She became famous by accident.Her parents came to Africa with Julie many years ago when she was only five. They worked for a group called Save the Children, which helps poor children around the world. Julie soon made many new friends there. She became the best friend of a local boy called Kanu.One day Julie and Kanu were playing together. She was showing him how to use a camera. Then, Kanu wanted to take a photo of Julie with an interesting tree behind her. He couldn't fit her and the tree in the photo, so he told her to stand closer to the tree. He took a photo of Julie standing under the tree. Nothinghappened until they got the photo developed. When they looked at the photo, they saw something hanging down from the tree. At first, they thought it was a snake. Then they realized it was a leopard's tail. In the photo Julie was only about a metre away from it.Julie decided to go back to the tree to see if the leopard was still there. She wanted to get a better photo of her and the leopard. She and Kanu went in the middle of the day, because they knew that big cats are often asleep at that time of the day. As it so happened, the leopard was still there and was asleep, so they were able to get a good photo of Julie and the sleeping leopard together.After they got the photo of Julie with the leopard sleeping in the tree, they showed it to Kanu's father, who owned the local newspaper. He put the photo of Julie and the leopard in the Sunday paper. When people saw the photo, they wrote letters to the newspaper asking to see more, so Julie started to take more photos with lions, snakes and many other kinds of wild animals. Soon a lot of magazines started to buy the photos from her. Julie and her parents donated a lot of the money from these photos to Save the Children.It is strange that being famous can start from an accident.（1）What did Julie expect to see in the first photo?A.A snake.B.A leopard.C.Herself and an interesting tree.D.A leopard's tail.（2）Why did Julie and Kanu think it safe to go back and get another photo?A.Because big cats are often asleep in the middle of the day.B.Becausc Julie was standing under the tree.C.Because the leopard was not there.D.Because they are professional.（3）Who got the photo into the newspaper?A.Kanu's father.B.Julie's father.C.Kanu.D.Julie's parents.（4）What's the best title of this passage?A.A famous photo.B.Julie and a leopard.C.Famous by accident.D.A famous accident.4.Paul Zindel's death on March 27, 2003 ended the brilliant life of a famous writer.Not only did Paul Zindel win a Pulitzer Prize as well as an Obie Prize for his 1970 play The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, but be was one of the earliest writers in the field of contemporary literature for young adults. The Pigman, published in 1968, is still one of the most well-known and widely-taught novels in the genre. The American Library Association has named it one of the 100 Best of the Best Books for Young Adults published between 1967 and 1992, and Zindel's autobiography, The Pigman and Me, was among the 100 Best of the Best Books published for teenagers during the last part of the twentieth century. Six of Zindel's books, in fact, have been voted the Best Books for Young Adults, and most of his recent horror books—such as The Doom Stone and Rats—have been chosen as Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers. Clearly, he was a writer who knew how to interest contemporary children. Recognizing that, the American Library Association in 2002 honored Paul Zindel with the Margaret A. Edwards Prize for his lifetime achievements, and later that same year he was presented with the ALAN Prize for his contributions to Young Adult Literature. With his passing, young readers, teachers, and librarians have lost a great friend.（1）Which of Paul Zindel's books was the most popular with young adults in the 20th century?A.The Pigman and Me.B.The Doom Stone and Rats.C.The Pigman.D.The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in e-Moon Marigolds.（2）Why was Paul Zindel honored with the Margaret A. Edwards Prize?A.His recent horror books were widely read by children.B.His books were interesting and helpful to adults.C.He made great contributions to contemporary literature.D.He wrote a number of horror books for young adults.（3）When did Paul Zindel win the ALAN Prize?A.In 2002.B.In 2003.C.Between 1967 and 1992.D.Between 2002 and 2003.