文章大意：这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者第一次学习骑自行车的经历。第一次骑上自行车，作者不知所措，在爷爷的帮助指导下，作者开始练习，尽管摔倒，受伤，但作者相信，在爷爷的帮助下，自己能做好，同时也表达了对爷爷的感谢。 12. I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet fun experience. My granddad was the one who taught me, and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what to do, and just about
everything went wrong. My granddad told me to just put my feet on the pedals (脚蹬子) and start pedaling. He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn’t.
As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let it go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was
scared, my mind went blank from pedaling, and I just wanted to get off. I forgot how to use the brakes and fell right off the bike. My granddad kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.
As soon as I started pedaling again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. Since that happened, my granddad decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning, I woke up bright and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn’t that afraid of falling anymore.
Though I knew there were a lot of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my granddad’s help. After all, riding a bike was what I wanted to do eagerly.
1. What do we know about the author’s first riding a bike? A．He thought balancing himself was easy. B．He knew where he could stop the bike.
C．He was nervous and didn’t know what to do next. D．He put his feet on the pedals and pedaled skillfully. 2. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Going on to ride a bike.
B．Stopping practicing bicycling.
C．Making the author feel happy. D．Remembering what happened this day. 3. What is the author’s attitude towards his granddad? A．Grateful. B．Envious. C．Indifferent. D．Negative. 4. What could be the best title for the text? A．The Time when I Got My First Bike B．The Difficulties My Granddad and I Faced C．The Experience of My First Riding a Bike D．The Time When I Stayed with My Granddad
文章大意：这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家们计划通过模拟火山来给地球降温，介绍了太阳能地球工程的工作原理以及存在的问题。
13. Ever stopped to consider the upside of volcanic eruptions? It’s not all death, destruction and hot lava — scientists have a plan to cool the planet by simulating one. It would probably work, but it could have disastrous consequences, and there is nothing to stop any country or company from using the technology.
Solar geoengineering involves simulating a spewing volcano by spraying aerosols into the atmosphere. When they combine with oxygen, droplets of sulfuric acid form. These droplets reflect sunlight away from Earth, cooling the planet. All good in
theory, but the consequences are largely unknown and a few could be disastrous. In a study recently published in Nature Communications, researchers led by Anthony Jones, a climate scientist from the University of Exeter, found that using this technology in the Northern Hemisphere could reduce the number of tropical cyclones hitting the U.S. and Caribbean but there would be more cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere and a drought across the Sahel region of Africa. That’s
because the entire climate system is linked — disrupting one region will inevitably
affect another. How would a nation react if another was causing its weather to get much worse? Would that be an act of war?
There is, however, a case for using solar geoengineering on a global scale. Jones says it could be used to reduce the temperature increases scientists are predicting. It could be used while the world searches for more effective strategies.
The study also highlights a far bigger problem with solar geoengineering: its
complete lack of regulation. “There’s nothing that could stop one country just doing it,” Jones says. “You only need about 100 aircraft with three flights per day. It would cost $1 billion to $10 billion per year.” He adds, “It’s deeply disconcerting that we have this technology that could have such a massive influence on the climate, yet there’s just no regulation to stop countries or even organizations from doing it.” Jones cautions that there is much about the climate system we do not understand, as well as far more work that will need to be done before solar geoengineering is considered safe — or too dangerous to even discuss. 1. The first paragraph is intended to _________.
A．compare downsides and upsides of volcanic eruptions B．propose a hypothesis and prove it in the rest of the passage C．give a blueprint of the passage and arouse readers’ interest
D．raise a question and tempt readers to find the solution in the passage 2. According to the research by Anthony Jones and his team, using solar geoengineering ________.
A．will benefit the countries applying them with almost no cost
B．can reduce the temperature of the planet simply by spraying aerosol into the air C．will destroy the balance of the whole climate system and raise conflicts D．can calm various natural disasters such as tropical cyclones and droughts 3. The underlined word “disconcerting” is closest in meaning to _________. A．confusing B．disturbing C．acceptable D．disappointing 4. The writer is likely to agree that _________.
A．solar geoengineering is good both in theory and in reality B．solar geoengineering is the last choice scientists should turn to
C．relevant laws should be drafted up to avoid the abuse of solar geoengineering D．whether solar geoengineering benefits humans or not depends on where and how people use it
14. The Nobel Prizes, whose winners are announced in September, may be the world’s most desired awards. As soon as new winners are named, critics start comparing the winners’ achievements with those of past ones.
The Nobel Foundation’s rules prevent disclosure of the selection process for 50 years. A full explanation of why, for example, Stephen Hawking wasn’t awarded the Prize will have to wait until 2068. But once this rule ends, the foundation shows who offered nominations and whom they supported. Its data start in 1901 and end in 1953 for medicine; 1966 for physics, chemistry and literature; and 1967 for peace. The requirement for entry to a Nobel nomination is low. For the peace prize, public officials and experts offer names to a committee that picks the winner. For the
others, Swedish academies seek names from thousands of people, mostly professors, and hold a vote for the winner. On average, 55 nominations per year were applied for each prize in 1901-1966.
Candidates with lots of nominations don’t mean victory. Historically, candidates put forward by past winners went on to win at some point in the future 40% more often than those whose nominators never won a Nobel did. And people whose nominators became winners later on also won unusually often. According to the Nobel
Foundation’s online report, all 11 of Einstein’s nominees won a prize. Some were already famous, like Max Planck; others, like Walther Bothe, were less-known. These two cases show that his support seems to have been decisive. So getting lots of
nominations doesn’t mean having won a Nobel Prize--unless the nominations come from other winners.
1. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the word “disclosure” in paragraph 2?
A．Track. B．Record. C．Announcement. D．Development. 2. Which of the following is TRUE about the Nobel Prize? A．The nominators are not always famous. B．It is the most valuable award in the world. C．Candidates will never know why they failed.
D．There are 55 Nobel Prize winners during 1901 to 1966. 3. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A．It is who nominates that matters. B．Einstein was once a Nobel Prize winner. C．The more nominations, the more chances to win. D．Candidates nominated by past winners can always win. 4. What is the purpose of this text?
A．To remember some Nobel winners.
B．To predict who will be the next Nobel winners. C．To analyze why some nominees failed the Nobel Prizes. D．To inform readers of more information about the Nobel Prizes.

