AAruba is one of the most well-known Caribbean destinations for tourists around the world. You’re probably wondering what to include as well as what to wear while you’re in Aruba. ClothesThe main reason why you’re heading there is to relax on the country’s fresh beaches and joy in warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. During most of the day, you’ll likely be wearing your swimsuit. When you’re finished at the beach or pool ar ea, it is advisable to bring along a shirt or cover as well as shorts to wear.It is not recommended to wear beach clothes when you go out for dinner – regardless of the time of day. Shorts and T-shirts are enough in many restaurants, although more formal clothes are advised for the fanciest eating establishments.What else to bring?The Caribbean sun is very strong and if you’re planning on spending lots of time in the sun, there are several precautions you must take. Include suncream, sunglasses, a wide hat, a couple of bathing suits, as well as a beach bag and a cooler in your luggage.What NOT to bring?While drinking water is questionable or not safe in many Caribbean nations, Aruba is an exception. Aruba is known for having the cleanest water in the world. There is no need to bring water, simply bring along an empty bottle.Several items are prohibited in Aruba for carrying. These include firearms, e-cigarettes, as well as sharp objects and tools.1.Tourists choose Aruba for a destination mainly because__________.A. they can wear casual clothes freelyB. they can enjoy the beautiful sceneryC. they can relax on the beach and in watersD. they can have a wonderful dinner party there2. Which of the following is not advised to do in Aruba?A. Wearing a T-shirt in a restaurant.B. Preparing suncream in advance.C. Wearing beach clothes for dinner.D. Taking along sun glasses before going out.3. The purpose of the text is to__________.A. provide information for touristsB. offer advice on travelling in ArubaC. attract more tourists to travel in ArubaD. warn tourists against doing wrong thingsBI never planned to be a teacher. I was headed for a law school, for a real career. Teaching was something to “get out of my system”. I would teach a couple of ye ars and then go to get a real job. After the first couple of years, I promised myself I would leave if I didn’t love my job any more. Twenty-nine years later, that day still has not come.So, why do I stay? I stay because I laugh and learn every day. The children are funny, insightful, and honest. If my shoes don’t match my outfit, they tell me. If my argument that Invisible Man is an important twentieth century classics doesn’t convince them, they tell me.I stay because every single day is different. Some days, my lessons are great, and I have classes of students who are engaged in reading, writing and thinking. Some days, my lessons fall flat, and I realize that I need to start from scratch — even after 29 years.I stay because I love to see the children realize that they have learned something — whether it’s how to craft an argumentative thesis sentence or how to understand the effect of repetition in The Declaration of Independence. I love to see the children write well; I love the feeling of reading a well-argued essay, and I love smiling as I write a final “Awesome job!” on a paper on which a student has worked hard.I stay because what I’ve learned in 29 years is that I do have a “real” job — the most real job there is. It’s the one that leads to other jobs, that helps to create good thinkers who go on to beproductive in our society, and that supports our community as it grows and times change. My job is among the ones that matter most.4.The author became a teacher because he ____________.A. needed money to go to a law schoolB. loved dealing with childrenC. loved teaching very muchD. failed to get a “real” job5. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that the author _________.A. often pays no attention to his outfitB. is good at convincing his studentsC. enjoys his time with his studentsD. doesn’t read many classics6. According to Paragraph 4, the author continues to teach most probably because ________.A. teaching makes him feel he can make a difference to childrenB. teaching makes him realize every day is differentC. he can learn a lot of things from teachingD. he likes to be praised by his students7. What is the passage mainly about?A. What the author has learned as a teacher.B. What the author thinks of being a teacher.C. Wh y the author didn’t choose to become a lawyer.D. Why the author chooses to stay as a teacher.CA young woman sits alone in a café sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing caféw aiter: “Where are the toilets please?” This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafés”, where customers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.The concept rises by a desire to be alone among young Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers single women the opportunity to have a “one woman wedding” —a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression —“botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things completely on their own.One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly at the entrance of the cafe, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place viaTwitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it's always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it's a big busy city. I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the ide a of a quiet, calm atmosphere.”The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated 3.6 million “hikikomori” —a more extreme example of social recluses (隐士) who withdraw completely from society.8. What is special about the “silent cafes”?A. It provides various tea and books.B. People are not allowed to communicate.C. It has attracted many popular young people.D. It offers service by writing not by speaking.9. Which of the following accounts for the idea of being alone in Japan?A. The increasing social isolation.B. The stable economic situation.C. The rising demand for privacy.D. The rapid development of internet.10. What do we know about Higashikokubaru?A. She doesn’t like to be a nurse.B. She doesn’t like the life in big cities.C. She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place.D. She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.11. What is the best title of the passage?A. Silent cafesB. Lonely JapaneseC. One woman weddingD. Social recluses in JapanDA study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion (万亿) connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern"A-B-B". Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsiblefor speech was more active during the “A-B-B” pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar.“Position is key to language,” she says. “If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: ‘John caught the bear.’ is very different from ‘The bear caught John.’”Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones—no matter how educational—doesn’t appear to be enough for children’s brain development. They c onducted a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who’d watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies —regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio—learned nothing.12. What makes connections in a baby’s brain?A. Having a higher IQ.B. Experiencing new information.C. The baby’ early age.D. The connection with other babies.13. What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?A. Babies identify different sound patterns.B. Word order is relevant to meaning.C. Babies can well understand different words.D. A certain brain region processes language.14. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A. Grammar is important in learning languages.B. Different orders have different meanings.C. Different languages have different grammar.D. Words have different sounds.15. What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?A. Babies shouldn’t watch a lot of television.B. Listening to different languages develops babies’ brain.C. Foreign languages help babies’ brain develop.D. Social communication improves babies’ brain development.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项。

ABook InformationChildren's Day is coming. Here is some information about children's books in our bookshop.1.How much is All I Want for Christmas Is You?A.$17.99.B.$18.99.C.$20.99.D.$22.99.2.Who is the writer of A Bear's Year!A.Mariah Carey.B.Kathy Duval.C.Exupéry. S.D.Guo Jing.3.Which book is for the children of 11-14 years old?A.All I Want for Christmas Is You.B.A Bear's Year.C.The Little Prince.D.The Only Child.4.The above information is about____.A.Children's moviesB.Children's toysC.Children's shoesD.Children's booksBHonesty is the best policy. We may agree that admitting mistakes and behaving in a genuine way is the right way to lead our lives, but is there something in our human nature that makes us immoral? For example, in some shops and car parks you canfind an honesty box — a box where you pay for something by putting money in it — but it relies on you putting the right amount of cash in. This relies on people being honest and not trying to cheat but it does provide a temptation to get away with not paying the full amount.Philip Graves, a psychologist, suggests that this temptation is part of our evolution. He says, “We have evolved with t he ability to be dishonest. It’s part of our evolutionary psychological make-up because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving.”So why do we place such importance on being honest if we benefit from bei ng dishonest? It’s because it is selfish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place. As Philip Graves says,“There is a balance to strike between the extent to which we can feather our own nest, so to speak, and the risk of being ostracized (排斥) by the group.” So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and therefore we need to be honest.Being trustworthy with money is of course vital for an economy to survive. But being honest with words is another matter, saying what we think to someone can get us into hot water. However, a new anonymous messaging app has been designed that lets anyone with a link to your profile (简介) send you a message without knowing who it’s from. T he app now has 300 million users which perhaps indicates how honest we really like to be —but in all honesty, do you want to know what people think about you? Is honesty always the best policy?5.What does an honesty box require people to do?A.Get the change out of it freely.B.Put the correct amount of money in it.C.Donate the pocket money to others.D.Pay a larger amount of money.6.According to Philip Graves, being dishonest________.A.is a disadvantageB.should be advocatedC.is part of our evolutionD.helps people survive7.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.The reason for being honest.B.The benefit of being dishonest.C.The outcome of selfishness.D.The importance of group work.CAs a kid,I wanted to be a naturalist. When I got to college, I chose what I thought was a more practical path, studying physics along with public policy. That combination led me to atmospheric sciences. Now I'm studying low clouds.But I didn't really notice low clouds until I started my study at the University of Washington, in Seattle. That city had a lot of low clouds.I suddenly realized how important their reflection of heat back into space was for Earth's climate. I continued studying how clouds at the University of Colorado in Boulder. There I earned my PhD.Seattle's skies may be home to plenty of low clouds, but there are even better places to spot these little clouds. The greatest gatherings tend to occur off the coasts of places like Namibia, in Africa, and northern Chile. These places are home to some of Earth's driest deserts. And I like visiting such places.The more I learned about these little clouds, the more fascinating I found them. I'm really interested in the various ways these low clouds respond to their environment. Because there are so many low clouds and they help keep Earth cool byreflecting(反射) heat, anything that affects them can also affect overall climate. It feeds back to the whole energy balance of the planet.Lately I've been exploring how smoke that drifts(漂浮 )over clouds might change the way that these clouds absorb or reflect sunlight. Such smoke -from burning trees and grasses-can drift thousands of kilometers. If that smoke affects clouds, it might also affect climate. Last year, I spent a month on distant Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean setting up instruments to track the interaction(相互作⽤) between low clouds there and smoke from southern Africa.I appreciate the diversity in my work. Besides the occasional trip to distant islands, I also teach and work with other scientists to better understand Earth's climate system. Along the way, I'm helping bring one type of low clouds to the attention it deserves.8.What do we know about the author?A.She learned three majors at the same time in college.B.She wanted to study low clouds when she was a kidC.She knew the importance of low clouds when in universityD.She was always worried about climate change in the world9.Why does the author like visiting places like Namibia and Northern Chile?A.Because she enjoys views of