Dear Mary,
It was so nice to read your letter the other day. I have always dreamed about having a pen friend. Hopefully, we can learn from each other and grow to be the very best of friends. It is my wish that our letters will let us get to know each other and share parts of our lives.21cnjy.com
Your horse?Shannon?sounds beautiful. I am very jealous (羡慕的) that you get to live on a farm. I cannot imagine how much fun it is to ride a horse through endless fields and I would love to come and visit you one day. Your siblings (兄弟姊妹) also sound lovely. I am an only child, so I can only imagine what it is like to have older brothers and sisters.
Life in?New York?is so busy and it is difficult to find the time to get to know people. Even becoming close to my classmates has proved to be quite difficult over the years. However, at times it can be the most amazing city in the whole wide world. At night it is so bright and lively and the whole place is full of things to do.
I love reading too! I have never read any books by your favorite author Enid Blyton though. I will have to go to my local library and find some. I also enjoy dancing and often enter competitions. My other favorite hobby is ice skating. In winter, I skate in?Central Park. In the other seasons, I go to an indoor rink (溜冰场). I am hoping to start entering ice skating competitions next year.
Anyway, I have to go now and do my homework. I really hope that I hear from you soon!

Skiing has always been a big part of Mikaela Shiffrin’s life. Her dad ski raced all through college and her mom raced and coached skiing. The Shiffrins taught Mikaela and her brother, Taylor, to ski at a very young age. At two and a half years old, Mikaela made her first ski run down her driveway on plastic skis.
Mikaela loved skiing. From ages 8 to 11, she did hundreds of training runs on small hills to learn the skills of slalom skiing (障碍滑雪). When Mikaela was 11, she began to learn at the?Burke?Mountain?Academy, a?Vermont?boarding school for skiers. She took classes, studied, and practiced her skiing. According to Burke Mountain Academy headmaster Kirk Dwyer,?“What separated Mikaela from others was the degree of her commitment (投入) to be the best. Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now.” At age 14, Mikaela began her international career when she raced in the world championships for 13- and 14-year-olds. And she won!【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
By the time she was 17, she had already won her first World Cup race. “Living away from home four and five months at a time can be difficult,” Mikaela says. “But it can also be exciting. I’m getting to see the world.” When Mikaela began ski racing in?Europe, her mother, Eileen, stayed with her. She worked as her high-school teacher while they were on the road. “She has always been a super-hard worker,” says Eileen.
For Mikaela, working hard is a full-time job. Even her off-season is work time. “If you want something, just try your best,” she says. At the 2014 Winter Olympic Games inSochi,?Russia, 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin became the youngest slalom skier ever to win an Olympic gold medal.21·世纪*教育网

The world’s largest online encyclopaedia (百科全书),?Wikipedia, is celebrating its 15th birthday. Founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Singer,?Wikipedia?is the world’s tenth most popular website. It is available in 270 languages and has a total of 35 million articles, with 20,000 being added each month.
The first non-English versions (版本) of the online encyclopaedia were in German, Catalan, Swedish, Spanish, French and Russian. The English version is the largest with over 5 million articles. The website can be edited (编辑) by everyone. At present, about 80,000 volunteers around the world write articles for it. They are?monitored?by hundreds of editors who correct information if it is wrong. In the early days of the encyclopaedia, users had their doubts about using?Wikipedia, because many mistakes were found and some experts said it was not serious enough. As time went on, however, the online encyclopaedia grew and grew. It brought down Microsoft’s Encarta, which was the largest digital (数码的) encyclopaedia at that time, and the printed version of?Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Today, for almost any topic the first hit you get from Google is almost always a Wikipedia article. The Wikimedia Foundation runs the encyclopaedia and it raises money to pay its 400 employees (雇员). With the money it can also keep Wikipedia free from advertisements. The foundation says that it wants to raise 100 million dollars over the next decade to keep?Wikipedia?running.
In any case,?Wikipedia?is still growing. It has many sister projects, including?Wikimedia Commons, a database with millions of images, or?Wikidata, a free database that everyone can edit. Even though the encyclopaedia may not be the main source of information for scientists and other experts, it has helped change the world of research and knowledge.
29. According to the text,?Wikipedia?_____.
A. has a history of more than 20 years
B. provides information in 270 languages
C. is the largest encyclopaedia in the world
D. has been the world’s most popular website

