The sites provide information about life in the future.BDear Editor,"I hate these bicycles in front of my car," said a Beijing car driver when he was interviewed a few days ago by a reporter. And today, in a famous American magazine, I read that cars are nowwinning a victory(胜利)over bicycles in the capital of China.Who would have thought that Beijing, a city well-known around the world for its millions of cyclists, might lose its advantage in the struggle against city pollution? Unfortunately, it is true, and this situation might be worse.Each day I am proud to go to work by bike. At the age of 50, I think this means of transportation is the most suitable in a city with a large population like Beijing, and that it also helps me to keep fit.For almost 6 months, each time there is a traffic jam on Baishiqiao Road, cars are entering the bicycle road between the National Library and the Purple Bamboo Park. In turn, cyclists have to ride on the sidewalk to avoid these four-wheel "comers".I understand the people's desire(渴望)to own cars and the government's desire to develop the national car industry.However, when almost all big cities around the world are struggling to get rid of pollution caused by cars, encouraging their citizens to use other means of transportation and taking measures to reduce traffic jams in downtown areas, Beijing's government should understand that encouraging its citizens. to ride a bicycle is one of the means necessary to have a clean and enjoyable city in the future.Louise Cadicux29. It is reported in a well-known American magazine that _____ in Beijing.A. cars can be .seen everywhereB. bicycles are defeating carsC. cars are being defeated(击败)by busesD. bicycles are being defeated by cars30. When cars take up the bicycle road, cyclists have to .A. stop on the sidewalkB. ride on the inside roadC. ride on the sidewalkD. wait by the roadside31. The writer of this letter mainly wants to tell usA. a lot of pollution is caused by carsB. car drivers hate bicycles on the roadC. bikes are clean means of transportationD. people have a desire to have their own carsC“How did you know I had a visitor with me?” asked Watson in amazement. “I sometimes believe you have eyes in the back of your head!”“I don’t, but I do have a very well polished silver coffeepot in front of me!” Holmes laughed. “And whom do I have the pleasure of greeting?” he asked.“I am Dr. James Mortimer, Mr. Holmes. It concerns the death of my good friend and patient, Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Charles Baskerville had no children, so his entire estate(财产) now pass to his nephew, Sir Henry Baskerville, who has been living in America for many years.” Dr. Mortimer took a letter out of his pocket which was given to him by Sir Charles just before his death 3 months ago. “ If I may, I should like to read the letter to you.” He adjusted his glasses.“Baskerville Hall, 1742. To my sons, Rodger and John. The legend（传说，传奇）has been toldby my father who was told by his father before him. It began 100 years ago in 1642 when this great Baskerville Hall was occupied（占有）by Hugo Baskerville ---a wild, ugly, cruel man. Hugo wanted to marry the daughter of a neighbouring farmer. One day, with his five evil friends, he rode to the farm and kidnapped the girl. He brought her to Baskerville Hall and locked her in an upstairs room while he and his friends having a drinking party below. The poor girl was very frightened, but she managed to climb out of the window. Hugo, however, soon noticed that she had gone. He chased the girl on his black horse with his hunting dog showing the way. His friends joined the chase until a strange sight stopped them. There lay two bodies--Hugo’s and the girl’s. Standing over Hugo’s body was a huge black beast（野兽）tearing out his throat（喉咙）.“I really don’t like fairy tales ”said Holmes. “What exactly is it you want me to do?”“I need you to advise me what to do with Sir Henry Baskerville who’s arriving here today”.32.How does Mr. Holmes know there’s a visitor?A. Dr. Watson phoned an hour agoB. He has eyes in the back of his head.C. He saw it from the mirror.D. A well polished silver coffeepot which serves as a mirror.33.What was the letter about that Dr. Mortimer read to Watson and Holmes?A. A story describing the terrible things running in the Baskerville familyB. A research that Dr. Mortimer had done on the Baskerville familyC. A newspaper article reporting Sir Charles Baskerville’s deathD. A letter that Charles Baskerville had written to Dr. Mortimer34.Which of the following is TRUE?A. Hugo Baskerville kidnapped a poor girl and killed her.B. Dr. Mortimer was a member of the Baskerville family.C. Sir Henry Baskerville is nephew of Sir Charles Baskerville.D. Henry Baskerville was the owner of Baskerville Hall in 1642.35.Why did Dr. Mortimer visit Holmes?A. Because he wanted Holmes to investigate(调查) Sir Charles’ death.B.