deserts.B.Because she loves visiting beautiful coasts.C.Because she has got tired of Seattle's skies.D.Because they're great places for observing low clouds.10.What was the author's purpose in spending a month on Ascension Island?A.To study smoke' s effect on low cloudsB.To find the real causes of climate change.C.To set up instruments for other scientistsD.To study theinfluence of low clouds on climate.11.What does the underlined word"diversity "in the last paragraph mean?A.The fact of being very specialB.The fact of working by oneselfC.The fact of being respected by othersD.The fact ofincluding some different things.DDerek Rabelo is not the only surfer(冲浪⼿)to conquer Hawaii's famous pipeline big wave break ,but while all others use their sight to do it, this young professional surfer must rely only on his other senses. That's because he is completely blindWhen Derek was born over 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Ernesto dreamed that his son would share the talent(才⼲) of his uncle, a professional surfer. Unfortunately, Derek was born completely blind, but this didn't stop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard. He was always comfortable in the water and surfing was in his blood, but he didn't actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when hisfather bought him a surfboard. His father taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practising, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emesto's dream and become a professional surfer. So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru. Standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on Hawaii's board-breaking Pipeline is another. But that's exactly what Derek Rabelo set out to do just months after learning how to surf. Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning. Now 24, Rabelo has been surfing the Pipeline every winter since.12.What does the first paragraph tell us?A.Good eyesight is necessary for becoming good suffers.B.Nobody has ever conquered Hawaii's big wave break.C.Derek Rabelo dreams to conquer Hawaii's big wave break.D.Derek Rabelo is the only blind professional surfer to conquer Hawaii's big wave break.13.How did Ernesto behave after Derek was born?A.He never lost confidence in him.B.He named him after his uncle.C.He sent him to a surfing champion.D.He started his own interest in surfing.14.After Derek was able to stand up on the surfboard, what did he do?A.He began to try riding a waveB.He was no longer afraid of waterC.He realized he still had a long way to goD.He knew his father's dream had come true15.Which of the following words can best describe Derek according to the last paragraph?A.Skillful but proudB.Brave and confident.C.Courageous but stubborn.D.Thoughtful and modest.第⼆节（共5⼩题；每⼩题2分，满分10分）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。

The passage is most probably from a ______.A. newspaper advertisementB. book reviewC. scientific magazineD. news reportBCancer is feared by everyone. And there is more and more fear about cancer. Not the disease itself — there is no such thing as a high incidence rates of cancer. Except for lung cancer, mostly caused by cigarette smoking, the incidence rates are not on the rise. However, some kinds of cancer are decreasing. But the fear of cancer is catching, and the country stands at risk of an anxiety. The earth itself is coming to seem like a huge carcinogen(致癌物). The ordinary, more or less, scientific statement that something between 80 and 90 percent of all cancers are due to things in the environment is taken to mean that none of us will be safe until the whole environment is “cleaned up.” This is not at all the meaning.The 80-percent calculation is based on the unthinkable differences in the incidence of cancer in various societies around the world — for example, the high incidence of liver cancer in Africa and the Far East, stomach cancer in Japan, breast cancer in Western Europe and North America, and the relatively low figures for breast cancer in Japan and parts of Africa and for liver cancer in America. These data show there may be specific environmental influences, but largely based on personal life-style, which determines the incidence of various forms of cancer in different communities — that is all the data suggest. The overall incidence of cancer, counting up all the cases, is probable roughly the same everywhere.5. According to the passage, the incidence of cancer is generally believed _____.A. to be based on inactive life styleB. to be due to anxietyC. to result from environmental influencesD. to be caused by heavy smoking6.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Cancer and EnvironmentB. The Fear Caused by CancersC. Data on Cancer IncidenceD. Cancer and its InvestigationCHigh-quality customer service is preached（宣扬）by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store, but instead will warn their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen. Store managers are often the last to hear complaints. “Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the V erde group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered（塞满了的）shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude sales people.During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants to direct customers to empty parking spaces. Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store display, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, sales people should be skillful and polite with angry customers.“Retailers who’re enthusiastic and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly.” said Professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.9. Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?A. Most shoppers won’t complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.B. Shoppers would rather tell their unhappy experiences to people around them.C. Few customers believe the service will be improved after their complaints.D. It is difficult for customers to have easy access to store managers.10. What does Paula Courtney imply by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?A. New customers are sure to replace old ones.B. It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores.C. The same products can be bought in other retail stores.D. Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too.11. What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?A. Manners of the salespeople.B. Hiring of efficient employees.C. Huge supply of goods for sale.D. Design of the store display.12. To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to ______.A. put pressure on stores to improve their serviceB. settle their disagreements with stores in a friendly wayC. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directlyD. shop around and make comparisons between storesDYou hear the comment all the time: the U.S. economy looks good by figures, but it doesn’t feel good. Why doesn’t ever-greater wealth promote ever-greater happiness? It is a question that dates at least to the appearance in 1958 of The Wealthy Society by John Kenneth Galbraith, who died recently at 97.The Wealthy Society is a modern classic because it helped describe a new moment in the human condition. For most of history, “hunger, sickness, and cold” threatened nearly everyone, Galbraith wrote. “Poverty was found everywhere in that world. Obviously it is not of ours.” After World War II, the fear of another Great Depression gave way to an economic growth. In the 1930s unemployment had averaged 18.2 percent; in the 1950s it was 4.5 percent.To Galbraith, materials had gone mad and would cause discontent. Through advertising, companies conditioned consumers to buy things they didn’t really want or need. Because so much spending was artificial, it would be unsatisfying. Meanwhile, government spending that would make everyone better off was being cut down because people wrongly considered government only as “a necessary bad.”It’s often said that only the rich are getting ahead; everyone else is standing still or falling behind. Well, there are many undeserving rich — overpaid chief managers, for instance. But over any meaningful period, most people’s incomes are increasing. From 1995 to 2004, people feel “squeezed” because their rising incomes often don’t satisfy their rising wants — for bigger homes, more health care, more education, and faster Internet connections.The other great disappointment is that it has not got rid of insecurity. People regard job stability as part of their standard of living. As company unemployment increased, that part has gradually become weaker. More workers fear they’ve become “the disposable American,” as Louis Uchitelle puts it in his book by the same name.Because so much previous suffering and social conflict resulted from poverty, the arrival of widespread wealth suggested utopian (乌托邦式的) possibilities. Up to a point, wealth succeeds. There is much less physical suffering than before. People are better off. Unfortunately, wealth also creates new complaints.Advanced societies need economic growth to satisfy the multiplying wants of their citizens. But the search for growth cause new anxieties and economic conflicts that disturb the social order. Wealth sets free the individual, promising that everyone can choose a unique way to self-accomplishment. But the promise is so unreasonable that it leads to many disappointments and sometimes inspires choices that have anti-social consequences, including family breakdown. Figures indicate that happiness has not risen with incomes.Should we be surprised? Not really. We’ve simply confirmed an old truth: the seeking of wealth does not always end with happiness.13.The Wealthy Society is a book ________.A. about poverty in the pastB. written by Louis UchitelleC. indicating that people are becoming worse offD. about why happiness does not rise with wealth14.According to Galbraith, people feel discontented because ________.A. materialism has run wild in modern societyB. they are in fear of another Great DepressionC. public spending hasn’t been cut down as expectedD. the government has proved to be necessary but ugly15.What does Louis Uchitelle mean by “the disposable American” ?A. People with a stable job.B. Workers who no longer have secure jobs.C. Those who see job stability as part of their living standard.D. People who have a sense of security because of their rising incomes.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项。

第I卷（选择题共70分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)ACoronaviruses (冠状病毒)Coronaviruses(冠状病毒) are a large group of viruses. They consist of a core of genetic material（遗传物质）surrounded by an envelope with protein spikes(蛋白棘突). This gives it the appearance of a crown. Crown in Latin is called “corona” and that’s how these viruses get their name.In this text, we’ll take a quick look at what’s currently known about the virus.Covid-2019The 2019 Novel Coronavirus was first reported December in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, has quickly spread across the country and around the world. It initially occurred in a group of people with pneumonia(肺炎) who’d been associated with a seafood and live animal market in the city of Wuhan. Intermediate hosts: The 2019-nCoV may originate in bats, a team led by renowned Chinese virologist Shi Zhengli said earlier, while the intermediary host remains unknown.Incubation period(潜伏期): 1-14 days.Infection:Virus may spread before symptoms show.SARS-CoVThe Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus was first identified in China in 2003 . Intermediate hosts: Bats are the original host. Civet cats and cats serve as an important intermediary that carries virus from the winged mammal to humans.Incubation period: 2-7 days.Infection: Virus spread after symptoms show.MERS-CoVThe Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS中东呼吸综合征) coronavirus that was first identified in Saudi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯) in 2012.Intermediate hosts: Bats are the original host. MERS-CoV was travelled from dromedary camel to humans.Incubation period: 2-14 days.Infection: Virus may spread before symptoms show.1. What is the intermediate hosts of the Covid-2019?A. Bats.B. Civet cats.C. Camel.D.Unknown yet2. Which kinds of coronaviruses may spread before symptoms show?A. The Covid-2019B. SARS-CoVC. The Covid-2019 and MERS-CoVD. MERS-CoV3. What is the following statement is not true about coronaviruses ?A.The Covid-2019, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV are all included in coronaviruses.B.The animal reservoir of the Covid-2019 is bats.C.A mysterious pneumonia outbreak was first identified in China.D.But in both SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV cases, bats are the original host.BMary Wilkins Ellis was a volunteer pilot for Britain's Air Transport Auxiliary( ATA) during World War II.Mary Wilkins was born on Feb.2, 1917. When she was 8, her father bought her a ride in a plane. From there, she was hooked. As a teenager, she persuaded her father to pay for flying lessons, and she earned her pilot's license at 22 in 1939.In 1940，she heard an ad for volunteer pilots to help the war effort. She signed up and joined the ATA, whose task was to deliver planes from factory to base or from base to factory for repairs.At the height of World War II, 26-year-old Mary Wilkins climbed down a ladder from the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a bomber(轰炸机) at a Royal Air Force base in England.