If you are a sci-fi movie fan,there are some sci-fi films that are worth seeing.
Stowaway
Stowaway is the story of a mission to Mars and a spaceship that has too many passengers.With the journey planned for only a certain number of people,well,you can see where this is headed.This sci-fi movie directed by Joe Penna takes us on a journey we will be able to risk.
Robopocalypse
David H.Wilson,author of 2011’s Robopocalypse,has been compared to sci-fi writers like Michael Crichton and Robert A.Heinlein.The film tells the story of a robot named AIX in the near future.It has the face of a pure (纯真的) child,but its heart is not pure.One day,he took control of the global network and directed the machines and weapons (武器) made by human beings to fight against human beings.Steven Spielberg was in charge of this film for years until it changed hands in 2017 to director Michael Bay.
Voyagers
The biggest problem with space travel is the long distance.In Voyagers,30 men and women go on a multi-generational voyage in search of a new home.The mission gradually gets into madness.The people don’t know if the real threat they face is what’s outside the ship or who they’re becoming inside it.The film’s director Neil Burger describes the film as Lord of the Flies for a new generation.
After Yang
Based on Alexander Weinstein’s short story Saying Goodbye to Yang,this film is set in the future where robotic children help raise human children as a live-in help.But when one robotic family member,Yang,becomes non-responsive,a father and daughter will do everything they can to save its life.Starring Collin Ferrell and directed by Kogonada (director of Columbus),this could be one of the smartest sci-fi films.

Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater,employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups.It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history.This time,however,the cleanup was a little different.As one group of workers carried out the rubbish,another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.
The classic film The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater.Though the movie is 30 years old,most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say goodbye to the old building.Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed proper.The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.
Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete.He added that the theater’s location (位置) was also a reason.“This used to be the center of town,” he said.“Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”
Some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place.However,these plans were given up because of financial problems.Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm,which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.
The theater audience said goodbye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time.After 75 years,the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie.The theater will be missed.