Did you know that a drop of your blood can predict (预测) diseases you may develop in the future? This is possible through genetic (基因的) testing. The most common type of genetic testing is called?“newborn screening,”?which is done to find treatable genetic disorders in newborn babies. In many countries, babies are screened in the hospital shortly after they are born. Although it is unusual to find that a baby has a genetic disorder, those that do have a disorder start receiving treatment right away.21教育网
Another type of genetic testing is called “predictive gene testing.” This is used to predict an adult’s risk of developing certain diseases later in life. There are many obvious advantages. A negative test (a test that says a person is not likely to develop a disorder) can help people feel really relaxed. Jen Thomson, who recently underwent predictive gene testing for colon cancer, explains, “So many people in my family died of colon cancer, which has made me really worried. When the test came back negative, I felt as if someone had lifted a large weight off my shoulders.”【出处：21教育名师】
There are also some controversial (有争议的) downsides to genetic testing. Alzheimer’s disease runs in An Lee’s family. An has decided to get genetic testing to see if she is likely to develop it. However, her husband Bao is not happy about her decision. Bao explains,?“If the result is positive (阳性的), how will it help to know that she will probably develop the disease? If I had the Alzheimer’s gene, I wouldn’t want to know.”?Another problem is that even if someone tests positively for a disease, it doesn’t mean that they will surely develop the disease. So a person could spend years worrying about something that will never happen.
32. Which of the following is TRUE of newborn screening?
A. It can only be done on certain babies.
B. It is unacceptable in many countries.
C. It can treat any kind of disorder.
D. It helps see if a baby is healthy.
33. What was the problem with Jen Thomson?
A. Something was wrong with her shoulders.
B. She was afraid of developing colon cancer.
C. A positive test changed her life completely.
D. Alzheimer’s disease destroyed her memory.
34. What Bao says in the last paragraph shows a feeling of _____.
A. peace?????? ?????????????????
B. pride?
C. doubt?????? ?????????????????
D. loneliness
35. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To explain what genetic testing is for.
B. To encourage people to take a genetic test.
C. To give a description of Alzheimer’s disease.
D. To show the influence of a positive test on patients.21*cnjy*com

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Our peers usually have a great influence on our lives. However, when it comes to learning valuable lessons about life, we learn much more from older people than our peers.21*cnjy*com
Unlike our peers, older people have a better understanding of life.??36??So we can learn more from their seasoned knowledge. Many of my friends spend little time on their lessons and they just use their time to have fun. However, my uncle has taught me that if I focus on (专注于) studying instead of playing all the time, my life will be more fulfilling (有成就的) later on.??37?
Also, older people can point us in the right direction and away from the mistakes they have already made. If we simply follow our peers, we will often run into similar problems.??38??My brother tried out for the football team last year and did not make it. Many of his peers told him to give up on the sport forever. But my father helped him realize that giving up was not the answer. Then my brother practiced harder.??39??In?the end, older people can help us make the right decisions when we are in difficulties.
?40??Older people have more life experience, and they can give us excellent advice.
A. People who are your age are called peers.
B. That’s because they have already been through it.
C. In short, we learn more from older people than our peers.
D. It’s human nature to learn from other people in your age group.
E. However, we can avoid them if we listen and learn from our elders.
F.? This year, not only did he make the team, but he was also the captain.
G. Without his advice, I would not realize the importance of a good education.

