At eleven, I decided to learn to swim. There was a pool at the Y.M.C.A. offering exactly the opportunity. Mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the Y.M.C.A. pool was safe.
I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and father took me to the beach. The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.
The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, "Hi, Skinny! How'd you like to be ducked?" With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits（机智）-when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.
When came to consciousness（意识）, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital.
I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by. It prevented me from the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor（教练）. Piece by piece, he built swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not. Sometimes the terror（恐怖）would return.
This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Wentworth. Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said. "Well, Mr. Terror, what do you think you can do to me?"
I had taken complete control of my fear of water.
24. The author's original fear of water was caused by .
A. his poor skill in swimming B. an outing to the beach with his father
C. his mother's warning of drowning D. an unpleasant memory of the pool
25. Why was the author not scared to death when he was thrown into the water?
A. He knew how to swim in the pool. B. He felt that the Y. M. C.A. pool was safe.
C. He came up with an idea to go upwards. D. He was waiting for others to save him.
26. By "but I was not" in paragraph 5, the author probably means " ".
A. he had not overcome the fear yet B. he was still a poor swimmer
C. he was not afraid of drowning any more D. he was not satisfied with the swimming training
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. My Passion for Swimming B. Hello. Childhood Fear
C. A Swimming Adventure D. Goodbye, Mr. Terror
C
The planting or woodlands in upland areas could play a key role in preventing the flooding which has increasingly affected communities across the world in recent years.
A new study by the University of Plymouth has shown that within just 15 years of being planted, native broadleaf trees can have a great effect on soil's response during extreme weather events. It means that the huge amount of rainwater can be more readily absorbed, rather than simply running over the surface and into rivers where it probably causes severe flooding.
Scientists say their findings show planting more native woodlands in upland areas could be an effective and natural flood management tool. There have been a number of extreme rainfall and flooding events in recent years, and they are predicted to increase in both frequency and seriousness in the future as a result of human-caused climate change.
They show that in areas where new woodlands have been planted, the ability of soil to absorb water is almost double that of areas with no trees, associated with increases in soil macro-pores-（大孔隙）and reductions in soil compaction（压实）. This means the speed at which rainwater enters rivers during rainfall events is obviously reduced, which helps lower peak flow.
However, the nature of the soil and location of the woodlands are also critical to their success, with steep hillside on the edge of upland areas providing the most effective location for tree plantations to serve as an effective flood prevention tool.
Dr Paul Lunt, Associate Professor in Environmental Science added, "There are a lot of weak upland catchment（集水）areas across the UK. However, by working with farmers and the government's farm woodland measures, this study has shown that damaged soil can recover rapidly. This is particularly obvious on hillsides which are traditionally not so good for farming. So there is an opportunity for a joined-up approach which could benefit the uplands themselves, but also those people living on and around them."
28. What advantage does planting native woodlands in upland areas have?
A. Preventing rainwater into the sky. B. Taking in plenty of rainwater.
C. Stopping the extreme weather. D. Helping rainwater run over the surface.
29. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. Trees can help reduce soil macro-pores.
. New woodlands are related to extreme weather.
C. Planting new woodlands may prevent serious flooding.
D. Scientists affect the ability of soil to absorb water.
30. What does Dr Paul Lunt mainly talk about?
A. The way of reducing flooding risks.
B. The measures of helping native farmers.
C. The cooperation between farmers and the government.
D. The benefits of planting native woodlands.
31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. New Woodlands Can Help Reduce Flooding Risks
B. Rainwater Will Ruin Mountainous Areas
C. Scientists Has Found Ways to Control Extreme Weather
D. Farmers Have Planted Many Trees to Collect Rainwater
D
Marcus Eriksen was studying Plastic pollution when he met camel expert Ulrich Wernery. They went deep into the desert and spotted a camel skeleton（骨架）. Eriksen was not prepared for what he saw in the desert. "I was just appalled," he said, "because inside the dead body of a camel was a mass of plastic bags, which was as big as a medium-sized suitcase."
Wernery is a scientist working in a research lab in Dubai. Since 2008 Wernery's team has examined 30,000 dead camels. They found 300 of those dead camels had a mass of plastic bags in their bodies. As camels wander in the desert, they eat plastic bags and other rubbish that move into trees and pile up along roadsides. "To a camel, if it's not sand, it's food," explains Eriksen.
Tightly packed masses of indigestible（难消化的）things can be built up in the digestive system of people or animals. Scientists call them bezoars（胃石）. Normally, these are made of vegetable fibers or hair. Werner and Eriksen call those found in the camels "polybezoars". It points to their origin: plastic polymers.
In a new study, Eriksen and Wernery report data suggesting that each year these polybezoars are killing off around 1 in every 100 camels. Of five camel bezoars analyzed for this study, the plastic content ranged from 3 to 64 kilograms. "If it is confirmed that 1 percent of camels died due to plastic by future and more detailed studies, then plastic pollution will certainly be important concern for camels," says Luca Nizzetto, an environmental scientist. "Such studies are important, because they raise social awareness about this pollution."
Banning plastic bags and single-use plastics is crucial for protecting camels and other wildlife, Eriksen says. "Plastic bags blow out of garbage cans, out of landfills, out of trucks and out of people's hands." What's more, he adds, "They travel for hundreds of miles."
32. What does the underlined word "appalled" in paragraph I mean?
A. Addicted. B. Delighted. C. Satisfied. D. Shocked.
33. What do Eriksen's words in paragraph 2 suggest?
A. People have cleaned rubbish in the desert.
B. Camels often mistake plastics as food.
C. Camels are always walking along the road.
D. There are 30,000 camels living in the world.
34. What can we learn about the polybezoar from paragraph 3?
A. It is related with plastic. B. It helps camels digest food.
C. It consists of vegetable fibers. D. It can also be found in humans' body.
35. What's Luca Nizzetto's attitude towards studies on the camel's death in paragraph 4?
A. Doubtful. B. Disappointed. C. Supportive. D. Careless.