During his stage life, he combined(融合)the traditions of the past and his own creations，creating a style of his own and giving birth to "The Mei Lanfang School". He was also the first artist to introduce Peking Opera to foreigners, winning international fame(名声)in the world. For half a century, Mei Lanfang was a household name in China.Mei Lanfang began his stage life at the age of 8. His teacher said he showed little hope becauseof his boring eyes. To improve this，he exercised them day after day. He would fly kites and look at them moving slowly in a blue sky. He also kept pigeons in order to look at them flying higher and higher until they disappeared into the clouds. Thanks to his efforts，he managed to change his dull eyes into a pair of bright and expressive eyes and win national fame before the age of 20.In over 50 years on the stage，Mei Lanfang played no less than 100 different characters in the traditional Peking Opera performance(表演).He completely changed both stage make-up and costumes，and made characters' performance richer. He also wrote many new plays，designing the dances himself. They are part of the great legacy(遗赠)that he left to Peking Opera.In 1930，Mei Lanfang started on a successful US tour. There his great performances fascinated the audience，making them realize that Peking Opera was a most valuable form of art.29. What does the first sentence of the passage mean in Paragraph 1?A. Peking Opera would not be well-known without Mei Lanfang.B. Mei Lanfang made Peking Opera a complete art form.C. Mei Lanfang won international fame in the world.D.

About 14 years.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The history of Peking Opera.B. Mei Lanfang's early stage life.C. Mei Lanfang's great contributions to Peking Opera.D. The creations of Peking Opera by Mei Lanfang.CEverybody knows that Earth spins from west to east. That is to say, it appears to be spinning counterclockwise(逆时针)when viewed from above the North Pole.But what if Earth started spinning the other way?Scientists from Germany have made a computer simulation(模拟)in which Earth spins in the opposite direction-clockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This showed them some interesting things about the weather and topography(地形地貌)on Earth, live Science reported. As Earth spins in a counterclockwise direction, it shapes ocean currents(洋流).The direction of the spin, together with wind, produces different weather around the globe(全球).But a backwards spin changes the ocean currents and winds. Therefore, the climate(气候)is different. Western areas of continents(大陆)on Earth cool down as the eastern parts warm up. Winters become even colder in northwestern Europe, while eastern Russia becomes warmer than before. Rain no longer falls on the planet's wettest places.Another result of a backward spin is that Earth becomes greener. Scientists found that global desert(沙漠)areas reduce from 42 million square kilometers to 3l. million square kilometers. This may have something to do with the changing climate.Therefore, you can see rich green landscapes from Central Africa to the Middle East, which aremostly covered by deserts now. More surprisingly, the Sahara Desert becomes an oasis(绿洲). _______ . They just appear in some places that they never appeared in before. Deserts would cover North America, where countries like the United States and Canada lie. Sand dunes(沙丘)would replace the Amazon rainforest in South America.A backward spin would keep the major characteristics of Earth's topography, such as the size, shapes and positions of continents and oceans. But it would also change the interactions between circulating(环流)air, ocean and topography, lead scientist Florian Ziemen told Live Science.32. Why would the climate be different if Earth spins backwards?A. Because there won't be any more large oceans.B. Because the ocean currents and winds will be changed.C.

