Gerhard and Toni Goldschlag welcomed their daughter Stella on July 10, 1922. Gerhard—a former soldier in the German Imperial Army—was a musician devoted to German music. He was employed as a composer (作曲家) by the Kulturbund. Both Toni and Gerhard were particularly devoted to their only child: they loved her dearly, gave her everything they had, and taught her what was to be admired.
The World War Ⅱ broke out. Gerhard was out of work, finances were non-existent, and they were unable to secure a way out of Germany. When Stella's school offered her the chance to head to Britain on a school trip (and then stay there), her parents said no. They weren't separating the family, so they had no choice but to stay in a country that was getting increasingly dangerous.
At first, Traces of War says that Stella Goldschlag enjoyed a certain amount of freedom. She went to college, studied fashion, and joined a jazz band as a singer. It was there that she met and married her first husband, Manfred Kubler.
Her luck didn't last long, though. Her husband wasn't so fortunate. He was arrested and forced to leave for Auschwitz on May 3,1943. He died there just two days later, just 20 years old.
Stella and her mother continued to work in factories while trying to avoid arrest. However, they weren't the only ones who tried to survive the war by hiding right in the open. Around 7,000 managed to hold on to their freedom, and in the slang (俚语) terms of the time, they were called “U-boats”， as they were hiding just under the surface.
4. What prevented Stella from going to England
A. The loss of her father's job.
B. The danger of going abroad.
C. Her parents' objection to that.
D. The limitation of her freedom.
5. What did Stella study in college
A. Fashion.
B. Jazz.
C. Politics.
D. Composition.
6. How old was Stella when Manfred passed away
A. About 10 years old.
B. About 17 years old.
C. About 20 years old.
D. About 21 years old.
7. Why did some people get the name “U-boats”？
A. They were living by rowing boats.
B. They often hid their identities during the war.
C. They often fought against enemies by boat.
D. They were working in factories for making boats.

A carbon capturing device, called Orca, began operating in Iceland. The machine was invented and made by a Swiss company called Climeworks. The name comes from the Icelandic word “orka” which means energy.
Orca can pull carbon dioxide out of the air and send it deep into the ground, where it is turned into stone. The device is made up of four sections which look like giant air conditioners stacked together. Each section contains 12 large fans that suck air from outside into steel compartments.
Inside, the air passes through a filter (过滤器) which gathers the carbon dioxide. It is then heated to a high temperature so the carbon dioxide can be collected from the filter. Then, the carbon dioxide is mixed with water and put deep in the ground into a type of rock called basalt. Basalt causes the carbon dioxide mixture to turn into stone after two or three years.
Orca is an experimental device. It was built to demonstrate that it is possible to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It can remove 4,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air each year. That's about the same amount as the emissions produced by 850 cars in a year. In order to remove enough carbon dioxide to make a big difference to global warming, much larger devices like Orca would have to be built in many countries around the world.
Some environmental activists say governments should spend more time and money on reducing the amount of greenhouse gas we produce each year, instead of investing in carbon capture methods. But others say that, in order for countries to meet their goal of net zero emissions by 2050, they will need to do both: reduce new emissions and remove the carbon dioxide already in the air.
8. What's the purpose of designing Orca
A. To conserve energy.
B. To achieve zero emissions.
C. To protect natural resources.
D. To remove carbon dioxide in the air.
9. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2
A. Orca.
B. The basalt.
C. The air.
D. Carbon dioxide.
10. How does Orca work
a. Sucking the air.
b. Collecting the carbon dioxide.
c. Mixing with water.
d. Filtering and heating.
e. Putting into the ground.
A. a, d, b, c, e
B. a, c, d, b, e
C. a, d, c, b, e
D. a, b, c, d, e
11. Why are some environmentalists not in favour of Orca
A. Reducing emissions is more important.
B. It might result in new pollution.
C. The technology is not mature.
D. It doesn't work efficiently.
D
A team of conservationists (环境保护主义者) captured 14 Loa water frogs earlier this month in northern Chile, a wildlife group reported.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists the Loa water frog as “critically endangered”. The not-for-profit Global Wildlife Conservation group said the 14 frogs were in poor condition when they were discovered in late June. The animals were small and struggling because of a lack of food and water.
The Loa water frogs are known to live only in a single body of water near Calama, in Chile. The city sits in the middle of the Atacama Desert, where water is in great demand.
There was little water in the area where the frogs were found, the conservation group reported. The frogs' environment had mostly dried up because water is being taken away and used for human activities, the group said. The activities include mining, agriculture and land development. “All of the frogs had been pushed into a tiny pool of muddy water，” the organisation said. “The team collected the last 14 individuals and brought them to the National Zoo of Chile to start a conservation breeding programme.”
Zoo specialists are closely watching the small creatures and trying to give them everything they need to survive and be healthy. Conservation groups have called on Chile's government to take steps to halt any illegal water usage that threatens the frogs' natural environment. They would also like to see creation of a government-supported shelter to protect the animals.
Jon Paul Rodriguez heads the IUCN's Species Survival Commission. He suggested that an emergency plan be developed to prepare the Calama area for the frogs' return.
“We need to work very hard to restore their environment because it's pointless to breed them if they don't have a home to go back to in the wild，” Rodriguez said.
12. What do we know about the frogs when they were rescued
A. They were looking for food.
B. They were in good condition.
C. They were approaching death.
D. They were moving for new water sources.
13. What has made these frogs endangered
A. Lack of water. B． Water pollution.
C. Human hunting. D． Extreme climate.
14. What does the underlined word “halt” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Improve. B． Increase.
C. Change. D． Stop.
15. What did Jon Paul Rodriguez suggest humans do for these frogs
A. Keep them healthy.
B. Recover their home.
C. Raise them in the shelter.
D. Prevent them living in the wild.
Ⅱ. 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. : there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's curiosity.
Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, I said, “Now that we've finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science？”
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why？” .
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, . When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.
Thirdly, . Once you have a child in a science discussion, don't jump in with “That's right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behaviour. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That's interesting” or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Lastly, . Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television programme. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.
A. show; don't tell
B. watch your language
C. no time for a child to think
D. Never push a child to wait
E. Helping them enjoy science can be easy
F. children are always thinking without your telling them to
G. This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours

