After the knock-out Maui wildfires, people from all walks of life managed to find ways to support the victims. While many felt more comfortable giving to the Hawaii Red Cross or grassroots organizations, others wanted to donate directly to the people in need. Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson felt that way too, so they created The People’s Fund of Maui, which aims to support the displaced residents of Lahaina as they try to rebuild their lives.
“I have been meeting with people throughout the community that were impacted by the fires over the last few weeks, asking what they most needed and how I could be of service,” Winfrey said in a statement. “The main thing I’ve been hearing is their concern about how to move forward under the enormous financial burden (负担). The community has come together in so many wonderful ways, and my intention is to support those impacted as they determine what rebuilding looks like for them.”
Winfrey and Johnson posted a video announcing a donation of $10 million on Instagram, and calling for those who need assistance to apply. The People’s Fund of Maui aims to provide direct relief to individuals in the form of $1,200 monthly payments for as long as possible. The recipients of this fundraiser are individuals who are over the age of 18, reside in Lahaina and Kula, and lost their homes during the fire. “We are beyond grateful to be working alongside community leaders of Maui to launch the People’s Fund of Maui,” Johnson shared in a statement. “These leaders are offering their guidance to ensure our fund can put money directly in the. hands of those individuals most affected.”
Johnson, who spent some time in Honolulu as a kid, praised first responders and com munity members who have stepped up to the challenge. “As people around the world watched the great loss caused by the Maui wildfires, they also witnessed the great spirit of our Polynesian culture and the strength of the people of Maui,” said Johnson.
4. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1
A. Damages caused by Maui wildfires. B. People’s terror to Maui wildfires.
C. The goal of the People’s Fund of Maui. D. People’s self-protection after Maui wildfires.

Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877, and it quickly became the most popular home-entertainment device of the century. Seeking to provide a visual accompaniment to the phonograph, Edison helped Dickson, a young laboratory assistant, invent a motion-picture camera in 1888. Building upon the work of Maybridge and Marey, Dickson combined the two final essential s of motion-picture recording and viewing technology.
These were a device, adapted from the escapement mechanism of a clock, to ensure the intermittent (周期的) but regular motion of the film tape through the camera and a regularly perforated (穿孔的) film tape to ensure precise synchronization (同步) between the film tape and the shutter. Dickson’s camera, the Kinetograph, initially imprinted up to 50 feet (15metres)of film at the rate of about 40 frames per second.
Dickson was not the only person who had been solving the problem of recording and reproducing moving images. Inventors throughout the world had been trying for years to invent working motion-picture machines. In fact, several European inventors, including the Englishman William Friese-Greene, applied for patents on various cameras, projectors, and camera-projector combinations contemporaneously or even before Edison and his associates did.
Because Edison had originally come up with motion pictures as an adjunct to his phonograph, he did not entrust the invention of a projector to accompany the Kinetograph. Rather, he had Dickson design a type of viewing device called the Kinetoscope, in which a continuous 47-foot (14-metre) film circle ran between a lamp and a shutter for individual viewing.
Starting in 1894, Kinetoscopes were marketed commercially through the firm of Raff and Gammon for $250 to $300a piece. The Edison Company established its own Kinetograph studio in West Orange, New Jersey, to supply films for the Kinetoscopes. In April of that year the first Kinetoscope cinema was opened in a storefront in New York City. The cinema charged 25cents for admission to a bank of five machines.
8. What’s the purpose of Edison helping Dickson invent a motion-picture camera
A. To support the work made by Muybridge and Marey.
B. To offer viewing technology assistance to his invention.
C. To make preparations for his invention of the phonograph.
D. To remove the devices of old motion-picture recording.
9. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell about the Kinetograph
A. Its speed. B. Its development.
C. Its limitations. D. Its operational principle.
10 What does the underlined word “adjunct” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Addition. B. Replacement. C. Example. D. Project.
11. Which can be used to describe the invention of Kinetoscopes
A. Costly. B. Complicated. C. Successful. D. Accidental.
D
Scientists exploring the ocean floor in Antaretica have found the largest group of fish nests ever discovered. The huge area of nests came as a surprise, and will help scientists develop a more complete idea of the ocean food web in the area.
In the south Weddell Sea, scientists discovered a group of roughly 60 million icefish nests on the ocean floor. Before this, the largest group of icefish nests ever found had about 60 nests. Researchers from Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute on the research ship Polarstern were studying the ocean floor in Antaretica. To do this, they used a special device called OFOBS. The device collects information and takes pictures and video from 5-8 feet (1.5-2.5meters) above the sea floor. Lilian Boehringer, a research student, was the first to spot the nests. “They were everywhere,” she told the New York Times. During the first four-hour filming session, the scientists found over 16,000 nests.
The researchers used OFOBS to make two more four-hour “dives”, trying to discover the limits of the nesting area. This allowed them to calculate that the nesting site covers at least 92 square miles (240 square kilometers). The scientists were studying the area because the temperatures there are slightly warmer than the areas around it. The water is still cold —barely above freezing—but that seems to be perfect for icefish.
The nests scientists found were in the shape of a circle, and about 2.5 feet (75centimeters)across. Each nest held about 1,700 eggs. Most of the nests were being guarded by a male icefish. Researchers also spotted some dead icefish and some nests with no fish.
Because of the massive numbers of nests found, the scientists believe the icefish must play a very important part in the ocean’s food cycle in the area. The researchers think the icefish are an important food source for Antarctica’s Weddell Seals.
12. What does the author want to explain in paragraph 2
A. How researchers found icefish nests. B. What the newly-found icefish nests looks.
C. What icefish nests means to the ocean. D. Why icefish build the nests in the ocean.
13. The icefish build their nest in the south Weddell Sea because of its ________.
A. depth B. purity C. area D. condition
14. What’s the significance of the find of icefish nests
A. It provides more evidences about icefish’s living habits.
B. It helps scientists know more about the ocean food chain.
C. It tells us the importance of protecting the big oceans.
D. It helps the fishers get more information about fishing.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Icefish’s Position in Ocean Food Cycle B. Further Studies about the Ocean Food Cycle
C. The Largest Group of Fish Nests Discovered D. The Necessities for the Ocean Food Studies

