A
Lizzie’s diary from Antarctica (南极洲)
Day 3:Tuesday　December 2
We planned to go to Rothera that morning.We’d be staying there for the next two weeks.Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth,sometimes you can’t fly at all.
We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we’d be leaving that day.People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.
It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7.But even when we were in the air,there was still a chance we wouldn’t be able to fly the whole day.
Day 4:Wednesday　December 3
After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place.It is really beautiful.
We’re staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around.It is about minus 20℃ today which for me is very cold,but the regulars here are often seen walking around in T-shirts!
Day 5:Thursday　December 4
I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic.I’m told it’s a bit colder today,about minus 50℃,but it’s not very windy so it feels warmer.Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we’re allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.
Day 7:Saturday　December 6
Not a cloud in the sky and it’s warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket).The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery changes every day.At first I thought I was going mad.I’d step outside in the morning and think,“I’m sure that big mountain of ice wasn’t there yesterday.” It’s because the sea ice is always moving—slowly thankfully!
21.Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on 　　　.?
A.Tuesday B.Wednesday
C.Thursday D.Saturday
22.What could stop Lizzie from leaving Stanley for Rothera?
A.Strong winds. B.Thick clouds.
C.Mountains of ice. D.Low temperatures.
23.How did Lizzie feel during her stay in the Antarctic?
A.Afraid. B.Nervous.
C.Amazed. D.Bored.
B
In a movie,a woman reads a storybook to her friend’s daughter.As they approach the last page,she reads,“...and Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever after.” She closes the book and looks at the young girl,adding,“You know,things don’t always happen like this in real life.I just think you should know that now.”
We were all raised on fairy tales with glass slippers,brave princes and magic!It didn’t take too long to realize that stories like that aren’t necessarily true.In real life,you learn that glass slippers are really uncomfortable,no prince is perfect and magic doesn’t always work.
So what do you do when the way you planned things is not the way they turned out?
Know that parts of your fairy tale have already been written,and sadly,there’s not much you can do about those first few chapters.You didn’t get the best start.Your trust was unexpectedly betrayed (背叛).You didn’t get the job.Whatever falls and failures happened in your past,there’s still more to the story.
Your life has a lot of contributors (投稿者),and you are the editor-in-chief.You take what’s there and create the masterpiece (杰作).All the good pages and the bad can come together to make a beautiful adventure.
When you find yourself wishing your life was more like the fairy tales,remember that in some ways it already is.There will be dragons,bad witches,great romances,winding roads and friends to help you along the way.Live your life carefully and positively as if you are writing a long story.Whether it’s a comedy,tragedy or a little of both,the pen is in your hand.How it ends is all up to you.
24.According to the first paragraph,we know the woman is 　　　.?
A.wise B.cruel
C.brave D.patient
25.WhydoestheauthorraisethequestioninParagraph3?
A.To compare different ideas.
B.To express the doubts of life.
C.To introduce points for discussion.
D.To describe the conditions in real life.
26.Which of the following may NOT often appear in fairy tales?
A.Glass slippers.
B.Winding roads.
C.Sad endings.
D.Bad witches.
27.What is the message expressed in the passage?
A.Be positive about life.
B.Write your own stories.
C.Parents should tell fairy tales to their kids.
D.There are many problems in school education.
C
On the day the tornado hit,there was no indication severe weather was on its way—the sky was blue and the sun had been out.The first alert my husband,Jimmy,67,and I,65,got came around 9 p.m.,from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching.He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom,and we changed the channel from the presidential primary debate I had been watching to our local Pensacola,Florida,station.
No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us.It was the loudest thing I have ever heard.The bones of the house shook,and the power went out.Pink insulation flew into the room from a trapdoor to the attic,and the wind began to roar through the house.
I didn’t know how or if we would make it down the steps.It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet.I gripped the banister (栏杆) and tried to move forward,but this intense pressure held me in place.
By the time I reached the closet,the tornado had been over us for about a minute.Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor,but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind.I gripped Jimmy’s arm.My knees and scalp were full of glass,but in that moment,I felt no pain.?
All of a sudden,Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies.I thought he was gone.And then everything stopped.He landed on his feet.In those first quiet moments,I couldn’t believe it was over.Jimmy said he’d go outside to check.“No,” I said.“Don’t leave me.”
Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes.In that time,four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed.Of the houses left standing,ours suffered the most damage.Amazingly,none of us were severely injured.
28.How is the text organized?
A.In order of time.
B.In order of frequency.
C.In order of preference.
D.In order of importance.
29.What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.We didn’t get the alert until we began to watch TV.
B.The weather was severe on the day the tornado hit.
C.We changed the channel to find out what was happening.
D.The author was sleeping when the tornado came.
30.From the text,we can find the author was the following except　　　.?
A.fearful B.courageous
C.senseless D.determined
31.What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.The author had no sense of pain for some reason.
B.The author was absorbed in saving her husband and worried about her husband.
C.The author was fearful that her knees and scalp were full of glass.
D.The author was very terrified in that moment.
D
Green roofs—roofs that are planted with vegetation(植被)—may improve the indoor air quality of commercial buildings by cutting the amount of ozone coming into the buildings from the outside,according to new research from Portland State University.
The findings add to the already known environmental benefits of green roofs,including reducing carbon dioxide,decreasing storm water runoff and cutting down on urban heat,according to PSU researchers.
The researchers from PSU’s departments of Mechanical and Materials Engineering,Biology and the university’s Honors College,set up measuring devices on the roof of a big-box retail(零售) store in North Portland that was split between a green roof and a more conventional white roof.
They measured the air coming into the building from outdoor intake vents(通风孔),and found that the air coming in from the green roof area had modestly lower ozone levels than the air coming in from the unplanted area.They found that the vegetation trapped and filtered the ozone in the outdoor air.
The trapping effect is a process known as dry deposition,in which airborne particles collect or deposit themselves on solid surfaces.It’s a natural process that is key to removing pollutants from the atmosphere.
The study was conducted over a two-day period.The authors said the findings bring about a longer-term study—one that could include measuring other pollutants as well as ozone.
32.Which of the following is NOT the benefits of green roofs?
A.Increasing storm water runoff.
B.Cutting the amount of ozone.
C.Cutting down on urban heat.
D.Reducing carbon dioxide.
33.Whatdoweknowaboutthemeasuringdevicesusedbyresearchers?
A.They were put in a store.
B.They helped filter the ozone.
C.The air was measured by them.
D.They made the green roof cleaner.
34.What does the underlined word mean?
A.Change. B.Increase.
C.Remove. D.Absorb.
35.What is the best title of this passage?
A.Green roofs—a good way to improve indoor air quality
B.The trapping effect—a key to removing pollutant
C.Lower ozone levels—a solution to air pollution
D.Ozone—a harmful air for people’s health

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before.He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico.We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon.Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle.My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby.Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.“The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said.After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草).I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses.They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me.I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway.So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains.“Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!”“OK! ” my dad cried back.After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight.It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene.It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.

We had no idea where we were and it got dark..Luckily the stars came out and gave us a little light when we were looking for the way to the farm house.After what must have been several hours, we suddenly heard the sound of sheep in the distance.My dad and I both rode our horses towards the sound of the sheep.As we got closer we saw Uncle Paul with a flashlight waving us over.What a night!
