Like many couples,Sheila and David Hoffman enjoy travelling.Since 2000,they’ve often visited relatives in Australia and enjoyed holidays in many European countries including France,Germany,Italy,and Greece.And they’ve toured around America,but they haven’t once stayed in a hotel.The Hoffmans are part of a growing number of people who use their homes as a way to have inexpensive holidays.So far,they’ve swapped their three-bedroom London home with people who want to stay there for anything from a week to two months.
In a home swap,you offer your house as a place to stay and anyone who’s interested gets in touch.If your dates and requirements fit,then you make a deal to exchange houses for an agreed time.The exchange can involve more than just a place to stay—some homeowners also exchange cars and others will arrange for a friend or neighbour to be on call in case of emergencies.Some exchangers will even organise restaurant bookings and trips.
Home swaps have existed in Britain on an organised basis for decades but they really took off with the arrival of the Internet.Previously,the process was long and drawn-out,involving letter exchanges and expensive international calls to complete arrangements.Now,it can all be done with a few clicks.Most home-exchangers register(注册) with a specialist home-exchange company that deals with the organisation.
More people are using their homes as a way to enjoy holidays at home as well as abroad.Most of them choose to follow the trend because they are interested in how natives lead their lives.When you live in a typical home rather than a hotel,it’s almost like an exchange of lifestyles.It’s also a cheap way to travel making sure you won’t run short of money on your journey.
24.Where do Sheila and David Hoffman live
A.In Australia. B.In the US.
C.In the UK. D.In France.
25.Which word can be used to describe some homeowners mentioned in paragraph 2
A.Smart. B.Strict. C.Humorous. D.Thoughtful.
26.What can we know about the home-exchange process in the past
A.It caused many problems. B.It saved a lot of time.
C.It was well-organised. D.It was complicated.
27.What is the main reason for more people swapping their homes
A.They hope to experience life as the locals.
B.They are not used to staying in hotels.
C.They do not want to leave their houses unused.
D.They need to earn money from exchanging their homes.
C
Ask a classroom of children to draw a scientist,and you’ll see plenty of colored lab coats and glasses.The image(画像) hasn’t changed much since the 1960s,but the person wearing the lab coat is changing.
A new analysis finds that more female scientists have appeared in kids’ drawings in recent decades—going from nearly non-existent in the 1960s to about a third in 2016.
The first of many “draw-a-scientist” studies asked nearly 5,000 children to draw a scientist between 1966 and 1977.Of those 5,000 drawings,only 28 drew female scientists.That was just 0.56 percent.Today,female scientists are being presented more in the media.For example,in a content analysis,13 percent of people pictured in science feature stories of the 1960s were women or girls,compared with 44 percent in the 2000s.“That might really affect children’s idea of what a scientist should be like,” says Miller,a Ph.D.candidate in psychology.
To look for changes in children’s perception over time,the researchers conducted a meta-analysis,combining data from 78 studies that included a total of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten to the 12th grade.On average,28 percent of children drew female scientists in studies conducted from 1965 to 2016.
What hasn’t changed much:kids pick up stereotypes (模式化观念) of gender (性别) as they grow up.At age 6,about 70 percent of the girls in the more recent studies drew female scientists.By age 16,75 percent drew male scientists.This is an important period in which kids are learning stereotypes.It’s important that teachers and parents present diverse examples of both male and female scientists.
28.What’s the picture of scientists drawn by a 1960s’ kid like
A.A woman with long curly hair. B.A woman with lab glasses.
C.A woman in a formal lab suit. D.A man in a colored lab coat.
29.What may contribute to the changes in kids’ drawings
A.The improvement of women’s social status.
B.The kids are affected by teachers and parents.
C.More female scientists appear in the media.
D.The increasing number of female scientists.
30.What does the underlined word “perception” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A.Belief. B.Idea. C.Habit. D.Growth.
31.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .
A.it’s a stereotype that scientists are generally males
B.girls are more influenced by stereotypes than boys
C.some children are born with certain stereotypes
D.most children tend to prefer female scientists
D
“I absolutely knew that I could be a physician,” says Patrice Harris.“But never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be the president of the American Medical Association(AMA).” Harris is the first African American woman ever to be elected president of the AMA.
Harris grew up in a small town,and becoming a doctor felt like a dream for her.“Even though I knew I wanted to be a physician,” she said,“I had no idea how to get there.” Harris worked extremely hard to achieve her dream.She said,“In life,none of us can achieve success without any setback.What’s important is to learn from these challenges.” Harris completed her undergraduate and graduate studies at West Virginia University.When Harris was in her third year of medical school,she decided to specialize in psychiatry(精神病学),the study and treatment of mental illnesses.“Some of my patients had what I thought were very interesting disorders,” she said.“And there was something new every day.”
In 2007,Harris won the Psychiatrist of the Year Award and was widely recognized as a top doctor.But it is not awards,she said,but rather treating and caring for her patients that has motivated her throughout her career.“That interaction with my patients is very fulfilling,because every opportunity that I have to help a patient in need is so meaningful,and it shows me why I originally wanted to go into the profession of medicine,” Harris said.
As president,Harris hopes to make sure that people across the country have access to the resources they need to ensure good health and that everyone is on a path.She said,“Everyone should have the same opportunity to live a healthy life.”
32.What can we learn about Patrice Harris from paragraph 1
A.She is talented as a physician.
B.She is the first woman president of the AMA.
C.She had never intended to be president of the AMA.
D.She was ambitious and generous at a young age.
33.What can Harris owe her success to
A.Family’s support. B.Enough chances.
C.Learning from setbacks. D.Hard work and precise plans.
34.Which of the following best describes Harris as a psychiatrist
A.Worried. B.Devoted. C.Aggressive. D.Generous.
35.What does the underlined word “fulfilling” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Powerful. B.Encouraging. C.Disappointing. D.Rewarding.

Volunteering to take care of neighborhood pets is a great way for kids to learn responsibility.
Ideas for getting started
Have your kids make flyers (传单) to place around the neighborhood,showcasing their willingness to help out by caring for neighborhood pets. 36 Also encourage them to come up with their own ideas for flyers.
Helping out
Your children can volunteer for small pet-sitting jobs that are easy for both you and them to manage. 37 You can accompany your children,while also allowing them to take the leash (牵狗绳) and lead the way.
Learning opportunities
Offering activities,like animal caretaking,benefits little animals and your children at the same time. 38 For example,the tropical fish you are feeding for friends can offer a wonderful platform for researching their natural habitat.
Emotional benefits of animals
The benefits of interaction between children and animals go beyond the physical aspect,as well. 39 Children learn to make emotional connections through the love that animals provide.Having children care for pets also provides an opportunity to discuss emotions children often struggle to understand.
40 Offer positive affirmations (肯定) to your children to underline the additional exercise they are also enjoying from this responsibility,so they will also recognise that there is a healthy connection.When you praise your children’s willingness to take on this kind of new responsibility,you can be assured that it will eventually be translated in a very positive way to the world around them.
A.Pets also meet many psychological needs.
B.Young children can benefit from the difficult actions.
C.Small tasks can allow parents to gain a sense of understanding.
D.Use these opportunities to teach your kids about a new creature.
E.Walking gentle dogs is both safe and rewarding for the young caretakers.
F.For the youngest child,a flyer may be as simple as a picture to which you add the words.
G.Speak words of appreciation and don’t forget to comment on the great job they are doing!