Ever wonder how Mark Ruffalo becomes The Hulk Or how directors make Rocket and Groot look so lifelike in Avengers:Endgame These movie characters come to life through a process called motion capture (动作捕捉).Here’s what you need to know about motion capture in movies.
Motion capture,or mo-cap,is a process in which an actor’s performance is captured and then used to create a CGI character.The actions of people are recorded and this information is used to create a 3D digital model.The movements are scanned many times per second and are broadcast to the digital environment.As a result,the character reproduces the human’s movements in real time.
In the early days of the process,motion capture filming was done in special studios equipped with cameras placed throughout the room.When an actor moved,the cameras tracked the sensors on the suit and relayed(转播) the movements to a computer.Animators(动画制作者) then created the digital character from those movements and inserted the final version into the film.
Directors quickly began to adopt the technology for high profile(影响力) projects like Star Wars:Episode 1 — The Phantom Menace,The Lord of the Rings,and Avatar.Now many productions use the technique,like the Marvel Cinematic Universe,the Star Wars saga,and the Planet of the Apes films.
Now performance capture,an updated technology of mo-cap,can even capture an actor’s facial movements and expressions.For performance capture,an actor’s face is filmed from a camera fitted onto their suit’s headpiece(头盔),dots are also placed around their face to digitally track their facial movements.
As the variety of high-quality motion capture systems available in the film industry increases,and their cost and complexity to use decreases,the technology is becoming more accessible in the near future.
28.Why does the author mention the film characters in the first paragraph
A.To recommend some interesting films.
B.To arouse readers’ interest in the characters.
C.To introduce the topic of motion capture.
D.To compare the differences of the movies.
29.What do paragraphs 3 to 5 mainly talk about
A.The advantages of animation.
B.The operation of special effect studios.
C.The development of motion capture.
D.The creation of digital characters.
30.What can we learn about motion capture
A.Motion capture has been often used in movie industry.
B.Motion capture makes for the speed of movie relays.
C.All the films using motion capture are of high quality.
D.Sensors on the suit are key technology of motion capture.
31.The future of motion capture will probably be .
A.complex B.promising
C.uncertain D.worrying
D
US actor Brent Hill studied the violin for seven years during his childhood.But,now,he couldn’t make a sound out of it.His latest role as Dewey Finn in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical,School of Rock,in which he plays with 36 talented child musicians,reminds him of his time as an instrumentalist.
Hill shared his story on arriving in Beijing.School of Rock is being staged in Beijing from March 22 until April 14 on its debut China tour.The musical staged its world premiere on Broadway in 2015.
The musical is based on the successful 2003 Hollywood comedy,starring Jack Black.The plot follows Dewey Finn,a failed rock star forced to make money as a substitute teacher at a private elementary school,where he turns a class of straight-A students into a rock band.
“The role,Dewey,is the biggest kid.I am a big kid in real life,so this part is not challenge.When I got the role,I did the exact same thing as Dewey who is a loser,” Hill says.“Working with child actors is exciting.”
Thousands of kids auditioned(试镜).Three-and-a-half months later,36 made the cut.Samantha Zhang plays the role of Katie.She has practiced piano for seven years and violin for four but had to learn to play bass for the musical.“No many girls play bass.It’s so cool,and I feel like a rock star,” says the 13-year-old,who made her musical-theater debut in 2014.It’s the first time for the girl,who lives in Sydney with her Chinese parents,to visit China.
Webber became interested in the movie.He wrote 12 new songs.Hill says it’s difficult to get Black’s acting out of his subconsciousness(潜意识).However,Webber’s songs enable Hill to make the role his own.
“School of Rock is about how music reaches and transforms everyone’s life especially children,” Webber said.“When the substitute teacher turned the straight-A student class into a rock band,it changed his life and theirs forever.”
32.What caused Hill to realize he was an unsuccessful violinist
A.His latest role as Dewey Finn.
B.His childhood sufferings.
C.Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical.
D.36 talented child musicians’ performance.
33.Why did Brent Hill play the role successfully
A.He is the biggest child in his family.
B.He has staged the musical many times.
C.He liked to work with child actors.
D.He had the same experience as Dewey Finn.
34.What do we know about Samantha Zhang
A.She has little talent for music. B.She enjoys her role of Katie.
C.She made her debut in China. D.She was born in China.
35.What can we learn from the text
A.Musicals lead to one’s success.
B.Webber’s new songs make little sense.
C.Music has significant effects in life.
D.Hill has performed in many musicals successfully.

Environmental clubs are a great way to help the environment and hang out with friends.Read to get step-by-step instructions on how to start a high school environmental club.
Choose a cause.Some good ideas might be something like,“Save the dolphins!” or “Stop global warming!” 36 .For example,“save the dolphins” might not be a good idea if you live ten hours to the nearest dolphin location,whereas “keep our school clean” would work anywhere.
Decide on jobs. 37 .Some you could include are a recruiter (招募员),an activity manager,a project manager and the president who decides all the meeting times,meeting places,activities,and projects.
38 .Your club should have some fun activities to do to remind them what they are fighting for.These could be hikes in the forest or watching environmental movies.Only do these once a month,or the group may become too passive.
Do projects. At your meetings,decide on a few projects,and do them.When you’re done with the few projects,decide on a few more.In addition,you can always redo projects if you think they were not successful. 39 ,or don’t print them at all because recycling still pollutes the environment.

