Katherine Johnson,a brilliant mathematician at NASA (美国宇航局),began working on the space program in the 1950s.Many of NASA’s first missions were made possible by her amazing calculations (计算).
As a child,she loved to count.Her father placed great importance on education and insisted all four of his children go to college,working overtime to pay for it.Johnson said this atmosphere was important to her success.“I was always around people who were learning something.I liked to learn,” she said.
Johnson graduated from high school at 14 and college at 18.In 1953,Johnson started to work for NASA,doing the math that powered engineers’ work.Then,because of her outstanding talent,she was moved to work on rockets with an all-male flight research team.As for Johnson,her calculations contributed to many of NASA’s most important projects.In 1961,with the help of Johnson’s work,Alan Shepherd became the first American to go into space.Johnson also lent her unbelievable talent to the success of the Apollo 13,which had trouble getting back to Earth.She worked hard to calculate a safe path back to Earth for the astronauts.
Johnson retired in 1986,but her huge contribution to the space program has only been reaching the public attention for the past few years.Part of that is because,as she is the first to admit,science is based on collaboration.“I never took any credit because we always worked as a team,it was never just one person,” she said in a 2010 interview.
Earlier this year,NASA named a new data center after her.She was also given a Silver Snoopy award,which recognises “outstanding performance,contributing to flight safety and mission success.”
24.The author explains Johnson’s help to NASA by .
A.giving reasons B.showing numbers
C.providing examples D.comparing differences
25.What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean
A.Experience. B.Teamwork.
C.Research. D.Talent.
26.What can we infer from the passage about Johnson
A.She travelled to space with the Apollo 13.
B.She lived a rich life when she was young.
C.She has been widely-known since her retirement.
D.She used to be the only lady in the research team.
27.What is the passage mainly about
A.Johnson’s great contribution to NASA.
B.Respectable awards honored to Johnson.
C.The importance of education for Johnson.
D.NASA’s achievements in exploring space.
C
Life can bring us down from time to time.At some point,you may find yourself in what you will consider as your darkest hour.As you try to find your way out of that bad situation,you should try to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful.
If you look at your situation now and compare it with someone who is in much deeper trouble than you,I am sure that you’ll find something to be thankful for.We all have our share of problems.But complaining about them so much only makes us blind about the fact that there are the miracles that happen around us every day.
When all your needs are provided,then you should be content and happy.If you have a roof over your head,some decent (得体的) clothes to wear,enough food on the table,a comfortable place to sleep,clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices then you should be happy and grateful.Many people all around the world,especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries would give anything to be in your conditions.
Even if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason,as long as you are still alive,then everything material you have lost can be regained again.If you have a few good friends who will be there to support or help you,then be glad because true friends are hard to find.As long as you have someone to love and someone to love you back,then you are a very fortunate person.Remember to be patient and trust that things will get better.
28.What’s the author’s advice for those people faced with difficulties
A.They should believe in miracles to happen.
B.They should take a grateful attitude to life.
C.They should have confidence in themselves.
D.They should remind themselves to keep calm.
29.According to the author,complaints about our sufferings only result in .
A.being teased by others B.taking everything for granted
C.having doubts about self-value D.ignoring the good things in life
30.What can we infer from paragraph 3
A.People should try to make a difference.
B.People should be satisfied with what they have.
C.People should work hard to gain what they want.
D.People should practice kindness to those in need.
31.What does the author intend to tell us
A.It’s not so easy to make a living.
B.It’s important to have faith in life.
C.Show appreciation of what we have.
D.Never compare ourselves with others.

I enjoyed English,biology,and chemistry at school,but which one should I choose to study at university I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to do some research on great women of China.
By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi,a specialist in women’s diseases.She lived from 1901 to 1983.It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career,travelling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles.One of them caught my eye.It was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies.She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean,healthy and free from sickness.Why did she write that Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice I looked carefully at the text and realised that it was intended for women in the countryside.Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.
Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time.That was a generation when girls’ education was always placed second to boys’.Was she so much cleverer than anyone else Further reading made me realise that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school.What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients.There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi,tired after a day’s work,went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.
By now I could not wait to find out more about her.I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi had devoted her whole life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own.Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered.By this time I was very excited.Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work It was still not too late for me to improve my studies,prepare for the university entrance examinations,and...
32.The writer was a when she wrote this article.
A.nurse B.college student
C.high school student D.student on computer
33.The underlined sentence in paragraph 3 is intended to show .
A.that Lin Qiaozhi often worked late into the night
B.that Lin Qiaozhi was a specialist in delivering babies
C.that Lin Qiaozhi often treated her patients without pay
D.that Lin Qiaozhi’s kindness and consideration to her patients
34.From the passage,we see that .
A.it was Lin Qiaozhi’s success that made her famous
B.the writer is determined to follow Lin Qiaozhi’s career
C.Lin Qiaozhi wasn’t able to go to school when she was a child
D.the writer regrets not having chosen to study at medical college
35.The writer mainly wants to in this passage.
A.share with us the information about Lin Qiaozhi
B.show her determination to go to medical university
C.show it is convenient to find out information on the Internet
D.show the difficulty in choosing what kind of university to go to