Time and money are life's most valuable resources. One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money. The phrase "time is money" is usually credited to Benjamin Franklin, who used it in an essay（Advice to a Young Tradesman, 1748）. 36 He encouraged people to treat time like money. However, most people think about time and money in different ways.
37 Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. Thus, No one can get more time than others. In world of scarcity（稀缺）, we should make the best use of time.
Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited resources is that we cannot save time. 38 You can't bottle time and exchange it for an object or event. However, when people are made aware of their limited life, they wonder if they did make the most of their life. 39
In a word, time is anything but free. As a nonrenewable resource, time is quite expensive. 40 Do we want to spend these precious moments on social media or spend that time learning something new? Skills and knowledge take time. The more time you spend on them, the more you improve.
A. However, it cannot be bought at any price.
B. It means time is a valuable resource.
C. Time is our most limited resource.
D. Time moves no whether we choose to spend it or not.
E. They will try their best to do what they want.
F. How we are using our time is really a question.
G. Actually, time and money are greatly different from each other.

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。
Lt Zachary Mayo, a soldier in the USA Navy, woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. He felt too hot. He got off his bed quietly so as not to wake his shipmates. He put on his blue coat over his shorts and T-shirt- he had been sleeping in, and left for the deck（甲板）.
Zachary Mayo went up onto the deck. It was two o'clock on a Friday morning. He breathed in the fresh air and looked up at the stars in the clear night sky. And then, without thinking, he leaned out too far and lost his footing. Before he knew it, he was in the water. He tried to draw attention by shouting, but he didn't succeed. He watched the huge ship disappearing into the night. Not one of the 4,700 crew on board had seen him fall, and for nearly two days, none of his shipmates realized that he was gone.
Mayo had been taught how to make clothes into life jackets in a training camp, so he took off his coat and tied its arms and legs. Then he waved his "life jacket" over his head and filled it with air so he could stay afloat（漂浮的）. He did this many times during his floating on the sea.
During his floating on the sea for the following 34 hours, he didn't see many search planes or any boats, and twice he had seen sharks swimming around him. He was in the water for both nights. He was attacked by small fish and he was slowly dying of thirst. Mayo was sure he would die, but he thought of his family-his parents, wife and two-year-old son. "I can never give up with so much love," he said to. He wished miracle（奇迹）would happen.
Finally, he felt asleep. When he woke up, his coat were floating away from him. Feeling the death was approaching closer and closer, he tore off his T-shirt and shorts in a fit of madness and prepared to die.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just before he lost consciousness（意识）, he saw small boat.
Three days later, Lt Zachary Mayo recovered.

Dear Peter,
How is everything going Knowing from your last letter that you are quite interested in my reading, especially my favourite Chinese masterpiece/novel, I am more than pleased to share something with you.
The Ordinary World, a masterpiece of Lu Yao, is something I am crazy about. It is set in the 1970s and 1980s, and tells the stories of all walks of many ordinary people as well as the extraordinary changes of China in that period. Having read this novel several times, I am profoundly touched by their unfortunate fates and their optimisim and determination to change. They have been striving for their bright future, no matter what great difficulties they are faced with. Truly, it is a book well worth reading.
Dear friend, I'd like to ask you to recommend some English excellent novels to me in your next letter and we can share our reading experiences together.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

"I thought it was a ghost, but it wasn't a ghost. It was Lt Zachary Mayo. He was alive! It's a miracle." he told reporters.
Three days later, Lt Zachary Mayo recovered. In hospital, he talked on the phone with his family who had been told that Mayo was missing, eagerly hoping for a miracle though they were almost sure that he was dead. Mayo thought that the chance of success is for the people who are ready and it was the training he received and the love from his family that had helped himself to live through the terrible accident.