One Saturday afternoon,I was watching TV in the living room with my grandpa when a blinding flash of lightning flashed across the sky,followed by a deafening sound,and the pictures on TV disappeared with that sound.Before I realized what had happened,a gray-white shadow rushed in through the open window and flew over my head.Bang!It hit the wall and slid off to the floor.Shaking with fear,I approached it cautiously and saw that it was a pigeon.It looked at me in fear,trying to open its wings and struggling its feet,but apparently powerless.
So I called my grandpa and immediately set out to give it a helping hand.Taking it in my hands,I felt a few drops of warmth on my hands.It was blood!I gently spread its wings and there were a few red feathers inside.“Don’t worry.We’ll get it out alive,” Grandpa said to me.Then he got the first-aid kit.With some cotton,we dried the blood,cleaned the wound and then put it under a hairdryer to dry.All went smoothly,for the pigeon had no strength left to resist.There happened to be an empty birdcage at home,so I put it in gently and added a little water and some grains.
For the next few days,the moment I got home from school,I would run to feed the pigeon.And Grandpa helped a lot,tidying up the cage daily.Little by little,its strength returned.One evening,I fed it with the biscuit I was eating.It enjoyed it!One week later,its wound almost healed (痊愈);its feathers grew and it became brave.Whenever I sat at the table eating biscuits,it looked up at me,cooing (咕咕地叫) constantly.To my joy,I could also reach into the cage to touch it.When I gently fingered its head,it playfully pecked (啄) at me.Finally it completely recovered.But every time I was with it,it seemed restless in the cage.To make it happy and pretty,I tied an orange string (线) around its leg.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
One day,however,when I returned home,Grandpa met me at the door,looking embarrassed.
Sure enough,I saw a pigeon flying into the house the next afternoon!

M:In West Africa and Australia,there exists an unusual tree called the baobab.It’s a strange-looking tree.Its huge trunk sometimes measures as much as ten metres in diameter.It is thicker at the bottom than at the top.The branches near the ground are very long;those near the top are very short.It may look strange,but it is extremely useful.Its leaves are good for eating.Its white flowers turn into cool,juicy fruits which taste rather like cucumbers.There are such strong fibres in the skin of the trunk that people can make rope and cloth from them.When a baobab gets old,its trunk becomes empty inside.An old tree’s empty inside space can be huge enough to hold many people.The local people even build their houses inside these trunks.When it rains,water collects in the trunk and remains cool and fresh because of such a lot of leaves and branches.

第二节
One day,however,when I returned home,Grandpa met me at the door,looking embarrassed.I asked him what had happened.He turned around and pointed to the birdcage,apologizing to me that the pigeon slid out when he was tidying up the cage and flew away through the open window.Gone!I couldn’t believe my ears.I rushed over to the birdcage.Just empty!I stared at the remaining water and grains,tears streaming down my cheeks.“Where has it gone Will it be hurt again Will it come back ...” I asked Grandpa,sobbing.“It will fly back!” he convinced me,wiping away my tears gently.
Sure enough,I saw a pigeon flying into the house the next afternoon! It perched near the birdcage,cooing.Despite great excitement,I approached it quietly.It was gray-white and had an orange string tied to one leg.My pigeon came back!“It must be hungry,” Grandpa grinned.Immediately,I fed it with grains and then tiptoed to the window and closed it,urging Grandpa to cage it.But he didn’t.“Pigeons need freedom,” he explained to me patiently.I was hesitant,but looking at the pigeon wandering and pecking at the grains peacefully,I realized Grandpa was right!I turned back to the window and opened it.模块综合测评(一)

Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times.Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for science,one of the highest honors in the world.Some women scientists never married,some worked with their husbands,and others raised large families.It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.
In the early 1800s in England,Mary Anning became one of the first women recognised for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth.Mary and her father collected fossils in their village on the south coast of Great Britain.Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.
When she was only twelve years old,Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons of several animals that no longer existed on earth.She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.
In 1891,a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska travelled to Paris to study physics.She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland.She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie.Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together.They received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903 along with another scientist.Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911,this time for chemistry.Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist.

