Never say never”, said a rising 17-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, who was just an ordinary boy in Canada a few years ago. After the accident of falling from the 18thfloor and lying in the snow for three hours, my hands were frozen and my spinal cord (脊髓)was seriously injured. All the doctors and professors in the famous hospitals in Beijing told me that there was little chance for my hands and my body to recover (康复). After half a year of medical treatments and recovering exercises, I could not make any more progress for over a year. What was worse , I suffered a lot from depression (绝望).

At that time, I thought that I would never be able to walk again. I would never love and be loved. I would never be able to earn even a penny. I would never be able to repay the kindness I got from my parents and many nice people. Life was meaningless. Now two years has passed. My hands are 80% recovered. I can even type faster than a healthy person! Up to now, I have worked for a law firm as an interpreter for half a year already. Although I don’t earn as much as before, I am able to pay for the food and clothes I need. What’s more, I even have extra money to buy thanksgiving presents for my parents and my boyfriend. Through my blogs (博客) , many people get to know me and like me. I can bring happiness to them. I can help those who are still suffering from depression and the pain of illnesses by chatting with them….You see, I am living a meaningful life and I am happier than ever I could have dreamed.So, my friends, never say never.

How about starting a new country? Patri Friedman is planning to do just that. He left Google years ago to set up the Seasteading Institute. And his dream is to build seasteads-----floating micro-nations in the middle of the ocean. So, what will life on a seastead be like? Probably a bit like life on a cruise liner (游轮), but much larger, with shops, gyms, swimming pools, schools and other areas. In fact, the early seasteads may actually be specially-rebuilt cruise liners. But as science advances, Friedman believes they’ll become more like floating cities, with several hundred people. Seasteading raises a lot of questions. First of all, how will the new countries make money? The Seasteading Institute has suggested several money-making ideas, including ocean-based theme parks, casinos (赌场) and fish farming. There’s also the questions of safety. With storms, typhoons and pirates (海盗) , the high seas are a dangerous place. However, the Institute says that it can stand bad weather and prevent crimes with its well-designed systems. So, is this just a day dream? Well, maybe not. One of the people behind the project is Peter Thiel. He founded PayPal and was one of the first investors (投资者) in Facebook. So far, he’s donated $ 500,000 to the project. And Friedman isn’t wasting any time. He recently announced the creation of the Poseidon Award. This will be given to the first seastead with fifty people.Friedman is hoping to hand out the award in 2015.42．Where did Friedman use to work?A．In Facebook.B．In Seastead Institute . C．In PayPal.D．In Google.43．A future seastead may be most likely to look like ___________________.A．a cruise linerB．a floating cityC．a theme parkD．a fishing farm44．What can we infer from the passage?A．Friedman is planning to move to a new country.B．Friedman is worried about the safety of seasteads.C．Friedman has got some supporters for his project.D．Friedman has already won the Poseidon Award.45．Which of the following can be the best titles of this passage?A．Seasteading: a new idea of livingB．Seasteading: a wild way of farmingC．Peter Thiel: a man behind the projectD．Patri Friedman: a crazy day dreamer五、根据句意填空 根据句意和汉语提示，在空白处填入适当的单词 46．_____________(节日)like Christmas and Halloween are also popular in China now. 47．Pop star White Houston was found _______________( 死亡)on the eve of the Grammy Awards. 48．---What are the workers doing over there? ----- They are busy_______________( 建造 ) the BRT between Haizhou and Xugou. 49．Unluckily , the recent floods _______________( 摧毁) many farm-houses in the south. 50．Daniel did the exercises too________________( 粗心 ) , and it made his teacher very angry.51．根据对话意思和所给首字母，写出完整正确的单词 As everyone knows, (1) e______________ fast walk or slow walk does good to the muscles and lungs of human.

2021连云港英语中考作文题目及答案Title: 2021 Lianyungang English Middle School Entrance Exam Essay Question and AnswerIntroduction: The 2021 Lianyungang English Middle School Entrance Exam featured a variety of challenging andthought-provoking essay questions. One such question centered on the importance of environmental protection and sustainable development. This essay will explore the question and provide a well-rounded answer.Essay Question: "In today's world, environmental protection and sustainable development have become increasingly important. Discuss why these issues are crucial for the future of our planet and what individuals can do to contribute to a more sustainable world."Answer:In recent years, the issue of environmental protection and sustainable development has gained significant attention globally. The growing concern over climate change, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources has highlighted the urgent need for individuals and communities to take action to safeguard the planet for future generations. In this essay, I willdiscuss why environmental protection and sustainable development are crucial for the future of our planet and explore the various ways in which individuals can contribute to a more sustainable world.First and foremost, environmental protection is essential to preserving the delicate balance of ecosystems and biodiversity on Earth. Human activities such as deforestation, industrial pollution, and overfishing have had devastating effects on the environment, leading to the loss of habitats, extinction of species, and disruption of natural cycles. By taking steps to protect the environment, we can help to maintain the health and stability of ecosystems, ensuring the survival of diverse plant and animal species.Additionally, sustainable development is vital for meeting the needs of current and future generations without compromising the ability of the planet to sustain life. As the global population continues to grow and resource consumption increases, it is imperative that we find ways to minimize our impact on the environment and promote sustainable practices. This includes conserving energy, reducing waste, and investing in renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind power.Individuals can play a crucial role in promoting environmental protection and sustainable development through their everyday choices and actions. Simple measures such as recycling, using public transportation, and conserving water can have a significant impact on reducing waste and carbon emissions. Moreover, by supporting local businesses, buying organic products, and advocating for sustainable policies, individuals can help to create a more environmentally conscious society.In conclusion, environmental protection and sustainable development are critical for the future of our planet. By taking proactive steps to protect the environment and promote sustainable practices, individuals can contribute to a more sustainable world and ensure a healthy and prosperous future for future generations. It is up to each of us to make a difference and work together to address the environmental challenges we face. Together, we can create a more sustainable and resilient world for all.。