When it comes to the question how to encourage students to achieve success,teachers may offer different answers based on their own teaching experience.Here are some suggestions.
Post your expectations around the room.
If a student does not understand what teachers expect from him,he will have a much greater chance of failure.From the first day of class your expectations should be clear.Many teachers post their class rules for all to see. 36 You can select posters with encouraging words that explain your expectations.
37
Make sure that you do not show any bias (偏见) towards students’ learning.If you believe that the students in your class can’t learn a subject well,they probably won’t. 38 Be careful about the words you use and make sure that you don’t make students feel that you doubt their abilities.You must believe strongly and sincerely that your students can and will learn what you are teaching them.
Allow students the space to learn on their own.
39 While you can provide guidance,as the year goes on,you should pull back and give them more responsibility for their own learning.You should avoid jumping right in and helping students by simply providing them with the answers to their questions. 40
A.Pay special attention to slower students.
B.Have a right attitude to students’ abilities.
C.It is also a great idea to put up your expectations.
D.A healthy teacher-parent relationship is necessary.
E.The way a teacher treats students is very important.
F.Students need to learn to become self-directed learners.
G.Instead,lead students to find the answers by themselves.

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。
One summer when I was ten years old,my brother and I received a wonderful gift—tennis rackets (球拍) and balls.We had never had the opportunity to play tennis,so this was exciting.However,there was one problem—the small town we lived in did not have a tennis court (网球场).
One Saturday morning my brother said,“Hey,I’ve got an idea.Let’s take our tennis rackets and balls to the school and hit the balls against the school building.”
“Great idea!Let’s go,” I agreed,not realizing what a lesson we would learn.
When we got to the school ground,no one was around,so we began hitting our balls against the side of the building.“I’ll hit it the first time,” my brother suggested,“then you hit it the next time.We’ll hit it back and forth to each other.” So we began taking turns hitting the ball,getting more confident with each hit.Actually,we became pretty good at returning the ball and we were hitting the ball higher and faster each time.Suddenly,the unexpected thing happened—the ball got out of control and went crashing through one of the upstairs windows,leaving lots of broken glass on the ground.We looked around and no one was in sight except there was a guard sitting there over a distance.
Quietly,I asked,“Now what should I do ”
“Well,” my brother answered,“no one saw us,except that old man down there.And he probably can’t see this far.”
“He probably doesn’t know who we are anyway... Let’s go home,” I added.
As we picked up the rest of our balls and went home,we discussed whether to tell Mom and Dad what had happened.Would we be punished for our mistakes Would every penny we had saved go to pay for the window Or just keep it a secret We thought about all these things all the way.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

24.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As for Johnson,her calculations contributed to many of NASA’s most important projects...which had trouble getting back to Earth.She worked hard to calculate a safe path back to Earth for the astronauts.”可知,作者列举了两个例子:1961年,在Johnson的帮助下,Alan Sheperd成为第一个进入太空的美国人;Johnson还为阿波罗13号的成功返回地球贡献了她令人难以置信的天赋。通过这两个例子作者说明了Johnson对NASA所做出的贡献很大,故选C项。
25.B 词义猜测题。根据下文的“‘I never took any credit because we always worked as a team,it was never just one person,’ she said in a 2010 interview.”可知,Johnson在2010年的一次采访中说:“我从来没有获得过任何荣誉,因为我们一直是一个团队,从来不只是一个人。”说明她很看重团队合作,由此推测她认为科学是建立在团队合作上的。故选B项。
26.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Then,because of her outstanding talent,she was moved to work on rockets with an all-male flight research team.”可知,由于她杰出的才能,她被调到一个全由男性组成的火箭飞行研究团队里。由此可以得出她过去是那个研究团队唯一的女性,故选D项。