“Where's the pilot?" someone on the ground asked.“I am the pilot!" she responded. She had delivered the bomber alone—although built for a five-man crew—from its factory. People on the ground looked at her in surprise. One of them even decided to climb up the ladder to check the plane for the “missing” pilot.She was one of the “Atagirls", as they were nicknamed, who almost always flew without other crew members, compass or radio assistance. They guided themselves by using maps and following rives or railway lines. While they did not fly in combat(战斗), they faced the daily danger of attack by enemy planes. Mrs. Ellis was once shot at over Bournemouth, in southern England, by “friendly fire” from t he ground. Another time, she had a near-miss when landing in thick fog at the same time a combat Spitfire landed on the same runway from the opposite direction. That experience won her the nickname “the fog flyer" .In all, Mrs. Ellis flew more than 1,000 warplanes of 76 types—including 400 Spitfires—among more than 200 British airfields from 1942 to the end of the war in 1945.4. What does the underlined word “hooked” mean in the second paragraph?A. Touched.B. Addicted.C. Annoyed.D. Confused.5. Where did Mary Wilkins probably learn the ad for volunteer pilots?A. In a newspaper.B. In a magazine.C. On a poster.D. On the radio.6. Why did one person on the ground climb up the ladder?A. He didn't believe women could fly these planes.B. He was interested in what a bomber looked like.C. He couldn't wait to experience a ride in a bomber.D. He wanted to check if the plane was in good condition.7. What do we learn about “Atagirls”?A. They often flew in combat.B. They were often shot at by enemy.C. They often flew on their own.D. They guided themselves by radio when flying.C"What kind of rubbish are you?" This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has become a special "greeting" among people over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced stricttrash-sorting regulations（条例)that are required to follow and expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss （投放）it into specific public dustbins. They must do so at specified times, when monitors are present to ensure correct trash-tossing and to ask the nature of one's rubbish. Individuals who fail to follow the regulations face the possibility of fines and worse. They could be punished with fines of up to 200 yuan （$ 29）. For those who repeat to go against them, the government can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets.Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London's annual output, which is rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift（筛选）through the waste, picking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up.Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or harmful, the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules concerning food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bins, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. What they complain most is the short periods for dropping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out；no one wants to look bad.8.What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai?A. They are the first of their kind.B. They are tied to one's bank account.C. They have the highest fines.D. They're aided by monitors.9.Why has Shanghai introduced the trash-sorting regulations?A. T here are fewer and fewer trash pickers.B. I t aims to build a new recycling system.C. I t faces more and more serious garbage problems.D. P eople throw the rubbish here and there.10.What makes the residents upset most about the regulations?A. L imited time for tossing the trash.B. C onfusing distinction among the categories of trash.C. B eing fined due to improper behavior.D. B eing watched by monitors when throwing the garbage.11.What can be the best title for the text?A. A Good Way of Trash-sortingB. A New Era of Garbage ClassificationC. A Great Time in Dealing with LitterD. A n Effective Solution to Rubbish ProblemDFrom talking robots to driverless vehicles, technology has become so advanced that the previously impossible seems to occur on a daily basis. And yet—we still have no cure for the common cold.Why can't we stop the common cold? According to Peter Barlow, a scientist at Edinburgh Napier University, the main challenge lies in the many different types of cold viruses that belong to the rhinoviruses(鼻病毒). There are at least 160 types. They mutate(突变) so easily that they quickly become resistant to drugs, or learn to hide from our immune systems. In other words, a single cure isn't likely to work on every type of cold.However, researchers from Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco, have found a possible answer. They discovered a protein(蛋白质) that the viruses need. All the viruses were unable to replicate(复制) inside cells without a gene that produces a specific protein called SETD3.To identify the gene which produces the specific protein, researchers used a gene-editing technique to test all genes in the human genome (基因组). Namely, they randomly disabled a single gene in each of the cells, so that the cells lacked one or another of every gene in our genome. These genetically modified cells were then exposed to the rhinoviruses, which cause the common cold. The team then looked at which gene was missing in cells that continued to grow. As it turned out. the one that stood out was SETD3, which makes a protein of the same name.Carette said the plan is to find a drug which can temporarily disable the protein, instead of producing genetically modified humans. “We have identified a fantastic target that all rhinoviruses require and depend on. Take that away and the virus really has no chance," said Carette.12. Which does Peter Barlow think is a problem for fighting the common cold?A. The poor immunity of patients.B. The large variety of viruses.C. The lack of enough cures.D. The side effects of drugs.13. What do we know about the gene- editing study in Paragraph 4?A. All genetically modified cells survivedB. Some genes in our genome were ignoredC. It located the gene responsible for SETD3D. It exposed the harm of the rhinoviruses.14. How should we stay away from the common cold according to Carette?A. Apply gene-editing to human genesB. Avoid contacts with colds patientsC. Prevent cold viruses from mutatingD. Develop a drug to switch off SETD315. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Potential defense found for cold virusesB. Secrets behind the human genesC. Real causes of the common coldD.