（4）Choose the correct statements from the following according to the passage.a. The Pigman and Me was one of the Best Books for teenagers.b. Zindel was one of the earliest writers who wrote for adults only.c. The Doom Stone and Rats are not popular with young adults.d. Zindel was given four prizes for literature before he died.e. At least eight of Zindel's books were very popular in his times.A.c,d,eB.a,d,eC.a,b,dD.a,b,c5.Airline travel causes roughly 2%—3％ of the pollution that makes the greenhouse effect worse. Airplanes powered by a very common gas called hydrogen（氢）could change all of that. Last Thursday, a company called ZeroAvia made a successful test flight of what it calls the "largest hydrogen-powered aircraft in the world". Many companies are working on hydrogen-powered vehicles, but ZeroAvia's test flight used a plane that can seat 6 people—the largest hydrogen powered plane ever flown. ZeroAvia made a similar flight in June, but that one was battery-powered.Hydrogen can be used to power vehicles by combining it with oxygen in a "fuel cell", which is like a battery that never runs out as long as it has hydrogen. The chemical reaction which takes place between hydrogen and oxygen in a fuel cell creates electricity, but doesn't give off any pollution—only water. Thursday's flight was an important step in the company's HyFlyer project. The company is hoping to make it possible for airlines to carry small numbers of passengers for short distances without polluting. The company's next big goal is to make a longer flight—of about 465 kilometers or more—by the end of the year. ZeroAvia believes passengers could actually be flying on hydrogen-powered airplanes by 2023.Another company called Gravity Industries put on a test of its jet suit recently to show how it could help emergency medical workers reach injured people quickly. The jet suit is powered by small jets on each arm and one on the back. By pointing the jets at the ground, the pilot can take off. Returning to the ground is just a matter of pointing both arms out to the side. Richard Browning, the suit's inventor, flew up a mountain to find some people who were pretending to be hurt（for the test）. To reach the spot by climbing the mountain would have taken 25 minutes. Mr. Browning was able to cover the same distance in just 90 seconds. One problem? The cost. The suit sells for about $440,000.（1）Compared with similar ones, what advantage does ZeroAvia's aircraft have?A.It has its own fuel cell.B.It flies faster and longer.C.It can be battery powered.D.It can contain more people.（2）What is ZeroAvia's opinion about its hydrogen-powered aircraft?A.It'll be more costly than ever.B.It'll be available for real soon.C.It'll rid the greenhouse effect.D.It'll get jet suits more popular.（3）Which aspect of the jet suit does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?A.How it helps people land.B.How it was tested.C.How it was invented.D.How it saves people's lives.（4）What is the suitable title for the text?A.New Flying Inventions Take offpanies Develop New PlanesC.Flying Fuel Cells Are Used WidelyD.Jet Suits Are on ZeroAvia's Planes6. （5分）假设你是李华，为了减少舌尖上的浪费，你校英语俱乐部拟举办有关“爱惜食物，从我做起”的英语演讲活动，请你写一篇演讲稿。

Stretching over 13,000 miles, it is a series of walls and fortresses built to protect the Chinese empires from invasions. Construction began as early as the 7th century BC and continued for over two millennia, with several dynasties contributing to its construction.The Wall is primarily made of bricks and stones, and it passes through diverse landscapes, including mountains, deserts, and grasslands. It is said that it can be seen from space, making it one of the most visible landmarks on Earth. The Wall is not only a symbol of China’s strength and resilience but also a testament to the ingenuity and hard work of the ancient Chinese people.In recent years, the Great Wall has faced numerous challenges, including environmental degradation, looting, and tourism. Despite these issues, efforts are being made to preserve and restore this ancient wonder.Questions:1、What is the main purpose of the Great Wall of China?A) To connect different provinces in China.B) To protect the Chinese empires from invasions.C) To serve as a trade route.D) To promote cultural exchange.2、When did the construction of the Great Wall begin?A) In the 3rd century BC.B) In the 7th century BC.C) In the 1st century AD.D) In the 4th century BC.3、What materials are primarily used in the construction of the Great Wall?A) Wood and bamboo.B) Bricks and stones.C) Iron and steel.D) Leather and silk.4、What challenges does the Great Wall face today?A) Environmental degradation and looting.B) Overcrowding from tourism.C) Lack of funding for preservation.D) All of the above.Answers:1、B2、B3、B4、D第二题Reading Passage:The following is an excerpt from a science article about the impact of climate change on polar bear populations.In recent years, the rapid melting of polar ice caps has become a major concern for scientists studying climate change. One of the most affected species is