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

Terry Evanshen was one of Canadian football’s greatest receivers.He played every down (进攻) as if it was his last.Though he had made great achievements,Terry’s memories of his playing days have been completely lost.
It was in the summer of 1988 after he retired from playing that his career in sales was taking off.One day in July,Terry,on his way home from work,had a terrible car accident.He was knocked unconscious,and within minutes he was rushed to the nearby hospital.
Three weeks later,he woke up.However,it became obvious that Terry’s injuries were far more serious than whatever damage had been done to his body.A lifetime of memories had been completely wiped clean.He had been all but reduced to the level of a baby;everything from his ability to talk and walk to his understanding of what it meant to be a husband and a father was all gone.
At age 44,Terry Evanshen would be starting all over again.Luckily he had the support of his family,helped by small victories and a renewed bond between him and his three daughters like when they taught him how to play football again.
In 1992,his recovery really began to pick up steam.It has taken years to rebuild his shattered (破碎的) life,but today,more than 20 years since his playing days,Terry is a popular public speaker.He tells his story of perseverance (坚持不懈) and courage.“Never forget,we’re all in this game of life together.We will get to the finishing line,one day at a time,one moment at a time,but celebrate the journey.Seize today,because yesterday is gone and is never coming back.” As the subject of the most watched Canadian movie of 2005,The Man Who Lost Himself,Evanshen says his family has been his most important treasure.He refuses to be a victim,saying he is a survivor.
28.In 1988,Evanshen was .
A.a businessman B.a public speaker
C.a football player D.a father of two daughters
29.After the car accident happened,what was the worst thing for Evanshen

D.He lost his memories and all his ability.

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.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For many years,I had a recurring (重复出现的) dream.I was a little girl again,rushing about,trying to get ready for school.
“Hurry,you’ll be late for school,” my mother called to me.
“I am hurrying,Mom!What did I do with my books ”
Deep inside I knew where the dream came from.It was about some unfinished business in my life.As a kid,I loved everything about school.I loved books,teachers,tests and homework.Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle (通道) to receive my diploma.That seemed more appealing even than getting married.
But at 15,I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition (学费).My hope of getting a diploma was dead,or so I thought.Pretty soon,I married and had three children,and I thought,“There goes my diploma.”
Even so,I wanted my children to be educated.But Linda,our youngest child,had juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees,which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom.I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret.I didn’t give up hope of her being back to school in some way.
One day,I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses.“That’s the answer,” I said to myself.Linda always feels better in the evening,so I’ll just sign her up for night school.
Linda was busy filling out enrollment (入学) forms when the secretary said,“Mrs Schantz,why don’t you come back to school ”
I laughed,“There’s no way!I’m 55!” But he persisted,and before I knew what I had done,I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts.“This is only an experiment,” I warned him,but he just smiled.So,I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work.Anyway,my dream was still there in my heart.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
It was exciting to go to school again but
Linda and I saw each other through the time.

W:Then what
M:Well,I got back in my car and started driving towards where the strange machine had landed.
W:Perhaps you only saw the light of an airplane,or the headlights of a car coming closer.Things like that happen,you know.
M:I kept driving for about 5 minutes when suddenly,a huge animal jumped out in front of my car.
W:Oh,yeah.Then what
M:Then,the animal picked the front of my car and said “Get out of the car.I’m taking you to my master.” Something like that.
W:Wow!An animal can speak English!Come on!
M:Then,the animal opened the car door,carried me on his shoulder to this round flying machine,and well...
W:OK,that’s enough.

Ladies and gentleman,thank you very much.I won’t take much of your time,thank you.Jayal Motors has decided to move into the export business.Now,we weren’t sure until late yesterday afternoon about this decision.I didn’t tell you anything before that because we had to make research on the market first.Now then,I went to Australia to see if I could get us an export market.Two days ago we got word that we had got our first export order:100 bikes,delivery in two months.Now you all know the situation on the home market.We’re a small company.The big companies are moving into the provinces and putting small firms like us out of business.We have got to expand,and we can’t afford to lose this chance.We can’t afford to make any mistakes.

It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game.Sitting in a classroom full of kids was awkward,even if most of them were respectful and encouraging.During the day,I was still a busy married woman having loads of housework to do.In the evening,I was a hardworking student working on my courses.To my surprise,both Linda and I did very well in night school.I went back again the next semester,and my grades steadily improved.
Linda and I saw each other through the time.When I was down,Linda encouraged me.“Mom,you can’t quit now!” And when she was down,I encouraged her.I have to say it was a time which was really hard on both of us.But neither of us gave up.At last,I got my diploma.To my surprise,almost all of my classmates voted for me to be the class speaker,and I got a $3,000 college scholarship.The unfinished business in my dream was eventually finished.模块综合测评(二)

