Here are 4 books you should read at least once in your life.
Number the Stars by Lois
It tells the story of a Danish girl growing up in World War II with her best friend, Ellen, who happens to be Jewish. When she learns about the horrors that the Nazis are imposing on the Jewish people, she and her family stop at nothing to protect Ellen and countless other Jews. Lois’ novel is a powerful reminder that cultural and religious differences are no divide between true friends.
The Little Prince by Antoine
It is the story of a little boy who falls to Earth from an Asteroid (小行星) after visiting several other asteroids to try to understand mankind. In his travels he meets a series of strange and delightful characters and an untamed fox. The Little Prince is a heartwarming tale of the power of friendship and trust.
Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White
Who doesn’t love a novel about talking animals It opens the door to imagination, asking us to imagine what a world where animals could talk would be like. On a more serious note, it challenges us to ask ourselves how we’d treat animals if they could talk. If they could tell us their joys and their fears, would mankind treat them more humanely
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The story centers on Jean Louise Finch, an unusually intelligent girl who ages from six to nine years old during the novel. Her father, Atticus Finch, a well-known and respected lawyer, defends Tom Robinson, an African American who is falsely accused of killing a young white woman. It is both a young girl’s coming-of-age story and a darker drama about the roots and consequences of racism and prejudice in society.
1. What do the two books Number the Stars and The Little Prince both involve
A. History. B. Travel. C. Friendship. D. Family.
2. What kind of book is Charlotte’s Web

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本一生至少要读一次的书。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Number the Stars by Lois中“Lois’ novel is a powerful reminder that cultural and religious differences are no divide between true friends. (Lois的小说有力地提醒我们，文化和宗教的差异并不能区分真正的朋友)”和The Little Prince by Antoine中“The Little Prince is a heartwarming tale of the power of friendship and trust. (《小王子》是一个关于友谊和信任的力量的暖心故事)”可知，《数星星》和《小王子》都涉及了友谊。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White中“Who doesn’t love a novel about talking animals It opens the door to imagination, asking us to imagine what a world where animals could talk would be like. (谁不喜欢会说话的动物的小说呢？它打开了想象的大门，让我们想象一个动物会说话的世界会是什么样子的)”可知，小说《夏洛的网》用想象力描绘了一个动物会说话的世界，因此是一本童话故事书。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee中“It is both a young girl’s coming-of-age story and a darker drama about the roots and consequences of racism and prejudice in society. (这既是一个小女孩的成长故事，也是一部关于社会中种族主义和偏见的根源和后果的黑暗戏剧)”可知，《杀死一只知更鸟》揭示了社会中种族主义和偏见的根源和后果，因此它探究的主题是社会问题。故选D项。
B
The Great Library of Alexandria was a marvel of ancient Egypt. Founded during the Hellenistic period, sometime between 324 and 246 BCE, the Library was reportedly an architectural wonder. More importantly, the Library housed a vast collection of works from all across the ancient world and was a major center of scholarship. The Library shouldered the mission of collecting all of the world’s books, and employed numerous methods to acquire(获得)new works. A well-funded acquisitions department searched the book fairs of Rhodes and Athens, buying individual texts or even whole libraries. Ships that landed at the harbor of Alexandria were searched for books to add to the Library’s collection. The Library also employed a number of scholars who produced original works on subjects such as astronomy, mathematics, and physics.
In addition to collecting books and conducting research, the writers and scholars of the Great Library translated texts from around the world into Greek and collected authoritative versions from different translations. Some of the first translations of Biblical(《圣经》中的)texts into Greek may have occurred at the Library in the time of Ptolemy I. Much work was done to compile(编写)and edit authoritative versions of the Homeric myths for which the Greeks are so well known today, and these were only a few of the great works of translation and editing that took place in Alexandria in the Hellenistic period.
It is ironic that the fate of the Great Library—an institution committed to the collection and preservation of knowledge—is hidden in myth and mystery. Many sources say the Library burned down, but the date is uncertain. It may have burned down more than once, either by accident, or intentionally. Smaller sister institutions may have survived the original library, to be destroyed later.
The Great Library, or some version of it, could have survived for anywhere from 300 to 1, 000 years. However it ended, there can be little doubt that the scholarship of The Great Library had a great and lasting impact on history, and the works that were kept, translated, or created there have had a profound influence on our culture even to the present day.
