How Harry Potter Changed My Lif eBLiving aloneI saved the grain (谷物) carefully and finally had en ough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild g oats away.Then when my crop (庄稼) bore its fruit, the birds discov ered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them but as soon as I walked away, they returned. At last, I killed so me birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would serve as the scarecrows(稻草人), which turned out to be successful. By harve st time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bush els of wheat.With my new grain to store, I found a new problem. T he fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two month s to form and dry two ugly pots — one for rice and one for wheat. Next I formed a clay oven and made some other tools from hard wo od and cloth to bake bread. I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.Soon aft er that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore the island by sea. I tr ied to turn over the ship''s boat that I had seen washed up, but f ailed. I was still determined(坚决的)to have a boat. So I chose a st rong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat. When it was time to launch, I real ized I had made my boat too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would ta ke me twenty years of constant(恒久的;继续不断的)labor. I celebrated my f ourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey. — Taken from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe 24.P aragraph 2 mainly tells us?__________?.A. how much rice and wheat I harvestedB. how I protected my crop from the birds C. how many tools which I made to bake breadD. how I kept the wild goats awa y from my crop25.What does “a new problem” in Paragraph 3 refer t o?A. How to plant crop. B. How to make the ship’s b oat.C. How to store grain. D. How to bring the boat into the river.26.What can we infer from the passage?A. The writ er managed to turn over the ships boat.B. The writer spent months bringing the boat to the nearest stream.C. The writer spent the third year on the island in farming and baking. D. The writer tri ed to solve the problems with his courage and wisdom.CEvery count ry has its heroes. The heroes are the people the nation and espec ially the young people admire. If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the potential (潜力) of that nation. To day in America, if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choice would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars ?the people connect ed with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have ta lent but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model. The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should seek (寻觅) more in a he ro than such things as money and good clothes.A second type of he ro for the American youth is the sports star. Again you have a pe rson who has a great ability in one area---sports. However, too o ften the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a disorder. Too frequently (频繁) drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.A third type of hero is the TV or movie star. This p erson may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome. Howev er, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they sh ould not be held up as a model of young people. Today, the rock s tar, the athlete, and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that hi s hero is a doctor, a teacher, or a scientist? These people are n ot rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are ta lented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone. What is really sad is that the young try to imitate the ir heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow their st yles. If the heroes of today for the American young people are li mited only to rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does no t look too bright. 27.From the passage, we know that the heroes t he American youth admire are those _________.A. who are perfect i n all areas.B. who are not bright but are good -looking.C. who ar e rich but are strict with themselves.D. who are talented in some area but lead an improper life.28.According to the writer, peopl e should admire those _________.A. who are rich and wear the late st fashion clothesB. who work for the interests of the peopleC. w ho can express people’s feelings D. whose personal life is good29 .What is the writer’s attitude towards American youth''s admiratio n?A.He understands it.B.He criticizes it.C.He is angry about it.D .He is uninterested in it.DQuestions you should not ask a foreign erIn western countries, it’s rude to ask a person’s salary. CFPAf ter speaking to a number of foreigners, you might be forgiven for thinking that no question could be ruder than “How old are you?” Yes, asking a person’s age will likely get you into trouble, esp ecially if you ask a woman. However, money is just as difficult t o ask about as age. In western countries, a person’s salary (薪水) is as private as their age. US manners expert Thomas P. Farley ex plained why it is a taboo (禁忌). “So much of who we are is based o n what