So my daughter made up a sign that read “Low on gas. Can you help?” and held it outside her window in the hope that a driver in the next lane would notice it and stop.There weren’t too many vehicles passing us either at the time. It was a lonely stretch of road and about 3:30 pm on a weekday. An elderly gentleman was driving along happily in the neighbouring lane ahead of us. We caught up with it in the hope that the driver would notice the sign. He did notice it and slowed down to pull over. We pulled over right behind him.He was friendly and was eager to help. At first, he thought we didn’t have enough money to buy gas, so he offered to buy us gas at the next town Roswell that was about 10 miles away!When we explained our predicament of not having enough gas to get to Roswell, he said his farm was about 10 minutes away and they had a gas pump there, so if we could give him 20 minutes, he would head back there, get a can of gas and fill up our tank for us.We could not believe our good fortune! There not being any cell phone reception for either of us in the area, we had just hoped that whoever stopped to help would be kind enough to call AAA when they got to Roswell and we would just wait it out for them to help us.We were filled with gratefulness for the kindness of strangers such as this person as we waited for him to return. Sure enough, he was back with the can and quickly filled our tank. He refused to take any payment for the gas. Tears flowed, as did our endless appreciation.From the text we know _____.the street was crowded with carsthe gas of the author’s car had run outsomething was wrong with the carthere was no signal for the mobile phoneWhat does the underlined word “predicament” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?instruction B. assistance C. trouble D. courageWhich of the following best describes the old man?Warm-hearted and generousHonest and hard-workingKind and productiveEnthusiastic and seriousB Pycnandra acuminata (喜树) is a rare tree native to New Caledonia that has the rare ability to collect heavy metals like nickel (镍) from the ground. The liquid circulated in its body is blue-green and reportedly contains up to 25% nickel.In general, tree and heavy metals like nickel don’t really go well together, and that’s what makes Pycnandra acuminata so special. It sucks out normally poisonous levels of heavy metals from the soil and stores them in its trunk, leaves and seeds.The evolution of Pycnandra acuminata is believed to have occurred over millions of years, but scientists have yet to identify a universal principle of nickel intake and storage. The reason why such trees have formed the way of absorbing metals is also open to debate.The most popular theory states that the concentration of nickel protects such trees from leaf-chewing insects. And studies have shown that nickel accumulated by these trees indeed harms many insects though some have developed a high tolerance to it. Another theory says nickel has the effect of resisting bacteria, which protects the trees from various diseases. However, these theories are all just theories.One thing that has been proven is the ability of Pycnandra acuminata to clean the soil with poisonous materials caused by human activity. There’s also clear potential for collecting heavy materials like nickel in these kinds of soils that will bring a few profits by conventional ways of mining. People can collect minerals contained in such soils from the blue-green trees.Unfortunately, Pycnandra acuminata is recently in a bad situation. Human activity in forests of New Caledonia has made Pycnandra acuminata in danger. Consequently, probably fewer than several hundred trees of this kind have remained as a result of the reduction of our forests.What do we know about Pycnandra acuminata?It is able to collect some heavy metals from the ground.It tends to grow in the soil with plenty of poisonous water.It has a blue-green color due to metals collected.It sucks out a great deal of poisonous underground water.What do the theories in Paragraph 4 say about Pycnandra acuminata?It affects all insects and bacteria.It might be harmful to the environment around it.It helps to clean the soil with poisonous materials.It has evolved in this way to protect itself from insects and diseases.In which section of magazine is this text most likely to appear?Health and environment. B. Man and nature.C. Technology and life. D. Bacteria and disease.CLegendary comic book writer Stan Lee has died at the age of 95, according to media reports on Monday.Lee, born Stanley Martin Lieber on Dec. 28, 1922, began his career in 1939 and joined the Marvel Comics in 1961.He is considered as one of the most legendary names in the history of comic books and the leading creative force behind the rise of Marvel Comics. He co-created iconic fictional characters such as Spider-man, X-Men, the Avengers, and many more.Lee’s characters often have super powers, but they also have weaknesses. They were humans, not gods. They not only struggled to save the world, but also to pay their bills, make friends, and hold jobs. This made Marvel comic book heroes stand apart from its competitor DC, which produced the seemingly perfect heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman. Those superheroes have been adapted into blockbuster films, most of which were made after Disney acquired Marvel in a 4-billion-dollar deal in 2009.In a statement, Bob Iger, chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company said Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created.Marvel also praised Lee on its website by putting on one of Lee’s famous quotes, which goes, “I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s lives. Without it, they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain, you’re doing a good thing.”Praise from his Hollywood peers and colleagues was generous. President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige appreciated Lee’s unparalleled impact on the industry. “No one has had more of an impact on my career than Stan Lee,” Feige said, “Our thoughts are with his family and the millions of fans who have been forever touched by Stan’s genius, charisma and heart.”How do Lee’s characters differ from those of DC?They are perfect heroes.They have human shortcomings.They often have super powers.They are not humans, but gods.What can we learn from Lee’s statement in Paragraph 6?It is embarrassing to be a comic-book writer.Entertainment is the most important thing in the world.You can do everything well if you are able to entertain.Life without entertainment might drive people crazy.What does the underlined word “unparalleled” in the last paragraph probably mean?unimportant B. unnecessary C. unbelievable D. unequalledWhat can be the best title for the passage?Comic Legend—Marvel Comics and DCStan Lee—Father of SuperheroesMarvel’s Comics Legend Stan Lee Dies at 95The Life Story of Marvel Comics Legend Stan Lee第二节：任务型阅读（每题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Research shows that playful teasing between parents and their children can be a way to strengthen relationships, bring up difficult topics, and just have fun. ___31___ Carol Bishop says, “You need to recognize if they are enjoying it.” There are also rules about what is okay and not okay to tease your children about. ___32___ Instead, tease kids about safe topics, like a messy room, or things that can be easily changed.Teasing should also be a two-way street. __33__ If they go too far making fun of you, be sure not to blow up. Instead, help them to learn boundaries and what may hurt others.Teasing about a disappointing grade should only be used as a gentle reminder to study or do homework. It shouldn’t be focused on the ability because that could make the situation worse. It’s not wrong to say to your children, “I’m disappointed that you got a C.” ___34___ You need to examine if there is a learning disability or maybe they are depressed or being bullied.From monsters under the bed to darkness and loud noises, fears that may seem silly to an adult may be very real to a child. ___35___ In fact, it could make him worse. Teasing the child who is frightened about something is not a way for him to expand his horizon—you need to make him feel secure.But then you must work with them to figure out the cause.Topics like appearance and weight are prohibited.Kids often feel hurt when teased by others.You have to be willing to let your children tease you about things.Laughing or teasing won’t help him overcome his fears.But parents need to recognize when teasing becomes hurtful.Teasing a child about sports performance can cause a child to quit the sport.三．完型填空（每题1.5分，共30分）My mother spent her childhood with her father on their farm in the US.