4. How did they get so many books for the library
A. By sending the ships to search for books.
B. By translating Greek books into English.
C. By searching book fairs around the world.
D. By writing books related to certain topics.
5. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ironic” in paragraph 3
A. Wonderful. B. Typical. C. Strange. D. Intentional.
6. According to the last two paragraphs, which is certain to be true about the Great Library
A. It survived for 1,000 years. B. It had a hidden collection of works.
C. It burned down on many occasions. D. It has had a great cultural influence.
7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce some information about a historic library.
B. To report the role of great libraries throughout history.
C. To compare versions of the Great Library’s destruction.
D. To explain the importance of rebuilding the Great Library.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了the Great Library曾经的辉煌历史和它的神秘消失。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The Library also employed a number of scholars who produced original works on subjects such as astronomy, mathematics, and physics.(图书馆还聘请了一些学者，他们在天文学、数学和物理学等学科上创作了原创作品)”可知，他们通过聘请学者创作与某些主题相关的书为图书馆收集了很多书。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“that the fate of the Great Library—an institution committed to the collection and preservation of knowledge—is hidden in myth and mystery. (大图书馆的命运—一个致力于收集和保存知识的机构——的命运隐藏在神话和神秘之中。)”可知，这样一个致力于收藏和保存知识的大图书馆。它的命运仍然是一个谜，这件事很奇怪。设空处和C项：Strange(奇怪的)含义相近。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However it ended, there can be little doubt that the scholarship of The Great Library had a great and lasting impact on history, and the works that were kept, translated, or created there have had a profound influence on our culture even to the present day.(不管它的结局如何，毫无疑问，大图书馆的学术研究对历史产生了巨大而持久的影响，在那里保存、翻译或创作的作品对我们的文化产生了深远的影响，甚至直到今天)”可知，大图书馆有很大的文化影响。故选D。
7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The Great Library, or some version of it, could have survived for anywhere from 300 to 1, 000 years.

C
There are many differences in ways of thinking between East and West. Many of them are reflected in daily behaviour. In particular, Chinese people sometimes attach more importance to their appearance and social status than to their inner qualities, while Westerners think the opposite. However, Socrates (Ancient Greek philosopher) and Confucius share significant similarities that are universal.
Both philosophers share several teachings in common; for example, their understanding of the nature of knowledge and their opinions on education. Socrates believed “There is only one good, knowledge;and only one evil, ignorance.” Similarly, Confucius said, “Isn’t it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned ” But both also acknowledge the limits of knowledge. Socrates said: “All I know is that I know nothing.” Similarly, Confucius said, “When you know a thing, to hold you know it; when you don’t know a thing, to allow you don’t know it-this is knowledge.”
However, there are important differences in their understanding of morality. Confucius believed each person should follow certain regulations according to virtue(德行). Everyone should play their role in a society where people are interdependent in order to achieve harmony in the whole society. For instance, when asked how to govern a country, Confucius stated “An emperor should act like an emperor, a subject should act like a subject.” Socrates, however, places self-knowledge over social knowledge.
Another difference between them is their attitude towards political domination(支配). Confucius believed the best way to govern a country isn’t through legal system, but through virtue. Socrates, by contrast, declared that “nothing is more important than justice”.
Why have East and West developed such different cultural values A widely accepted theory holds that Eastern civilization was an agricultural civilization. Hence the need for a collective society and friendly relations with neighbors was strong. Western civilization, however, was nomadic(游牧的). Their mobility makes them less dependent on society after migration.
In spite of their differences, the two cultures have more in common than differences. The shared concern for moral values in the teachings of Socrates and Confucius also shows us more fundamental similarities between Eastern and Western cultures in their pursuit of virtuous lives.
8. What do the two philosophers share about knowledge
A. The learning of knowledge is easy. B. The learning of knowledge is endless.
C. A man without knowledge is foolish. D. A man shall not pretend to understand.
9. Which of the following reflects the thoughts of Confucius in terms of morality
A. Nothing is more important than a legal system.
B. I am not a Chinese, but a citizen of the world.
C. Not everyone should play his own role in society.
D. A man does what is proper to the position he is in.
10. What is the root cause of the differences between Eastern and Western cultural values
A. The difference in political atmosphere. B. The difference in the length of history.
C. The difference in economic development. D. The difference in levels of social dependency.
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. Reasons for similarities of Eastern and Western cultures.