六、七选五(阅读理解)
文章大意：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍一些可持续的生活的做法。
16. Every day we make choices that affect the environment and people living on the earth. From the clothes on our back and the food we eat to how we travel to work, every decision we make has an effect on the planet. 1 . However, there’s still much more to be done to live sustainably(可持续地).
Sustainability doesn’t have to require huge, life-changing decisions. 2 . The primary purpose of living sustainably is to cause the least harm to the environment and people living on the earth.
Living sustainably simply requires a little more thought about our diets, what kind of toiletries and cosmetics(化妆品) we use, and how much waste we create in general. 3 , it becomes a little easier to make some positive changes. One of the first things people tend to focus on when they first decide to live more sustainably is single-use plastic. Plastic bottles, bags, coffee cups and fresh produce wrappers are all non-recyclable. 4 , buying plastic shopping bags for your groceries indirectly causes a lot of damage to the environment. The same goes for beverages, water bottles, soda bottles and even coffee cups, which are primarily made of plastic that we can’t recycle.
Living sustainably brings many benefits. The most obvious one is that you’re less responsible for causing daily damage to the environment. Sustainable living also provides a handy opportunity to live healthier. In short, sustainable living is healthier and cheaper. 5 B．They were staged by the same theatre. D．They were adapted from true historical events.
A．Once we're aware of these things B．Sustainable living is certainly possible C．Although it may seem like a harmless act
D．And it's the most responsible choice for the planet
E．Since we know that having a positive effect on the planet is important F．The present generations are the most environmentally conscious in history G．It means reducing our demand for natural resources by making a few small daily changes

Jackson’s family hired a driver. The driver’s family came to stay with them in a small house in their backyard. That’s how Jackson met the driver’s eight-year-old son Tom. From the day he met Jackson, Tom became his fan. For Tom, 11-year-old Jackson seemed to be a big boy. He would always follow Jackson around.
Tom didn’t go to school. He was admitted to a local government school, but he refused to go. He told Jackson shyly that the teachers only made them copy words
from the blackboard. Since he hadn’t learned how to read, he could not understand anything that was written on the blackboard. Jackson felt sorry for him. On Sunday, Jackson saw Tom sitting under a tree holding an alphabet (字母表) book in his hands. Jackson walked quietly towards him and discovered that Tom was holding the book upside down.
Jackson took the book out of Tom’s hands and turned the right side up. “This is how you should read,” he told Tom. Two big tears rolled down Tom’s cheeks. Tom told Jackson, “I want to be like you, but I can’t do anything.” That evening, Jackson told his parents they had to help Tom get into a better school. It was not easy to make Tom admitted to a new school, because the time for admission was over.
Luckily, one principal (校长) looked at Tom kindly and admitted him to her school. The next day Tom went to his new school wearing a new shirt. But when Tom
returned from school, he was a bit sad. The other children in his class had laughed at him. He told Jackson, “They all said I am much older than them but in a smaller class. I don’t want to go to school.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph l:

Two months later, Tom returned from school with a bright smile.