ABeijing is the first city ever to hold both Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Now, let’s take a look at some of the most popular events in the Winter Olympic Games.Figure skatingFigure skating is one of the most popular sports at the Winter Olympics, where ice skaters, singly or in pairs, perform freestyle movements of jumps, spins, lifts, and footwork in a graceful manner. The figure skating competition is one of the fiercest at the Winter Olympics. To win the game, the skater can’t make any mistakes.CurlingCurling is one of the most unique sports at the Winter Olympics — a winter sport played by two teams of four players on a rectangular sheet of ice. The two teams take turns to slide large round flat stones towards a target. Members of each team use brooms to sweep the surface of the ice in the path of the stone to control its speed and direction.And while curling may be a “slow” sport, it’s still full of skill, suspense and excitement!SnowboardingSnowboarding is a popular winter sport that involves sliding downhill on snow with a snowboard firmly attached to a rider’s feet. The sport is said to have been inspired by surfing, skiing and skateboarding, as an alternative to alpine skiing (高山滑雪).While snowboarding is one of the newer events — first included at the 1998 Winter Olympics, it has become one of the most popular and exciting sports at the Winter Olympics.Ice hockeyIce hockey is a game between two teams who wear skates and compete on an ice rink (溜冰场). Each team usually has six players. The object is to push the puck (冰球) past a goal line and into a net guarded by a goalkeeper. Ice hockey is popular for its speed and frequent physical contact. Worldwide there are more than a million registered ice hockey players performing regularly in leagues.26.Figure skates ought to be ________.A. elegant and faultlessB. inspiring and excitingC. skillful and defensiveD. calm and fashionable27. Which of the winter sports mentioned above involves team work?A. Figure skating and Curling.B. Curling and Ice hockey.C. Snowboarding and Figure skating.D. Snowboarding and Ice hockey.28. What do we know about these winter sports from the passage?A. Snowboarding originated from skiing, surfing and shooting.B. Figure skating enjoys the greatest popularity.C. Over a million become ice hockey league members each year.D. The curling ice path is brushed to help the stone slide.BI fell in love with music from a young age and often sat down making a few songs of my own.What would life be like, I wondered, without a beautiful song? In 1992, I made two love songs to my darling wife and watched tears run down her face as I sang.“Sam,” she said earnestly, “Your songs should be heard by more people.”She got my ballads and started bothering various media people about me, her singing barber husband.Two radio stations took an interest and played the songs.After the programme was aired, I became known in our community as the Singing Barber.The biggest surprise, however, was still to come.I received a call from a music promoter who offered me a long-term recording contract.He explained that he would be investing a lot of money to market my songs.I needed to be wholly focused on selling my records all over Australia.But I hesitated.My friends all told me to go for it.And Mary also thought I should do.“Go, Sam.I’ll manage with the family...it’ll be OK.”I watched my daughter and son playing in the backyard.Soon they would both be in high schooland where would I be? I was so used to my family turning to me for love and support.If I were to start a singing career, I would not only miss them terribly, I’d also certainly miss out on watching them grow up.Signing this contract would put a huge gap between my family and meand I couldn’t bear it.My family was my life.So I refused the music promoter’s offer.I’m still making music. I'm rich in love and I have no regrets.29.When the author was offered the contract, most of his friends _______.A.envied himughed at himC.encouraged himD.didn’t believe him30.Why did the author give up the contract?A.Because his wife was strongly against it.B.Because the pay was not attractive enough.C.Because he wanted to care about his two kids.D.Because he didn’t want his family life damaged.31.According to the passage, we can infer that the author _______.ed to be a country singerB.preferred his present lifeC.went on the road to fameD.regretted giving up his contract32. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. One should know himself.B. Interest is the best teacher.C. Family should come first.D. Every dog has its day.CNearly two years after the COVID-19 outbreak, China has granted approval to its first antibody combination therapy for COVID-19 treatment, adding a tool to the world’s fight against the di sease.A team from Tsinghua University, along with the Shenzhen People’s Hospital,has accomplished the task in 20 months. It would usually take 10 years. “It can reduce the rate of hospitalization and death by 80 percent,” said Zhang Linqi, leader of the r esearch team.The new antibody drug is immediately effective after being used. Moreover, the therapy can protect people, especially those whose physical condition doesn’t allow vaccination (接种疫苗), from becoming infected(感染) by COVID-19 for around 9 to 12 months, said Zhang.How does it work? When a virus infects a cell, it relies on an important type of protein: the spike proteins (刺突蛋白) on its surface. The spike proteins serve as a key to unlocking a cell. If a virus cannot enter a cell, it will disappear immediately. The job of our antibodies is to block the virus from entering cells. So its target is very precise. In addition, thanks to the coordination between the two antibodies, it is highly efficient in preventing the virus, according to Zhang. The qualities of the new drug make it especially useful for high-risk groups, such as frontline medical workers and people not suitable for vaccination due to various underlying health problems.The new drug is expected to come to the market soon, but it’s not cheap. That’s because of limited production. Noting that China has used science and technology to fight COVID-19 since the beginning of the outbreak, Zhang said, “Science is the key to solving the issue. Science has shown its power in all sectors, from medical treatment, medicine and vaccine development to prevention and control measures.”33. What can we know about the new therapy according to paragraph 1 and paragraph 2?A. It’s the first way to treat COVID-19.B. It dramatically improves the survival rate of patients.C. It takes researchers 10 years to develop the new drug.D. It was developed by the team from one of China’s top universities.34. Which statement does the author probably agree with?A. Only medical workers can take this drug.B. Antibodies stop spike proteins entering a cell.C. The new drug takes effect after a period of use.D.The new drug can protect people from infection for life.35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. It is easy to produce the drug.B. The new drug has been put into use.C. Zhang thought highly of the power of science.D. China is the first country to use technology to fight