On April 10, 1912, the ocean liner Titanic set off on its first voyage with more than 2,200 people on board. It was a historic moment. The ship was the largest passenger ship in the world.
But on the night of April 14, the Titanic struck a giant iceberg. Within hours, it sank to the bottom of the ocean. There were only enough lifeboats for about half the people on board. More than 1,500 passengers and crew members died.
The tragedy made headlines around the world. The tale of the ship has inspired many books, plays, and movies. That includes 1997's Titanic--- one of the most popular films in history.
Now, more than a century later, a replica (复制品) of the ship is being built. The Titanic II is expected to follow the route of the original ship. It is scheduled to launch in 2022 and sail from Southampton, England, to New York City.
In many ways, the Titanic II will be hard to tell apart from the original ship. It will have the same cabin layouts(布局) and serve the same fancy meals. But according to the Blue Star Line, the company building the ship, there will be some important differences. The Titanic II will have the latest technology and safety features---including enough motor- driven lifeboats for everyone on board. Though the ship itself will be more modern, sailing on it will be a journey back in time, says Clive Palmer, the Owner of Blue Star Line.
"It is a tribute (致敬) to the spirit of the men and women who worked on the original Titanic," he says.
4. What do we know about the Titanic?
A. More than 2,200 people died when it sank
B. It was the largest passenger ship of its day.
C. It set sail from New York City.
D. It sank the first day after it set sail.
5. Why does the author mention the 1997 movie Titanic?
A. To highlight the public's interest in the ship.
B. To describe the ship's design.
C. To explain why the Titanic sank.
D. To compare the new ship with the original one.
6. How will the Titanic II differ from the original ship?
A. It will follow a new route across the Atlantic Ocean.
B. It will have enough lifeboats for all passengers.
C. It will serve fancy meals to passengers.
D. It will have smaller cabins for passengers.
7. What is the best title for the text?

B. Titanic Stories Go on
C. The Titanic Sails Again
D. The Reconstruction of Titanic

The Boston Marathon is the oldest annual race in the world. This long-distance running event began in 1897. Like all marathons the distance is 262 miles (about 42 kilometer). To enter, you must first have the right to take part in, and about 20,000 athletes meet the requirements each year. Within that number are some who are known as “mobility impaired”. They might be in wheelchairs or have a man-made leg or arm. They start the marathon two hours before the other runners.
I will never forget the first time that I ran the Boston Marathon. A truly amazing thing happened when I was halfway through the race. Ahead of me, there was a man who had only one leg. He was using a pair of crutches (拐杖) to help him run. Every runner who ran past him called out some words of praise and encouragement. I finished my race that day in just under 3 hours and 30 minutes. After finding my family, we went back to our hotel room.
After resting a bit, at around 6 pm, we decided to watch the last of the runners pass the finishing line. By this time, there were only a few runners left in the race. As we stood there, I began to hear people cheering. Then I saw the man on crutches getting closer and closer to the finish. It was 8 hours and 15 minutes after the mobility-impaired runners had started. As he approached the end, he suddenly raised his crutches up in the air and completed the last stretch (临近终点的一段跑道) on one leg. To watch him pass the finishing line was the most amazing and inspiring experience of my life, one that my children and I still talk about.
I have a personal motto (座右铭). "There is no great goal achieved without greater sacrifice." To me, it means that the journey toward your goals is often more difficult than actually reaching the goal itself. And people who make that journey, like the runner that day, encourage those around them.
8. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. The organization of Boston Marathon.
B. The influence of Boston Marathon.
C. The special of Boston Marathon.
D. A brief introduction of Boston Marathon.
9. What does the underlined phrase "mobility impaired" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The physically disabled.
B. The mentally disturbed.
C. The badly injured.
D. The freely controlled.
10. What happened during the race?
A. The author had a rest during the race.
B. The author inspired a runner with one leg.
C. A disabled runner finished the last stretch on one leg.
D. Runners running past the author encouraged him a lot.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Special Marathon Race
B. The Strong-willed Marathon Runner
C. The Oldest Annual Race in the World
D. The First Time I Ran the Marathon
D
New York factories in the early 1900s were busy and dangerous places to work. Most factories were housed in brick buildings that were overly hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter. Workers at the time often worked more than 12 hours each day, receiving few breaks and no overtime pay. The floors were crowded with people and equipment, and the doors were often locked to prevent employees from leaving early. In fact, most factory owners and managers mistreated those who asked for changes or directly fired them. The people in charge believed that they did not owe anything more than a paycheck to their workers.
Everything changed when a fire broke out at the Triangle shirtwaist factory in 1911. During that tragic event, about a quarter of the workers (mostly young immigrant women) lost their lives. The factory workers, located on the ninth floor of the building, could not get the door open. The fire escape led only to flames below. The fire truck ladders were not long enough, nor were the water hoses (水管). Fire nets were inadequate.
After the fire, people marched and protested in order to change conditions in factories. Many large protests took place in New York. Eventually, politicians took up the cause, and legislators (立法者) passed workplace laws regulating child labor and the number of workers allowed on a floor. They also called for sprinkler systems (自动喷水系统) to be placed in all factories. The rights of workers were important and valuable.
Today, working in a factory is still a demanding, difficult, and often dangerous job. The victims of the Triangle shirtwaist factory did not die in vain, however. Because of their experience, the workplace was forever changed for the better.
12. Which best explains the cause of the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire?
A. The quality of the factory building.
B. The lack of worker safety at the factory.
C. The involvement of politicians.
D. The inexperience of the workers.
13. Because of the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire, _______.
A. employers were given more control
B. sprinkler systems were invented
C. many laws were passed to protect workers
D. factories in New York closed
14. Why did people most likely protest after the fire?
A. The women who died were wealthy.
B. Factories were the best places to work.
C. Shirtwaists were hard to find after the fire.
D. The tragedy could have been avoided.
15. It can be learnt from the text that the fire_______.
A. brought the reform in the working conditions
B. caused little damage to the factory
C. became a turning point for politicians
D. took place on the ninth floor of the building

Once eating alone in a restaurant was a bit embarrassing. For it might suggest you didn’t have any family or 21 . There was a kind of shame attached to it. Nowadays, however, more and more people eat alone --- for __22 .

Dear Susan,
Thanks a lot for inviting me to attend the Sharing Session on Chinese Classics to be held next Sunday at your apartment. I’m terribly sorry for not being able to attend it. I’m writing to express my sincere apologies to you.
Actually, I have been expecting to have an opportunity to communicate with you and other friends about my experience in reading Chinese classics. However, yesterday my former teacher invited me to give a talk to his students on how to learn English well, which is scheduled for next Sunday. If it’s convenient for you, shall we meet at 8:00 am next Saturday before the Sharing Session in order to share my ideas with you in advance? If not, please keep me informed of what time suits you best.
Sorry again for the inconvenience caused. I do hope you will have a great time.
Yours,
Li Hua