Everybody knows that Earth spins from west to east． That is to say, it appears to be spinning counterclockwise（逆时针）when viewed from above the North Pole．But what if Earth started spinning the other way?Scientists from Germany have made a computer simulation（模拟）in which Earth spinsin the opposite direction﹣clockwise when viewed from above the North Pole． This showed them some interesting things about the weather and topography（地形地貌）on Earth, live Science reported．As Earth spins in a counterclockwise direction, it shapes ocean currents（洋流）．Thedirection of the spin, together with wind, produces different weather around the globe（全球）．But a backwards spin changes the ocean currents and winds． Therefore, the climate（气候）is different． Western areas of continents（大陆）on Earth cool down as the eastern parts warm up． Winters become even colder in northwestern Europe, while eastern Russia becomes warmer than before． Rain no longer falls on the planet's wettest places．Another result of a backward spin is that Earth becomes greener． Scientists found that global desert（沙漠）areas reduce from 42 million square kilometers to 31． million square kilometers． This may have something to do with the changing climate．Therefore, you can see rich green landscapes from Central Africa to the Middle East, which are mostly covered by deserts now． More surprisingly, the Sahara Desert becomes an oasis （绿洲）．______． They just appear in some places that they never appeared in before． Deserts would cover North America, where countries like the United States and Canada lie． Sand dunes（沙丘）would replace the Amazon rainforest in South America．A backward spin would keep the major characteristics of Earth's topography, such as the size, shapes and positions of continents and oceans．But it would also change the interactions between circulating（环流）air, ocean and topography, lead scientist Florian Ziemen told Live Science．（1）Why would the climate be different if Earth spins backwards？________A Because there won't be any more large oceans．B Because the ocean currents and winds will be changed．C Because it will change the amount of sunlight that Earth can receive．D Because Earth will become greener without deserts．．（2）What will a backwards spin bring to the Earth？________A Winters will become colder．B No rain will fall in summer．C Eastern Russia will become warmer．D The Sahara Desert will become smaller．．（3）The story tells us that________．A Earth used to spin in the opposite directionB a backwards spin would cause interesting changes on EarthC global desert areas have become smallerD a backwards spin would change Earth's topography completely．（4）Which of the following sentences can be put at the beginning of the eighth paragraph？________A Sadly， deserts would cover North America．B Luckily， deserts would disappear （消失）．C Anyway， deserts would replace the Amazon rainforest．D However，deserts don't disappear．四、词汇运用（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）A）根据句意，用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词．20.

You might think this is impossible, but in rare cases, it has actually rained frogs! How could this happen? During a tornado or a powerful thunderstorm, water from a pond or lake can be sucked into the air． This includes anything that is in the water．The storm continues to move． As it travels, it releases the water into the sir． Does this mean that frogs and fish come raining down from the sky? Yes, this is exactly what happens! Cases of strange things falling down from the sky have been reported for many years． People have seen small frogs, fish, grasshoppers and snails drop from the sky in places like France, India and the United States． Are animals the only things that get swept up by storms? No． In fact, in 1995, it rained soda cans in the United States!（1）Why is it possible to rain frogs from the sky？________A. Frogs are swept up by the storm．B. God casts down a rain of frogs．C.

He let them grow quickly．B. He beat them to get their attention．C. He helped them search for water．D. He read a newspaper near them．．（2）What does the word "Adversity" in Paragraph 5 mean？________A.

just studyng when you are at school．School is also the p（1）________ where you learn to get along well with people．But this is not always easy．What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates？If you d （2）________that you have problems getting along with your classmates orfriends，the most important thing to learn is tolerance（宽容）．Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others．We cannot change the w（3）________ that other people do，so it is important to learn to live h（4）________ with them．Tolerance will make everyone get on b（5）________ with each