B. The introduction of great figures of two different cultures.
C. Comparisons of the thoughts of the two great philosophers.
D. The contributions of two great philosophers to civilization.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文本主要在对比东西方两位哲学家思想的不同与共同之处。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“But both also acknowledge the limits of knowledge. Socrates said: “All I know is that I know nothing.” Similarly, Confucius said, “When you know a thing, to hold you know it; when you don’t know a thing, to allow you don’t know it-this is knowledge.”(但两者也都承认知识的局限性。苏格拉底说:“我所知道的就是我一无所知。”孔子也说过：“知其事，持其事；当你不知道一件事的时候，允许你不知道它——这就是知识。”)”可知，两个哲学家认为知识的学习是无止境的。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。从第三段的“Everyone should play their role in a society where people are interdependent in order to achieve harmony in the whole society. For instance, when asked how to govern a country, Confucius stated “An emperor should act like an emperor, a subject should act like a subject.”(每个人都应该在人与人相互依存的社会中发挥自己的作用，以实现整个社会的和谐。例如，当被问及如何治理一个国家时，孔子说:“皇帝应该像皇帝一样，臣民应该像臣民一样。”)”可知，孔子的思想即“君君臣臣，父父子子”，每个人根据自己所处的位置扮演好自己的角色。D项“A man does what is proper to the position he is in.(一个人会做与他所处的地位相称的事。)”合乎题意。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Why have East and West developed such different cultural values A widely accepted theory holds that Eastern civilization was an agricultural civilization. Hence the need for a collective society and friendly relations with neighbors was strong. Western civilization, however, was nomadic(游牧的). Their mobility makes them less dependent on society after migration.(为什么东西方发展出如此不同的文化价值观 一个广为接受的理论认为东方文明是一种农业文明。因此，建立集体社会和与邻国建立友好关系的必要性非常强烈。然而，西方文明是游牧文明。他们的流动性使他们在移民后对社会的依赖程度降低。)”可知，东西方价值观的差异最本质的原因是社会依赖程度的不同。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“There are many differences in ways of thinking between East and West. Many of them are reflected in daily behaviour.(东西方在思维方式上有许多不同之处。其中许多都反映在日常行为中)”以及文章的最后一段“In spite of their differences, the two cultures have more in common than differences. The shared concern for moral values in the teachings of Socrates and Confucius also shows us more fundamental similarities between Eastern and Western cultures in their pursuit of virtuous lives.(尽管存在差异，但这两种文化的共同点多于不同点。苏格拉底和孔子的教义中对道德价值的共同关注也向我们展示了东西方文化在追求美德生活方面的更多基本相似之处。)”以及全文可知，文本主要在对比东西方两位哲学家思想的不同与共同之处。故选C。
D
You have probably eaten a hot dog, but have you ever spotted a sundog This isn’t your pet dog napping in the sun!
A sundog is a weather event that causes two bright bursts of rainbow colored light to appear on either side of the sun. You would see them around 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock. Sundogs can be very beautiful, with a red glow closest to the sun and a white in the center. The scientific name for sundogs is parhelia, which comes from a Greek word meaning “beside the sun”.
Conditions need to be just right for sundogs to appear. Sunlight passes through high clouds that spread out like feathers in front of the sun. These clouds contain flat, six-sided ice crystals (晶体). If the crystal drifts toward the ground, with the larger face facing the Earth, light is refracted (折射). These crystals then separate the light, forming a sundog.
Sundogs can be seen during any season but are most often seen during the winter months when the sun is lower in the sky. You are also more likely to see them early or late in the day, when the sun is near the horizon. Sundogs have been spotted around the world, across North America, Europe, and Asia, at the South Pole and in the far north. Scientists have even predicted what sundogs might look like on other planets.
Throughout history, sundogs have been used to predict weather because they indicate snow or rain on its way. Some people believed that sundogs were a sign of good luck, while others saw them as a warning from God. Shakespeare described sundogs in poems as frightening.
Ready to try out your weather detective skills First, use your hand to block the center of the sun to protect your eyes. Search for clouds in a winter sky and a circle or burst of light around the sun. Be sure to show off your sundog smarts to your friends and family — you’ll be their top dog!