The United States has more tornadoes (龙卷风) than any other country in the world.In a normal year there are 800 to 1,000 tornadoes.Most happen in the middle part of the country.Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet.In the Midwest the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.
The usual tornado season is March through May.Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening.There is often no warning of a tornado.People who live in the Midwest know the signs of tornado activity.The sky becomes dark,often a greenish colour.Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail (冰).Suddenly,there is a loud sound,like a train or a jet plane.Sometimes,two,three,five,ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area.
This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999.The day was stormy,with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon.As the storms continued,tornadoes began to form.Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighbourhoods in Oklahoma,then in Kansas.Some stayed on the ground for several hours,destroying everything they touched.The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others.They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses.In some areas,not one home stood.In other areas,the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of the street,but didn’t touch any homes on the right side.The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth.So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado.

For centuries,people wondered how big the earth was.Unfortunately,although the earth was flat,no one was able to figure out its size.Gradually,however,people began to realise that the earth was really round.
Then,in the third century BCE (2,300 years ago),a Greek man named Eratosthenes had an idea.Eratosthenes was sure that the earth was a sphere.He used the sun and geometry (几何学) to figure out the size of the earth .He calculated that the circumference (圆周) of the earth was 28,600 miles(46,000 kilometres).The true size of the earth is 25,000 miles (40,000 kilometres).
Eratosthenes’ measurement was wrong,but it was very close to the truth.
For many centuries after Eratosthenes lived,people made maps of the earth.However,they did not know very much about the world outside of Europe,Asia,and North Africa.Mapmakers could not draw accurate maps of the earth until people began travelling around the world in the fifteenth century,mapping small areas each time.In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,people began making correct maps of countries,but the first accurate maps of the world were not made until the 1890s.
Maps today are reliable(可依靠的),inexpensive,and easy to understand.People depend on maps every day.What would our lives be like without them
24.A sphere is a .
A.large shape B.planet
C.ball shape D.member of the sun family
25.Which of the following can replace the underlined part “figure out”
A.Look for. B.Calculate.
C.Make out. D.Understand.
26.The first correct maps of the world were made .
A.in the 15th century B.in the 18th century
C.in the 19th century D.in the 20th century
27.When did map makers begin to draw correct maps of the earth
A.When people began to travel around the world.
B.When people knew the size of the earth.
C.When people knew the shape of the earth.
D.Before people travelled around the world.

A strange object was found in a small city called Carlos Spegazzini,just a short drive from the capital city of Buenos Aires.
When farmer Jose first found an odd scene in his farmland,he began to dig at the object.However,he quickly found himself running to tell his wife.Jose needed more support if he was going to investigate this strange thing.
Even the dog was hesitant to investigate.Unfamiliar with the object,man’s best friend was not about to jump at it with little concern.Therefore,they chose to call in somebody who has a better idea of what to do.
When the police first showed up,they were just as stumped as Jose.They knew this object was something out of the ordinary.It might even be something extraordinary,so more questions appeared.
It quickly became apparent,it was time to call in the big guys.That’s right;when you find something that appears to be out-of-this-world,it’s time to call in those who study the mysteries of the old world.
Authorities called in archaeologists who jumped at the chance to study the object.They quickly determined one thing was for certain:the ancient big one that left this behind was absolutely massive! The group was unable to move the shell,as it weighed nearly two tons!
Clearly,this massive beast was not the only of its kind existing in the modern-day world.Similar fossils had been found in the surrounding areas and had even made their way to museums.But what was the ancient beast
28.What is the right order of the events
a.Jose found a strange object and began to dig.
b.Jose and his wife called the police.
c.Jose ran to tell his wife.