On January 20, 1925, Dr. Curtis Welch examined a 3-year-old boy, Billy Barnett. He had a deadly disease called diphtheria. There was no medicine in?Nome,?Alaska. The closest supply was 1,000 miles away, in the city of?Anchorage. But how could the medicine reach?Nome? The town was almost completely cut off from the rest of the world in winter. By January 26, Billy and three other children had died. Twenty more were sick.21世纪教育网版权所有
There was only one way to get the medicine to Nome?—?along an icy dogsled trail (狗拉雪橇小路). Town officials decided to have the medicine sent by train fromAnchorage?to the town of?Nenana. From there, dogsled drivers?—?known as?“mushers”?—?would carry it to Nome. The mushers would race in a relay. Each team would travel part of the route.
The trip usually took 25 days. But the mushers were the most experienced dogsled drivers in?Alaska. They hoped to complete the difficult task in just 10 days.?
The race began on January?27 in?the night. A musher named “Wild Bill”?Shannon?picked up a 20-pound box of medicine from the train. The temperature was 50 degrees below zero.?Shannon?had to run next to his sled to keep warm. After a night’s ride, he handed the medicine to the next musher.
On January 31, Leonhard Seppala picked up the medicine. Seppala had to cross a frozen body of water called?Norton Sound. It was the most dangerous part of the journey. The ice would sometimes break up. If that happened, Seppala might fall into the icy water below. But Seppala made it across.
By February 1, the medicine was close to?Nome. But a huge snowstorm had hit. Conditions were so bad that Gunnar Kaasen couldn’t find the trail. Balto, Kaasen’s lead dog, put his nose to the ground. Suddenly, Balto found the trail. The team raced on.

Bounty hunting is a job that exists (存在) in just two countries?—?the US and the Philippines. A bounty hunter’s main job is to catch fugitives for an amount of money as a reward. A fugitive is a person who is running away to avoid punishment. They’ve gone missing and are probably on their way to the Mexican or Canadian border (边界). The bounty hunter must find the fugitive and bring them back.
The bounty hunter has to work quickly. They will check up on the fugitive’s friends, family and workmates to try to find a lead. They may also get in touch with underground criminal (犯罪的) movements to see if anyone can tell them something about the fugitive. Sometimes they get lucky, other times they have to be patient.
Making the arrest (逮捕) is the hardest part of the job. In some cases, the fugitive has no intention of returning to the legal system. They may face a life in prison?—?and will do anything to avoid that. The bounty hunter has to prepare the ground carefully so the arrest can be made as smoothly as possible.www-2-1-cnjy-com
One of the most famous bounty hunters from the 19th century was John Riley Duncan (1850-1911). He was a?Texas?lawman who was most famous for his part in catching Wes Hardin (1853-1895). Hardin was a tough gunman who had killed over thirty men.
John Duncan joined the Texas Rangers in July 1877. The Texas Rangers were (and still are) an organization working to catch fugitives.?Duncan?found out that Hardin and several of his friends had bought tickets for a train leaving from?Pensacola?station in?Florida. On August 24,?Duncan?placed his men in key positions in the train and around the station. After a fight, Hardin was caught, but one of his mates (Jim Mann) was killed. Later, Hardin was transported by train back to?Texas. In the end, he served 17 years in prison for his crimes.?Duncan?ended his service with the Texas Rangers shortly after arresting Hardin, and spent the rest of his life as a bounty hunter, working mostly in?Dallas.
6. What do bounty hunters try to do at the beginning of a job?
A. Spend some time with the fugitive.
B. Wait for the appearance of the fugitive.

8. Hardin was caught after?Duncan?_____.

Dear Jack,
I have something exciting to tell you.?Our school held a sports meeting at the school stadium last week. The event included all kinds of track and field competitions. Four boys from my class took part in the 4×100m?relay race. Our team took the lead at first. But Wang Hui, the last to run, fell down suddenly when he took the stick from another boy. His knee was injured, but he stood up and kept on running towards the finish line. Deeply touched by his courage, all the audience cheered loudly. Although he was the last one to reach the finish line, our class was rewarded the Excellent Group Award because he didn’t give up.
Do you have anything interesting to tell me?