At eleven, I decided to learn to swim. There was a pool at the Y.M.C.A. offering exactly the opportunity. Mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the Y.M.C.A. pool was safe.
I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and father took me to the beach. The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.
The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, "Hi, Skinny! How'd you like to be ducked?" With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits（机智）-when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.
When came to consciousness（意识）, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital.
I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by. It prevented me from the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor（教练）. Piece by piece, he built swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not. Sometimes the terror（恐怖）would return.
This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Wentworth. Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said. "Well, Mr. Terror, what do you think you can do to me?"
I had taken complete control of my fear of water.
24. The author's original fear of water was caused by .
A. his poor skill in swimming B. an outing to the beach with his father
C. his mother's warning of drowning D. an unpleasant memory of the pool
25. Why was the author not scared to death when he was thrown into the water?
A. He knew how to swim in the pool. B. He felt that the Y. M. C.A. pool was safe.
C. He came up with an idea to go upwards. D. He was waiting for others to save him.
26. By "but I was not" in paragraph 5, the author probably means " ".
A. he had not overcome the fear yet B. he was still a poor swimmer
C. he was not afraid of drowning any more D. he was not satisfied with the swimming training
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. My Passion for Swimming B. Hello. Childhood Fear
C. A Swimming Adventure D. Goodbye, Mr. Terror
C
The planting or woodlands in upland areas could play a key role in preventing the flooding which has increasingly affected communities across the world in recent years.
A new study by the University of Plymouth has shown that within just 15 years of being planted, native broadleaf trees can have a great effect on soil's response during extreme weather events. It means that the huge amount of rainwater can be more readily absorbed, rather than simply running over the surface and into rivers where it probably causes severe flooding.
Scientists say their findings show planting more native woodlands in upland areas could be an effective and natural flood management tool. There have been a number of extreme rainfall and flooding events in recent years, and they are predicted to increase in both frequency and seriousness in the future as a result of human-caused climate change.
They show that in areas where new woodlands have been planted, the ability of soil to absorb water is almost double that of areas with no trees, associated with increases in soil macro-pores-（大孔隙）and reductions in soil compaction（压实）. This means the speed at which rainwater enters rivers during rainfall events is obviously reduced, which helps lower peak flow.
However, the nature of the soil and location of the woodlands are also critical to their success, with steep hillside on the edge of upland areas providing the most effective location for tree plantations to serve as an effective flood prevention tool.
Dr Paul Lunt, Associate Professor in Environmental Science added, "There are a lot of weak upland catchment（集水）areas across the UK. However, by working with farmers and the government's farm woodland measures, this study has shown that damaged soil can recover rapidly. This is particularly obvious on hillsides which are traditionally not so good for farming. So there is an opportunity for a joined-up approach which could benefit the uplands themselves, but also those people living on and around them."