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was the “fool” at school.Obviously,because I was not interested in school and did not care for my grades,and thus I was termed a student with special needs.
Over time,I started to believe in my stupidity.I absorbed the fact that I was in classes with special needs in high school.I didn’t have much confidence and was always negative.But one activity changed this view of myself:chess.
I started to play chess with my father after school because I wanted to beat him at something.My father was a smart man,fond of physics,writing,drawing—almost every discipline (知识领域).He was called a walking dictionary.So,winning in chess against my father would be a sign that I had intellectual (智力上的) power.
Game after game,I wanted to beat my father even more.I started to study chess books and play against a chess computer to improve my skills.One weekend,I beat my father while we were on a bus ride to Port Townsend.It made me feel excited and I dreamed of standing on the winner’s stage of a chess competition.
Fast forward two years and several months,I was the second board on my high school chess team,with our top board being the best high school player in the state.There was an exhibition match,so I invited my father to watch.Since our top player could not come,it was my chance to play as the top board against the best high school players in the state.It was also a chance for me to let my father be proud of me.
I was determined to show who I had become:an intelligent person able to win with calculation (计算),logic,and will.My most memorable game came in the fourth round.I was playing the black pieces and played my usual kingside defence.The competitor was making moves skillfully and it was hard for me to defend my position.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
He kept attacking and I kept defending,finding hidden resources to keep my king safe.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The present situation was to my advantage,and then I made the final perfect kingside defence.

(Text 3)
M:Could you take this down to the accounting office for me,please
W:Sure,Mr Stone.I will just be on my way down to the shipping department,anyway.Accounting office is just one floor above it,so it’s right on the way and I will do it for you first.
M:Great.Maybe when you get back,I could take you to that Thai restaurant you’re always telling me about.
(Text 4)
W:How about going camping this weekend
M:I don’t think it’s a good idea.The weather report says we may get some very heavy rain in the mountain areas this weekend.

M:Well,I’m afraid it won’t.
(Text 5)

M:I don’t know.I haven’t checked my mail yet.When is the party,by the way
W:On July 10th.
M:That’s too bad.I’m afraid I cannot go.Some friends of mine from Chicago are coming to see me this Friday.I’ve promised to hang out with them the following day.I can’t get out of that,unfortunately.I wish I could.
W:I’m so sorry to hear that.I was really looking forward to seeing you at the party.

W:Welcome to our program.Today we have invited Fred Wocson,a driving instructor with over 20 years of experience,to talk to us about learning to drive.Well,Fred,do you think it’s getting expensive to learn to drive these days
M:Well,it depends.If you come to a private instructor like me,it’s going to be a bit less expensive than going to a big school.The thing is that most people have usually heard of the big schools by the Internet or newspapers so they go there.My first customer is one of my friends,so I usually get my customers through personal connections.
W:Does that mean you have to try hard to get customers
M:Not now.When I started,I had to work hard and taught one-to-one,but at the moment I am fully booked,and my prices are quite competitive.

W:Yes.What about the rest of the money
M:Well,I spend on shows about thirty dollars a month.Games,uh,for rental of tennis court and balls about fifty dollars.I do spend some on things like reading material.And the rest I save.
W:What about clothes
M:My mother buys them for me.
W:Thanks a lot,Matt.
M:You’re welcome!

Please listen carefully.We’ll be hiking down into the Grand Canyon soon.But even though it’s a comfortable 26℃ here now,it’ll get much hotter as we go down.In fact,when we get to the bottom four hours from now,it’ll be 43℃ down there.So,most important,everyone must take along at least three liters of water.You’d better wear comfortable clothes and take some medicine in case you suffer from an illness.The heat can kill!In fact this year four people have already died in the Grand Canyon from heat exhaustion.One of them,a healthy 24-year-old man,just died one week ago.These have been the first heat-related deaths in the Grand Canyon in five years.Normally,people die in the Grand Canyon when they fall into it.Sometimes they also just get lost or get bitten by snakes,but this year has been extremely hot.The average daily temperature has been 41℃ at the bottom.So,be careful and tell me if you feel uncomfortably hot.Last,I will carry a camp;one will take a compass;three other persons will take a map.Well,good luck!

【语篇导读】本文是应用文。文章介绍了今年夏天黄石公园为游客提供的四个护林员项目。
21.D 细节理解题。题干所问的是“四个项目中哪一个项目最早开始 ”,根据四个项目的标题可知,Experiencing Wildlife in Yellowstone开始于5月26日,Junior Ranger Wildlife Olympics开始于6月5日,Canyon Talks at Artist Point开始于6月9日,Photography Workshops开始于6月19日。由此可知,Experiencing Wildlife in Yellowstone这个项目开始的时间最早。
22.D 细节理解题。根据第三个项目部分中的“...while learning about the area’s natural and human history.”可知,这个讲座是关于大峡谷地区的历史的。
23.B 细节理解题。根据第四个项目部分的最后一句“7/10-Wildflowers & White Balance:meet at Washburn Trailhead in Chittenden parking area.”可知,参加7月10日摄影研讨会的人员需要到Washburn Trailhead集合。
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。互换房子度假是一种时下大受欢迎的旅游方式,不仅成本较低,而且旅行者能深入体验当地生活。
24.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“So far,they’ve swapped their three-bedroom London home”可推断,Hoffman夫妇的家在英国伦敦。
25.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“...some homeowners also exchange cars...Some exchangers will even organise restaurant bookings and trips.”可知,有些房主对来换房的客人非常体贴、细心。
26.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Previously,the process was long and drawn-out,involving letter exchanges and expensive international calls to complete arrangements.”可知,过去交换房子度假的过程是比较复杂的,需要耗费很多时间和精力。