12. What can be inferred about a sundog from the passage
A. It leads the sun to produce crystals. B. It forms under strict circumstances.
C. It causes the appearance of rainbow. D. It separates the sun from high clouds.
13. Which of the following conditions is most suitable for observing a sundog
A. One summer midday in China. B. One late winter night in America.
C. One winter morning in Europe. D. One summer morning in the Arctic.
14. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the 5th paragraph
A. To convince readers of the beauty of sundogs.
B. To illustrate the wide range of topics of his poems.
C. To help readers understand the function of sundogs.
D. To show impressions of sundogs vary among viewers.
15. What tone does the writer use in the last paragraph
A. Confident. B. Encouraging. C. Worried. D. Fearful.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幻日这种罕见的大气光学现象，包括其形成原理和形成条件等信息。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Conditions need to be just right for sundogs to appear. Sunlight passes through high clouds that spread out like feathers in front of the sun. These clouds contain flat, six-sided ice crystals (晶体). If the crystal drifts toward the ground, with the larger face facing the Earth, light is refracted (折射). These crystals then separate the light, forming a sundog. (幻日出现的条件需要恰到好处。阳光穿过像羽毛一样在太阳前面展开的高云。这些云包含扁平的六面体冰晶。如果晶体向地面漂移，较大的面朝向地球，光就会折射。然后，这些晶体将光分离，形成一个幻日)”可知，幻日只有在阳光、云层、晶体的移动等条件都恰到好处的时候才会出现。由此可知，它的形成条件很严格。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Sundogs can be seen during any season but are most often seen during the winter months when the sun is lower in the sky. You are also more likely to see them early or late in the day, when the sun is near the horizon. Sundogs have been spotted around the world, across North America, Europe, and Asia, at the South Pole and in the far north. (在任何季节都可以看到幻日，但最常见的是在太阳位置较低的冬季。当太阳接近地平线时，你也更有可能在一天的早些时候或晚些时候看到它们。在北美、欧洲和亚洲，在南极和遥远的北方，人们在世界各地都能看到幻日)”可知，适宜观测幻日的季节是冬季，时间是一天中的早晨或傍晚，且在世界各地都可以观测到。结合选项可知，欧洲一个冬天的早晨是最有可能观测到幻日的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Throughout history, sundogs have been used to predict weather because they indicate snow or rain on its way. Some people believed that sundogs were a sign of good luck, while others saw them as a warning from God. Shakespeare described sundogs in poems as frightening. (纵观历史，幻日一直被用来预测天气，因为它们预示着即将下雪或下雨。一些人认为幻日是好运的象征，而另一些人则认为它们是来自上帝的警告。莎士比亚在诗中形容幻日令人恐惧)”可知，本段是从不同观测者的角度描述幻日对他们的用处或意义，包括预测天气的功能，好运或警告的象征意义。由此推知，此处提到莎士比亚认为它令人恐惧，是进一步表明观测者对幻日的印象各不相同。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ready to try out your weather detective skills First, use your hand to block the center of the sun to protect your eyes. Search for clouds in a winter sky and a circle or burst of light around the sun. Be sure to show off your sundog smarts to your friends and family — you’ll be their top dog! (准备好试试你的天气侦探技巧了吗？首先，用你的手挡住太阳的中心来保护你的眼睛。在冬天的天空中寻找云，在太阳周围寻找一圈或一束光。一定要向你的朋友和家人展示你的聪明才智——你会成为他们的头儿)”可知，本段中作者在鼓励读者利用文中学到的有关幻日的知识去观测这一现象，向身边的人展示自己的聪明才智。由此可知，作者的整体语调是鼓舞人心的。故选B项。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A man’s voice came suddenly from the loud speakers: “Participants in the Five-Mile Junior Fat-Tire Race, please gather behind the orange flags.”
Hannah was very excited. First prize was a blue mountain bike. On such a bike, she’d fly through the woods.
“Good luck, junior mountain bikers,” the loud-speaker voice came again. “Three, two, one, and go!”
The lead-out was a girl with red braids(辫子). She pedaled off hard down the dirt road. The racers followed behind.
The girl with red braids made a turn onto a part of single track and gathered speed. Hannah pulled up behind her, who sped up again. Hannah followed close behind her.
Hannah watched for the orange arrows(箭头)marking the course and biked through the muddy fields. At the edge of the forest, the girl was kneeling(跪)by her bike. She must have gotten a flat tire. Hannah biked faster. She wiped the sweat from her eyes, breathless. Now Hannah was close enough to see the girl putting the chain on the chain ring.
Hannah felt a jolt of energy as she passed the girl into the woods. Maybe she could win.
In the middle of a small meadow, Hannah looked back. The girl was coming up behind her at a fast speed.
Hannah entered the woods again. At a fork(岔口)in the trail, to her left, was the sign with the orange arrow. When she turned, her foot slipped off the pedal, and she accidentally kicked the sign over.
I need to stop and fix the sign, she thought. The other racers might get lost. But even as she was thinking this, her feet kept moving faster, faster.
