Nate had spent most of his seventy years in the woods. As a young man, he had the alternative of working in the city with his brother. But he decided that urban life was not for him.
He preferred to isolate himself from others and find shelter in nature from the crowds and noise of
the city. He was more than willing to give up such advantages as flush toilets and electric blankets
for the joy of watching a sunrise illuminate the frozen pines.
Because Nate had lived alone for so long, his behavior was unpredictable. For example, one
minute he’d be very quiet, and the next he’d talk about his youth. His knowledge of nature was
extensive, and so I learned much from him through the years.
I will tell you an interesting story that shows how wise he was about the woods and how
miserly (吝啬的) he could be with words. One evening Nate, my cousin Arthur, and I were
crossing a grassland. Arthur’s interest in some little white mushrooms that were growing there led
to this dialogue:
“These mushrooms look so good,” said Arthur. “Did you ever use them, Nate ”
“Yep,” said Nate. “My mom used to cook them up.”
“Great!” said Arthur. Nate’s words seemed to strengthen Arthur s desire for those mushrooms. He gathered about a hundred of them. “How did she prepare them ” he asked Nate.
“Cooked them up in sugar water.”
“Really And then you ate them that way ”
{#{QQAB}“Ate them ” Nate was horrified. “You crazy We used to put them in a bowl on the table to
kill flies!”
24．Which can make Nate happier
A．Working in the city. B．Quitting flush toilets.
C．Using electric blankets. D．Enjoying sunrises in the woods.
25．Nate is a man with ________.
A．ambition B．courage C．knowledge D．imagination
26．What do we know about the white mushrooms
A．They were delicious. B．Nate ate them very often.
C．They might be poisonous. D．Arthur’s mother used to cook them.
27．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Far From Nature B．White Mushrooms
C．Nate the Woodsman D．Advantages of Urban Life
C
Over the next 20 years, we are going to send more and better robots to Mars. Those robots
will send back better pictures, maps, samples, and weather reports. There is a limit to what robots
can tell us, though, so eventually we will have to send people to study the planet. Before people
can visit Mars, we need to invent a spaceship that can take us there. Mars is very far away.
Depending on where Mars and Earth are in their orbits (轨道) around the sun, it could take
between six months to a year to get there.
The moon is much closer, and we were there 25 years ago. Over the next 10 years, we are
going to work on building a new spacecraft that can go to the moon. Using this craft, we will
practise the skills we need to go to Mars.
Once we get to the moon, we are going to build a station so that people can live and work on
the moon for months at a time. This is important so that we have a place to start from when we
want to visit Mars, but it is also important because it gives us practice with living away from
Earth.
By the time you are old enough to be an astronaut, we will have people spending months on
the moon. By the time you are old enough to be a commander of a space mission we will be taking
trips to Mars. By the time your kids are old enough to be astronauts, we may have people living on
Mars. Wouldn’t it be cool to get a postcard from someone who was building a house on Mars
Wouldn’t it be cooler if it was you who sent the postcard
28.We eventually have to send people to Mars because .
A. the pictures that robots have sent back are not very clear
B. robots can’t tell us all we want to know
C. robots are controlled by us humans
D. the samples robots have sent back are not good enough
29.From the first paragraph we can see the distance between Earth and Mars .
A.is not always the same B.is nearly the same
C.is unchangeable D. never changes very much
30.A space station on the moon is important because .
A. people can learn to adapt to living on other planets
B. people can practise planting crops in it
C. the new spacecraft can only land in it
D. astronauts can practise skills they need to go to Mars
31.The author of the passage .
A. thinks that trips to the moon are an unrealistic dream
B. encourages kids to be astronauts
C. hopes to receive a postcard from Mars
D. is sure people’s dream of living on Mars will come true
D
The situation of the world’s plants is not good. One fifth of the kinds of plants are in danger
of disappearing, according to a report.
“Plants are very vital to human beings, “said Kathy Willis, who led the new report. “Plants
provide us with everything—food, fuel, medicine, and they are very important for our climate
controlling. Without plants we would not be here.”
The good news is that deforestation rates(森林砍伐率) around the world have dropped
largely since the 1950s.However, this report on the health of plants around the world shows that
there is much more to be done.
The report predicts that there are now 390,900 kinds of plants. And about 21 percent of those
plants are in danger of disappearing. “The good side is that we’re still discovering lots of new
plants, about 2,000 each year,” said Dr Willis. “The bad side is that we’ve seen a huge change in
land cover, mainly caused by cultural activity, with a little bit of climate change in there as well.”
Human activity has a great effect on the danger of plants disappearing. As humans cut down
forests to make room for agriculture(农业),and towns and cities, biodiversity(生物多样性) is lost.
This could not only affect our own food supply directly, but also it could affect the food web.
32. What does the underlined word “vital” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Useless. B. Friendly. C. Equal. D. Important.
33. Which of the following does Dr Willis agree with
A. New plants are more than ever before.
B. About half the plants will disappear soon.
C. Many new plants are found every year.
D. Plants mustn’t be used to produce medicine.
34. What do we learn from the third paragraph
A. We have made little progress. B. There is a long way for us to go.
C. We have achieved our goal. D. There will be nothing we can do.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Biodiversity Being Lost B. Human Social Activity
C. Environment Protection D. Nature Climate Change

Patrick Modiano, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2014,seems less-known
among general Chinese readers.
In Dong Qiang’s opinion, a professor at Peking University, Modiano has been a celebrated
writer in France ever since. 36 What surprised him was that a French writer was awarded the
Nobel Prize, since it was only six years ago that another French writer, Le Clezio, took the prize.
Born in a western Paris suburb in July 1945—two months after World War Ⅱ ended in
Europe—Modiano spent most of his life in France and studied in Paris, the top preparatory school
in France. Raymond Queneau, a writer, was one of his teachers there. 37
In the first interview Modiano gave after winning the Nobel, he explained that writing for
him was a natural thing that he started quite young,“ 38 ”
Modiano has published about 30 works, including novels, film scripts and children’s books,
since his first book, La Place de l’Etoile, in 1968.Modiano’s works focus on the occupation of
France during World War Ⅱ. 39
Jin Longge, who has translated three books by Modiano into Chinese, says,“ 40 But they
are not detective novels, because the answers to the riddles set out in his novels usually remain
untold and the reader is left to find his own answers.”
A. He had a major influence on him.
B. His works read like detective novels.
C. It was not a surprise that he won the prize.
D. It’s something that’s been part of my life.
E. They will be published in the coming months.
F. They invite readers to seek identity through memory and history.
G. Many of his readers came to know of him and started to read his works.

第二节(满分 25 分)
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her
heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support
her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and
volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she
made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said,
“My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down
Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her.
Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.