29.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Today,female scientists are being presented more in the media.”和“‘That might really affect children’s idea of what a scientist should be like,’says Miller,a Ph.D.candidate in psychology.”可知,更多的女性科学家出现在媒体上可能会导致孩子绘画的变化。
30.B 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“That might really affect children’s idea of what a scientist should be like”及第四段中的“the researchers conducted a meta-analysis,combining data from 78 studies that included a total of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten to the 12th grade”可知,研究者做研究是为了了解孩子们对科学家的想法,因此画线词perception的意思是“想法”,即idea。
31.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“What hasn’t changed much:kids pick up stereotypes of gender as they grow up.At age 6,about 70 percent of the girls in the more recent studies drew female scientists.By age 16,75 percent drew male scientists.This is an important period in which kids are learning stereotypes.”可推断出,科学家一般都是男性——这是一种刻板印象。
【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了美国医学协会的主席Patrice Harris的相关事迹。
32.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的 “But never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be the president of the American Medical Association(AMA).”可知,她做梦也没想过会成为美国医学协会主席,由此可见,她以前从来没打算过成为这个主席。故选C项。
33.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Harris worked extremely hard to achieve her dream.She said,‘In life,none of us can achieve success without any setback.What’s important is to learn from these challenges.’”可知,人的生活中都会有挫折,最重要的是要从这些挑战中去学习,而历经这些挫折加上勤奋才能成功。由此可知,她把自己的成功归功于从挫折中学习。故选C项。
34.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But it is not awards,she said,but rather treating and caring for her patients that has motivated her throughout her career.”和“...every opportunity...profession of medicine”可知,作为一名医生,治疗和照顾病人这件事是她职业生涯的动力,可知她对工作是全心全意的。故选B项。
35.D 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“...because every opportunity that I have to help a patient in need is so meaningful,and it shows me why I originally wanted to go into the profession of medicine”可知,她认为每次有机会帮助病人是很有意义的,由此可见,她认为和病人的互动是值得的,fulfilling与下文meaningful相呼应。故选D项。

36.F 根据上文中的“Have your kids make flyers to place around the neighborhood,showcasing their willingness to help out by caring for neighborhood pets.”及下文中的“Also encourage them to come up with their own ideas for flyers.”可知,家长可以锻炼孩子通过制作传单的方式表达想要提供帮助的意愿,而对幼小的孩子来说,传单可以只是一幅由家长配文的简单的画。F项符合此处语境。
37.E 下文中的“You can accompany your children,while also allowing them to take the leash and lead the way.”与E项中的“Walking gentle dogs”相呼应,家长陪着孩子一起遛狗是一种对孩子有益的方式。

40.G 根据下文中的“Offer positive affirmations to your children...When you praise your children’s willingness”可知,要及时给予孩子赞许和肯定,让他们知道自己做得很棒,且这件事对他们的身心均有益。下文与G项构成递进关系。

第一节
Dear Sir or Madam,
I bought a digital camera from your website last Saturday,but I have to say that I am disappointed with its quality.
First,the screen is always black,so I have to restart it again and again,which brings much inconvenience to me.Besides,the battery can only support the camera’s operation for half an hour,and I can never find a place to charge it.Therefore,I want to change it for another camera or get a refund.
I would appreciate it if my problem can receive due attention.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
He kept attacking and I kept defending,finding hidden resources to keep my king safe.He thought long about how to take me down,which gave me time to stay calm and not panic.He tried to break down my kingside defence,but failed in the final push.His time was almost up and he started to make rapid moves.I returned with more defensive measures and tried to make it as difficult for him as possible,which made him really anxious.
The present situation was to my advantage,and then I made the final perfect kingside defence.As I thought,he couldn’t figure out a way to rescue himself after my moves.At last,I beat the top competitor.I saw my father in the audience who was moved to tears.While standing on the winner’s stage,I knew I was not a fool.Chess is something that has totally changed my life.Since then,the negative part of me has melted away,and I have realised that everyone should live with confidence.第八单元测评

