It was around 10 o’clock at night and it was raining cats and dogs in our street. Everyone was at home, watching TV, reading or sleeping. However, my mom and I had to run back home from shopping to keep us from getting totally wet.
When we arrived home, I asked my mom to make some hot pancakes. It would be great to have pancakes during heavy rains. Later, we three sat at the table, having a good conversation as usual while eating delicious pancakes. Suddenly, we heard a noise from somewhere near my house. We got worried and went outside to see what happened.
We saw a dog, abandoned（遗弃）by someone near the pipe next to our house. I could hardly see any other puppies as cute as this dog, shaking and fully wet on that cold rainy night. I felt sorry for the dog and gave my pancakes and some bread to him. He ate it in just a few seconds. Then we decided to take him home. We gave him good food and a hot shower, and dried him with our own towel and named it Charlie.
Ever since that lucky rainy night, Charlie has been with us. Every day, he plays games happily with us and keeps thieves and unexpected guests out of our home. He loves us as much as we love him. Whenever I have trouble with others, Charlie, my pet dog, will always be there to support me.

Could you imagine cars driving without human drivers Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. This August, more and more driverless taxis run on roads in many big cities in China.
Why do we develop self-driving cars Self-driving cars give us many benefits. They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams and better parking of cars. Many people cannot drive for various reasons, including age, disability, or lack of experience. Now, they can get around more easily. Driving becomes more convenient.
According to a research, each year, over 1.3 million people die in car accidents around the world, and many more get hurt. Self-driving cars can reduce (减少) road accidents by 90% and save a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human mistakes. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. They can improve driving safety.
But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, it will be difficult for self-driving cars to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The computer system in the car can also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash.
It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen.
18. Which of the following is a benefit of self-driving cars according to the passage
A. They don’t need parking space. B. They can teach people how to drive.
C. They allow disabled people to travel more easily. D. They cost less money to make and repair.
19. Why can self-driving cars help reduce road accidents
A. Because they can correct human mistakes while driving.
B. Because their computers can predict all road accidents.
C. Because computers do not have attention problems.
D. Because they can see clearly even in bad weathers.
20. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The weaknesses of self-driving cars. B. The benefits of having a human driver.
C. How road accidents usually happen. D. How the computers in self-driving cars work.
21. What do we know from the last paragraph
A. Many countries are working together to develop self-driving cars.
B. Self-driving cars need clean and safe roads to run.
C. We can already see self-driving cars everywhere in China.
D. China is trying to make self-driving cars safer and more common.
D
An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon die out. Many species could disappear very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered but most of them are because of humans. However, there are things that we can do to save endangered species.
Habitat（栖息地）destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans cut down trees and build houses and farms.
Endangered species are also the result of overhunting and overfishing. Some seal species are endangered because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Other animals are killed for their fur, bones or skin, or just for sports. Overfishing means that large sea animals like whales and sharks have all become endangered species, because too many are caught to make things like shark’s fin soup.
So what can people and governments do to protect animals and stop species from becoming endangered We should not pollute natural areas, and the public can help by not buying any products that are made from animals’ body parts, such as seal fur coats or crocodile bags. Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish, buy or sell endangered species. They can also provide money for nature reserves and zoos. If we all work together by taking these steps, we will protect our planet so that our children and their children can keep living in harmony with other creatures, too.
22. What is the writing purpose of this passage
A. To call for actions to save endangered animals. B. To explain why animals are endangered.
C. To introduce different endangered animals. D. To tell why we need to protect endangered animals.
23. What does the underlined word “destruction” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. development B. protection C. damage D. pollution
24. What can we learn from this passage
A. Human’s movement is good for animals’ habitat.
B. Governments can hardly help stop species from becoming endangered.
C. Some seal species are killed to make medicine.
D. Human activities are the main reason why animals are endangered.
25. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage (P1=paragraph 1)
A. B. C. D.
第三部分 信息还原（共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分）

It was Saturday again. Grace and Karen disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common（共同的）. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell the differences between them sometimes.
Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet（芭蕾）lesson. “How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. “Would you like to be me for a day ” they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen’s ballet dress while Karen put Grace’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.
When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn`t dare（敢）to hand in her work.
At the same time, Grace was struggling（挣扎）in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, “Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can’t depend on copying what others are doing.”
When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired. They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed that the grass was not always greener on the other side.

Self-driving cars can reduce (减少) road accidents by 90% and save a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human mistakes. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. They can improve driving safety.
But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, it will be difficult for self-driving cars to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The computer system in the car can also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash.
It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen.