Ever since 7-year-old Bryan had fixed a cupboard from Ikea with his father, he developed a love for building. Throughout the years in school, he helped his friends whenever they needed help building something. One day, his teacher recommended an after-school workshop for him to develop his talent. He skipped home, smiling from ear to ear.
“Mom! Dad! My DNT teacher suggested I should go for this after-school workshop! Can I go Please This would really help me in my future career!” Bryan said. Father asked, “How will this help you in becoming a scientist It is also too near the time of your exams.” Bryan shook his head and his eyes glowed. “I want to be an engineer.” Mother said, “Really I thought that you would like to be a scientist. What made you change your mind ” “Well, I may really like science but, over the years, I discovered a passion for building!” “We see. But we do not support your idea. Sorry, Bryan but you are smart enough to be a scientist and I don’t want you wasting those precious years away on something like building. Moreover, you will definitely earn more money as a scientist! Remember how you said you wanted to pay us back Be successful! Like us!” Father responded. Mother nodded.
The next day, Bryan told his teacher sadly, “Mr. Hock, I am not able to attend the workshop.” He could sense the disappointment in Mr. Hock, his DNT teacher’s eyes. At this moment, Bryan’s heart sank. A signed consent form (同意书) would have changed his whole life.
For the next few years, he continued studying science. Bryan had many friends who were in the same course as him, but no one asked about his career.
One fine day in the cafeteria, he bumped into Axel, who was going to change his perspective of a career forever. They introduced themselves, and the courses they took. Turns out, Axel studied engineering. “What about you You look like a math person.” he commented. “Actually, I take science.” Bryan replied, shyly. “Really So, you want to be a scientist ” “Actually, no. My parents wanted me to be a scientist. I wanted to be a builder, like you!”

After the knock-out Maui wildfires, people from all walks of life managed to find ways to support the victims. While many felt more comfortable giving to the Hawaii Red Cross or grassroots organizations, others wanted to donate directly to the people in need. Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson felt that way too, so they created The People’s Fund of Maui, which aims to support the displaced residents of Lahaina as they try to rebuild their lives.
“I have been meeting with people throughout the community that were impacted by the fires over the last few weeks, asking what they most needed and how I could be of service,” Winfrey said in a statement. “The main thing I’ve been hearing is their concern about how to move forward under the enormous financial burden (负担). The community has come together in so many wonderful ways, and my intention is to support those impacted as they determine what rebuilding looks like for them.”
Winfrey and Johnson posted a video announcing a donation of $10 million on Instagram, and calling for those who need assistance to apply. The People’s Fund of Maui aims to provide direct relief to individuals in the form of $1,200 monthly payments for as long as possible. The recipients of this fundraiser are individuals who are over the age of 18, reside in Lahaina and Kula, and lost their homes during the fire. “We are beyond grateful to be working alongside community leaders of Maui to launch the People’s Fund of Maui,” Johnson shared in a statement. “These leaders are offering their guidance to ensure our fund can put money directly in the. hands of those individuals most affected.”
Johnson, who spent some time in Honolulu as a kid, praised first responders and com munity members who have stepped up to the challenge. “As people around the world watched the great loss caused by the Maui wildfires, they also witnessed the great spirit of our Polynesian culture and the strength of the people of Maui,” said Johnson.
4. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1
A. Damages caused by Maui wildfires. B. People’s terror to Maui wildfires.
C. The goal of the People’s Fund of Maui. D. People’s self-protection after Maui wildfires.

Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877, and it quickly became the most popular home-entertainment device of the century. Seeking to provide a visual accompaniment to the phonograph, Edison helped Dickson, a young laboratory assistant, invent a motion-picture camera in 1888. Building upon the work of Maybridge and Marey, Dickson combined the two final essential s of motion-picture recording and viewing technology.
These were a device, adapted from the escapement mechanism of a clock, to ensure the intermittent (周期的) but regular motion of the film tape through the camera and a regularly perforated (穿孔的) film tape to ensure precise synchronization (同步) between the film tape and the shutter. Dickson’s camera, the Kinetograph, initially imprinted up to 50 feet (15metres)of film at the rate of about 40 frames per second.
Dickson was not the only person who had been solving the problem of recording and reproducing moving images. Inventors throughout the world had been trying for years to invent working motion-picture machines. In fact, several European inventors, including the Englishman William Friese-Greene, applied for patents on various cameras, projectors, and camera-projector combinations contemporaneously or even before Edison and his associates did.
Because Edison had originally come up with motion pictures as an adjunct to his phonograph, he did not entrust the invention of a projector to accompany the Kinetograph. Rather, he had Dickson design a type of viewing device called the Kinetoscope, in which a continuous 47-foot (14-metre) film circle ran between a lamp and a shutter for individual viewing.
Starting in 1894, Kinetoscopes were marketed commercially through the firm of Raff and Gammon for $250 to $300a piece. The Edison Company established its own Kinetograph studio in West Orange, New Jersey, to supply films for the Kinetoscopes. In April of that year the first Kinetoscope cinema was opened in a storefront in New York City. The cinema charged 25cents for admission to a bank of five machines.
8. What’s the purpose of Edison helping Dickson invent a motion-picture camera
A. To support the work made by Muybridge and Marey.
B. To offer viewing technology assistance to his invention.
C. To make preparations for his invention of the phonograph.
D. To remove the devices of old motion-picture recording.
9. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell about the Kinetograph
A. Its speed. B. Its development.
C. Its limitations. D. Its operational principle.
10. What does the underlined word “adjunct” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Addition. B. Replacement. C. Example. D. Project.
11. Which can be used to describe the invention of Kinetoscopes
A. Costly. B. Complicated. C. Successful. D. Accidental.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“These were a device, adapted from the escapement mechanism of a clock, to ensure the intermittent (周期的) but regular motion of the film tape through the camera and a regularly perforated (穿孔的) film tape to ensure precise synchronization (同步) between the film tape and the shutter.(这是一种从时钟的擒纵机构改编而来的装置，用于确保胶片带在相机中间歇但有规律的运动，以及一个有规律穿孔的胶片带，以确保胶片带和快门之间的精确同步)” 可推断，第二段讲述了the Kinetograph的操作原理。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句理解题。根据第一段的“Seeking to provide a visual accompaniment to the phonograph, Edison helped Dickson, a young laboratory assistant, invent a motion-picture camera in 1888.(为了给留声机提供视觉伴奏，爱迪生在1888年帮助年轻的实验室助理迪克森发明了一台电影摄影机)”以及划线单词所在的句子“Because Edison had originally come up with motion pictures(因为爱迪生最初把电影摄影机)”可知，爱迪生最初对电影摄影机的构想是作为他的留声机的一个部分，为留声机提供视觉伴奏，即爱迪生最初把电影摄影机作为留声机的一个补充或附加部分，所以划线单词意为“附件，辅助”。故填A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Starting in 1894, Kinetoscopes were marketed commercially through the firm of Raff and Gammon for $250 to $300a piece.(从1894年开始，活动电影放映机通过Raff and Gammon公司进行商业销售，每台售价250至300美元)”以及“In April of that year the first Kinetoscope cinema was opened in a storefront in New York City. The cinema charged 25cents for admission to a bank of five machines.(同年4月，第一家活动电影放映机电影院在纽约市的一家店面开业。这家电影院五台机器的入场费为25美分)”可知，Kinetoscopes的发明带来了巨大的经济效益，因此是非常成功的。故选C。