A
Four Wreckage Sites in Bermuda
With more than 300 shipwrecks (海难) in its waters,Bermuda is often considered the shipwreck capital of the world.Here Philippe Max Rouja,a Bermuda native,picks four of his favorite wreckage sites.
King
While most of the wreckage sites were the results of accidents,this boat was placed underwater to create a diving site intentionally.Gary Lamb,the owner of the King,gifted the boat to the Bermuda Dive Association,which placed it at a depth of 65 feet off the island’s south shore.“It’s often considered a divers’ favorite,since you can swim through the boat,” Rouja says.
B-50 Bomber
While the vast majority of diving sites around Bermuda are the wreckage of ships,there is one that is different from the others:the remains of an airplane.The US B-50 Bomber’s jet engine exploded and the plane dropped into the Atlantic Ocean.“The bomber’s remains now rest about 25 feet underwater,” Rouja says.
Montana and Constellation
These two wrecks are stacked (堆放) one on top of each other.The Montana,a steamer,sunk after hitting a coral reef (珊瑚礁),while the Constellation,a wooden ship,met a similar fate years later.“Divers can experience the site too,since they are located just eight feet below the surface,” Rouja says.
Cristobal Colon
Known as the largest of Bermuda’s shipwreck,the Cristobal Colon met its fate when it crashed into a coral reef.There were many attempts to save the ship,but when those failed,paintings and furnishings on it were saved.Today,many of the items on the ship can be found in the homes of Bermudians.“My dad has a painting of a bookseller from Paris hanging in his home,” Rouja says.“The story of the ship persists (存留) in locals’ daily lives.Divers can still access the ship,which sits 80 feet below the surface.”
21.Which of the following is a man-made wreckage site
A.King. B.B-50 Bomber.
C.Cristobal Colon. D.Montana and Constellation.
22.What is special about the B-50 Bomber site
A.It is owned by Gary Lamb. B.It is the remains of an airplane.
C.It is the biggest shipwreck in Bermuda. D.It is formed by two sunken boats piled together.
23.What does Rouja say about Cristobal Colon
A.It was saved completely. B.It crashed into another ship.
C.Its story is well-known by local people. D.Its body is preserved in a Bermudian’s home.
B
Towards the end of high school,one of my best friends and I had a fight.She told me I had no common sense,I replied that she was childish,and in a matter of minutes,we went from inseparable to very separate.
We didn’t speak for most of our senior year.We both found other friends,avoiding each other like the plague (瘟疫).A few months after graduation,I learned that she was having some trouble.I sent her a message:“I’m still here,if you ever need me.” She replied shortly after.We reunited,and thus ended our friendship break.
Friendship breakups aren’t all that uncommon.People grow apart and fight.But friendship breaks are a different story.While they’re often healthy,sometimes,they’re also tough to control.Sometimes,like in my case,they happen suddenly and with zero intentions to reunite.In other situations,they’re more of a slow burn.
Katie,33,says she took a break from her best college friend after a few tense exchanges,like when the friend pressured Katie—then a graduate student on a tight budget—to go on an international trip.“We’d probably been friends for ten years at the time of the break,” Katie says.“I felt that the relationship had stopped being enjoyable.” For four years,she and her friend sent only the occasional text messages.Then,a year and a half ago,the two women happened to move to the same town.“She asked whether I would like to meet,” Katie says,“and we took it slowly,speaking on the phone and going for lunches and a few nights out.”
Once you reconnect,you may find that your friendship is totally different,for better or for worse.“A friendship break allows both friends to reassess the situation and see if they miss each other during the cooling-off period,” says sociologist Jan Yager.“When they do reconnect,it might be with a new perspective.”
24.Why did the author break up with her friend
A.Because they had a big argument.
B.Because her friend befriended other students.
C.Because her friend avoided the author purposely.
D.Because they got bored with playing with each other.
25.Why did the author send her friend a message
A.She wanted to share her story. B.She intended to visit her.
C.She still cared about her. D.She needed her help.
26.What do we know about Katie and her friend
A.They have been friends for over ten years. B.They rebuilt their friendship gradually.
C.They were eager to fix the broken friendship. D.They lost touch with each other after graduation.
27.What’s Jan Yager’s opinion of the friendship break
A.It will harm friendship in the long run. B.It is a necessary part of friendship.
C.It usually results in reconnection. D.It is a time for reflection.
C
A small bowl bought at a yard sale in Connecticut for just $35 has been identified as a rare 15th-century Chinese antique.
The blue-and-white bowl was made by China’s royal court during the Ming Dynasty.It is now expected to sell for up to $500,000,according to Sotheby’s auction(拍卖) house in New York,where the auction will take place next month.
The purchase was made last year near New Haven,Connecticut.“I was just hanging around there aimlessly.But when I saw this bowl,I didn’t even bargain over the $35 asking price,” the owner said.Shortly after the purchase,he sent photos of the bowl to auction specialists,who identified it as an item of historical significance.
Upon closer inspection,the artifact was found to have originated from the period of the Yongle Emperor,who ruled from 1402 to 1424—a period noted for its distinctive porcelain(瓷器) techniques.It’s now valued between $300,000 and $500,000,with the top estimate nearly 14,300 times the amount it was purchased for.
“I was deeply attracted by the techniques.You can see why this bowl is so highly-valued from the very smooth porcelain body,silky glaze (釉料)and special blue colouring,which were never reproduced in later dynasties,” McAteer,an auction specialist,said.
“The Yongle Emperor improved the porcelain techniques and elevated the importance of porcelain from being an ordinary bowl into a true work of art.This small bowl has both practical and artistic value,” McAteer said.
28.What can we infer about the bowl’s owner
A.He found the bowl by accident. B.He hesitated during the purchase.
C.He doubted whether the bowl was real. D.He bought the bowl because it was cheap.
29.What makes the bowl so precious
A.The blue colour on it. B.The long history it has.
C.The people who made it. D.The unique techniques used.
30.What does the underlined word “elevated” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A.Foresaw. B.Promoted. C.Assessed. D.Acknowledged.
31.What’s the best title of the text
A.An Amazing Bowl B.A Special Yard Sale
C.The Return of Porcelains D.A Man Making Fortune
D
There are around 100 tribes (部落) that live in global isolation,mostly in South America and India.The Sentinelese have lived on one of the Andaman Islands in Eastern India for 60,000 years.They protect their island by fighting against people from outside.Their language is different from any other known languages.Another Andaman tribe is the Jarawa.In the past,they were independent and fought against anybody trying to make contact with them.But in 1998,the Indian government built a road across their land,and since then,they’ve had more contact with the outside world.
Some Amazon tribes avoid contact because of unhappy memories.The Mashco-Piro left their vegetable gardens after rubber companies killed most of their tribes at the beginning of the 20th century.Those who survived became nomadic (游牧的) and started hunting animals in the forest.
The Awa live in the Amazon forests of Brazil.Out of 350 members,100 have no contact with the outside world.They left their villages and adopted a nomadic lifestyle around 1850 to escape attacks by Europeans.In the following years,farmers in nearby communities started cutting the trees to expand their farmland.The Awa lost most of their hunting land.The few Amazon tribes that still exist are fighting to keep their traditional way of life.
Survival,an organization that fights for the rights of tribal people,says that uncontacted tribes are the most vulnerable (弱势的) humans on the planet and that’s why their environment should be unavailable to the rest of us.After years of pressure,the organization got Brazil’s government to clear non-natives from the Awa land.All non-Awa people are leaving so the tribe can get their forest back.
But some think it’s impossible for tribes to stay isolated forever in a connected world.Contact will be made one day.So the question is:Whose choice should it be,ours or theirs
32.What can we learn about the Sentinelese from the first paragraph
A.They resist contact from the outside world.
B.They speak the same language as the Jarawa.
C.They are wild about fighting with other tribes.
D.They have got help from the Indian government.
33.Why did the Awa choose a nomadic lifestyle
A.To protect their hunting land. B.To search for food sources.
C.To avoid threats from Europeans. D.To maintain their original way of life.
34.Which of the following would Survival probably agree with
A.The tribes should be left undisturbed.
B.The tribes should fight for more living space.
C.The tribes should live in harmony with nature.
D.The tribes should adapt to the connected world.
35.What can be the best title for the text
A.The Nomadic Tribes in the World B.Seeking Survival of Tribes
C.The Unavailable Tribal Environment D.Protecting the Tribal Forests

You have an important test tomorrow. 36 But you’re still worried.You need to relax.What can help Maybe a quiet walk A cup of tea A little yoga Psychologists have another idea:Sit down and write!Write about your stress.
Why does writing help There are two reasons.First,your memory works like the memory in a computer.You need to delete (删除) some documents to make room for other documents. 37 So they need a lot of room in their brains for memory.They need to delete their “documents” of stress.Writing helps them by moving the stress out of the brain and putting it on paper.The second reason is writing helps you to focus.People write about their stress.As a result,they feel less worried.Then they can focus better on other things.
Psychologists are studying the connection between stress and writing.They do experiments with students.They put students into two groups. 38 The other group sits quietly.Then all the students take a test.What are the results The students in the writing group do better than the other group of students.
39 Some people don’t sleep well.Writing at night will help them sleep better.Some athletes get stressed about winning or losing.They can’t focus on playing well.Writing before a game can help them play better.People in job interviews get stressed,too.Writing before an interview can help them relax.
40 Try this experiment:Go to class ten minutes early,and write about your stress.You can write in English or your own language.Then take the test.Maybe the psychologists are right.Maybe writing will help you,too.
A.Do you get stressed about tests
B.Writing can help other people,too.
C.Writing can help you perform well in an exam.
D.Students need to remember a lot of information.
E.One group writes about their stress for ten minutes.
F.Do you feel relaxed after writing about your stress
G.You study very hard and you’re doing well in the class.