we do professionally (专业地), and by extension (引申开来), what we earn,” he told Forbes magazine. “In American society, much of the respect we get from others is tied to what we earn. So the su bject can be touchy.” But maybe you are feeling brave and still w ant to try to find out how much your foreign friend earns. How ca n you ask the question tactfully? Do not ask, “How much money do you make?” The most likely reply will be, “That’s none of your bu siness.” You may then feel bad. Without knowing, you will have ma de a big cultural mistake. Get over it and try again another time . Ask the person, “What do you do for a living?” or “What’s your job title?” Most people will be happy to give you an answer. Afte r they tell you their job title, you can make a rough (粗略的) guess at their salary based on the average salary for someone who does that job. Once you learn their job title, you could say: “That’s interesting. I’m thinking about a career in that line of work. C an you give me a rough idea of what the pay is like?” You have a better chance of getting information with a question like this th an with a straight question. Of course, there are people who choo se to avoid answering the question and reply by saying, “Oh, I ge t by.” Some might jokingly reply, “Not nearly enough.” At this po int, it’s best to change the subject. After all, money isn’t ever ything. 30. What does the article mainly talk about?A. How to dea l with sensitive questions. B. How to ask foreigners about their salary. C. The skills of asking some unpleasant questions.D. Priv ate questions that foreigners don’t like to discuss.31. By using Thomas P. Farley’s words, the writer means to show that ______.A. in the US, salary is linked to abilityB. money plays an importan t role in social statusC. how much you earn often shows what kind of life you live D. a person’s profession often affects opinions about their salaries32. The underlined word “tactfully” in Parag raph 4 is closest in meaning to “______”.A. directly B. hones tly C. skillfully D. clearly33. We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.A. some people are glad to be asked a bout their earningsB. you might not get a specific answer even wi th a tactful question C. you should avoid asking about a person’s salary in the first placeD. the writer suggests replying to a se nsitive question in a humorous way 四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分,每小题2分) Return to the moonIt might not be long until humans uncover the s ecrets of the far side of the moon. China’s Chang’e 4 robotic pro be (探测器), which is set to become the first probe to land on the m oon’s far side, was launched successfully on Dec 8, Xinhua report ed.The moon rotates (自转) at the same speed that it orbits (绕…运行) Earth. Therefore, the same side of the moon always faces Earth. T he far side of the moon is the side that we cannot see. We don’t know much about it so far.However, the far side of the moon is an ideal (理想的) place for scientific research. It is exposed (暴露) to solar winds that may have formed unique minerals (矿物质) and other resources. And since the far side is less affected by Earth’s gr avity, scientists can make clearer observations of deep space fro m there, according to China Daily.But it is hard to land on the f ar side of the moon. Spacecraft that land there cannot receive an y radio signals from Earth. To solve this problem, China launched a relay satellite (中继卫星) called Queqiao into space in May. Throu gh Queqiao, scientists can control and operate Chang’e 4 and make sure it will land in a specific area. The probe’s travel time is also important. Chang’e 4 is expected to land on the moon on Jan 2, China Daily reported. It will travel through space for more t han 20 days before landing. This is longer than Chang’e 3, which was in space for about 12 days before landing. The travel time wa s changed because scientists want Chang’e 4 to land on the moon w hen it is daytime. This way, the spacecraft’s solar panels (太阳能板) can receive energy from the sun and allow the probe to start wor king. A single day on the moon is about 28 days on Earth. Therefo re, Chang’e 4 will keep orbiting the moon before landing as it wa its for daytime, according to Sun Zezhou, chief designer of Chang ’e 4. Did you know? Chang’e 4 is taking some plant seeds and eggs to the moon. It is hoped that Chang’e 4 will be able to do exper iments with them. These will be the first biological experiments to take place on the moon. 34. Will Chang’e 4 be the first probe to land on the far side of the moon? 35. What does the far side of the moon refer to?36. What research may scientists do on the f ar side of the moon?37. How did Chinese scientists solve the prob lem of no signals?38. Why do scientists want Chang’e 4 to land in daytime?书面表达(共10分)五、文段表达(10分)39.从下面两个题目中任选一题,根据中文和英文提示,完成一篇不少于50 词的文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。题目①假如你是李华,你们学校将要举办一场 关于文学作品的讲座,你打算邀请你们班交换生Peter参加。请用英语写一封电子邮件,告诉他讲座的时间和地点,以及需要做什么准备。提示 词语:lecture (讲座), invite, information, question, online提示问题:● When and where will you have the lecture?● What do you advise Peter t o prepare for it?Dear Peter,How is it going?