Scientists exploring the ocean floor in Antaretica have found the largest group of fish nests ever discovered. The huge area of nests came as a surprise, and will help scientists develop a more complete idea of the ocean food web in the area.
In the south Weddell Sea, scientists discovered a group of roughly 60 million icefish nests on the ocean floor. Before this, the largest group of icefish nests ever found had about 60 nests. Researchers from Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute on the research ship Polarstern were studying the ocean floor in Antaretica. To do this, they used a special device called OFOBS. The device collects information and takes pictures and video from 5-8 feet (1.5-2.5meters) above the sea floor. Lilian Boehringer, a research student, was the first to spot the nests. “They were everywhere,” she told the New York Times. During the first four-hour filming session, the scientists found over 16,000 nests.
The researchers used OFOBS to make two more four-hour “dives”, trying to discover the limits of the nesting area. This allowed them to calculate that the nesting site covers at least 92 square miles (240 square kilometers). The scientists were studying the area because the temperatures there are slightly warmer than the areas around it. The water is still cold —barely above freezing—but that seems to be perfect for icefish.
The nests scientists found were in the shape of a circle, and about 2.5 feet (75centimeters)across. Each nest held about 1,700 eggs. Most of the nests were being guarded by a male icefish. Researchers also spotted some dead icefish and some nests with no fish.
Because of the massive numbers of nests found, the scientists believe the icefish must play a very important part in the ocean’s food cycle in the area. The researchers think the icefish are an important food source for Antarctica’s Weddell Seals.
12. What does the author want to explain in paragraph 2
A. How researchers found icefish nests. B. What the newly-found icefish nests looks.
C What icefish nests means to the ocean. D. Why icefish build the nests in the ocean.
13. The icefish build their nest in the south Weddell Sea because of its ________.
A. depth B. purity C. area D. condition
14. What’s the significance of the find of icefish nests
A. It provides more evidences about icefish’s living habits.
B. It helps scientists know more about the ocean food chain.
C. It tells us the importance of protecting the big oceans.
D. It helps the fishers get more information about fishing.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Icefish’s Position in Ocean Food Cycle B. Further Studies about the Ocean Food Cycle
C. The Largest Group of Fish Nests Discovered D. The Necessities for the Ocean Food Studies
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】

【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了端午节来历。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：龙舟是一种形状和装饰成中国龙的船，由人们划船庆祝端午节。The dragon boat is a boat是主句，a boat为先行词，指物，空处在从句中作主语，本空是that/which引导的定语从句，故填that/which。
【37题详解】
考查不定式。句意：龙舟是一种形状和装饰成中国龙的船，由人们划船庆祝端午节。本空以及后面的内容为不定式，作shaped and decorated as a Chinese Dragon and rowed by people的目的状语。故填to celebrate。
【38题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：流传最广的一本与战国时期的著名诗人和政治家屈原（公元前476年——公元前221年）有关。one与relate之间为被动关系，且此处讲述客观事实，因此用一般现在时被动语态。故填is related。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：屈原的政治观点没有被采纳，于是他投汨罗江自尽了。此处为形容词作定语，修饰空后名词views。故填political。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：屈原的政治观点没有被采纳，于是他投汨罗江自尽了。本句的主语是Qu Yuan，此处drowned的宾语也是Qu Yuan，因此用反身代词，故填himself。
【41题详解】

【44题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：香港龙舟邀请赛于1976年举行，在国内外都很受欢迎。逻辑主语the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Invitational Race与hold之间为被动关系，因此用过去分词短语作状语。故填Held。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：从此，龙舟赛成为现代体育最重要的赛事之一，并传播到全球30多个国家。1980年，龙舟赛被列入国家体育竞赛项目。根据空前的one of…可知，此处名词应该用复数。故填events。

Throughout the years in school, he helped his friends whenever they needed help building something. One day, his teacher recommended an after-school workshop for him to develop his talent. He skipped home, smiling from ear to ear.
“Mom! Dad! My DNT teacher suggested I should go for this after-school workshop! Can I go Please This would really help me in my future career!” Bryan said. Father asked, “How will this help you in becoming a scientist It is also too near the time of your exams.” Bryan shook his head and his eyes glowed. “I want to be an engineer.” Mother said, “Really I thought that you would like to be a scientist. What made you change your mind ” “Well, I may really like science but, over the years, I discovered a passion for building!” “We see. But we do not support your idea.