A 17-year-old teenager,Anika Puri,has invented a low-cost tool to spot elephant poachers(偷猎者) in real time.She won the 2022 Peggy Scripps Award for Science Communication for her model of a machine-learning driven software that analyzes movement patterns in thermal videos of humans and elephants.“I’m 41 excited by the 42 focusing on endangered species and environmental science,” Puri said.
During a recent trip to India,Puri realized that elephants were still being 43 for their tusks(牙).“I was quite taken aback,” Puri said,“Because I always thought,‘Well,poaching is 44 ;how come it really is still such a big 45 ’”
Over the next two years,Puri 46 the software EISa (short for elephant savior).This wildlife poacher detection solution is based on a 47 process:an EISa camera 48 to a mobile phone flies over a park on a drone and 49 the movements of elephants or humans.The software is four times more 50 than existing state-of-the-art detection methods.It also decreases the 51 for expensive high-resolution thermal cameras.
The 17-year-old’s invention has earned 52 from notable scientists.“Puri’s software is quite admirable,” says Jasper Eikelboom,an ecologist,“it’s quite 53 that a senior high school student has been able to 54 something like this.Not only the research and the analysis,but also being able to 55 it in the models.”

About a mile behind our house lay a pond.In summer,my brother Harry and I would run through a stand of trees to throw stones over the water there.The pond wore a collar of black mud.It was not a place for swimming.When winter came,the pond was once again an inviting place.
One day when ice covered it,Harry said to me,“Try walking across.”
The ice looked thick.No water showed through it,but I felt uncertain about it.
“Go ahead,” Harry said.“Try it.You’re lighter than I am.You go first.If the ice holds,we can run and slide on it.It’ll be fun.”
I wanted to please Harry,and I thought about the fun of a long slide on the ice.I began to take steps across the pond.In the middle of the pond,the ice cracked.I threw out my arms.The next thing I knew was hanging on to the edge of a hole in the ice.From my shoulders down I hung in icy water.I thought of the bottom of the pond.I knew it would be black and awful down there.I tried to climb out of the hole,but when I got a knee on the ice,it broke like window glass.Again and again I tried to get out.Again and again the ice broke.The hole widened.As my coat became wet,it pulled me down.I grew tired of trying to get out and rested my arms on the ice.
I looked at Harry on the shore.He just stood there.“I can’t get out!Help me!” I screamed when I caught some breath.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。

19.B 20.A
【语篇导读】本文是应用文。文章介绍了百慕大群岛的四个失事遗址。
21.A 细节理解题。根据King部分中的“While most of the wreckage sites were the results of accidents,this boat was placed underwater to create a diving site intentionally.”可知,King这一潜水点是人造的。
22.B 细节理解题。根据B-50 Bomber部分中的“While the vast majority of diving sites around Bermuda are the wreckage of ships,there is one that is different from the others:the remains of an airplane.”可知,B-50 Bomber的特殊之处在于它是飞机失事的遗址。
23.C 推理判断题。根据Cristobal Colon部分中的“Today,many of the items on the ship can be found in the homes of Bermudians.”以及Rouja的话“The story of the ship persists in locals’ daily lives.”可知,Cristobal Colon的故事被当地人所熟知。
【语篇导读】本文是夹叙夹议文。朋友之间难免会产生矛盾,导致友谊暂时中断,但这一中断期可以让双方重新审视彼此间的关系。
24.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“one of my best friends and I had a fight...childish”可知,作者和好朋友大吵一架后友谊就中断了。
25.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I’m still here,if you ever need me.”可知,尽管友谊中断,但得知朋友遇到麻烦的消息后,作者还是发去了信息,说明她心里还记挂着昔日的朋友。
26.B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“‘She asked whether I would like to meet,’Katie says,‘and we took it slowly,speaking on the phone and going for lunches and a few nights out.’”可知,Katie和朋友碰巧又搬到了同一个小镇,于是她们开始慢慢修复友谊。
27.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“A friendship break allows both friends to reassess the situation and see if they miss each other during the cooling-off period”可知,这位社会学家认为友谊中断期可以让双方冷静下来重新审视彼此间的关系。
【语篇导读】本文是新闻报道。在康涅狄格州拍卖会上,一个以35美元购得的小碗被认定是一件罕见的15世纪的中国古董。据估计,该碗在拍卖会上的售价可达50万美元。本文描述了小碗的主人购买该小碗的过程和小碗的细节信息。
28.A 推理判断题。根据第三段小碗的主人所说的话“I was just hanging...I didn’t even bargain over the $35 asking price”可知,小碗的主人在闲逛时偶然发现了这个碗。故选A项。
29.D 细节理解题。根据第五段中“You can see why this bowl...which were never reproduced in later dynasties”可知,从这只瓷碗十分光滑的瓷身、丝滑的釉料和特殊的蓝色着色就可以看出它为何如此值钱,并且这些在后来的朝代都从未重现过。据此可知,该碗的珍贵之处在于制作它时使用的独特的技术。故选D项。
30.B 词义猜测题。根据尾段中的“The Yongle Emperor improved the porcelain techniques...into a true work of art.”可知,永乐皇帝改进了制瓷技术,提升了瓷器的重要性,使一个普通的碗提升为一件真正的艺术品,所以可以判断,画线词意为“提升;抬高(地位)”。故选B项。
31.A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章第一句为全文的主旨句,结合下文内容可知,本文主要介绍了一个被认定为永乐年间的古董碗的相关情况,主人以35美元购得,在拍卖会上售价预计可达50万美元。故A项最适合作为全文标题。故选A项。
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了世界各地幸存的原始部落以及现代社会对其产生的影响。
32.A 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,森提奈人通过与外界的人斗争来保护他们的岛屿。在过去,他们是独立的,且与任何试图与他们接触的人作斗争。由此可推知,森提奈人抵制与外界接触。故选A项。
33.C 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“They left their villages and adopted a nomadic lifestyle around 1850 to escape attacks by Europeans.”可知,阿瓦人离开了他们的村庄,过上了游牧生活是为了免遭欧洲人的攻击。故选C项。
34.A 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,Survival是一个为部落人民争取权利的组织,它表示与世隔绝的部落是地球上最弱势的群体,这就是为什么他们的生存环境理应是“我”们其他人所不可获得的。而且该组织经过多年的施压,迫使巴西政府将非原住居民从阿瓦居民的住处清走,这样这个部落又可以回到属于他们的地方。由此可推知,Survival最有可能会赞同部落理应不受打扰。故选A项。
35.B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了世界各地幸存的一些原始部落以及现代社会对其产生的影响。B项“寻找幸存的部落”能概括文章大意,适合做本文标题。故选B项。
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。研究表明:写作可以舒缓焦虑,使人放松。
36.G 根据该空后的“But”可知,前后两句为转折关系,故G项“你学习努力并且课堂表现良好”符合此处语境。
37.D 本段主要分析了写作可以帮助舒缓学生考前焦虑的两个原因,第一个原因围绕学生大脑存储空间进行说明,因此该空后的they指代students,且该空后的“So they need a lot of room in their brains for memory...Writing helps them by moving the stress out of the brain and putting it on paper.”表明,写作可以把焦虑从大脑中移除,使学生有更多的记忆空间。因此D项符合此处语境。
38.E E项中的“One group...”与该空后的“The other group...”为并列关系。
39.B 根据该段中的“Some people don’t sleep well.”和“Some athletes get stressed about winning or losing.”以及“People in job interviews get stressed”可知,除了学生之外,写作还可以帮助其他有精神焦虑的人。B项概括本段主旨,为本段主题句,符合此处语境。
40.A 根据该空后的“Try this experiment:Go to class ten minutes early,and write about your stress.You can write in English or your own language.Then take the test.”可知,本段主要是作者针对焦虑的考生提出的建议,A项用问句提出考试焦虑这一情境,与下文呼应,故A项符合此处语境。
【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了17岁的青少年Anika Puri发明了EISa——一种低成本的可以实时发现大象偷猎者的工具。
41.A 根据第一句“A 17-year-old teenager,Anika Puri,has invented a low-cost tool to spot elephant poachers in real time.”可知,Puri发明了一种低成本的工具,她当然对自己的发明感到特别兴奋。故选A项。
42.B 根据第一句“A 17-year-old teenager,Anika Puri,has invented a low-cost tool to spot elephant poachers in real time.”和最后一段中的“the 17-year-old’s invention”可知,Puri发明了EISa这一软件。故选B项。
43.C 根据空格后的“for their tusks”可知,大象肯定是被猎杀。故选C项。
44.D 根据上文的“During a recent trip to India,Puri realized that elephants were still being 43 for their tusks.”和空格前的poaching可知,猎杀大象肯定是违法的。故选D项。
45.A 根据上一句“Well,poaching is 44 ”可知,猎杀大象是违法的,所以Puri不理解,这为什么仍然是一个大问题。故选A项。
46.B 根据文章第一句“A 17-year-old teenager,Anika Puri,has invented a low-cost tool to spot elephant poachers in real time.”可知,Puri肯定是发明创造了这一软件。故选B项。
47.C 根据下文的解释可知,这种利用EISa发现偷猎者的过程是很简单的。故选C项。
48.D EIsa的作用是发现偷猎者,所以它的摄像头一定是和手机相连。故选D项。
49.A EIsa的作用是发现偷猎者,所以它的摄像头一定是探测大象或人类的活动。故选A项。
50.B 根据第一段的“low-cost”可知,这一工具既便宜又简单,再根据下一段的“Puri’s software is quite admirable”可知,Puri的软件一定比现有的最先进的检测方法精确四倍。故选B项。
51.C 根据上一句“The software is four times more 50 than existing state-of-the-art detection methods.”可知,Puri的软件比现有的最先进的检测方法精确四倍。这当然就不需要那些昂贵的高分辨率热像仪了。故选C项。
52.B 根据下文的句子“‘Puri’s software is quite admirable,’ says Jasper Eikelboom,an ecologist,‘it’s quite 53 that a senior high school student has been able to 54 something like this.Not only the research and the analysis,but also...being able to 55 it in the models.’”可知,Puri赢得了科学家的称赞。故选B项。
53.D 根据下文的“a senior high school student has been able to 54 something like this”可知,一个高中生能够做到这样的事情肯定是非常了不起的。故选D项。
54.A 根据上文内容可知,Puri发明了EISa,对于一个高中生来说,有这种成就是了不起的。故选A项。