media because of its VIP service， which allows high﹣paying customers to skip lines for rides and attractions． Do you support this service？阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的短文，每空一词．The hot topic "Should paying extra money lead to better treatment？" is being discussed． Some agree to it． Some are（1）________it． People who support it think we have no（2）________for blaming tourists who pay more， because they think there are first﹣class tickets on a plane or VIP windows in banks． Those people who（3）________ to it think that "paying more equals better treatment" may mislead children that all the（4）________can be solved with money． And someone's cutting in not only breaks rules， but also（5）________other visitors badly． What's your opinion？We've probably all met someone who likes to show off about where he or she has been． To some people， traveling is all about how many places one has been to． But luckily， the old "been there， seen that" mode is changing．Last year's travel trend （趋势） was "experiential travel"． This is where tourists look for ways to get to know local culture and meet local people so they feel less like an outsider．So what about this year？ Can creative tourists get even more out of their traveling experience？Transformative travelTransformative （起改变作用的） travel is much like "experiential travel"， but takes it a step further．It usually goes through three steps ﹣ you go to a place that has a very different background from where you live， you learn wisdom from the new culture and the people you meet，and finally you go back home and use the knowledge in your own lives． This last step is how the "transformation" is completed and what separates transformative travel from experiential travel．Go greenOne way to plan a green trip is to travel a shorter distance，which can reduce your carbon footprint （碳排放量）． "One trans﹣Atlantic flight equals a year's worth of driving， so taking a trip in this way can help protect the environment，" suggested Warren， according to US News．Another way to go green in your travel plans is to choose a place that will be helped most from your trip． For example， places like Nepal will enjoy an increase in its local economy （经济） through the trip．Disappearing sightsSome sights at risk of disappearing are also welcoming an increasing number of tourists．Everett Potter， a USA Today writer， says that the Arctic and Antarctic have attracted more and more tourists since they are being greatly influenced by climate （气候） change．Another top sight is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia． It's believed that the reef will be seriously harmed in just a few years because of pollution and global warming． Travelers look forward to seeing the coral （珊瑚） "before it's gone or completely changed"， Potter told US News．目前，许多中学生利用周末和节假日上课外补习班，对此人们有不同的看法．请根据下面内容写一篇短文．注意：1．表达清楚，语法通顺，上下文连贯；2．必须包括提示的所有信息，并适当发挥，至少两点；3．词数：100词左右（文章开头已给出，不计入总词数）；4．不得使用真实姓名、校名和地名等．Nowadays， many middle school students are taking all

many middle school students are taking all kinds of after﹣school classes at weekends or on holidays． There are two different opinions about it．Some people think that taking after﹣school classes can help students learn better and get higher marks in the entrance examination．Then they can get into a good high school． What's more， students can avoid spending too much time watching TV or playing computer games．【高分句型一】（赞成者的观点）However， others think students need time to rest． After﹣school classes can cause a lot of stress for students and it is not good for their health．（反对者的观点）In my