disease.36. Where does the text probably come from?A. A textbook.B. An educational magazine.C. A medical journal.D. A tourist guide.DAs people get older, the types of friends they have tend to change. As young adults, humans have a lot of friends. With age, they often prefer to spend their time with just a few close, positive individuals. Researchers long believed that this change was unique to humans, but a new study finds that chimps(黑猩猩) also have similar tendencies.One explanation for the humans to get picky about social connections has to do with awareness oftheir limited lifetime. “People monitor how mu ch time they have left in their life and choose emotionally-fulfilling relationships in old age,”says one of the study’s lead authors Alexandra G. Rosati.As people age, they don’t want to be surrounded by a large group of negative friends, but would prefer to be near a handful of optimistic individuals.Rosati and her colleagues were curious whether chimps would show similar features even though they don’t seem to be aware of their upcoming death. Researchers used 78,000 hours of observations made over 20 years from the Kibale Chimpanzee Project in Uganda. The data looked at the social interactions of 21 male chimps between 15 and 58 years old. The researchers only studied male chimps because they show stronger social bonds and have more social interactions than female chimps.Researchers found that wild chimpanzees share a similar pattern.“They interact with others more positively ways as they get older. Younger adults, in contrast,show more aggression and were more likely to form one-sided relationships where their partner did not reciprocate.”says Rosati. For example, the older chimpanzees would sit close to their long-time companions and groom(梳理毛发) each other, while younger chimps had more one-sided relationships where they would groom a friend, but the action wasn’t returned. The study was published in the journal Science.This aging pattern may be the result of shared changes in our abilities to manage our emotions with age,”Rosati says.“This shared pattern between chimpanzees and humans could represent an adaptive response where older adults focus on important social relationships that provide benefits and avoid interactions that have negative consequences as they lose competitive fighting ability.”37.Why do humans change their preference for friends in old age?A.They don’t like making new friends.B.Their friends pass away one by one.C.They adapt to the changes in nature.D.They know their life is running out.38. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. How the study was carried out.B. How scientists proved their assumption.C. How hard it was to observe the chimps.D. Why male chimps are unaware of upcoming death.39.What does the underlined word“reciprocate”in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Repay their kindness.B. Take care of them.C. Get along well with them.D. Sit close to them.40.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.People Prefer Positive Partners in Old AgeB.Positive Bonds Benefit Chimps in Many WaysC.Aging Chimps like Us Get Picky About FriendsD. Chimps Share Similar Tendencies with Humans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项。

成都外国语学校18-19下期高二英语3月考试（EIM Unit 3, B6 Unit2）I.阅读理解：（2’）Even plant can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide （杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest （害虫）problems.Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3, 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long - term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson , who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.1. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are _____________.A. sprayed with pesticidesB. facing an infrared scannerC. in poor physical conditionD. exposed to excessive sun rays2. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to____________.A. estimate the damage to the cropsB. measure the size of the affected areaC. draw a color-coded mapD. locate the problem area3. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by______________.A. resorting to spot-sprayingB. consulting infrared scanning expertsC. transforming poisoned rainD. detecting crop problems at an early stage4. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties _______________.A. the lack of official supportB. its high costC. the lack of financial supportD. its failure to help increase production5. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of_____________.A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceB. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on cropsC. the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureD. full support from agricultural expertsII.完型填空（1.5’）When 12 girls from San Fernando High School in California received a grant (经费) to develop an invention to solve a real-world problem, they decided to create a solar-powered shelter to help the homeless.For over a year, the girls have been using all their free time to complete the ___1___“They have this amazing internal (内心的) 2 that I’ve never seen in any individual,”Violet Mardirosian, a teacher at San Fernando High who is 3 with the team on the project, told The Huffington Post. “I thought 4___ that maybe some of them would give up, say ‘I didn’t 5 _ this much work,’but they haven’t.

AThere are many weird sports that are present from around the world. From each region of the world, along with the very popular common sports, there are also those really popular but very weird kinds of sports.The Ultimate Test between Man and Horse:This indeed a very strange kind of sport that tests your stamina. You will learn how to be agiler while competing against a horse. This game originated in Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells. This sport really has to do with strength. You will require great agility and strength in order to take part in this. Marathon human contestants are put to test against those mounted on horses. This is how the marathon testing takes place.Love Locked RaceThis is a sports event that was first introduced in Finland. This is all about a male competitor racing with a female in a certain way. There would be many obstructions and blocks on the way which would definitely bring you challenges.

This race takes place really fast and the obstacles are set that way.Toe sportThis is yet another weird sport that welcomes you to use your toes. This is quite the same kind of sport that you used to play as a child which involved toe wrestling. This has now been turned into a major sport that even has a World Toe Wrestling Competition. It first originated in a pub of Derbyshire.The locals took this sport with great enjoyment and then made this so popular that it soon had its own championship. The individuals who participate have only got to use their feet in locks but then this is tougher than it may sound.The Mud Pit Belly FlopThis is a kind of game where even the spectators get splashed in mud but in fact that is quite the fun. The very annual Summer Redneck Games in East Dublin brings about this game and brings about some of the greatest hubcap discus throws with it.