C.acbde D.abced
29.What does the underlined word “stumped” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Both the police and Jose were unfamiliar with the object and did not know what to do.
B.The police knew this object was something out-of-this-world as Jose did.
C.The police and Jose all liked to collect stamps.
D.The police were just as stupid as Jose.
30.According to the passage,when we find something that appears to be out-of-this-world,we should .
A.run to our family and friends
B.call the police
C.call in those who study the mysteries of the world
D.ignore and leave it behind

When almost everyone has a mobile phone,why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline(座机)
These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone.In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket.Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere,anytime.
Still,55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones,according to a survey(调查).Of those Australians who still have a landline,a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone.Age is naturally a factor(因素) — only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then,compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families,like my wife and I,can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member.That said,to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents,to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries
32.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones
A.Their target users.
B.Their wide popularity.
C.Their major functions.
D.Their complex design.
33.What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Admit. B.Argue.
C.Remember. D.Remark.
34.What can we say about Baby Boomers
A.They like smartphone games.
B.They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.
C.They keep using landline phones.
D.They are attached to their family.
35.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph
A.It remains a family necessity.
B.It will fall out of use some day.
C.It may increase daily expenses.
D.It is as important as the gas light.

Small talk is a good way to make friends.If you travel to other countries or have friends from abroad,do you know how to use small talk to make a conversation
In Britain,the best topic is weather.British weather is changing all the time. 36
Besides weather,it’s good to talk about gardens with British.You could say “Those roses look really beautiful,don’t they ” 37 So it’s also nice to start with “What a lovely dog! What is his name ”
In America,people like to talk about sports news,such as American football and basketball. 38 So you might say “It’s a nice shirt! Where did you get it ” Weather is a safe topic there,too.
39 Don’t ask people “How old are you ” Never ask “How much money do you make ” It makes people uncomfortable.Don’t ask strangers whether they are married. 40 There are others in our daily life.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My mom only had one eye.I hated her.She was such an embarrassment.
She ran a small shop at a flea market and collected old clothes and some other things to sell for the money we needed.Once during elementary school,it was field day,and my mom came.I was so embarrassed and wondered how could she do this to me I threw her a hateful look and ran out.The next day at school,my schoolmates asked me,“Your mom only has one eye ” and laughed at me.
I was so angry with my mom and wished that she would just disappear from this world.So I said to my mom,“Why don’t you have the other eye You’re only gonna make me a joke!” My mom trembled with shock,and said in an apologetic tone,“I’m so sorry that I only have one eye,and I was an embarrassment for you.But I was so proud of my son to see a whole new world for me with that eye. I will leave right now.Sorry!” My mom turned around and staggered away.
For the words I had said to her earlier,there was something biting at me in the corner of my heart.Even so,I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty.Maybe because my mom hadn’t punished me,I didn’t think I had hurt her feelings very badly.
I told myself that I would become successful in the near future,so I studied very hard.Later I got accepted by the Seoul University.I left my mother and came to Seoul to study.I never went back to visit my mom.
Then I got married there.I bought a house of my own.Then I had kids,too.Now I am living happily as a successful man.I enjoy the life in Seoul because it’s a place that doesn’t remind me of my mom and my past.This kind of happiness was getting bigger and bigger,until one day someone knocked at my door.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
It was my mom! And still with her one eye!
Holding the letter,I cried for the person who only lived for me.