30.B 推理判断题。通读第三段可知,作者告诉我们要知足常乐。因此选B项。
31.C 主旨大意题。本文告诉我们,我们要学会感恩,知足常乐,做一个快乐的人。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了“万婴之母”林巧稚的故事。
32.C 细节理解题。第一段第一句话提到作者困惑上大学时选何专业,由此可推断出作者当时应上高中。
33.D 推理判断题。“林巧稚常在忙碌一天后去为那些贫穷产妇接生”正是要展现她的体贴和奉献。
34.B 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work ”可知选B项。
35.A 推理判断题。这篇文章是一篇人物介绍,作者想要和我们分享一些关于林巧稚的事迹。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章是给老师们就如何引导学生走向成功提出的三条建议。
36.C 句意:很多老师会把班级规定贴在教室的墙上,把老师对学生的期望贴在墙上也是一个不错的主意。C项中的 expectations与本段的小标题一致。
37.B 根据本段的“...do not show any bias towards students’ learning”和“...make sure that you don’t make students feel that you doubt their abilities”可知,本段提到不要对学生的学习有偏见,不要表现出对学生的不信任。由此可以推知,本段的主旨是老师要对学生的能力持正确的态度。
38.E 上一句提到“如果你不相信你班的学生可以学好一门课,那么他们很可能真的学不好”。由此可知,老师对待学生的态度很重要。
39.F 本段的主旨是老师应该给学生留出自主学习的空间。F项中的“become self-directed learners”符合本段主旨。
40.G 上一句指出了老师们的错误做法:老师不应该介入学生的学习,直接告诉他们问题的答案。空格处应该说明老师们正确的做法:老师应该引导学生,让学生自己去寻找答案。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了双目失明且失聪的Tim 在飞机上得到 Clara Daly和其他乘客帮助的故事。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。主要叙述了有一次作者乘车时目睹的暖心好事。
56.being 考查非谓语动词。空格前面是介词about, 后面的动词应使用动词-ing形式, 因此应填being。
57.and 考查连词。结合前后句可知, 此处是并列关系, 故填并列连词and。
58.disappointed 考查形容词。本句的主语是some of them, 此处and连接两个并列成分, 再结合前面的形容词anxious可知, 此处也应该填一个形容词。故此处用disappointed表示他们中有些人感到失望。
59.to 考查介词。此处是一个固定短语next to, 意为“挨着”。
60.caught 考查动词时态。结合上下文的时态, 全文以一般过去时为主, 同时分析句意“一个骑自行车的男孩儿吸引了我的注意”可知, 应填caught。
61.to stop 考查非谓语动词。refuse后接动词作宾语时, 要用其不定式形式, 即refuse to do sth“拒绝做某事”。
62.riding 考查非谓语动词。根据空格前面的kept可知, 此处是keep doing sth结构, 意为“继续做某事”。故后面应使用动词-ing形式, 因此需将ride变成riding。
63.Did 考查一般疑问句。分析语境, 此处指司机问“有人在上一站丢失手提箱吗 ”。这是一个问句, 同时丢失东西的动作已经发生, 应用一般过去时, 因此填Did。
64.me/mine 考查代词。此题答案不唯一, 要根据语境仔细揣摩。此处的It如果指前面的suitcase的话, 那么此空需要使用名词性物主代词mine, 表示“那个箱子是我的”;如果指前面的anyone的话, 那么此空需要用I的宾格形式me, 表示“是我在上一站丢失了手提箱”。
65.suddenly 考查副词。由空格后面的动词became可知, 此处应用sudden的副词形式来修饰动词, 因此填suddenly。

第一节
Dear Jim,
It’s great to hear from you.I feel proud knowing your interest in Chinese history.
As for my favourite figure in Chinese history,it must be Wei Yuan,a great thinker in the late Qing Dynasty.He,in his book,Maps and Records of the World,introduced modern technologies and ideas to China.That opened our eyes to the world.In fact,he inspires me to major in English in college.
Interested in knowing more I can find you some books!Just let me know.
Cheers!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
But that decision was made the moment we walked into the house.As we were about to tell Mom what had happened,she asked first.Gathering the courage,we told her.“Oh,my goodness!” my mother said.After a short while,Dad came up and said,“Well,the first thing on Monday,you two have to talk to the headmaster and admit your mistake.You will probably have to pay for the window,but that is what you two should do.”
On Monday,my brother and I went to school.With our hearts beating wildly,we went to the headmaster and told the whole story.Smiling,he told us that he had known it from the school guard,and he was glad we were there.He said the school would repair the window,so we needn’t worry.“I am proud of you,” he continued.We felt proud too and learned it was good to be honest.第五单元测评

