Pegnataro，the 1943 class president of James Hillhouse High School，remembers the attack on Pearl Harbor like it was yesterday.On December 7,1941，Pegnataro said，he and his friends were skating when they heard over the radio that America had entered a state of war.Going to war meant no party any more.Pegnataro‟s carefree high school life suddenly came to an end.“Most of us went right into the service after graduation，” Pegnataro said.“We graduated in June and were in the army in July.”Of the 1,585 students at James Hillhouse High School，less than 300 are still alive today and many of them never made it back from war.Pegnataro，who is now 87，decided that along with their 70-year class reunion (重聚)，they would also hold that party they never got to have.About 70 people from around the country came to dance on Sunday.“It was excellent.Everyone there just had a great time，” Pegnataro said.“Those that came guessed it might be their last one.”Pegnataro said he_was_on_cloud_nine to bring his wife of 53 years back to the party，and he introduced her to each of his classmates.“Everyone was very excited at the party.Though we had been separated for so many years，the war brought my class

knowledgeB．James Hillhouse High SchoolC．An unusual partyD．War and peaceCIn our daily life，it is necessary to make small talk in certain situations.It helps to fill time between people when it is completely quiet.You may not feel like talking with someone else or you are very shy at the beginning，but it is sometimes thought to be rude to say nothing.People use small talk almost every day.It usually takes place when you meet someone you don‟t know at all or someone you‟re not familiar with.For example，waitresses and hairdressers often make small talk with their customers.If you happen to be outside when the mailman comes to your door，you might make small talk with him，too.Most often，small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something.For example，you might talk with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive.People also make small talk in a doctor‟s waiting room，or when they are waiting in a line to buy something.At the office，people make small talk in elevators or lunchrooms，especially if there is a line-up.Mingling is often required among people who don‟t know each other very well at a party.In other words，they are expected to walk around and talk with others.The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone on a given day.For example，if you see a co-worker in the lounge (休息室) you might say hello and discuss the sports or weather.However，the next time you see each other you might just smile and say nothing.If there is very little noise，it might be the right time to start a pleasant conversation.If someone is reading a book at the bus stop，it is probably not a good idea to start a conversation.Another good time to make small talk is during a break in a meeting when there is nothing important going on.However，it is important to recognize the signal when the other person wants the conversation to stop.29．The underlined word “Mingling” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by________.A．Honesty B．PolitenessC．Conversation D．Understanding30．The third paragraph mainly talks about ________.A．how to make small talkB．when to make small talkC．where small talk happensD．why people make small talk31．The author develops the last paragraph mainly by________.A．giving explanations B．providing examplesC．telling stories D．discussing questionsA．can help to break the silenceB．won‟t happen among strangersC．is often thought to be unnecessaryD．always makes people uncomfortableDAn old car carried Elvis Presley and his parents out of Mississippi to a better life in Memphis，Tennessee.However，life did not improve forthirteen-year-old Elvis，who was immediately recognized as being different from the other teens in his neighborhood.He talked with a thicker southern accent than his classmates.Even the way he dressed set him apart.He wore bright colors instead of the more traditional styles other students preferred.Not surprisingly，young Elvis avoided social situations.One of Elvis‟s few pleasures was music，an interest that his mother，Gladys Love Presley，supported by buying him a guitar.He made his first demo (样本唱片) album the summer after graduation，but instead of offering it to a record company，he gave it to his mother.After Presley performed at an audition (试音)，singer Eddie Bond shook his head and told the eighteen-year-old，“You‟re never going to make it as a singer.”His confidence shaken，Presley took a job at Crown Electric Company，driving a delivery truck.Months later，a studio asked Presley to perform the song WithoutYou.Although the owner of the studio，Sam Phillips，was impressed with Presley‟s performance，he did not like the way he performed the song.At Phillips‟s suggestion，Presley recorded two other songs，That‟sAllRight and BlueMoonofKentucky.These two singles helped him land performances at local clubs.Although he was not earning enough to give up his day job，it was a start.The future looked bright when Presley landed a four-week performing tour in Las Vegas，but the tour was cut in half because of poor ticket sales.Sadness turned to hope when Presley was asked to perform on the Grand Ole Opry，a live radio show.But he was refused after only one performance，and the manager Jimmy Denny told him，“You are going nowhere，son.You ought to go back to driving a truck.”Perhaps the sadness led him to release Heartbreak Hotel the following year.The song topped the R&B，pop and country music charts (排行榜)，and started Presley‟s great career.He became one of the most successful and po pular singers of all time.33.Young Elvis‟s life in Memphis can be described as________.A．lonely B．excitingC．happy D．busy34．What‟s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．Elvis Presley found it difficult to find a job.B．Elvis Presley‟s music won the support of his mother.C．Sam Phillips helped Elvis Presley start his music career.D．Sam Phillips made Elvis Presley popular all over the country.35．What does the story of Elvis Presley tell us?A．All roads lead to Rome.B．It‟s never too late to learn.C．Success never comes easily.D．Actions speak louder than words.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

