And I remember one night she made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.That evening, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burnedcookies in front of my dad. I remembered waiting to see if anyone would say anything. Yet all my dad did was to reach for his cookie, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him eat every bite of that cookie!When I got up from the table that evening, I remembered hearing my mom apologize (道歉) to my dad for burning the cookies. And I’ll never forget what he said, “Dear, I love burned cookies.”Later that night, I went to kiss Dad goodnight, and I asked him if he really did like his cookies burned. He embraced (拥抱) me and said, “Your mom had a hard day at work today, and she’s very tired. Besides, a little burned cookie never hurt anyone!”Life is full of imperfect (不完美的) things and imperfect people.

When you travel around Southeast Asia, are you hoping to ride an elephant? Well, TripAdvisor said this month that they would no longer sell tickets for these kinds of wildlife(野⽣动植物) activities. TripAdvisor is one of the world’s busiest travel websites.The University of O xford’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit published(出版) a study last year. It said that these activities were bad for animals. When people make elephants carry visitors, they often beat them with sticks (棍⼦). People also drug (下药) tigers and lions to make them safer for tourists to stay with.“This an imal abuse (虐待) is a hidden by-product (副产品) of the tourism industry(旅游业),” said Steve McIvor, CEO of World Ani mal Protection. According to the Oxford study, wildlife attractions take up 20 to 40 percent of all tourism worldwide. Up to 6 million people visit these attractions each year. As many as 4 million tourists spend money on these wildlife activities. Without this money, theseactivities would stop running.However, the study also found that many of these tourists are actually animal lovers. About 80 percent of them didn’t know that these activities weren’t good for the animals. Tourists aren’t very good at t elling whether a wildlife attraction is humane (⼈道的) or not, said the study.“That’s why it’s so important for TripAdvisor to end its sales of the wildlife activities. It sends a message that taking photos with tigers or riding elephants is not something y ou should do,” said McIvor.49.What is TripAdvisor?A. It is a zoo.B. It is an animal activity.C. It is a travel group.D. It is a travel website.50.In the second paragrap h, “It said that these activities were bad for animals”, “it”refers to (指代) _____.A. the University of OxfordB. Wildlife Conservation ResearchUnitC. the studyD. TripAdvisor51.How many people visit wildlife attractions every year?A. 20 million.B. 6 million.C. 4 million.D. 80 million.52.Why will TripAdvisor stop selling tickets for wildlife activities?A. They can’t make much money from wildlife activities.B. TripAdvisor wants to do business in other areas.C. It is dangerous for people to take wildlife activities.D. Those activities are bad for wildlife animals.第Ⅱ卷(⾮选择题，共36分）五、词汇检测（共10⼩题：每⼩题1分，满分10分）根据下列句⼦及所给汉语注释或通过上下⽂，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。