History books tell us that the city of Rome was set up in 152B． C． It's afact, however, that by 100A． D．, Rome was the centre of a big empire． It was from Syriain the east to Spain in the west, from Britain in the north to Africa in the south． All or partof 27of today's countries were included in the Roman Empire． All of their people wereruled by one government, that of Rome． All educated people spoke the samelanguage, Latin． And one of the empire's outposts（前哨） was called Londinium． This unimportant town would later become London, England, and the, centre of another empire． The Roman Empire came to an end about 1 , 500years ago． Yet in some ways it is stillwith us． Take the letters you are reading, for example, English, like many other languages, uses the Roman alphabet（字母）while also borrowing many words． The lawsof many European countries are based on ancient Roman laws． Roman ruins（废墟）are seen throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East． In some places, Roman roads and water courses are still in use． To this day, a European in North Africa is likely to be called "Roumi"﹣ Roman． Even modern place names are often after Ancient Rome． Both Greece and Germany have the names given by the Romans rather than the names that their own people first called them．（1）The main idea of Paragraph 2is that Roman culture is________．A dead and doneB still part of the presentC based completely onlanguage D unimportant to history．（2）What happened first？________A Londinium was an outpost．B The Roman Empire fell apart．C London became the centre of an empire．D The city of Rome was founded．．（3）Which of the following is NOT true？________A In Europe，27countries had the same laws．B In Europe，people still use Roman names in some places．C We may see some remaining parts of Roman Empire in North Africa．D Londinium became the centre of an empire after Roman Empire fell apart．18. A science fiction flying car looks like a normal car, but it is an aircraft that anybody can fly directly from any place to another without using roads or runways． Science fiction writers have written about flying cars for a long time． But now flying cars will soon fly outof the world of science fiction into our real world．And the dream of the science fiction writers will soon come true．The first﹣known sky car is the FSC﹣1．The FSC﹣1 looks like an expensive sports car．You can drive the FSC﹣1 on the road like a normal car．If you touch a button, its wings and propeller（螺旋桨）fold out and then it can take off, fly and land as an airplane．The owners of the FSC﹣1 can choose if they want to drive or fly．Another flying car or sky car is the Moller Skycar M400．Although you can't drive it on the roads, it is s mall and easy to fly and can take off and land like a helicopter（直升飞机）．Urban Aeronautics' X﹣Hawk is another type of sky car． It is expected to be available for about $3 million．Just like any new technology, flying cars have taken a long time to be developed．But some experts think the technology is far from what people imagine when they are sitting in traffic．It still needs to be improved．（1）________ kinds of flying cars are mentioned in the passage．A TwoB ThreeC FourD Five．（2）The writer thinks that flying cars will be no longer a dream because________．A science fiction writers' ideas are stupidB they are too expensive to makeC they will soon be availableD they are only in science fiction．（3）Some experts think the technology of flying cars is________．A normalB traditionalC not good enoughD strange．19. Do you think telling lies, whether a little or a lot, isn't that big of a deal? Well, that depends on the situation． If someone asks, "Does this dress make me look fat? " We might all lie． We might say, "Of course not． You look great．" Lying to ________ is onething． Lying to destroy（毁坏）someone's character is another．"What's really terrible is that you can't cancel a big lie, " says a man we'll call Morgan． "I promise if you go house to house to say, 'I feel terrible I wrongly charged my neighbor with stealing, ' the lie will spread like a fire． You can't call back a lie very easily．"Morgan goes on to say that lies have hurt people more than guns．"We have a grandfather in our church whose son﹣in﹣law told people the man treated his own children badly, " Morgan says． "To this day, we don't know whether it is true or not． I would doubt it, but I can't take a chance, especially if he is working with young people in our church．""I worked with a man who was stealing money from our boss, " says a man we'll call Fred． "He was good at lying and doctoring the books（做假账）．I worried, 'If I turned him in, and he got out of the trouble, my career at our company would come to an end．'"Fred says he came up with a plan to drop hints（暗示）to the company owner．"I found printed materials on the dishonest worker． I started mailing them to the company owner without leaving my name．Then one day, over lunch, I told my boss he should have the books checked carefully． He got the hint．"Fred told us that when the books were checked, the dishonest worker tried to blame（责怪）him for the mistakes． However, Fred told the company owner he had been droppinghints for some time．The boss got the picture． Fred kept his job． The dishonest guy was sent away．How to make a liar（说谎者）public takes work． It can be done, but you might have to give others time to accept the truth． The slower you move, the more control you will have．（1）The underlined phrase "spare someone's feelings" in Paragraph 1 means "________ "．A destroy someone's feelingsB avoid hurting someoneC put someone in a bad moodD express someone's ideas．（2）Which of the following can be used to conclude Paragraph 2？________A It's no use crying over spilt（洒出的）milk．B Every man has hismisses． C There is no smoke without fire． D Pride goes before a fall．．（3）How does the writer develop this passage？________A By listing numbers．B By comparing．C By giving examples．D By following order of time．．（4）What can we know from the passage？________A It was true that the grandfather treated his own children badly．B It is not difficultto let a dishonest man tell the truth． C Fred's boss believed the dishonest worker's words and sent Fred away． D To make a liar public， we should find out useful ways first．四、词汇运用（每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或对话情景提示，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式．每空只写一词．20.

