sound camera, fully developed in China, is advanced by world standards, said Wang Changjin, the director of the National Engineering Laboratory. Before the sound camera was available, engineers usually used a pole fitted with sensors to collect sound data along railway lines. “It cannot be compared to the technique we are using now, which is far more accurate,” Wang said.
The machine is just one of many innovations developed by the laboratory. It has conducted many research projects on railways, leading to the development of key noise control equipment for high-speed railways and bringing quieter lives to people living near the lines.
12. What can we know about the sound camera from paragraph 1
A. It is invented by Hu Wenlin. B. It is a sound radar in the shape of a wheel.
C. It is fitted with many sensors to study noise. D. It transforms sound information into images.
13. What does the underlined word “abatement” probably mean
A. Monitoring. B. Ranking. C. Reducing. D. Analyzing.
14. What highlights the sound camera according to paragraph 3
A. It is very easy to move. B. It consumes little energy.
C. It is available for everyone. D. It operates far more precisely.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Technology Frees People from Noise B. Sound Camera Makes Rail Lines Quieter
C. The Importance of Conducting Sound Research D. The Influence of Noise Pollution on People’s Life
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B

47. 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。
My father asked me to chat with him for a while. Actually, I was unwilling to listen to his talking endlessly as he always did. My father was a lawyer, but I never wanted to go to law school or follow his path through life.
As was expected, he cleared his throat and started to say, “Er... What... What do you really want to do in the gorgeous(灿烂的) future ”
I was silent for a moment playing with the cell phone. I kept thinking, “Should I tell him my true thoughts What if he gets angry What if I let him down ” later I replied, “Well, I want to be a writer.”
I guessed this may be not the answer he would expect. But surprisingly, “Interesting idea!” he answered. I was shocked, speaking in a low voice with hesitation.
“Are you serious, dad ”
“Well, you need confidence and good preparations, and you still have plenty of time. You need to find out what you really enjoy now. Look, it’s late. Let’s take the boat out tomorrow morning, just you and me. Maybe we can catch some crabs (螃蟹) for dinner, and we can talk more.”
Early next morning we packed up the equipment and set off for the coast. We didn’t talk much, but enjoyed the sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline.
There were no big waves and blinding sunlight at that time. “Let’s see if we are lucky,” he said, picked up a web basket with a rope tied and threw it into the sea. We waited a while, then my father stood up and said, “Give me a hand with this,” and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck.
To our joy, the cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs. Squatting (蹲) down, we watched them for a moment. At first they fought against each other to climb out hard, trying to escape. Many were pulled back into the cage. Later, some gave up, but there were still some crabs trying to escape again and again.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

At that moment, my father pointed to the cage, “Look at that crab, there!”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At that moment my father pointed to the cage, “Look at that crab, there!” Staring at the crab, I found that every time he wanted to escape, he was pulled back into the cage. However, he didn't give up his fight. Fortunately, he survived from the struggle eventually. Shocked and amazed, I suddenly understood why my father had suggested catching crabs that morning. I thought the future would be filled with many possibilities. Everyone would need to find out what he enjoyed and held on to it.
From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true. Besides my devotion to school work, I spent all my spare time making full preparations for becoming a writer. Reading, collecting materials and writing made my life busy but fulfilled, which laid a good foundation for me. Meanwhile, I contributed to literature journals. Gradually, some achievements as a writer increased my confidence. I always think of the crab whenever faced with difficulties. What my father said also encouraged me on my way to success. Now I am grateful for sticking to the thing I truly dreamed of.