“Hannah Anderson, winner of the Five-Mile Junior Fat-Tire Race!” a voice announced as she passed the finish line.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Hey! Hannah turned and saw the girl with the braids jumping off her bike. “Good job,” the girl called to Hannah panting. “I thought I almost had you. but I must have missed a trail marker.” “You would have won if it hadn’t been for your bike chain and getting lost” Hannah mumbled. The girl was smiling, saying it was all part of racing. Hannah swallowed hard. The girl’s bike was rusty. No wonder her chain had jumped. Leading her new bike away after the award ceremony, Hannah felt like crying. She looked around for the girl with the braids and found her by the water stand.
Looking at the new mountain bike. Hannah made a decision. “I accidently kicked the sign over.” Hanna said softly. The girl was quiet. “You know, at the fork in the trail. I tipped the sign,” Hannah said, a little louder. As she handed over the bike to the shocked girl, Hannah felt the lump in her throat disappear. “Are you sure... ” the girl asked. Hannah nodded. She was never so sure that she was doing the right thing in her life. The girl was beaming now, her finger moving along the shiny blue frame. Excited and earnest, she invited hannah to race in Copper Harbor taking place the next weekend. Hannah grinned, “Yes. Let’s see who wins then. Fair and square.”

The Great Library of Alexandria was a marvel of ancient Egypt. Founded during the Hellenistic period, sometime between 324 and 246 BCE, the Library was reportedly an architectural wonder. More importantly, the Library housed a vast collection of works from all across the ancient world and was a major center of scholarship. The Library shouldered the mission of collecting all of the world’s books, and employed numerous methods to acquire(获得)new works. A well-funded acquisitions department searched the book fairs of Rhodes and Athens, buying individual texts or even whole libraries. Ships that landed at the harbor of Alexandria were searched for books to add to the Library’s collection. The Library also employed a number of scholars who produced original works on subjects such as astronomy, mathematics, and physics.
In addition to collecting books and conducting research, the writers and scholars of the Great Library translated texts from around the world into Greek and collected authoritative versions from different translations. Some of the first translations of Biblical(《圣经》中的)texts into Greek may have occurred at the Library in the time of Ptolemy I. Much work was done to compile(编写)and edit authoritative versions of the Homeric myths for which the Greeks are so well known today, and these were only a few of the great works of translation and editing that took place in Alexandria in the Hellenistic period.
It is ironic that the fate of the Great Library—an institution committed to the collection and preservation of knowledge—is hidden in myth and mystery. Many sources say the Library burned down, but the date is uncertain. It may have burned down more than once, either by accident, or intentionally. Smaller sister institutions may have survived the original library, to be destroyed later.
The Great Library, or some version of it, could have survived for anywhere from 300 to 1, 000 years. However it ended, there can be little doubt that the scholarship of The Great Library had a great and lasting impact on history, and the works that were kept, translated, or created there have had a profound influence on our culture even to the present day.
4. How did they get so many books for the library
A. By sending the ships to search for books.
B. By translating Greek books into English.
C. By searching book fairs around the world.
D. By writing books related to certain topics.
5. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ironic” in paragraph 3
A. Wonderful. B. Typical. C. Strange. D. Intentional.
6. According to the last two paragraphs, which is certain to be true about the Great Library
A. It survived for 1,000 years. B. It had a hidden collection of works.
C. It burned down on many occasions. D. It has had a great cultural influence.
7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce some information about a historic library.
B. To report the role of great libraries throughout history.
C. To compare versions of the Great Library’s destruction.

There are many differences in ways of thinking between East and West. Many of them are reflected in daily behaviour. In particular, Chinese people sometimes attach more importance to their appearance and social status than to their inner qualities, while Westerners think the opposite. However, Socrates (Ancient Greek philosopher) and Confucius share significant similarities that are universal.
Both philosophers share several teachings in common; for example, their understanding of the nature of knowledge and their opinions on education. Socrates believed “There is only one good, knowledge;and only one evil, ignorance.” Similarly, Confucius said, “Isn’t it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned ” But both also acknowledge the limits of knowledge. Socrates said: “All I know is that I know nothing.” Similarly, Confucius said, “When you know a thing, to hold you know it; when you don’t know a thing, to allow you don’t know it-this is knowledge.”
However, there are important differences in their understanding of morality. Confucius believed each person should follow certain regulations according to virtue(德行). Everyone should play their role in a society where people are interdependent in order to achieve harmony in the whole society. For instance, when asked how to govern a country, Confucius stated “An emperor should act like an emperor, a subject should act like a subject.” Socrates, however, places self-knowledge over social knowledge.