Like the people of La Palma, I 33 others to get me through—from the English woman who 34 me a bag of oranges from her garden to the minister of the church who let me use the bathroom after being trapped at the top of a mountain.

Every year, Tia Vargas and her dad go hiking. This summer's trip was up Table Rock in the Grand Tetons in early July. Vargas was just below the 11,000-foot peak with her dad waiting about a mile down the trail (路线) when she ran into a family of hikers who had found an injured English springer spaniel (斯宾格猎犬)．
They couldn't find the limping (跛的) pup's owner and, because the family were hiking with kids, Vargas figured it would be easier for her to carry the pup to safety.
“I had to crawl under him to get him up on my shoulders，” Vargas, a single mother of three from Idaho, tells MNN. “I felt the difficulty of it right away. I never felt 55 pounds like that before.” Vargas soon ran into her dad, Ted Kasper, who snapped some photos when he saw his daughter coming down the trail with a dog on her shoulders. “Dad laughed and said, ‘Isn't this hike hard enough You have to carry a dog too？’” Vargas recalls. “My dad makes me laugh. He is such a great man.”
“That sense of humour helped me get through the hard journey of carrying the heavy dog down the steep trail，” Vargas said. The trip was hard and nearly unbearable at times. “Every time I put him down to rest, it was difficult. And every time I got down on my knees to put my head under his belly and try to use neck and body strength to lift him, it was painful and difficult. I thought we would see people on the trail on the way down to help. But that wasn't the case，” she said.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。

Sport Teaches You Character
We all want to win and know what it is like to lose. Six weeks ago, I participated in a city marathon for amateurs which was being organised to help raise money for charity. I ran my race relaxed and confident, even though my limits were being tested like never before. I didn't care about the result.
Almost nobody likes to come second, but whether you come first or last, it is important to remember that at any sporting event, you face two opponents: your fellow competitors and yourself. A true sports person will make the right decisions for the right reasons and never worry about failure.