Skiing has always been a big part of Mikaela Shiffrin’s life. Her dad ski raced all through college and her mom raced and coached skiing. The Shiffrins taught Mikaela and her brother, Taylor, to ski at a very young age. At two and a half years old, Mikaela made her first ski run down her driveway on plastic skis.
Mikaela loved skiing. From ages 8 to 11, she did hundreds of training runs on small hills to learn the skills of slalom skiing (障碍滑雪). When Mikaela was 11, she began to learn at the?Burke?Mountain?Academy, a?Vermont?boarding school for skiers. She took classes, studied, and practiced her skiing. According to Burke Mountain Academy headmaster Kirk Dwyer,?“What separated Mikaela from others was the degree of her commitment (投入) to be the best. Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now.” At age 14, Mikaela began her international career when she raced in the world championships for 13- and 14-year-olds. And she won!【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
By the time she was 17, she had already won her first World Cup race. “Living away from home four and five months at a time can be difficult,” Mikaela says. “But it can also be exciting. I’m getting to see the world.” When Mikaela began ski racing in?Europe, her mother, Eileen, stayed with her. She worked as her high-school teacher while they were on the road. “She has always been a super-hard worker,” says Eileen.
For Mikaela, working hard is a full-time job. Even her off-season is work time. “If you want something, just try your best,” she says. At the 2014 Winter Olympic Games inSochi,?Russia, 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin became the youngest slalom skier ever to win an Olympic gold medal.21·世纪*教育网

The world’s largest online encyclopaedia (百科全书),?Wikipedia, is celebrating its 15th birthday. Founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Singer,?Wikipedia?is the world’s tenth most popular website. It is available in 270 languages and has a total of 35 million articles, with 20,000 being added each month.
The first non-English versions (版本) of the online encyclopaedia were in German, Catalan, Swedish, Spanish, French and Russian. The English version is the largest with over 5 million articles. The website can be edited (编辑) by everyone. At present, about 80,000 volunteers around the world write articles for it. They are?monitored?by hundreds of editors who correct information if it is wrong. In the early days of the encyclopaedia, users had their doubts about using?Wikipedia, because many mistakes were found and some experts said it was not serious enough. As time went on, however, the online encyclopaedia grew and grew. It brought down Microsoft’s Encarta, which was the largest digital (数码的) encyclopaedia at that time, and the printed version of?Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Today, for almost any topic the first hit you get from Google is almost always a Wikipedia article. The Wikimedia Foundation runs the encyclopaedia and it raises money to pay its 400 employees (雇员). With the money it can also keep Wikipedia free from advertisements. The foundation says that it wants to raise 100 million dollars over the next decade to keep?Wikipedia?running.
In any case,?Wikipedia?is still growing. It has many sister projects, including?Wikimedia Commons, a database with millions of images, or?Wikidata, a free database that everyone can edit. Even though the encyclopaedia may not be the main source of information for scientists and other experts, it has helped change the world of research and knowledge.
29. According to the text,?Wikipedia?_____.

Did you know that a drop of your blood can predict (预测) diseases you may develop in the future? This is possible through genetic (基因的) testing. The most common type of genetic testing is called?“newborn screening,”?which is done to find treatable genetic disorders in newborn babies. In many countries, babies are screened in the hospital shortly after they are born. Although it is unusual to find that a baby has a genetic disorder, those that do have a disorder start receiving treatment right away.21教育网
Another type of genetic testing is called “predictive gene testing.” This is used to predict an adult’s risk of developing certain diseases later in life. There are many obvious advantages. A negative test (a test that says a person is not likely to develop a disorder) can help people feel really relaxed. Jen Thomson, who recently underwent predictive gene testing for colon cancer, explains, “So many people in my family died of colon cancer, which has made me really worried. When the test came back negative, I felt as if someone had lifted a large weight off my shoulders.”【出处：21教育名师】
There are also some controversial (有争议的) downsides to genetic testing. Alzheimer’s disease runs in An Lee’s family. An has decided to get genetic testing to see if she is likely to develop it. However, her husband Bao is not happy about her decision. Bao explains,?“If the result is positive (阳性的), how will it help to know that she will probably develop the disease? If I had the Alzheimer’s gene, I wouldn’t want to know.”?Another problem is that even if someone tests positively for a disease, it doesn’t mean that they will surely develop the disease. So a person could spend years worrying about something that will never happen.
32. Which of the following is TRUE of newborn screening?
A. It can only be done on certain babies.
B. It is unacceptable in many countries.
C. It can treat any kind of disorder.
D. It helps see if a baby is healthy.
33. What was the problem with Jen Thomson?
A. Something was wrong with her shoulders.
B. She was afraid of developing colon cancer.
C. A positive test changed her life completely.
D. Alzheimer’s disease destroyed her memory.
34. What Bao says in the last paragraph shows a feeling of _____.
A. peace?????? ?????????????????
B. pride?
C. doubt?????? ?????????????????
D. loneliness
35. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To explain what genetic testing is for.
B. To encourage people to take a genetic test.
C. To give a description of Alzheimer’s disease.
D. To show the influence of a positive test on patients.21*cnjy*com

Our peers usually have a great influence on our lives. However, when it comes to learning valuable lessons about life, we learn much more from older people than our peers.21*cnjy*com
Unlike our peers, older people have a better understanding of life.??36??So we can learn more from their seasoned knowledge.