56.to prevent 考查不定式作状语。分析语境可知,此处应用不定式作目的状语,故填to prevent。
57.with 考查介词。treat...with...意为“用……治疗……”。
58.begins 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。由前面的“most often”可知,设空处是对一般情况的描述,应用一般现在时,又因为主语是“This disease”,故填begins。

60.inserting 考查动词-ing形式作宾语。设空处作by的宾语,故填inserting。
61.given 考查动词-ed形式作定语。设空处作后置定语修饰children,又因为give与children之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,且give所表示的动作已完成,故填given。
62.has been used 考查动词的时态和语态。由前面的up to now 可知,应用现在完成时,又因为“gene therapy”与use之间是被动关系,故填has been used。
63.which/that 考查定语从句的关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词disease,且在从句中作主语,故填which/that。
64.more positive 考查形容词比较级。由语境及前面的much可知,应用形容词比较级,故填more positive。
65.safety 考查名词。设空处作of的宾语,表示“安全性”,且由前面的its可知,应填safety。

第一节
Dear Simon,
Glad to hear from you.I’d like to recommend Zhonghua Weidao to you,a Chinese restaurant near the subway on Hexie Road.
The restaurant serves good traditional Chinese food including dumplings,noodles and various dishes.The prices are very reasonable and that’s probably why it’s popular with young people.Moreover,there is karaoke every evening from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm.It’s a relaxed and informal restaurant and there are always lots of customers.Besides,the service is very nice,fast and helpful.
Wish you a happy time!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Harry turned and ran from the pond.As I looked at his back,I wondered:Is he running for help,or is he running away and leaving me to fall to the bottom I was surprised to see him pick up a large,fallen tree limb.It was V-shaped.He ran with it toward the pond.At the edge,he fell to his stomach,pushed the limb out in front of him,and moved slowly toward me.When a thin top branch was within reach,I took hold of it.It didn’t break.
Hand over hand,I pulled myself from the hole.I began to stand.I wanted to run from the pond as fast as I could.Harry shouted,“Get down!Stay flat on the ice or it’ll break again.” I did as he told me.Harry moved slowly backward towards the shore,pulling the limb.I hung on to a branch and moved slowly towards the shore on my stomach.Once out of the pond,I cried with anger.“Sorry,I shouldn’t have let you go first,” Harry said.It did change him,because since then he’s always gone first whenever we’ve tried something.第九单元测评