Another difference between them is their attitude towards political domination(支配). Confucius believed the best way to govern a country isn’t through legal system, but through virtue. Socrates, by contrast, declared that “nothing is more important than justice”.
Why have East and West developed such different cultural values A widely accepted theory holds that Eastern civilization was an agricultural civilization. Hence the need for a collective society and friendly relations with neighbors was strong. Western civilization, however, was nomadic(游牧). Their mobility makes them less dependent on society after migration.
In spite of their differences, the two cultures have more in common than differences. The shared concern for moral values in the teachings of Socrates and Confucius also shows us more fundamental similarities between Eastern and Western cultures in their pursuit of virtuous lives.

You have probably eaten a hot dog, but have you ever spotted a sundog This isn’t your pet dog napping in the sun!
A sundog is a weather event that causes two bright bursts of rainbow colored light to appear on either side of the sun. You would see them around 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock. Sundogs can be very beautiful, with a red glow closest to the sun and a white in the center. The scientific name for sundogs is parhelia, which comes from a Greek word meaning “beside the sun”.
Conditions need to be just right for sundogs to appear. Sunlight passes through high clouds that spread out like feathers in front of the sun. These clouds contain flat, six-sided ice crystals (晶体). If the crystal drifts toward the ground, with the larger face facing the Earth, light is refracted (折射). These crystals then separate the light, forming a sundog.
Sundogs can be seen during any season but are most often seen during the winter months when the sun is lower in the sky. You are also more likely to see them early or late in the day, when the sun is near the horizon. Sundogs have been spotted around the world, across North America, Europe, and Asia, at the South Pole and in the far north. Scientists have even predicted what sundogs might look like on other planets.
Throughout history, sundogs have been used to predict weather because they indicate snow or rain on its way. Some people believed that sundogs were a sign of good luck, while others saw them as a warning from God. Shakespeare described sundogs in poems as frightening.
Ready to try out your weather detective skills First, use your hand to block the center of the sun to protect your eyes. Search for clouds in a winter sky and a circle or burst of light around the sun. Be sure to show off your sundog smarts to your friends and family — you’ll be their top dog!
12. What can be inferred about a sundog from the passage
A. It leads the sun to produce crystals. B. It forms under strict circumstances.
C. It causes the appearance of rainbow. D. It separates the sun from high clouds.
13. Which of the following conditions is most suitable for observing a sundog
A. One summer midday in China. B. One late winter night in America.
C. One winter morning in Europe. D. One summer morning in the Arctic.
14. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the 5th paragraph
A. To convince readers of the beauty of sundogs.
B. To illustrate the wide range of topics of his poems.
C. To help readers understand the function of sundogs.
D. To show impressions of sundogs vary among viewers.
15. What tone does the writer use in the last paragraph
A. Confident. B. Encouraging. C. Worried. D. Fearful.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A man’s voice came suddenly from the loud speakers: “Participants in the Five-Mile Junior Fat-Tire Race, please gather behind the orange flags.”
Hannah was very excited. First prize was a blue mountain bike. On such a bike, she’d fly through the woods.
“Good luck, junior mountain bikers,” the loud-speaker voice came again. “Three, two, one, and go!”
The lead-out was a girl with red braids(辫子). She pedaled off hard down the dirt road. The racers followed behind.
The girl with red braids made a turn onto a part of single track and gathered speed. Hannah pulled up behind her, who sped up again. Hannah followed close behind her.
Hannah watched for the orange arrows(箭头)marking the course and biked through the muddy fields. At the edge of the forest, the girl was kneeling(跪)by her bike. She must have gotten a flat tire. Hannah biked faster. She wiped the sweat from her eyes, breathless. Now Hannah was close enough to see the girl putting the chain on the chain ring.
Hannah felt a jolt of energy as she passed the girl into the woods. Maybe she could win.
In the middle of a small meadow, Hannah looked back. The girl was coming up behind her at a fast speed.
Hannah entered the woods again. At a fork(岔口)in the trail, to her left, was the sign with the orange arrow. When she turned, her foot slipped off the pedal, and she accidentally kicked the sign over.
I need to stop and fix the sign, she thought. The other racers might get lost. But even as she was thinking this, her feet kept moving faster, faster.
“Hannah Anderson, winner of the Five-Mile Junior Fat-Tire Race!” a voice announced as she passed the finish line.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