Also, older people can point us in the right direction and away from the mistakes they have already made. If we simply follow our peers, we will often run into similar problems.??38??My brother tried out for the football team last year and did not make it. Many of his peers told him to give up on the sport forever. But my father helped him realize that giving up was not the answer. Then my brother practiced harder.??39??In?the end, older people can help us make the right decisions when we are in difficulties.

On January 20, 1925, Dr. Curtis Welch examined a 3-year-old boy, Billy Barnett. He had a deadly disease called diphtheria. There was no medicine in?Nome,?Alaska. The closest supply was 1,000 miles away, in the city of?Anchorage. But how could the medicine reach?Nome? The town was almost completely cut off from the rest of the world in winter. By January 26, Billy and three other children had died. Twenty more were sick.21世纪教育网版权所有
There was only one way to get the medicine to Nome?—?along an icy dogsled trail (狗拉雪橇小路). Town officials decided to have the medicine sent by train fromAnchorage?to the town of?Nenana. From there, dogsled drivers?—?known as?“mushers”?—?would carry it to Nome. The mushers would race in a relay. Each team would travel part of the route.
The trip usually took 25 days. But the mushers were the most experienced dogsled drivers in?Alaska. They hoped to complete the difficult task in just 10 days.?
The race began on January?27 in?the night. A musher named “Wild Bill”?Shannon?picked up a 20-pound box of medicine from the train. The temperature was 50 degrees below zero.?Shannon?had to run next to his sled to keep warm. After a night’s ride, he handed the medicine to the next musher.
On January 31, Leonhard Seppala picked up the medicine. Seppala had to cross a frozen body of water called?Norton Sound. It was the most dangerous part of the journey. The ice would sometimes break up. If that happened, Seppala might fall into the icy water below. But Seppala made it across.
By February 1, the medicine was close to?Nome. But a huge snowstorm had hit. Conditions were so bad that Gunnar Kaasen couldn’t find the trail. Balto, Kaasen’s lead dog, put his nose to the ground. Suddenly, Balto found the trail. The team raced on.
Early on the morning of February 2, Kaasen and his dogs arrived in?Nome. Soon Dr. Welch gave the medicine to the sick kids. All of them recovered.?Nome?had been saved.

Bounty hunting is a job that exists (存在) in just two countries?—?the US and the Philippines. A bounty hunter’s main job is to catch fugitives for an amount of money as a reward. A fugitive is a person who is running away to avoid punishment. They’ve gone missing and are probably on their way to the Mexican or Canadian border (边界). The bounty hunter must find the fugitive and bring them back.
The bounty hunter has to work quickly. They will check up on the fugitive’s friends, family and workmates to try to find a lead. They may also get in touch with underground criminal (犯罪的) movements to see if anyone can tell them something about the fugitive. Sometimes they get lucky, other times they have to be patient.
Making the arrest (逮捕) is the hardest part of the job. In some cases, the fugitive has no intention of returning to the legal system. They may face a life in prison?—?and will do anything to avoid that. The bounty hunter has to prepare the ground carefully so the arrest can be made as smoothly as possible.www-2-1-cnjy-com

Dear Jack,
I have something exciting to tell you.?Our school held a sports meeting at the school stadium last week. The event included all kinds of track and field competitions. Four boys from my class took part in the 4×100m?relay race. Our team took the lead at first. But Wang Hui, the last to run, fell down suddenly when he took the stick from another boy. His knee was injured, but he stood up and kept on running towards the finish line. Deeply touched by his courage, all the audience cheered loudly. Although he was the last one to reach the finish line, our class was rewarded the Excellent Group Award because he didn’t give up.
Do you have anything interesting to tell me?
Best wishes,
Li Hua