ABook InformationChildren's Day is coming. Here is some information about children's books in our bookshop.1.How much is All I Want for Christmas Is You?A.$17.99.B.$18.99.C.$20.99.D.$22.99.2.Who is the writer of A Bear's Year!A.Mariah Carey.B.Kathy Duval.C.Exupéry. S.D.Guo Jing.3.Which book is for the children of 11-14 years old?A.All I Want for Christmas Is You.B.A Bear's Year.C.The Little Prince.D.The Only Child.4.The above information is about____.A.Children's moviesB.Children's toysC.Children's shoesD.Children's booksBHonesty is the best policy. We may agree that admitting mistakes and behaving in a genuine way is the right way to lead our lives, but is there something in our human nature that makes us immoral? For example, in some shops and car parks you can find an honesty box — a box where you pay for something by putting money in it —but it relies on you putting the right amount of cash in. This relies on people being honest and not trying to cheat but it does provide a temptation to get away with not paying the full amount.Philip Graves, a psychologist, suggests that this temptation is part of our evolution. He says, “We have evolved with the ability to be dishonest. It’s part of our evolutionary psychological make-up because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving.”So why do we place such importance on being honest if we benefit from being dishon est? It’s because it is selfish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place. As Philip Graves says, “There is a balance to strike between the extent to which we can feather our own nest, so to speak, and the risk of being ostracized (排斥) by the group.” So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and therefore we need to be honest.Being trustworthy with money is of course vital for an economy to survive. But being honest with words is another matter, saying what we think to someone can get us into hot water. However, a new anonymous messaging app has been designed that lets anyone with a link to your profile (简介) send you a message without knowing who it’s from. The app now has 300 million users which perhaps indicates how honest we really like to be — but in all honesty, do you want to know what people think about you? Is honesty always the best policy?5.What does an honesty box require people to do?A.Get the change out of it freely.B.Put the correct amount of money in it.C.Donate the pocket money to others.D.Pay a larger amount of money.6.According to Philip Graves, being dishonest________.A.is a disadvantageB.should be advocatedC.is part of our evolutionD.helps people survive7.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.The reason for being honest.B.The benefit of being dishonest.C.The outcome of selfishness.D.The importance of group work.CAs a kid,I wanted to be a naturalist. When I got to college, I chose what I thought was a more practical path, studying physics along with public policy. That combination led me to atmospheric sciences. Now I'm studying low clouds.But I didn't really notice low clouds until I started my study at the University of Washington, in Seattle. That city had a lot of low clouds. I suddenly realizedhow important their reflection of heat back into space was for Earth's climate. I continued studying how clouds at the University of Colorado in Boulder. There I earned my PhD.Seattle's skies may be home to plenty of low clouds, but there are even better places to spot these little clouds. The greatest gatherings tend to occur off the coasts of places like Namibia, in Africa, and northern Chile. These places are home to some of Earth's driest deserts. And I like visiting such places.The more I learned about these little clouds, the more fascinating I found them. I'm really interested in the various ways these low clouds respond to their environment. Because there are so many low clouds and they help keep Earth cool by reflecting(反射) heat, anything that affects them can also affect overall climate. It feeds back to the whole energy balance of the planet.Lately I've been exploring how smoke that drifts(漂浮 )over clouds might change the way that these clouds absorb or reflect sunlight. Such smoke -from burning trees and grasses-can drift thousands of kilometers. If that smoke affects clouds, it might also affect climate. Last year, I spent a month on distant Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean setting up instruments to track the interaction(相互作用) between low clouds there and smoke from southern Africa.I appreciate the diversity in my work. Besides the occasional trip to distant islands, I also teach and work with other scientists to better understand Earth's climate system. Along the way, I'm helping bring one type of low clouds to the attention it deserves.8.What do we know about the author?A.She learned three majors at the same time in college.B.She wanted to study low clouds when she was a kidC.She knew the importance of low clouds when in universityD.She was always worried about climate change in the world9.Why does the author like visiting places like Namibia and Northern Chile?A.Because she enjoys views of deserts.B.Because she loves visiting beautiful coasts.C.Because she has got tired of Seattle's skies.D.Because they're great places for observing low clouds.10.What was the author's purpose in spending a month on Ascension Island?A.To study smoke' s effect on low cloudsB.To find the real causes of climate change.C.To set up instruments for other scientistsD.To study theinfluence of low clouds on climate.11.What does the underlined word"diversity "in the last paragraph mean?A.The fact of being very specialB.The fact of working by oneselfC.The fact of being respected by othersD.The fact of including some different things.DDerek Rabelo is not the only surfer(冲浪手)to conquer Hawaii's famous pipeline big wave break ,but while all others use their sight to do it, this young professional surfer must rely only on his other senses. That's because he is completely blind When Derek was born over 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Ernesto dreamed that his son would share the talent(才干) of his uncle, a professional surfer. Unfortunately, Derek was born completely blind, but this didn't stop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard. He was always comfortable in the water and surfing was in his blood, but he didn't actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father bought him a surfboard. His father taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practising, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emesto's dream and become a professional surfer. So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.Standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on Hawaii's board-breaking Pipeline is another. Butthat's exactly what Derek Rabelo set out to do just months after learning how to surf. Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning. Now 24, Rabelo has been surfing the Pipeline every winter since.12.What does the first paragraph tell us?A.Good eyesight is necessary for becoming good suffers.B.Nobody has ever conquered Hawaii's big wave break.C.Derek Rabelo dreams to conquer Hawaii's big wave break.D.Derek Rabelo is the only blind professional surfer to conquer Hawaii's big wave break.13.How did Ernesto behave after Derek was born?A.He never lost confidence in him.B.He named him after his uncle.C.He sent him to a surfing champion.D.He started his own interest in surfing.14.After Derek was able to stand up on the surfboard, what did he do?A.He began to try riding a waveB.He was no longer afraid of waterC.He realized he still had a long way to goD.He knew his father's dream had come true15.Which of the following words can best describe Derek according to the last paragraph?A.Skillful but proudB.Brave and confident.C.Courageous but stubborn.D.Thoughtful and modest.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。