A
The Renaissance marks a period of human awakening.In this article we are going to explore the inventions during this period which have helped change the life and progress of mankind.
Clock
The first mechanical (机械的) clock was invented in the early 1300s.Galileo,an Italian scientist,discovered the pendulum (钟摆) around 1602.The pendulum greatly improved the movement of the hands of a clock.The average error with the pendulum varied only by seconds each day.Before this the error was from 10 to 15 minutes a day.
Eyeglasses
In the late thirteenth century paintings first appeared with people wearing or holding eyeglasses.From these paintings we know that eyeglasses were invented in Italy.Around 1300 the Venetian Glassmaker’s Guild made it illegal for cheap glasses to be made.By 1352 eyeglasses were only worn by well-educated,rich men.In 1456 the invention of the printing press allowed books to become widespread.Once people owned books reading glasses began to be seen in the hands of common people.In 1623 the Spanish invented the first graded eyeglasses.
Flush toilet (抽水马桶)
Sir John Harrington,godson to Queen Elizabeth,made the first flush toilet for himself and his godmother in 1596.He was teased by his friends and never made another one.
In 1775,Alexander Cummings reinvented the flush toilet more commonly called the water closet.Two years later in 1777 Samuel Prosser applied for and received a patent (专利) for it.
Wallpaper
In 1496 the first paper factory came into operation in England.English artists soon make wallpaper for decoration.For the next 200 years England was a large producer of wallpaper for Europe.Before wallpaper was invented only wealthy people could afford to decorate the walls of their houses.
21.What do we know about the first clock
A.It measured 23 hours a day. B.It was designed by Galileo.
C.It was made in the 1300s. D.It had a pendulum.
22.What happened to eyeglasses when they were first invented
A.They were worn by the rich. B.They were spread by the Spanish.
C.They were made in different grades. D.They were used to appreciate paintings.
23.What did John Harrington do to his invention
A.He improved it 2 years later. B.He applied for a patent for it.
C.He designed it for his friends. D.He shared it with Queen Elizabeth.
B
Rob Greenfield is an American.He describes himself as an adventurer and an activist.He really cares about the world and its environment and is always looking for ways to inspire people to keep the world healthy.One of his most recent activities was to help people become more aware of the amount of trash they produce.He called this activity “Trash Me”.
We usually place our trash in a large plastic bag.When the bag is full,we tie it up and place it somewhere with everyone else’s trash.Like magic,it disappears and we have no idea what happens to it.Maybe we never think about it.Rob learnt that most Americans create about two kilos of trash each day.If we could reduce this amount,there would be a huge benefit to our environment.But how do you make people aware of this He had an unusual idea.He changed himself to wear every piece of trash he created over thirty days.Multiply two kilos of trash by 30 days in a month,and he has around 60 kilos of additional weight to carry around!He made a suit that would enable him to do this and began walking the streets of New York.
“I noticed that no one has any idea how much waste they are creating.” People would see Rob walking around and be curious about what he was doing.With every explanation,he hoped to get at least one more person to think about the waste they were creating.
Rob lives a near zero waste lifestyle outside of Trash Me.In the high-consumption world that we live in today,this may seem unreasonable but Rob believes that with the right mindset it is possible to create far less waste and live a healthier life.Reduce,reuse,recycle,and refuse on a regular basis.Your small efforts will go a long way.
24.What do we know about Rob Greenfield
A.He works as a local cleaner. B.He can perform magic with trash.
C.He is an environmental advocator. D.He creates works of art with trash.
25.What did Rob Greenfield want to show through “Trash Me”
A.Americans make large amounts of trash. B.Trash affects people’s normal daily life.
C.Trash can be recycled in a specific way. D.Americans know little about trash.
26.What was Rob Greenfield’s activity about
A.Recycling trash for clothes. B.Collecting waste across America.
C.Producing environment-friendly bags. D.Walking in the street with a trash-made suit.
27.How did people like Rob Greenfield’s activity at first
A.They were doubtful about it. B.They were frightened by it.
C.They were interested in it. D.They were moved by it.
C
From an early age,my daughter was a natural traveller.I remember being concerned about how she would handle the time difference when we travelled to Europe the summer after her kindergarten year,but she hit the ground running.She woke early enough to catch the first train to Brussels.She wasn’t afraid to try new food in Belgium or Greece.
My 10-year-old son,however,is not a traveller.He feels comfortable in familiar places,and he is a picky eater.
This past summer,my kids and I spent three weeks in Central America.My daughter’s eyes lit up when I told her about the trip;my son’s filled with trepidation.
I spent the month making preparations for our trip,finding ways to convince my son that he would have fun,and that we’d be able to find him food that he would eat.My son loves animals,so I left magazines lying around our house that were conveniently opened to stories on animals found in Central America.
On our first day,we took a bus across Belize to the zoo,which my son loved.It seemed like a successful day until he cried through part of dinner.Exhaustion had gotten the best of him.Much like that first day,the trip had highs and lows.
I learned that making sure my son had enough sleep was the best way I could set us up for success.I made sure both kids had activities they were excited about.I didn’t plan a schedule.This allowed us to plan our days based on how we were feeling.
There were days that were not easy,but when I look through our pictures and find the one of us having just hiked the Pacaya volcano,I know it was worth it.
28.What does the author say about the author’s daughter
A.She hates getting up early in the morning. B.She feels nervous in unfamiliar places.
C.She is a picky eater. D.She loves travelling.
29.What does the underlined word “trepidation” in paragraph 3 probably mean

30.What’s the preference of the author’s son
A.Animals. B.Travelling. C.Magazines. D.Various foods.
31.How were the author and her son during their summer trip
A.They were sleepless. B.They were in a hurry.
C.They fell behind their schedule. D.They experienced sufferings and happiness.

The news that researchers have used cloning to make human embryos for the purpose of producing stem cells may have some people wondering if it would ever be possible to clone a person.Although it would be immoral,experts say it is likely biologically possible to clone a human being.Since the 1950s when researchers cloned a frog,scientists have cloned dozens of animal species,including mice,cats,sheep,pigs and cows.
With mice,researchers are able to use thousands of eggs,and conduct many experiments,to work out these problems.“It’s a numbers game,” said Dr Robert Lanza,the chief scientific officer at a biotech company.“But with primates (灵长类动物),eggs are very precious,and it is not easy to get them to conduct experiments.”
In addition,researchers can’t simply apply what they’ve learned from cloning mice or cows to cloning a person.Cloning an animal requires that researchers remove proteins that are necessary to help cells divide.In mice,this isn’t a problem,because the embryo that is created is able to make these proteins again.But primates aren’t able to do this,and researchers think it may be one reason that attempts to clone monkeys have failed.
What’s more,cloned animals often have different kinds of abnormalities.These abnormalities are common because cloned embryos have just one parent rather than two,which means that a process known as “imprinting (印记)” does not occur properly in cloned embryos.
“Problems with imprinting can result in extremely large embryos,which leads to problems with blood flow for the baby,” Lanza said.“The extremely high rate of death and the developmental abnormalities from cloning make cloning people immoral.It’s like sending your baby up in a rocket knowing there’s a 50-50 chance that it’s going to explode.”
32.What can we learn from paragraph 1
A.Animal cloning is illegal.
B.Human cloning is possible.
C.Human embryos may have new functions.
D.Animal embryos can be used for medicine.
33.How does the author develop paragraph 2
A.By making comparisons. B.By showing processes.
C.By offering analyses. D.By using statistics.
34.How were the experiments on cloning monkeys
A.They have solved the problem with proteins.
B.They have been applied to human cloning.
C.They were successful.
D.They were in trouble.
35.How does Lanza feel about human cloning