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Having lived in California until 1970,my family has felt a number of earthquakes.We have been fortunate,however,to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.
There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present.The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and,luckily,none is shown in the website.So,my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.
There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget.The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California.As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other.All three of us (my daughter,I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.
The second one was in 1963.Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California.The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the famous landmark.
My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church.As the building started to shake,I quickly headed for the door to go outside.I remember I said a little prayer—something like,“Help me get out of here in time,Dear Heavenly Father”.Minutes later,I was safe outside.
21.The author writes the passage mainly to tell us about .
A.a new film about an earthquake B.how to survive an earthquake
C.his three earthquake experiences D.how to save children in an earthquake
22.The earthquakes the author has experienced .
A.all caused bodily harm B.are all recorded in a website
C.all measured more than 6.0 D.all happened in California
23.What does the underlined part “the famous landmark” refer to
A.A church.
B.Disneyland.
C.A building destroyed by an earthquake.
D.The place where the author was born.
24.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the third earthquake
A.It happened in the author’s sixties.
B.The author succeeded in getting outside.
C.When it happened,the author was in a church.
D.The author was too afraid to walk when it happened.
B
It’s a good idea for families to talk about what they would do to escape a fire.You’ll want to know how to escape from a fire,so let’s start here.
An escape plan can help every member of a family get out of a burning house.The idea is to get outside quickly and safely.Smoke from a fire can make it hard to see where things are,so it’s important to learn and remember the different ways out of your home.If you live in an apartment building,you’ll want to know the best way to the stair or other emergency exits.If you’re in a room with the door closed when the fire breaks out,you need to take a few extra steps:
Check to see if there’s heat or smoke coming in the cracks (裂缝) around the door.
If you don’t see smoke—touch the door.If the door is hot or very warm—don’t open the door!
If you don’t see smoke and the door is not hot—then use your fingers to lightly touch the doorknob (门把手).If the doorknob is hot or very warm—don’t open the door!
If the doorknob feels cool,and you can’t see any smoke around the door,you can open the door very carefully and slowly.When you open the door,if you feel a burst of heat,or smoke pours into the room,quickly shut the door and make sure it is really closed.If there’s no smoke or heat when you open the door,go toward your escape route exit.
25.The best title for the passage is .
A.How to Deal with Smoke from a Fire
B.How to Make an Escape Plan and an Escape Route
C.The Best Way to Find the Stair or Other Emergency Exits
D.Steps on How to Escape a Fire in a Room with the Door Closed
26.If you are in a room where there is a fire,the writer suggests that you should .
A.get outside quickly and safely B.stay in the room and wait for help
C.try to put out the fire by yourself D.jump out of the room through windows
27.What should you do if you find heavy smoke goes into the room
A.Find the nearest stair and run down.
B.Close the door as quickly as possible.
C.Open the door very carefully and slowly.
D.Escape from your room as quickly as possible.
28.Where does this passage probably come from
A.A safety guide book. B.A traffic guide book.
C.A science fiction. D.A science report.
C
Far from the land of Antarctica (南极洲),a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean.At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish,the Antarctic cod (南极鳕).
For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish.How does it live where most fish would freeze to death It must have some secrets.The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow.Now it seems we have an answer.
Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish.Scientists studied the fish’s blood and measured its freezing point.
The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88℃ and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it.The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05℃.That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.
The scientists’ next research job was clear:Find out what in the fish’s blood kept it from freezing.Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish.When it was removed,the blood froze at seawater temperature.When it was put back,the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.
Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein.It has many small sugar molecules (分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecule.Because of its sugar content,it is called a glycoprotein.So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein.
29.What is the text mainly about
A.The ice shelf around Antarctica. B.Protection of the Antarctic cod.
C.The terrible conditions in Antarctic. D.A special fish living in freezing waters.
30.Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature
A.It loves to live in the ice-salt mixture.
B.A special protein keeps it from freezing.
C.The seawater has a temperature of -1.88℃.
D.Its blood has a temperature lower than -2.05℃.
31.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to
A.The fish’s blood. B.The sugar molecule.
C.A newly found protein. D.A type of ice-salt mixture.
32.What does “glyco” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean
A.Sugar. B.Ice.
C.Blood. D.Molecule.
D
A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism—if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海难),by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27 men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott’s last journey,completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world’s imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908,started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.
33.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley
A.They were made last week. B.They showed undersea scenery.
C.They were found by a cameraman. D.They recorded a disastrous adventure.
34.Who reached the South Pole according to the text
A.Frank Hurley. B.Ernest Shackleton.
C.Robert Falcon Scott. D.Caroline Alexander.
35.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage
A.Artistic creation. B.Scientific research.
C.Money making. D.Treasure hunting.