28. What advantage does planting native woodlands in upland areas have?
A. Preventing rainwater into the sky. B. Taking in plenty of rainwater.
C. Stopping the extreme weather. D. Helping rainwater run over the surface.
29. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. Trees can help reduce soil macro-pores.
. New woodlands are related to extreme weather.
C. Planting new woodlands may prevent serious flooding.
D. Scientists affect the ability of soil to absorb water.
30. What does Dr Paul Lunt mainly talk about?
A. The way of reducing flooding risks.
B. The measures of helping native farmers.
C. The cooperation between farmers and the government.
D. The benefits of planting native woodlands.
31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. New Woodlands Can Help Reduce Flooding Risks
B. Rainwater Will Ruin Mountainous Areas
C. Scientists Has Found Ways to Control Extreme Weather
D. Farmers Have Planted Many Trees to Collect Rainwater
D
Marcus Eriksen was studying Plastic pollution when he met camel expert Ulrich Wernery. They went deep into the desert and spotted a camel skeleton（骨架）. Eriksen was not prepared for what he saw in the desert. "I was just appalled," he said, "because inside the dead body of a camel was a mass of plastic bags, which was as big as a medium-sized suitcase."
Wernery is a scientist working in a research lab in Dubai. Since 2008 Wernery's team has examined 30,000 dead camels. They found 300 of those dead camels had a mass of plastic bags in their bodies. As camels wander in the desert, they eat plastic bags and other rubbish that move into trees and pile up along roadsides. "To a camel, if it's not sand, it's food," explains Eriksen.
Tightly packed masses of indigestible（难消化的）things can be built up in the digestive system of people or animals. Scientists call them bezoars（胃石）. Normally, these are made of vegetable fibers or hair. Werner and Eriksen call those found in the camels "polybezoars". It points to their origin: plastic polymers.
In a new study, Eriksen and Wernery report data suggesting that each year these polybezoars are killing off around 1 in every 100 camels. Of five camel bezoars analyzed for this study, the plastic content ranged from 3 to 64 kilograms. "If it is confirmed that 1 percent of camels died due to plastic by future and more detailed studies, then plastic pollution will certainly be important concern for camels," says Luca Nizzetto, an environmental scientist. "Such studies are important, because they raise social awareness about this pollution."
Banning plastic bags and single-use plastics is crucial for protecting camels and other wildlife, Eriksen says. "Plastic bags blow out of garbage cans, out of landfills, out of trucks and out of people's hands." What's more, he adds, "They travel for hundreds of miles."
32. What does the underlined word "appalled" in paragraph I mean?
A. Addicted. B. Delighted. C. Satisfied. D. Shocked.
33. What do Eriksen's words in paragraph 2 suggest?
A. People have cleaned rubbish in the desert.
B. Camels often mistake plastics as food.
C. Camels are always walking along the road.
D. There are 30,000 camels living in the world.
34. What can we learn about the polybezoar from paragraph 3?
A. It is related with plastic. B. It helps camels digest food.
C. It consists of vegetable fibers. D. It can also be found in humans' body.
35. What's Luca Nizzetto's attitude towards studies on the camel's death in paragraph 4?
A. Doubtful. B. Disappointed. C. Supportive. D. Careless.