You are the original teachers of our students,and your attitudes towards education are going to influence your kids.So let’s help each other and do the best for kids with these five important steps:
1.Stop making excuses for your kids
Everyone makes mistakes,especially kids. 36 .That is the heart of learning.So,when your kids are late,or they don’t finish their homework,avoid covering for them.Let them learn.
2. 37
If kids had a choice of what to eat they’d probably pick ice cream that is not nutritious.The same is true of doing homework—it’s usually not as much fun as diving into video games.So how do kids manage to turn homework in on time The answer is good parenting.
3.Cut the distractions
Video games are the bane (烦恼之源) of every teacher’s existence.TVs,iPads,and the smartphones—all of these compete against developmental activities like socialization,outdoor exercise,and reading books. 38 .
4.Model good habits at home
Kids learn from parents first and they learn from parents most. 39 .If you never pick up a book,and watch TV at every meal,your kids will do the same.But if you read before bed,and put the screens down,your kids will follow your lead.
5.Work with their teachers,not against them
40 .We are not in education because we expect to become millionaires;we’re here because we care about kids and our society.Supporting your children is the highest of our priorities (优先处理的事).
A.Be on our side
B.Make sure they’re doing their work
C.Thus,what you do,your kids will do
D.Help teachers out by cutting them out of your kids’ daily activities
E.As such,the quality of our days is dependent on your leadership at home
F.Education is built on being able to make mistakes and then face the consequences of them
G.It might be uncomfortable for a moment,but those are valuable experiences for your children

Inspired by Sandy’s style of 52 ,the shelter has announced that a reading marathon is being 53 for next September.The plan is to get kids in the neighborhood 54 in reading to the animals,with the added benefit of reading practice for the two-leggers,along with plenty of friendly 55 for the four-leggers.

I awoke suddenly from a deep sleep.My heart was pounding,and I was scared.I closed my eyes,hoping to fall back to sleep quickly.But there it was again.
I was drowning.I was going to die soon if I didn’t do something!“Swim to the light,” a little voice said.I started struggling.I broke through the surface of the water.I was alive,and everything was going to be fine.
I got out of bed,afraid I would have the bad dream again if I went back to sleep.It troubled me all day,making it hard to focus on work.My mind kept drifting back to the dream,wondering what it could possibly mean.
That night,the dream came roaring back again.The next morning,I told my husband about it while we were getting ready for work.My husband said,“The dream might be just to reassure you that your friend,Sandy,will be alright if she fights back.” I liked his interpretation,but I wasn’t sure if that’s what it really meant.
Sandy was my friend,who had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and had started chemo(化疗).She was only in her thirties and had three young children.Outwardly,I tried to be positive and encouraging,but inwardly I was very upset by all that was happening to her.
Over the next few weeks,I had the same dream several times.I couldn’t shake the dream.I became convinced that the dream was mostly about me,but somehow Sandy was very connected.Sandy was fighting her cancer.The dream was showing me that I needed to fight back and swim to the light.
I struggled to find a connection between Sandy and my dream.What was wrong What did I need to fight The only thing I could come up with was to make an appointment for a check.A few days after the appointment,I got a call saying they wanted to do more X-rays.That same day,the radiologist recommended a medical check,which was scheduled for a few days later.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
The day finally came for me to get the results of medical check.

M:Hi,Lily.I heard you are a great musician.
W:You must be joking,Mike.I only play the piano a little.You must have mistaken me for Lisa.
(Text 2)
W:I tried to call you last night,but there wasn’t any answer.
M:I’m sorry.I was at a concert last night.I wanted to answer the phone,but you wouldn’t have heard me at all even if I’d answered.
(Text 3)
W:The hotel was not worth the money
M:Yes.No one was available to help with the luggage.I got stuck in the elevator this morning when I went to the dining hall.

(Text 4)
M:It is extremely cold today,isn’t it
W:Yes,the weather forecast says it will snow heavily again tonight.

(Text 5)
W:Oh,it seems that I have seen this pop singer somewhere,but I couldn’t remember clearly.

W:That’s true.How did he earn his fame
M:A lot of people visited his blog and his talent for music is gradually appreciated by people.
(Text 6)
W:Dr.Richard,when did you have the idea of helping cancer patients
M:Actually,I didn’t have any idea when I left high school at the age of 18.Then I found a job in a small medical lab.I never dreamed I would help save people’s lives.
W:Then what caused your change
M:I love lab work,so I went back to school.After ten years,I got my PhD.Then I worked at a medical company,where I began the research on a medicine to treat lung cancer patients.Now I have been here for 8 years.For me,a drug saves more than life.It can save a family.
W:I couldn’t agree more with you.
(Text 7)
W:Hello,this is Sally speaking.What can I do for you

M:Mom,I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the food in India.Ever since I got back from my trip,I’ve been dying for some real Indian food.But there’s nothing around here.No restaurants serve the kinds of dishes I ate there.I’d have to go to a big city to find anything that comes close.In our town,they don’t even make spicy food!
W:Well,Drew,why don’t you try making your own
M:I wish I could!But I wouldn’t know where to start.
W:I’ll help you look online for some recipes.
M:How will we know which ones are good
W:We’ll try them,of course!After some practice,we’ll be able to tell which ones we’ll like best.
M:But I doubt we’ll find everything we need in the grocery stores.I’m sure they use many unusual spices in India.
W:We will start simply.I know I’ve seen some Thai spices at the market—maybe some of them will be useful.If we find that those aren’t enough,we can order some online.There must be an Indian grocery store somewhere in America that will ship them.If worse comes to worst,I’ll ask my brother in New York to look around.He should be able to find a place that sells Indian spices!
M:Thanks,Mom!This is going to be fun!I can’t wait to start cooking!
(Text 9)

W:Yes,I saw it too.It was really nice,wasn’t it I know that Mary loves drawing water.Did she go to the river

W:We were walking to the market together but then he saw someone cleaning windows at the bank and stopped to draw that.
M:Christina is the best artist.I saw her on Bridge Street sitting at a table having a drink.She was drawing a waiter talking to a customer.The picture looked really good.

第一节
Dear Henry,
I’m glad to hear from you,and I’d like to introduce my favorite scientist to you.
Regarded as the “Father of China’s Nuclear Bomb”,Deng Jiaxian is the scientist I admire most.Born in 1924 in Anhui Province,he got his doctor’s degree from Purdue University in America in 1950.After that,he returned to China and devoted all his life to the development of China’s nuclear and hydrogen bombs.After years of hard work,he died in Beijing in 1986.
Deng Jiaxian made great contributions to the development of our country and will always be remembered as an outstanding scientist.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
The day finally came for me to get the results of medical check.When the doctor came into the room,he moved his chair close to mine and said cautiously,“I’m afraid I don’t have very good news.” There were no tears,just a feeling of numbness.“I know,” I said,nodding slowly.“What You do ” the doctor asked with doubt,sitting back in his chair.“Yes,I had a dream,” I told him.“That’s why I came in for a check.”
It was a long road with surgery,chemo,and radiation.However,I trusted the dream completely.It gave me hope and a positive attitude.I still keeping positive about everything.I fought back,prayed frequently,and was finally able to swim to the light.It’s been eleven years,and I’m still doing well.Cancer changed my perspective.I’ve met some wonderful people because of it,and I’ve witnessed and received unbelievable kindnesses.Best of all,I have had the opportunity to pay it forward and help others on similar journeys.And in case you’re wondering about Sandy,she is doing well,too!