You frown（皱眉）when you are angry or upset．Your parents pat（轻拍）your headto show their love．Some players like to throw their arms forward， as if they're flying，after they score． Body language is everywhere． How important is it？Body language does not use words．It is communication with the movement or position of your body．The way you stand， a hand gesture， a big smile， these are all examples of body language．According to American scientist Edward T．Hall，in a conversation between two people，65 percent of communication is body language．In some cases you can even express yourself without any words at all．For example，your friend asks you to come on a picnic with him； you give him an "OK" gesture to say，"Yes， sounds good! " Sometimes， your words say one thing but your body language says another．You may touch your face without knowing it while telling a lie．In different cultures， the same body language may mean different things． In the US， eye contact during a conversation shows your interest in what the other person is saying．But in some Asian countries， it is rude to look straight at a person when you are talking to him or her．People in some countries use different body language to show the same meaning．In France，people kiss cheeks（脸颊）to say hello．The Japanese prefer to bow and Maoris in New Zealand touch noses when greeting．When people make a clear understanding on body language and respect cultures of the countries or regions from which the communicating partners come，your body will workfor you in intercultural communication!六、句子翻译（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）31. 你曾梦想过环游世界吗？________32. 我们的国家正变得越来越强大．________33.

The sites provide information about life in the future.BDear Editor,"I hate these bicycles in front of my car," said a Beijing car driver when he was interviewed a few days ago by a reporter. And today, in a famous American magazine, I read that cars are nowwinning a victory(胜利)over bicycles in the capital of China.Who would have thought that Beijing, a city well-known around the world for its millions of cyclists, might lose its advantage in the struggle against city pollution? Unfortunately, it is true, and this situation might be worse.Each day I am proud to go to work by bike. At the age of 50, I think this means of transportation is the most suitable in a city with a large population like Beijing, and that it also helps me to keep fit.For almost 6 months, each time there is a traffic jam on Baishiqiao Road, cars are entering the bicycle road between the National Library and the Purple Bamboo Park. In turn, cyclists have to ride on the sidewalk to avoid these four-wheel "comers".I understand the people's desire(渴望)to own cars and the government's desire to develop the national car industry.However, when almost all big cities around the world are struggling to get rid of pollution caused by cars, encouraging their citizens to use other means of transportation and taking measures to reduce traffic jams in downtown areas, Beijing's government should understand that encouraging its citizens. to ride a bicycle is one of the means necessary to have a clean and enjoyable city in the future.Louise Cadicux29. It is reported in a well-known American magazine that _____ in Beijing.A. cars can be .seen everywhereB. bicycles are defeating carsC. cars are being defeated(击败)by busesD. bicycles are being defeated by cars30.

The writer of this letter mainly wants to tell usA. a lot of pollution is caused by carsB. car drivers hate bicycles on the roadC. bikes are clean means of transportationD. people have a desire to have their own carsC“How did you know I had a visitor with me?” asked Watson in amazement. “I sometimes believe you have eyes in the back of your head!”“I don’t, but I do have a very well polished silver coffeepot in front of me!” Holmes laughed. “And whom do I have the pleasure of greeting?” he asked.“I am Dr. James Mortimer, Mr. Holmes. It concerns the death of my good friend and patient, Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Charles Baskerville had no children, so his entire estate(财产) now pass to his nephew, Sir Henry Baske rville, who has been living in America for many years.” Dr. Mortimer took a letter out of his pocket which was given to him by Sir Charles just before his death 3 months ago. “ If I may, I should like to read the letter to you.” He adjusted his glasses.“Baskerville Hall, 1742. To my sons, Rodger and John. The legend（传说，传奇）has been toldby my father who was told by his father before him. It began 100 years ago in 1642 when this great Baskerville Hall was occupied（占有）by Hugo Baskerville ---a wild, ugly, cruel man. Hugo wanted to marry the daughter of a neighbouring farmer. One day, with his five evil friends, he rode to the farm and kidnapped the girl. He brought her to Baskerville Hall and locked her in an upstairs room while he and his friends having a drinking party below. The poor girl was very frightened, but she managed to climb out of the window. Hugo, however, soon noticed that she had gone. He chased the girl on his black horse with his hunting dog showing the way. His friends joined the chase until a strange sight stopped them. There lay two bodies--Hugo’s and the girl’s. Standing over Hugo’s body was a huge black beast（野兽）tearing out his throat（喉咙）.“I really don’t like fairy tales ”said Holmes. “What exactly is it you want me to do?”“I need you to advise me what to do with Sir Henry Baskerville who’s arriving here today”.32.How does Mr. Holmes know there’s a visitor?A.