the polar bear, which relies on sea ice for hunting seals, their primary food source. As the ice melts, polar bears are finding it increasingly difficult to find food, leading to a decline in their populations.The Arctic ice has been shrinking at an alarming rate, with some areas experiencing a 13% loss of ice per decade. This loss of ice not only affects the polar bears’ ability to hunt but also disrupts their migration patterns. Researchers have observed that polar bears are spending more time on land, where they have limited access to food, and are forced to travel greater distances to find it.Furthermore, the warming temperatures are causing changes in the distribution of prey species. For example, seals, which are the main food source for polar bears, are moving to cooler waters, making it even harder for polar bears to find them. This shift in the ecosystem has significant implications for the survival of polar bear populations.Despite the urgency of the situation, conservation efforts have been slowto adapt to these changing conditions. Many polar bear habitats are located in remote areas, making it challenging for researchers and conservationists to monitor and protect them effectively.Questions:1、What is the main cause of the decline in polar bear populations according to the passage?A. Human huntingB. Global warmingC. DiseaseD. Lack of food2、How is the melting of polar ice caps affecting polar bears’ hunting habits?A. It is making hunting easier for them.B. It is causing them to spend more time on land.C. It is increasing their food supply.D. It is reducing the number of seals.3、What is the primary food source for polar bears?A. FishB. SealsC. BirdsD. Insects4、Why are polar bears forced to travel greater distances according to thepassage?A. Because they are migrating to new habitats.B. Because the ice caps are melting and they need to find food.C. Because they are becoming more aggressive.D. Because they are following the migration patterns of other animals.Answers:1、B. Global warming2、B. It is causing them to spend more time on land.3、B. Seals4、B. Because the ice caps are melting and they need to find food.第三题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.The Story of the Great WallThe Great Wall of China is one of the most famous symbols of Chinese history and culture.

The record 1,057 MW of capacity (生产能力) in small-scale systems installed across the country broke the previous record set in 2012, figures from the Clean Energy Regulator showed on Tuesday.Australia’s solar power prosperity could almost double capacity in a year. The data also revealed that the average system size has also doubled since then from three to six kilowatts as average prices continued to fall. A fully installed 5KW system costs an average of $5,930 in Australia, according to the energy broker Solarchoice. net. au. Its records show that the price has roughly halved in many capital cities since 2012.The regulator’s executive general manager, Mark Williamson, said there was increasing interest in renewals as a way to take control of electricity bills. But more importantly, he said it was also good news for reducing carbon emissions.“We are seeing a wide cross-section of Australians-households, community centers, schools, and small businesses-receiving rewards under the small-scale renewable energy scheme,” Williamson said. “Our data shows consumers are embracing renewable energy to take control of their electricity bills.”In 2017, there was a 41% increase in installing renewable energy capacity across all states and territories compared to 2016. Queensland led the way with installed capacity at 295MW, with the Australian Capital Territory taking top place for the biggest annual increase by 57%. “The data collected by the Clean Energy Regulator in 2017 reflects the industry is going from strength to strength. It looks like 2018 will be another big year for the solar industry.”The total of installed capacity for last year is expected to rise to 1,070MW when all the data is collected.

Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Maybe they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on We Chat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers (低头族).Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities (身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring isreal. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Always bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors’ words. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.(1)( ) Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2?A. To suggest phubbers will destroy the world.B. To call for people to go walking without phones.C. To tell people of the bad effects of phubbing.D.