Time and money are life's most valuable resources. One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money. The phrase "time is money" is usually credited to Benjamin Franklin, who used it in an essay（Advice to a Young Tradesman, 1748）. 36 He encouraged people to treat time like money. However, most people think about time and money in different ways.
37 Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. Thus, No one can get more time than others. In world of scarcity（稀缺）, we should make the best use of time.
Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited resources is that we cannot save time. 38 You can't bottle time and exchange it for an object or event. However, when people are made aware of their limited life, they wonder if they did make the most of their life. 39
In a word, time is anything but free. As a nonrenewable resource, time is quite expensive. 40 Do we want to spend these precious moments on social media or spend that time learning something new? Skills and knowledge take time. The more time you spend on them, the more you improve.
A. However, it cannot be bought at any price.
B. It means time is a valuable resource.
C. Time is our most limited resource.
D. Time moves no whether we choose to spend it or not.
E. They will try their best to do what they want.
F. How we are using our time is really a question.
G. Actually, time and money are greatly different from each other.

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。
Lt Zachary Mayo, a soldier in the USA Navy, woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. He felt too hot. He got off his bed quietly so as not to wake his shipmates. He put on his blue coat over his shorts and T-shirt- he had been sleeping in, and left for the deck（甲板）.
Zachary Mayo went up onto the deck. It was two o'clock on a Friday morning. He breathed in the fresh air and looked up at the stars in the clear night sky. And then, without thinking, he leaned out too far and lost his footing. Before he knew it, he was in the water. He tried to draw attention by shouting, but he didn't succeed. He watched the huge ship disappearing into the night. Not one of the 4,700 crew on board had seen him fall, and for nearly two days, none of his shipmates realized that he was gone.
Mayo had been taught how to make clothes into life jackets in a training camp, so he took off his coat and tied its arms and legs. Then he waved his "life jacket" over his head and filled it with air so he could stay afloat（漂浮的）. He did this many times during his floating on the sea.
During his floating on the sea for the following 34 hours, he didn't see many search planes or any boats, and twice he had seen sharks swimming around him. He was in the water for both nights. He was attacked by small fish and he was slowly dying of thirst. Mayo was sure he would die, but he thought of his family-his parents, wife and two-year-old son. "I can never give up with so much love," he said to. He wished miracle（奇迹）would happen.
Finally, he felt asleep. When he woke up, his coat were floating away from him. Feeling the death was approaching closer and closer, he tore off his T-shirt and shorts in a fit of madness and prepared to die.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just before he lost consciousness（意识）, he saw small boat.
Three days later, Lt Zachary Mayo recovered.

Dear Peter,
How is everything going Knowing from your last letter that you are quite interested in my reading, especially my favourite Chinese masterpiece/novel, I am more than pleased to share something with you.
The Ordinary World, a masterpiece of Lu Yao, is something I am crazy about. It is set in the 1970s and 1980s, and tells the stories of all walks of many ordinary people as well as the extraordinary changes of China in that period. Having read this novel several times, I am profoundly touched by their unfortunate fates and their optimisim and determination to change. They have been striving for their bright future, no matter what great difficulties they are faced with. Truly, it is a book well worth reading.
Dear friend, I'd like to ask you to recommend some English excellent novels to me in your next letter and we can share our reading experiences together.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

"I thought it was a ghost, but it wasn't a ghost. It was Lt Zachary Mayo. He was alive! It's a miracle." he told reporters.
Three days later, Lt Zachary Mayo recovered. In hospital, he talked on the phone with his family who had been told that Mayo was missing, eagerly hoping for a miracle though they were almost sure that he was dead. Mayo thought that the chance of success is for the people who are ready and it was the training he received and the love from his family that had helped himself to live through the terrible accident.