A Have you ever heard a news reporter talk about DNA? Reporters talk about DNA found at the scene of a crime. They talk about police finding DNA “fingerprints”. Police sometimes use DNA as a clue to find out who committed the crime. DNA is a substance(物质) that makes up genes. Everything alive has genes. Plants have genes. Animals have genes. You have genes. Genes are the basic units of heredity (遗传). Heredity means all the characteristics you inherit from your parents. You get your genes from your parents. You inherit half of your genes, from your mother. You inherit half of your genes from your father. Genes are a kind of code. A tree's genes tell what shape its leaves will be. A cat's genes tell what color its fur will be. Your genes tell what color your eyes will be. Your genes tell what color your hair will be. Everything about you comes from the code in your genes. Genes line up on strands(链) called chromosomes(染⾊体) in cells. Everything alive is made up of cells. Chromosomes are in the center, or nucleus, of cells. Different parts of you are made of different kinds of cells. Your muscles are made of muscle cells. Your skin is made of skin cells. The code in your genes tells your body to make different kinds of cells. The genes in each cell tell the cell how to work. They tell the cell when to make new copies of itself. An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel first saw inherited patterns in pea plants. He experimented with pea plants in the 1860s. One of the things, or traits(特质), Mendel studied was what makes some pea plants tall and some short. He said that the traits must come from units of heredity passed from the parent plants. These units were later called genes. In the mid-1990s, scientists discovered that genes are made of DNA. In the 1970s, scientists learned how to change DNA with genetic engineering. Scientists also learned that problems with certain genes cause diseases. Muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia are some genetic diseases—diseases caused by problems in genes. Today, scientists are looking for ways to cure genetic diseases by changing genes through a process called gene therapy. 21.What is DNA? A. It is a kind of gene. B. It is a substance that makes up genes. C. It is the basic unit of heredity. D. It is a measure to protect crime. 答案与解析：B　细节理解题。

AIn 2017, Amanda Gorman, then 19, was named the first National Youth Poetlife.Laureate. She spoke with TFK’s Brian McGrath about poetry in herHas poetry always been a part of your life?I began writing songs when I was 5. When I got to middle school, I said tomyself, “Amanda, you can’t sing at all.” But it seemed that the songs I was writing were actually poems. I began changing from music to poetry and spoken word.What has poetry done for you?Poetry allows me to choose my own voice. I have spent a lot of time writingprose (散文) stories.

It follows the tales (故事) of Sunshine the pup (小狗) (based onRao’s real-life Cocker Spaniel of the same name) and Papa Dog. Each page presents alesson on topics such as overcoming difficulties, working hard, and of course,believing in one’s self.“I feel that the Syrian refugee children need to hear a message of hope,” s “I’m happy that I was able to write this book and share this message with them.The refugee children have accepted Rao’s encouraging message so enthusiastically that the Istanbul Centre for Support to Life has begun translatingBelieve inRao’s book into Arabic so they’ll be able to read it in their own language.Yourself has also earned Rao a prize from the Independent Publishers Book Awardsfor Best Children’s eBook.In order to get Believe in Yourself into the hands of as many children as possible,Rao and her family have promised to donate (捐赠) a copy of the book to a refugeechild for every copy sold.24.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has collected more than 736,000 cubic (立方的) yards of rubbish as they rush to clean up St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, three major islands, but there is no place to put it. Some of the the Virgin Islands’rubbish is metal (金属), some of it is wood and parts of buildings, but most of it is trees and other plants.The Army Corps will ship the metal to the U.S. mainland to be sold. After being cut up into small parts, wood and other rubbish will be sent there, too. But it is much harder to get rid of the trees and big plants. The Army Corps wanted to burn the plant waste. It is the cheapest way to get rid of it, which was done in New York and New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy in 2012.But people in the Virgin Islands thought it could harm their health and the healthof the islands, too. The protest started on the island of St. John, which is circled bycoral reefs (珊瑚礁) and includes a big national park. People on St. Thomas and St.Croix joined in, too.Sending the plant waste to the mainland is not a good idea, either. It includesinsects that could create problems in other areas. In Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean Sea, the Army Corps is cutting plant waste into mulch (护根), which helps improve the soil. People in the Virgin Islands like the idea. But there may not be enough space for all of it.And some people are tired of waiting.