附:听力原文
(Text 1)
W:You said you’re going to take a vacation at the end of June.
M:Yes.I’m planning to go to Hawaii for a week.
W:Well,I can’t have a break until the end of August.
(Text 2)
W:Alvin,are you coming to the party with me
M:I wish I could,but something unexpected has come up.
W:No wonder you look so concerned.I hope it’s nothing serious.
(Text 3)
W:Did you like photography when you were a child
M:Yes.I have been interested in it since the age of nine.For me,a holiday is always about exploration—about finding beauty and the unknown and taking photos of them.
(Text 4)
W:British food seems to have such a bad reputation.I often hear foreigners say that British food is tasteless and boring.
M:Not at all.Our tradition of slow cooking roast is second to none.And it’s also very healthy.
(Text 5)
W:Hey! You overslept again.
M:Is it morning already I stayed up really late trying to get a paper written yesterday evening.It’s due this afternoon.
(Text 6)
M:I’m back.
W:Hi,Tony.Just a moment,there were a couple of calls for you while you were out.A woman named Melissa phoned.She said she couldn’t make it to the meeting tomorrow.
M:Any other messages
W:Yeah.Someone called about the apartment in the town center.His name is Jackie,but he didn’t leave his number.
M:Didn’t Angelica call me
W:Yeah.She called about the party tonight.She wanted you to phone her back.And a guy called Simon said he would return your call at around 5:00.
(Text 7)
M:Jennifer,can you help me put this software program in my computer I followed the directions,but I still can’t get it right.
W:I am sorry,but I have to prepare some meeting materials because I have a weekly meeting at 10:00.It should be finished by 1:30.
M:Oh,I am supposed to have this report finished by noon.What should I do with it
W:You should check to see if Anderson is free.He is good at that.
(Text 8)
W:One day I’d like to buy an electric car.They’re much cleaner than petrol cars.But I’m not sure if I’ll see many on the road in the near future.
M:But you can already buy them.
W:Really
M:Sure,and they have the most powerful type of engine.Unfortunately they’re much more expensive than petrol cars.But what makes me anxious is that when they’re cheaper,more people will buy them.With more cars on the road,we’ll have more traffic jams,especially at eight in the morning.It’s the worst time of the day.
W:Yes.I try to avoid the rush hour now.I leave home before seven.
M:In Melbourne,drivers are not allowed to park cars along busy roads during rush hours to create an extra passage for traffic.This town needs better public transport.The buses don’t go to the right places.And they are always late.Last week I waited for a No.29 bus for over an hour.
(Text 9)
W:Zoltan,you’re studying snakes all around the world.So,you have to travel a lot.Do you ever take holidays
M:No,not often.My work is also my hobby.I’ve been to Paris,Rome,to the Pyramids and I went sightseeing there but it was always because my work took me there.For my last trip I was in Sudan and I went looking for snakes.
W:But you must take a holiday sometimes.
M:Well,once or twice I have traveled to places not connected to snakes.For example,I spent a holiday in the Seychelles with some friends.They enjoyed the beach and the markets while I went diving with my underwater camera.
W:Is that your most important thing when you travel—your camera
M:Yes,my camera and my sleeping bag.With a sleeping bag,you can sleep anywhere you want.
W:So,do you ever stay in hotels
M:If I go with friends,I might stay at a hotel or a guesthouse,but normally I’m on my own so I rarely book a hotel in advance.I can fall asleep in a sleeping bag anytime and everywhere.
(Text 10)
I hope you’ re all enjoying your new jobs here at the college.Now I’d like to tell you a little about our staff development training programs.To begin with,we expect you to attend team meetings.These take place in the last week of each term.They will give you the chance to share experience with colleagues,discuss problems and inform us of any training requirements.If training is required,the college will pay the costs.The members of staff who attend training sessions will be asked to complete a form about their experiences and to share them with their colleagues at their next team meeting.The all-college training days take place twice a year and are held over an entire day.Members of staff can choose from kinds of events that they’d like to attend.You’ll get a lot of fresh information through them.Most importantly,our all-college training programs make sure our students get excellent service from us.Finally,each team will be given the chance to enjoy an “away day”.These are full-day events,sometimes held at a hotel or a holiday center.However,most teams like to spend the day doing activities such as ice-skating,or rock climbing,so we plan to spend the “away day” in the Forest Park this year.And the college covers all the costs for these events.

41.D 句意:Angela过去会“飞”。她用脚做翅膀,比任何人跑得都要快。
42.D 句意:但是现在,她想:“我比任何人都要慢。”她是最后一个走下公交车的。根据后句“She was the last to get off the school bus”可知,她是最后一个下车的,所以她走得很慢。

48.B 由于Angela是第一次学习滑雪,所以她们应该是来到了初学者雪道。
49.A 句意:整个早晨,Angela都是爬起来然后摔倒,滑行然后摔倒,转弯然后摔倒。由此可知Angela刚开始学,经常摔倒。
50.B 句意:她感到很失望,很绝望。sensitive“敏感的”;hopeless“无希望的,绝望的”;energetic“精力充沛的”;confident“自信的”。
51.A 句意:幸运的是,Angel跟着Laurie成功地滑下小山而没有摔倒。
52.A frightened“(感到)害怕的”;moved“感动的”;excited“激动的”;interested“感兴趣的”。根据后句可知,Angela很害怕。