An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon die out. Many species could disappear very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered but most of them are because of humans. However, there are things that we can do to save endangered species.
Habitat（栖息地）destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans cut down trees and build houses and farms.
Endangered species are also the result of overhunting and overfishing. Some seal species are endangered because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Other animals are killed for their fur, bones or skin, or just for sports. Overfishing means that large sea animals like whales and sharks have all become endangered species, because too many are caught to make things like shark’s fin soup.
So what can people and governments do to protect animals and stop species from becoming endangered We should not pollute natural areas, and the public can help by not buying any products that are made from animals’ body parts, such as seal fur coats or crocodile bags. Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish, buy or sell endangered species. They can also provide money for nature reserves and zoos. If we all work together by taking these steps, we will protect our planet so that our children and their children can keep living in harmony with other creatures, too.
22. What is the writing purpose of this passage
A. To call for actions to save endangered animals. B. To explain why animals are endangered.
C. To introduce different endangered animals. D. To tell why we need to protect endangered animals.
23. What does the underlined word “destruction” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. development B. protection C. damage D. pollution
24. What can we learn from this passage
A. Human’s movement is good for animals’ habitat.
B. Governments can hardly help stop species from becoming endangered.
C. Some seal species are killed to make medicine.
D. Human activities are the main reason why animals are endangered.
25. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage (P1=paragraph 1)
A. B. C. D.
【答案】22. A 23. C 24. D 25. B
【解析】本文主要讲述了濒危物种的问题以及保护它们的方法。
22.主旨大意题。根据“An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon die out. Many species could disappear very soon if we don’t do anything to save them.”（濒危物种是一群可能很快灭绝的动物。如果我们不采取任何措施来拯救它们，许多物种很快就会消失。）可知文章是为了呼吁采取行动拯救濒危动物。故选A。
23.词义猜测题。根据“When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans cut down trees and build houses and farms.”可知当人类迁移到一个新的地区时，动物的栖息地被破坏，没有什么可吃的，因为人类砍伐树木，建造房屋和农场。所以栖息地破坏是动物濒临灭绝的主要原因。destruction和damage同义，故选C。
24.细节理解题。根据“Habitat（栖息地）destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered”以及“Endangered species are also the result of overhunting and overfishing.”可知人类活动是动物濒临灭绝的主要原因。故选D。
25.篇章结构题。文章第一段提出主题，要拯救濒危物种；第二三段分别介绍了动物濒危的两个原因；最后一段在总结全文，讲述应该如何保护动物，防止物种濒临灭绝。故选B。

第五部分 短文填空（共10小题;每题1分,满分10分）
请认真阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确的形式。
During the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong asked the prime minister (宰相) Feng Deyi to recommend talented people. ___44___, Feng didn’t recommend anyone after several months.
“I tried my best, but there are no ___45___ (usual) or well-rounded people at all,” Feng said.
“People are like tools,” said the emperor. “What we need to do is ___46___ (make) good use of their strengths. You should blame (归咎于) ___47___ (you) for not noticing people’s strengths. How could you say that there are no talented people in our dynasty ”
That’s true. Each tool has its own function (功能). A knife is made to cut things ___48___ chopsticks (筷子) are made to pick up food. We can’t use a knife as a chopstick, ___49___ a tool, each person has a special strength. Nobody is perfect. We can’t expect a person to be good at everything.
With this idea in mind, Emperor Taizong found many talented people of different ___50___ (background). He gave them important positions, which helped them make the most of their talents. His talented people helped the society develop and created a “golden age”.
A good example is Ma Zhou, who grew up in a poor family. Ma gave a lot of ___51___ (use) advice, so Emperor Taizong gave him a position and praised him many times.

47.句意：你应该归咎于自己没有注意到别人的优点。根据主语和宾语是同一个人可知，空缺处用you的反身代词yourself“你自己”，故填yourself。

49.句意：我们不能把刀当筷子用。就像工具一样，每个人都有特殊的力量。根据“each person has a special strength”可知，此处指像工具一样，介词like“像”，故填like。
50.句意：有了这个想法，唐太宗找到了许多不同背景的人才。根据“many talented people of different”可知，空缺处用background“背景”的复数backgrounds，故填backgrounds。

It was Saturday again. Grace and Karen disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common（共同的）. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell the differences between them sometimes.
Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet（芭蕾）lesson. “How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. “Would you like to be me for a day ” they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen’s ballet dress while Karen put Grace’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.
When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn`t dare（敢）to hand in her work.
At the same time, Grace was struggling（挣扎）in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, “Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can’t depend on copying what others are doing.”