Travelling along Silk Road
Travelling
Travelling along the old Silk Road can be a quite interesting and rewarding experience.Here is some information that the visitor should consider when planning a possible travel on the road.
Language
While travelling along the road,visitors can meet with about 20 different nationalities. 36 Some ethnic groups began learning Mandarin (普通话) and adopted the lifestyle of the Han people.Chinese became the official language in the autonomous regions. 37
Accommodations
The Silk Road spans most of China,from modern cities in the central China to villages and towns in the remote west.Accordingly accommodations along the route range from high standard hotels to simple guesthouse.
In big cities like Dunhuang,Urumqi,Lanzhou,visitors can enjoy high standard hotels.They all provide excellent conditions and good services,and they are quite safe. 38 Visitors without money may consider the cheaper guesthouses because these guesthouses with simpler equipment and basic service are fit enough to live in for most Chinese travellers.In the remote villages only simple lodgings are available. 39
Travel by Road
Buses are the most inexpensive method of transport along the Silk Road but,unfortunately,they are very slow. 40 A travel by car can be the only way to visit sites far from cities or towns that would otherwise be hard to reach.Rental prices are based on the number of days and kilometers travelled,and sometimes they can be negotiated(协商).
A.It offers good views of the mountains.
B.Some of them speak their own languages.
C.Learn some of their languages before going.
D.But this kind of hotels is also the most expensive.
E.These locations offer nothing but a quite simple room.
F.Cars are offered by some travel agencies and hotels.
G.Today,Chinese can be easily used among these nationalities.

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。
One day when I was 12,my mother gave me an order:I was to walk to the public library,and borrow at least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon of hers to defeat my strange problem,my inability to read.
In the library,I found my way into the Children’s Room.I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle,the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer,but one morning,he was gone,given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title,Amos,the Beagle with a Plan.Unknowingly,I had read the title.Without opening the book,I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush,I started to read about Amos.I read very,very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly,I got the main idea of the story about a dog who,like mine,had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog,and I was the little boy in the book.At the end of the story my mind continued to the final scene of reunion,on and on,until my own lost dog and I were,in my mind,running together.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。

Dear Bill,
The news in your letter of the 16th was a very welcome surprise.I am very pleased indeed to hear of your marriage,and I offer you my warmest congratulations.I wish you and your wife happy together and look forward to seeing you both.
It must be nearly three years since we met.Your marriage proves that you are doing very well in business.One can’t marry without a good income these days because of high prices and heavy taxes.I am still unmarried,but I hope to marry next year.Do you remember Mary Smith,a girl who was in college with us She’s the girl who’s going to be my wife as soon as we can afford to marry.
I’m still in the food company,having only a junior position,but it’s possible that I will be promoted to a department manager next year and I’m doing very well.
Once more,congratulations on your marriage!
Yours truly,
John