55.D 句意:越来越快,越来越快。就好像在飞一样。倒数第二段中的“Try to be Flying Angel again.”也有所提示。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了西方第一位成为内科医生的女性伊丽莎白·布莱克威尔的求学与工作经历。
56.nineteenth 考查序数词。句意:在19世纪中期,对于女性来说那几乎是不可能的事情。某一个世纪是按照顺序排序下来的,所以空格处应使用序数词。故填nineteenth。
57.admission 考查名词。句意:她给医学学校写了很多信请求能够被录取,最终她被费城一名医生接受了。空格位于两个介词之间,所以应用名词形式。admit(承认,准许)的名词形式为admission,故填admission。
58.was accepted 考查动词的时态及语态。句子主语she与accept之间是被动关系,所以使用被动语态。根据上文可知,本文是对于伊丽莎白·布莱克威尔事迹的描述,所以这句话应使用一般过去时。故填was accepted。
59.determined 考查形容词。句意:她如此意志坚定,以至于她通过教书、上音乐课来获得她上学的费用。空处位于be动词was后作表语,所以空格处应填形容词。表示某人“意志坚定”,应使用-ed形式的形容词。故填determined。
60.for 考查介词。“上学用的钱”是表达钱的目的,所以可以使用介词for表示(对象、用途等)给,为了。故填for。
61.medical 考查形容词。句意:1849年,从医学学校毕业后,她决定去巴黎深造。空处位于介词from后,名词school前,所以应使用形容词。medicine(药)的形容词为medical(医学的),故填medical。
62.returning 考查非谓语动词。句意:返回美国后,她发现因为她是女性,开始她的工作是很难的。空处位于介词upon后,并且return(返回)是动词,所以应使用动名词作宾语。故填returning。
63.it 考查代词。这里found后真正的宾语是不定式to start her own practice,所以空处应使用人称代词it作形式宾语。故填 it。
64.a 考查不定冠词。句意:到1857年,伊丽莎白与她的姐姐(也是一名医生)连同另外一名女医生一起,开办了一家新医院,第一个专门为妇女和孩子开设的医院。new hospital(新医院)在文中第一次出现,所以应使用不定冠词修饰。new是以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
65.being 考查非谓语动词。句意:另外,作为第一位女性内科医生,她建立了自己的医院,还为女性开办了第一所医学学校。句子主语she与空处单词be之间是主动关系,所以应使用现在分词作状语。故填being。

第一节
Dear Tom,
An earthquake may hit our area at any time.Do you know what to do in an earthquake Let me tell you.
During an earthquake,if you are outside,you must keep away from buildings,trees and other dangerous things.If you are inside,you must stay in a corner,or get under a desk or a table.If you are trapped in the ruins,please be calm and wait for the rescue team to help.After an earthquake,you should check everything in your house,and see whether gas pipes,water pipes,and electric lines are OK.You must keep the telephone wire clear.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
It was my mom!And still with her one eye!Reminded instantly of my dark past and embarrassment,I felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me.Overwhelmed with rage,I growled at her,“Who are you How dare you come to my house!” My mom narrowed her eye and opened her mouth but nothing came out there.Dead silence! Tears streaming down the gloomy wrinkled face,she thrust a letter into my hand,turned around and staggered away,head deep down.Heart stung by her withered back,I just cast a glance at the letter.My mom gave that eye to me! My world shattered.
Holding the letter,I cried for the person who only lived for me. How she wanted her own son to see the world clearly! But how deeply I had hurt her! Heart knotted with deep regret,I called out loudly,“Mom!” I ran after my mom,grabbed her and knelt down.“Mom,would you forgive me and accept me again ” Tears dried and a smile of forgiving stole into her cheeks.It’s never too old-fashioned to say mom’s love is the greatest in the world.