The group of three got lost once because of the fallen trees that made the trail disappear. What was worse, it started to drizzle. However, they couldn't wait for the rain to stop because it was getting dark and the dog was whining and obviously in pain, so they inched their way down the slippery slope while looking for the trail. Fortunately, it wasn't long before they got back on track and the sky cleared up. “It didn't rain cats and dogs, but a dog，” Kasper said jokingly. “At one point, the thought of giving up crossed my mind. My legs hurt and were shaking but my dad's jokes and the dog's watery eyes gave me strength，” Vargas recalls.
Finally hiking six miles and reaching the bottom of the trail, Vargas found a very small note that said, “Lost dog named Boomer, call this number.” On their way to the vet, she called the owners, who thought for sure Boomer was dead. They had gone hiking together the day before and Boomer had fallen off a cliff. The family rushed down to look for him until dark but in vain. When they found out that Boomer was still alive, they were so blissful that they drove to the vet without delay. To their relief, Boomer only had a dislocated joint and was in a cast. The owners also told Vargas that they were moving to another city because of work and couldn't take Boomer with them. With a brilliant smile on her face, Vargas stroked Boomer's head and asked if it would like to go home with her. Boomer licked her hand gently, wagging its tail. This downhill battle turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Gerhard and Toni Goldschlag welcomed their daughter Stella on July 10, 1922. Gerhard—a former soldier in the German Imperial Army—was a musician devoted to German music. He was employed as a composer (作曲家) by the Kulturbund. Both Toni and Gerhard were particularly devoted to their only child: they loved her dearly, gave her everything they had, and taught her what was to be admired.
The World War Ⅱ broke out. Gerhard was out of work, finances were non-existent, and they were unable to secure a way out of Germany. When Stella's school offered her the chance to head to Britain on a school trip (and then stay there), her parents said no. They weren't separating the family, so they had no choice but to stay in a country that was getting increasingly dangerous.
At first, Traces of War says that Stella Goldschlag enjoyed a certain amount of freedom. She went to college, studied fashion, and joined a jazz band as a singer. It was there that she met and married her first husband, Manfred Kubler.
Her luck didn't last long, though. Her husband wasn't so fortunate. He was arrested and forced to leave for Auschwitz on May 3,1943. He died there just two days later, just 20 years old.
Stella and her mother continued to work in factories while trying to avoid arrest. However, they weren't the only ones who tried to survive the war by hiding right in the open. Around 7,000 managed to hold on to their freedom, and in the slang (俚语) terms of the time, they were called “U-boats”， as they were hiding just under the surface.
4. What prevented Stella from going to England
A. The loss of her father's job.
B. The danger of going abroad.
C. Her parents' objection to that.
D. The limitation of her freedom.
5. What did Stella study in college
A. Fashion.
B. Jazz.
C. Politics.
D. Composition.
6. How old was Stella when Manfred passed away
A. About 10 years old.
B. About 17 years old.
C. About 20 years old.
D. About 21 years old.
7. Why did some people get the name “U-boats”？
A. They were living by rowing boats.
B. They often hid their identities during the war.
C. They often fought against enemies by boat.
D. They were working in factories for making boats.

A carbon capturing device, called Orca, began operating in Iceland. The machine was invented and made by a Swiss company called Climeworks. The name comes from the Icelandic word “orka” which means energy.
Orca can pull carbon dioxide out of the air and send it deep into the ground, where it is turned into stone. The device is made up of four sections which look like giant air conditioners stacked together. Each section contains 12 large fans that suck air from outside into steel compartments.
Inside, the air passes through a filter (过滤器) which gathers the carbon dioxide. It is then heated to a high temperature so the carbon dioxide can be collected from the filter. Then, the carbon dioxide is mixed with water and put deep in the ground into a type of rock called basalt. Basalt causes the carbon dioxide mixture to turn into stone after two or three years.
Orca is an experimental device. It was built to demonstrate that it is possible to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It can remove 4,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air each year. That's about the same amount as the emissions produced by 850 cars in a year. In order to remove enough carbon dioxide to make a big difference to global warming, much larger devices like Orca would have to be built in many countries around the world.
Some environmental activists say governments should spend more time and money on reducing the amount of greenhouse gas we produce each year, instead of investing in carbon capture methods. But others say that, in order for countries to meet their goal of net zero emissions by 2050, they will need to do both: reduce new emissions and remove the carbon dioxide already in the air.
8. What's the purpose of designing Orca
A. To conserve energy.
B. To achieve zero emissions.
C. To protect natural resources.
D. To remove carbon dioxide in the air.
9. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2
A. Orca.
B. The basalt.
C. The air.
D. Carbon dioxide.
10. How does Orca work
a. Sucking the air.
b. Collecting the carbon dioxide.
c. Mixing with water.
d. Filtering and heating.
e. Putting into the ground.
A. a, d, b, c, e
B. a, c, d, b, e
C. a, d, c, b, e
D. a, b, c, d, e
11. Why are some environmentalists not in favour of Orca
A. Reducing emissions is more important.
B. It might result in new pollution.
C. The technology is not mature.
D. It doesn't work efficiently.
D
A team of conservationists (环境保护主义者) captured 14 Loa water frogs earlier this month in northern Chile, a wildlife group reported.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists the Loa water frog as “critically endangered”. The not-for-profit Global Wildlife Conservation group said the 14 frogs were in poor condition when they were discovered in late June. The animals were small and struggling because of a lack of food and water.
The Loa water frogs are known to live only in a single body of water near Calama, in Chile. The city sits in the middle of the Atacama Desert, where water is in great demand.
There was little water in the area where the frogs were found, the conservation group reported. The frogs' environment had mostly dried up because water is being taken away and used for human activities, the group said. The activities include mining, agriculture and land development. “All of the frogs had been pushed into a tiny pool of muddy water，” the organisation said. “The team collected the last 14 individuals and brought them to the National Zoo of Chile to start a conservation breeding programme.”
Zoo specialists are closely watching the small creatures and trying to give them everything they need to survive and be healthy. Conservation groups have called on Chile's government to take steps to halt any illegal water usage that threatens the frogs' natural environment. They would also like to see creation of a government-supported shelter to protect the animals.
Jon Paul Rodriguez heads the IUCN's Species Survival Commission. He suggested that an emergency plan be developed to prepare the Calama area for the frogs' return.
“We need to work very hard to restore their environment because it's pointless to breed them if they don't have a home to go back to in the wild，” Rodriguez said.
12. What do we know about the frogs when they were rescued
A. They were looking for food.
B. They were in good condition.
C. They were approaching death.
D. They were moving for new water sources.
13. What has made these frogs endangered
A. Lack of water. B． Water pollution.
C. Human hunting. D． Extreme climate.
14. What does the underlined word “halt” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Improve. B． Increase.
C. Change. D． Stop.
15. What did Jon Paul Rodriguez suggest humans do for these frogs
A. Keep them healthy.
B. Recover their home.
C. Raise them in the shelter.
D. Prevent them living in the wild.

Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. : there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's curiosity.
Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, I said, “Now that we've finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science？”
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why？” .
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, . When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.
Thirdly, . Once you have a child in a science discussion, don't jump in with “That's right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behaviour. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That's interesting” or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Lastly, . Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television programme. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.
A. show; don't tell
B. watch your language
C. no time for a child to think
D. Never push a child to wait
E. Helping them enjoy science can be easy
F. children are always thinking without your telling them to
G. This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours

Every year, Tia Vargas and her dad go hiking. This summer's trip was up Table Rock in the Grand Tetons in early July. Vargas was just below the 11,000-foot peak with her dad waiting about a mile down the trail (路线) when she ran into a family of hikers who had found an injured English springer spaniel (斯宾格猎犬)．
They couldn't find the limping (跛的) pup's owner and, because the family were hiking with kids, Vargas figured it would be easier for her to carry the pup to safety.
“I had to crawl under him to get him up on my shoulders，” Vargas, a single mother of three from Idaho, tells MNN. “I felt the difficulty of it right away. I never felt 55 pounds like that before.” Vargas soon ran into her dad, Ted Kasper, who snapped some photos when he saw his daughter coming down the trail with a dog on her shoulders. “Dad laughed and said, ‘Isn't this hike hard enough You have to carry a dog too？’” Vargas recalls. “My dad makes me laugh. He is such a great man.”
“That sense of humour helped me get through the hard journey of carrying the heavy dog down the steep trail，” Vargas said. The trip was hard and nearly unbearable at times. “Every time I put him down to rest, it was difficult. And every time I got down on my knees to put my head under his belly and try to use neck and body strength to lift him, it was painful and difficult. I thought we would see people on the trail on the way down to help. But that wasn't the case，” she said.

Sport Teaches You Character
We all want to win and know what it is like to lose. Six weeks ago, I participated in a city marathon for amateurs which was being organised to help raise money for charity. I ran my race relaxed and confident, even though my limits were being tested like never before. I didn't care about the result.
Almost nobody likes to come second, but whether you come first or last, it is important to remember that at any sporting event, you face two opponents: your fellow competitors and yourself. A true sports person will make the right decisions for the right reasons and never worry about failure.

The group of three got lost once because of the fallen trees that made the trail disappear. What was worse, it started to drizzle. However, they couldn't wait for the rain to stop because it was getting dark and the dog was whining and obviously in pain, so they inched their way down the slippery slope while looking for the trail. Fortunately, it wasn't long before they got back on track and the sky cleared up. “It didn't rain cats and dogs, but a dog，” Kasper said jokingly. “At one point, the thought of giving up crossed my mind. My legs hurt and were shaking but my dad's jokes and the dog's watery eyes gave me strength，” Vargas recalls.
Finally hiking six miles and reaching the bottom of the trail, Vargas found a very small note that said, “Lost dog named Boomer, call this number.” On their way to the vet, she called the owners, who thought for sure Boomer was dead. They had gone hiking together the day before and Boomer had fallen off a cliff. The family rushed down to look for him until dark but in vain. When they found out that Boomer was still alive, they were so blissful that they drove to the vet without delay. To their relief, Boomer only had a dislocated joint and was in a cast. The owners also told Vargas that they were moving to another city because of work and couldn't take Boomer with them. With a brilliant smile on her face, Vargas stroked Boomer's head and asked if it would like to go home with her. Boomer licked her hand gently, wagging its tail. This downhill battle turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