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了自己经历过的三次难忘的地震。
21.C 写作意图题。作者主要是向读者介绍了自己经历的三次地震。
22.D 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The first one was in 1955...in California.”和第四段以及第五段的“My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.”可知,它们都发生在加利福尼亚。
23.B 词义猜测题。根据上文“Our entire family was visiting Disneyland”可知答案。
24.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“I quickly headed for the door to go outside.”可知作者很快就跑出去了。故D项不正确。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述火灾发生时如何逃生。
25.D 主旨大意题。根据文章内容特别是第二段中的“If you’re in a room with the door closed when the fire breaks out,you need to take a few extra steps”可知,D项最能概括文章内容。
26.A 细节理解题。根据常识及第二段中的“The idea is to get outside quickly and safely.”,可知答案为 A项。
27.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“if you feel a burst of heat,or smoke pours into the room,quickly shut the door”可知,发现烟进入你的房间时,应该立即关门。
28.A 推理判断题。这篇文章是向读者说明发生火灾时如何逃生,因此应该出现在安全指导用书上。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍一种生活在南极的鱼,叫作南极鳕。
29.D 主旨大意题。通读本文可知,文章介绍了一种名叫南极鳕的鱼类,它可以在极低的水温中存活。
30.B 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein never before seen in the blood of a fish.When it was removed,the blood froze at seawater temperature.”可知,一种特殊的蛋白质使得这种鱼可以生活在冰点温度中。
31.C 代词指代题。根据上文“made up of a protein”可知,it代指上文出现的这种蛋白质。
32.A 词义猜测题。根据上文的“Because of its sugar content”可知这种蛋白质含糖,因此选A项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。1914年到1916年间,一群海员和科学家踏上了南极探险之路。结果他们在回来的路上发生海难,其中一个摄影师在临死之前拍摄了大量的照片,并把照片封存在破损的木船的冰箱里。通过这些照片我们可以了解到那次不太成功的探险经历。
33.D 细节理解题。由题干中的“the photos taken by Hurley”定位到文章第二段开头。该段说这些照片即使是上个星期拍的也堪称佳作,故A项错误;该段中还说照片是在一次海难之后拍的,故D项正确;文章没有说拍摄的是海底景观,故B项错误;拍摄者是摄影师,但没有说是一名摄影师发现了这些照片,故C项错误。故选D项。
34.C 推理判断题。由题干中的“reached the South Pole”这条信息定位到第三段。被发现的照片所展示的这次旅行是为了获得比Robert Falcon Scott船长先前的探险更大的收获,该船长在1912年就到达了南极。由此推断Robert Falcon Scott是到达过南极的人,故选C项。
35.C 细节理解题。题干的Alexander在最后一段出现,the 1914 voyage指本文谈到的“坚忍号”这艘船的探险。该段开头说,这个作家在她的小说The Endurance中说,在那时,探险就已经是纯商业活动(a thoroughly commercial effort)了,因此1914年航行的目的是赚钱(money making),故选C项。A项“艺术创作”、B项“科学调研”和D项“寻宝”在文中均未体现。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。你想放松身心,开阔眼界,见识各地的奇人异事和祖国大好河山吗 那就跟随作者一起沿丝绸之路走一走吧,你会有意想不到的收获!
36.B 本部分介绍的是语言。根据前面提到的“大约20个不同的民族”可知,B项“他们中有一些说自己的语言”可承接上文。
37.G 根据前面提到的“汉语成为自治区的官方语言”可知,G项“现在,可以很容易地在这些民族中使用汉语”符合语境。
38.D 前面提到这些酒店条件好,服务周到、安全,D项“但是这种酒店最贵”和上文形成转折关系。
39.E 前面介绍的是在偏僻的村庄的住宿情况,这些地方没有酒店,没有客栈,只能提供简陋的房间,所以选E项。
40.F 上文提到的是公共汽车,下文提到了小汽车,由此可知,所填的是引出下文的句子,F项符合语境。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位登山者Bobby登山的故事。尽管Bobby多次尝试登雪山,但都失败了。后来在朋友的帮助下,终于成功。故事告诉我们,只要有梦想,没有什么是不可能的。
41.D but表示转折,他不断尝试但总是失败(failed)。
42.A 根据下文“if your feet start hurting,put them on too”可知,随着登山的继续,脚(feet)会痛,所以Bobby频繁地低头看着自己疼痛的脚。
43.B 根据上文“Bobby,a poor guy was famous for his tries to climb the big snowy mountain.”可知,Bobby上个月与Peeper去登山(mountain)。
44.D 根据下文“These are special glasses”可知,Peeper给Bobby的是眼镜(glasses)。
45.C 既然是特殊的眼镜能够给Bobby带来帮助,他肯定会愿意接受(accepted)。
46.C 根据上文“if your feet start hurting,put them on too”可知,他想起了Peeper所说的话:在脚疼(hurting)时戴上眼镜。
47.D 由上文“the clouds had gathered round him”可知,他透过云层(clouds)看到了山顶。
48.B Bobby不断前进,不再低头看脚,忘记了脚的疼痛(pain)。
49.A 根据下文“in the form of the snow-covered mountain top”可知,Peeper所画的是一个图片(picture)。
50.D 根据下文的“lost sight of”可知,Bobby抬头时能看见(see)目标。
51.A 根据上文Bobby登山时遇到云雾从而失败可知,其原因在于看不到山顶,也就是看不到目标(goal)。
52.B 看不到目标的Bobby 会失去信心,没有足够的意志力(will)继续前进。
53.D 根据下文“see that his aims were not impossible”可知,Bobby的目标不是不可能,而是自己在看不见目标时会产生灰心(discouragement)的情绪。
54.C Bobby看不见山顶时便不再攀登,问题就出现了(arose)。
55.C 联系上文“These are special glasses;they will help you.”可知,Peeper采用一个小技巧(trick)帮助Bobby实现了目标。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了南极地区冰的形成及美国探险家Byrd在南极的探险情况。
56.highest 考查形容词最高级。句意:南极有史以来记录过的最高的温度是零度。
57.a 考查冠词。句意:探险家们过去认为这么冷的地方会下大雪。a在此处表泛指。
58.is turned 考查动词语态。句意:当雪的厚度达到80英尺的时候,雪的重量就会把这些雪变成冰。由后文的by可知此处用被动语态。
59.explorer 考查名词。R.E.Byrd是一个美国探险家。
60.for 考查介词。for the first time是固定词组,意为“第一次”。
61.photographs 考查名词复数。根据上文的a great many可知此空用复数。
62.rose 考查动词时态。这是一个条件状语从句,整个故事发生在过去,因此填rose。
63.to throw 考查非谓语动词。order sb to do sth命令某人做某事。
64.that/which 考查定语从句关系词。分析句子结构可知,“ was 300 miles away”是定语从句,从句中缺少主语,因此用关系代词that或which。
65.difficulty 考查名词。此空用于介词之后,因此填名词。