And today is all about enjoying it. Because what's better than finding something really great from days gone by?It's so easy to forget things you have. If we don't use them every day, some things can be put away and stay there. And that's not just the things in your home— technology grows so quickly, new toys come out all the time, new books keep coming out. In the age of new information, we can have so many things easily. Today is all about remembering thethings we sometimes leave behind.We've learned to value what age can bring to things. Wines, for example, are more valuable and tastier as they grow older.

She went out of the house and ran around the garden ten times. Ben Weatherstaff was working in it."Spring is coming," he said to Mary. "I can smell it in the air. Soon there will be spring flowers. At this moment, the robin flew toward them and landed at Mary's feet."He remembers me, "she said."He knows everything that happens here, "Ben said. "Only he knows what's happening in the garden that has no door into it. No one else has been inside it for ten years. "Ben walked away to continue his work. Mary bent down and began talking to the robin.She felt happier than she had ever felt.The robin trusted her and did not fly away. It began pecking at the ground, looking for a worm to eat. Mary looked closely at the ground. She saw something that looked like metal.She picked it up. It was dirty and rusty. She cleaned it and saw that it was a key."It's been in the ground for many years, "she thought. "I wonder if it is the key to the garden. If it is, then I must find the door. "Mary skipped around the garden. The robin followed her. Mary stopped skipping and spoke to the robin."He showed me where to find the key, "she thought. "Can you show me where the door is? "The robin sat on the top of the garden wall. It began to sing. The wall was covered with ivy. Mary pulled at a piece of the ivy. It came away from the wall. Behind the wall was a door. Mary put the key in the lock of the door and turned it. The door opened.

They form when sunlight falls on water drops in the air. But in fact, moonlight can also create rainbows in the same way. They are called "moonbows". They are similar to rainbows, but they are created by moonlight instead of direct sunlight.Moonbows are rarer than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical (天文学的）conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created.The moon has to be very low in the sky — only 42 degrees from the horizon (地平线）.The moon period has to be a full moon or nearly full. The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly — any bright light can obscure it. Water drops must appear in the air in the opposite direction of the moon.Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to thehuman eye. This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye. It is possible, however, to view the colors in a moonbow using long exposure (长时间曝光）photography.Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world. Most of theselocations usually have waterfalls, which create thin fog in the air. Some of these locations are the Yosemite National Park in California and Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky, US; Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe; and Waimea in Hawaii, US.Moonbows do really happen. So at a certain time and a certain place, when a moonbow happens to appear, you can't miss it if you're right there.42.According to the first two paragraphs, moonbows are ______.A. created by sunlightB. much easier to findC. seen during the dayD. more difficult to form43.Which of the following can be the conditions for a moonbow to form?A. A half moon hangs high in the bright sky.B. A full moon is 50 degrees from the horizon.C. A nearly full moon hangs low in the dark sky.D. Water drops are in the opposite direction of the sun.44.What does the underlined word " obscure "in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. cover.B. drop.C. connect.D. produce.45.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. Conditions of moonbows.B. Background of moonbows.C. Locations of moonbows.D. Development of moonbows.四、信息匹配（本大题共5小题，共5.0分）There are not many nations that can say their national dish has becomeinternational.

It may not be a cloud, but a Flogo -- a logo that flies. It's a new form of advertising in the sky that's never been used before. It's a different way to market your products, logos, and events.These funny logos are made with soap bubbles （肥皂泡）mixed with a little helium gas （氦气）,which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for $ 2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds.Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20, 000 feet, they usually float around at 300- 500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future.Flogos are Green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment. 34．Flogos are mainly used to _____.A．advertise in the sky B．make funny bubblesC．improve weather conditions D．see colorful clouds35．Why are Flogos healthy and good for the environment?A．Because they can float high and last for a long time in the sky.B．Because there is a little helium gas mixed with soap bubbles.C．Because the machines used to make them are special and expensive.D．Because the soap used to make them comes from plants and leaves.36．From the passage, we can infer that Flogos _____.A．can fly for hours in the sky all day B．can have different colors at present C．may be influenced by the weather D．may be the cheapest way of advertising 37．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．Machines -- Used for Flogos!

When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor.It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second-highest number in the world. Only Nigeria has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families.Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad.Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, "Why don't you go to school?" The boy answered that his parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters.Ayub was also an orphan and he, too, had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. He said, "When my father died, everyone who came to the funeral said they weresorry, but no one helped." He sold newspapers and did other work to earn enough money to pay school fees for his brothers and sisters.Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars, but he did not have enough money to pay the boy's school fees.Today, Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park. Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework.Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park.Ayub said," I used to argue with kids who worked ' Why are you washing someone's dishes or their clothes? Why don't you study? ' "One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. "He followed us back home.

Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors.People like to go to this place especially in June as they wantto see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.For many years, historians(历史学家) believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial(埋葬) place or a place to honor ancestors(祖先). Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says PaulStoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working — and great planners!”36.