As it travels, it releases the water into the sir. Does this mean that frogs and fish come raining down from the sky? Yes, this is exactly what happens!Cases of strange things falling down from the sky have been reported for many years. People have seen small frogs, fish, grasshoppers and snails drop from the sky in places like France, India and the United States. Are animals the only things that get swept up by storms? No. In fact, in 1995,it rained soda cans in the United States!26. Why is it possible to rain frogs from the sky?A. Frogs are swept up by the storm.B. God casts down a rain of frogs.C. Frogs go into the air when it rains.D. The sky is the living place for frogs.27. What are some unusual things that fall from the sky mentioned in this article?A. Frogs and snakes.B.

He had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees.Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants made them grow weaker. He said he had to make things difficult for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees' attention.Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Sometimes I walked by his house and looked at the trees I'd watched him plant 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.I planted several trees myself a few years ago. Two years of caring for these trees meant they grew up weakly. Every time a cold wind blew, my trees shook. Adversity seemed to be good for Doctor Gibb's trees，they could never relax.Every night before I go to bed，I check on my two sons. I often pray(祈祷)that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to experience difficulties. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots，so when the rains fall and the winds blow，we won't be separated.29. What did Doctor Gibbs do to the trees he planted?A. He let them grow quickly.B. He beat them to get their attention.C. He helped them search for water.D. He read a newspaper near them.30. What does the word "Adversity" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Difficult living conditions.B. Little water.C. Enough care or attention.D. Bad weather.31. What does the writer learn from Doctor Gibbs?A. Elders are treasures.B. No pain，no gain.C. Two heads are better than one.D. Only those who bear(容忍)the most become the highest.CLike many other countries around the world, China hopes to explore the moon. It has already done so with several probes(探测器) and lunar rover(月球车). But it has even bigger plans to put a man on the moon in the near future.Yang Liwei, China's first man in space, said that it will "not take long" for a manned mission(任务)to get offcial agreement and money support, according to the Xinhua News Agency.China's space programme is still young compared to those of the United States and Russia. But it has already made great achievements in exploring the moon. Its moon mission began with Chang'e 1, an unmanned orbital(轨道)probe that was sent up in October,2007. It collected data that was used to create a 3-D map of the moon's surface.China achieved another achievement with the Chang'e 3 mission. For this mission, China's first lunar rover, Yutu, successfully landed on the moon.For China's space programme, it was another great achievement that Chang'e 4, the second lunar rover successfully landed on the moon's far side, an area that has not yet been explored, in December, 2018.China will follow Chang'e 4 with a series of other lunar mission. These missions will include taking lunar soil and rock samples, building "moon base, and hopefully landing a human on the moon's surface around 2030, according to Zhao Xiaojin, a senior official at the China Academy of Space Technology.Last year, when Yang Liwei was asked if he had any plans to visit the moon himself, he replied, "If I am given the chance, no problem!" It is likely that many other Chinese share Yang's excitement about this new stage of China's space exploration efforts.32. Which of the following countries may be better than China in space programme?A. Russia.B. The UK.C. Canada.D. Australia.33.