第一节
Dear WWF,
I am Li Hua,one of a middle school students.I am writing to inform you of the situation where the birds are living.Some people are catching the lovely birds in the woods on the top of the mountain in our area.What’s worse,a few people even put birds on tables for dinner.
It is known that animals and birds are human beings’ friends.We are to live harmoniously with them.For one thing,they can catch pests of the plants for farmers.For another,without birds our forests would not be lively and our environment would miss a friendly member.
In order to protect birds from being caught or killed,we should widely spread the laws of animal protection.Besides,education and raising people’s awareness are effective measures.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
My mother’s call returned me to the real world,and I suddenly realised something.The trick of reading is to put yourself into the story experiencing what the author goes through and appreciating its meaning in your heart.As long as I clung to this process,not only was my inability to read defeated,but also an inner aspiration to read was stimulated,which changed my life for the better.During the summer,I incredibly developed a special companionship with books,ranging from vivid story books to academic articles.My mother was more than delighted to see my change.
And years later,she was proud that her son had read thousands of books,and was awarded a PhD in literature.She proposed that my experience should be of magnificent use to others.So I set up a team to provide those who had difficulty reading with space to turn to,through which I myself also gained a better understanding of reading as well as my life.My first adventure of reading turned out to be a permanent treasure.第四单元测评

Nowadays,with the development of the Internet,emojis (表情符号) are more and more popular among netizens.Some people even feel difficult to talk online without using emojis.Emojis help netizens to communicate with each other easily and vividly.Yet,not all emojis are properly used on social media.So we are going to introduce some common but confusing emojis to help you have a better understanding of these small signs.

2.What do you think of this sign Believe it or not,80% of netizens use it under the meaning of “It is not funny at all,but I have to smile.” Is it right Of course not!It actually means that “I saw what you did (usually bad things) and I want to give you a sinister (奸诈的) smile.”
3.People have very different opinions on this emoji.The Apple company has told that this emoji means “high five (嗨,击掌)”.But most people still use the incorrect meaning—pray.Some netizens even think,“If you see this emoji as two people give each other a high five,you must be a bad guy.”

Most people have never heard of Tim Berners-Lee.He is not nearly as rich or famous as Mare Andreessen,who is the founder of Netscape,or Bill Gates,whose name has become a well-known word.
Berners-Lee,who worked in a small office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,is the creator of the World Wide Web.The creation of the Web is so important that some people compare Berners-Lee to Johann Gutenberg,who invented printing by movable type (活字) in the fifteenth century.
Berners-Lee was born in England in 1955.His parents,who helped design the world’s first commercially (商业地) available computer,gave him a great love of mathematics and learning.
In 1980,Berners-Lee went to work at CERN,a physics laboratory in Geneva,Switzerland,where he had a lot of materials to learn quickly.He had a poor memory for facts and wanted to find a way to help him keep track of things he couldn’t remember.He invented a software program that allowed him to create a document that had links to other documents.He continued to develop his idea through the 1980s.He wanted to find a way to connect the knowledge and creativity of people all over the world.
In 1991,his project became known as the World Wide Web.The number of Internet users started to grow quickly.However,Berners-Lee was not completely happy with the way the Web had developed.He thought it had become a passive tool for so many people,not the tool for creativity that he had imagined.
In 1999,Berners-Lee published a book called Weaving the Web,in which he answers questions he is often asked,“What were you thinking when you invented the Web ” “What do you think of it now ” “Where is the Web going to take us in the future ”
29.From paragraph 1 we can see .

C.Berners-Lee is as well-known as Bill Gates
D.we know little about Tim Berners-Lee
30.Which of the following is TRUE

B.In 1980,Berners-Lee wanted to find a way to connect the knowledge and creativity.
C.In 1991,Berners-Lee finished the World Wide Web.
D.In 1999,Berners-Lee made a play called Weaving the Web.