It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any given day. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sister’s friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me around at the carnival. He did not let me down.Well, the carnival is all about the samba (桑巴舞). It’s a style of music and dance which comes from Africa. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals (和声). It is the kind of music that you couldn’t help dancing to. And I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd.Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba Parade (游行) inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools take part in the competition. But we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street.So, you must be wondering how the samba parade was in Sambadrome. ★. Ronnie and I never made into Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and itwas truly amazing.61. The underlined words “it blew my mind” in the passage probably mean __________.A. it made me tiredB. it brought me childhood memoriesC. it raised some questions in my mindD. it made me very surprised and excited62. After the writer arrived at the carnival, __________.A. she lost her wayB. she was too shy to danceC. she was received by a local guideD. she felt sorry for the crowded streets63. Why didn’t the writer regret missing the main parade?A. Because she met some amazing local peopleB. Because she made her own parties in the streetC. Because she celebrated the festival in a local wayD. Because the ticket for the parade was not expensive64. Which of the following sentence can be put in ★?A. I agree with youB. It’s really a good ideaC. Well, I’m afraid I can’t tell youD. But I have never heard of it before65. What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Amazing CarnivalB. An Unforgettable Street PartyC. A Story Behind the Samba ParadeD. Learning Samba in Rio de JaneiroCI grew up in the countryside of Poland. It’s an area where skiing is popular, but my family was poor. I couldn’t afford to ride the ski lift, so I used to hike up with the skis on my back. It turned out that this was good practice.K2 is nicknamed “savage (野蛮的) mountain”. You hear tragic stories: For every four people who reach the summit, one dies. I was too afraid to even think about skiing down it. Even the best ski mountaineers thought it impossible.But that changed after a training expedition (考察) to Broad Peak. I got a clear look at K2’sextremely large face, and it inspired me. Over time, my skills improved and, by 2017, I didn’t feel the fear anymore. I began preparations.Why attempt such a feat (壮举)? I love nature, and I love setting goals. To be the first to do it just adds to the challenge. Fear is an important part of life, but to ski down K2, I had to stop being afraid.At the base camp, I felt calm and prepared. There were no emotions or doubts--I just knew I could do it. But there were challenges. At the third base camp, 7, 000 meters up, my safety guy suffered severe back pain. We waited for 36 hours after he got better, and I decided to proceed. In total, it took about three days to reach the summit.For many climbers, getting to the peak of K2 would be the defining moment of their lives. For me, it was where the real challenge began. Skiing down a mountain demands patience and endurance (耐力).The most dangerous part was the Messner Traverse. It’s pure ice, up to a75-degree angle in places, with drops on either side. You need to keep your turns and movements smooth and confident. No one had challenged it before, so it was a relief to cross it.In total, going down the mountain took about seven hours. When I finally skied into camp, I was too tired tostand up.I am so proud of what I achieved. No one thought it could be done. It taught me the value of patience and that nobody else can make your dreams come true.66. From the first paragraph, we know that the author __________.A. was poor at skiingB. was interested in skiingC. lived in Poland where everyone liked skiingD. preferred hiking with skis on his back to riding the ski lift67. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about __________.A. how difficult it is to ski down K2B. why the author wanted to challenge K2C. how many mountaineers ever reached K2D. howK2 got the nickname “savage mountain”68. The underlined word “proceed” in paragraph 5 probably means __________.A. give upB. go onC. get upD. go back69. What are the best words to describe the author?A. Confident and honest.B. Patient and determined.C. Understanding and careful.D. Hardworking and helpful.70.

crowds before.So，what was behind this"museum craze（狂热）"？"Part of the reason is a growing interest in traditional Chinese culture，especially among young Chinese."said Guo Sike from the Confucius Museum in Qufu.He added that modern technologies（现代技术）have also played an important role.They make it possible for people to experience traditional culture in a more lovable and lively way.One Sunday morning in February，there was a long line of visitors waiting in front of the Shanxi Museum in Taiyuan before its opening hour."This museum is so popular that we needed to book tickets a week before.A large number of historical things are on show here."Wang Bin，a visitor with his family from Beijing said，"After the visit，my kid will have a better understanding about the long history of Shanxi

do you know how butterflies and bees pollinate？In fact，they are getting their own transport network as bee bus stops start to appear around UK cities and across Europe.Bee bus stops are similar to the bus stops we see today.The only difference is that there are small gardens（花园）on the top.The gardens are full of flowers for pollinators.A company（公司）named Clear Channel is working with the Wildlife Trusts，a group that works to protect wildlife in the UK，to set up such bee bus stops in cities across the UK.Clear Channel hopes to set up at least 1，000 bee bus stops in the UK.In fact，the company has already started similar programs in several countries in Europe.Utrecht，Europe's first city to get bee bus stops now has more than 300.The number of pollinators was becoming smaller and smaller in the UK year by year，according to the Wildlife Trusts.It worried people a lot.Luckily，the idea of bee bus stops came out in time and it is working out fine.A study shows that the number of pollinators in the UK has stopped dropping over the last few years.As well as the pollinators like bees and butterflies benefit，the bus stops can also help to lower city temperature.Even though the gardens on their tops are small，together they add up to a much larger area."We are facing the problem of global warming（全球变暖）and we need to use everything we've got to help solve it.The bee bus stops are one of our solutions."says a worker of the Wildlife Trusts."Although bee bus stops are small，they can make a big difference."（1）What might bee bus stops look like？ A.B.C.D.（2）According to Paragraph 2，which