You don’t need to get in a time-travelling machine to see how technology will reshape our lives,such as the way we shop.Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist.Let’s see what’s in store for your future shopping.
Try it on,virtually (虚拟的).Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses You don’t need to guess which pair looks best on you — use the eBay Fashion iPhone app (程序) to try a pair of eyewear you’re checking out on a picture of your face.But what if you want to buy something bigger Thanks to Microsoft Kinect’s motion tracking camera,you can cover clothes on your screen body.You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience.
Get a perfect,custom fit.Everyone’s body is shaped differently.To get a perfect fit,you sometimes have to get your clothes changed.But by using 3D scanning technology,all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly.Some companies scan your body using high-tech to get the most accurate measurements,so they can make special clothes just for you.
High-tech shopping carts and checkout counters.High-tech shopping carts could,in time,be a common sight in malls and supermarkets.Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are currently under test.The cart can follow you along the aisles (通道),controlled merely by your movement and your voice.In China,a supermarket chain introduced tablet-equipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores’ aisles.
In the United States,several supermarkets use a device called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop.While it’s great not having to line up at a checkout counter,we wouldn’t mind it if the store used Toshiba’s new Object Recognition Scanner.The machine identifies a product as soon as it’s placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color,even if it has no bar code.
32.According to paragraph 2,the eBay Fashion iPhone app can .
A.only make pictures of our faces B.help us sell more clothes online
C.create us a virtual dressing room D.choose suitable glasses for us
33.Which of the following can help get the correct shape of our body
A.Object Recognition Scanner. B.The eBay Fashion iPhone app.
C.3D scanning technology. D.Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts.
34.What can we infer from this passage
A.Checkout counters will disappear from supermarkets in the future.
B.High-tech shopping carts will be widely used in malls and supermarkets.
C.“Scan It” cannot be used by buyers themselves.
D.The new technologies are only dreams that are impossible to come true.
35.This passage mainly talks about .
A.a new time-travelling machine B.the influence of new technologies
C.some inventions to change habits D.the ways for future shopping

There have been a lot of comments recently surrounding 5G,the next generation of wireless technology. 36 How might it change our lives
5G stands for the fifth generation,meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system.Earlier “G” systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations.Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity (容量). 37 It is expected to permit more users to do more things at a faster rate.
However,technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different from the earlier systems. 38 It will affect more devices and industries than other “G” versions.
5G will help fuel future “smart cities” by connecting sensor networks.5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality (虚拟现实).Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations.Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.
39 The increased data flow across 5G networks would give Internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data.In addition,the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results.Such difficulties could affect public safety. 40 ,or a network breakdown could cause self-driving vehicles to crash.
A.Why is 5G so popular
B.What is this technology
C.Every coin has two sides.
D.The new 5G system promises more of the same.
E.It will move beyond mobile network technology.
F.A breakdown of 5G networks may cause economic losses.
G.A failure during a doctor’s remote operation could lead to death

It was Mother’s Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my son who was five years old,Tenyson.As we were leaving after finishing our shopping,we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly.Her husband was with her,but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Fortunately,a lot of people stopped to help out.
While we were walking towards the scene,Tenyson became very worried about what had happened to the elderly couple.He said to me,“Mom,it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.” Seeing that there was a flower stall(摊位) at the front of the supermarket,he added,“Why shouldn’t we buy the lady a flower It will make her feel better.”I was amazed that he’d come up with this sweet idea.So we went over and told the flower seller what we wanted.“Just take it,”she replied.“I can’t take your money for such a wonderful deed.”
By now medical staff had arrived,and were looking after the injured woman.There we saw the old man was also in great horror,but he tried to comfort his wife and held her hands tightly to encourage her to be strong.We gave the flower to the woman’s husband and I told him it was from my son.At that,the old man started crying and said,“Thank you very much.”He then turned to me,“You have a wonderful son.Happy Mother’s Day to you.”
The man bent down and gave his wife the flower,telling her who it was from.Regardless of being badly hurt,the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.And my son bent down his body to the injured lady and tenderly said,“Happy Mother’s Day to you,too.”

第二节
After a moment,the elderly lady was taken into an ambulance,and was sent to hospital by medical staff.The crowd gradually scattered.Tenyson and I went home.On our way home,he asked me worriedly,“Mom,will the elderly lady be OK since she is too old and she has badly fallen over ”I looked at him and said.“The elderly lady will be fine since there were so many people coming to help her.And you did a wonderful deed,my boy.”
One year later,it was Mother’s Day again.As last year,I went shopping at the local supermarket with Tenyson.Suddenly,Tenyson said excitedly,“Look,Mom.It is that elderly lady.”I looked that way and saw the elderly lady and her husband.It seemed that she had recovered from her injury.We walked towards them and they were happy to meet us,too.The elderly lady hugged my son and whispered to him.“I will never forget the flower you gave me,my sweet boy.”
