阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
At the beginning of my 8:00 a.m. class one Monday at UNLV(拉斯维加斯内华达大学), I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been very good. The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day,” I said to the young man. “I choose to be cheerful.”
“Let me give you an example,” I continued. “In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson. One day a few weeks ago I drove to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.”
“As soon as I got there, the secretary in the Provost’s office asked me what had happened. ‘ This is my lucky day’, I replied, smiling.”
“Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?” She was puzzled, “What do you mean?”
“I live seventeen miles from here. I replied. My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class. And I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.”
21. If you want to be cheerful you should .
A. Try to succeed in doing everything
B. choose to be cheerful every day
C. earn a lot of money by working
D. try to please your boss every day
22. The underlined phrase “turn over” in the third paragraph means “ ”.
A. roll over B. stopped suddenly
C. work normally D. move around
23. According to this passage we can infer that the teacher’s car broke down .
A. near UNLV B. along the highway
C. near Henderson D. near the community college
B
Passenger pigeons(旅鸽) were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s.It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons—groups that made a sound like a storm.But today,they are extinct because of human behavior.Now,some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas.They call this process de-extinction.
De-extinction has not happened yet.It is still just an idea.The process of de-extinction is not easy.First,scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals.Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animal species.When these animals become adults,they will have babies.And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.
Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals.However,not everyone thinks this is a good idea.
Stuart Primm is the world’s leading expert on modern animal extinction.He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth.On the one hand,these animals no longer have a safe place to live.On the other hand,they could cause other animals to die.
Many other scientists do not agree with Stuart Primm.Stuart Brand,a writer and scientist,is one of them.He believes de-extinction is good for many reasons.
“The current generation (当代) of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime.It may be part of what defines their generation and their attitude to the natural world.They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons,and maybe even dodo birds.This will provide a good deal of money for zoos busy with extinct species restoration (恢复).Humans killed off a lot of species over the last 10,000 years.So,it’s right to bring some back to life,” he said.
24.In the 19th century,passenger pigeons .
A.were common sightings
B.suffered a lot from storms
C.lived mainly in North America
D.were the largest in American history
25.What do we know about de-extinction?
A.It will change the DNA of the extinct animals.
B.It was first used in passenger pigeons.
C.It is difficult to carry out.
D.It proved to be useful.
26.Why is Stuart Primm against bringing back extinct animals?
A.They will die very soon.
B.They will create other problems.
C.They will do great harm to humans.
D.They will replace the similar species.
27.How does Stuart Brand feel about de-extinction?
A.Wrong. B.Difficult.
C.Important. D.Wasteful.

When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr Lee. I knew I could see Mr Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable. "You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak，because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. "That sentence sounded simple but it made me become who I am.
At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the cafe and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no matter how humble(卑微的) they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.
I've become vice-president, but that hasn't changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.
28.What is the best title for this passage?
A.The Power of Being Talkative
B.My Mother's Influence on Me
C.The Power of Saying Hello
D.My Way to Become Vice-president
29.What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A.The writer didn't say hello to everyone in the company.
B.The writer made a very good impression on the president of the company.
C.The president of the company thought the writer was much better than him.
D.The president of the company actually didn't like the writer at all.
30. For the writer, saying hello to others ____.
A.is a way to get what he wants
B.has become a habit and a way of life
C.is a way to show respect for his mother
D.is important in making him remembered
31. According to Paragraph 3, in the writer's opinion, speaking to others can ____.
A.make our world much better
B.make people much happier every day
C.help people understand each other better
D.help people work much better
D
In this country we're blessed with All 4, which gives us unlimited access to the shows from all Channel 4 TV channels. I love its free-to-air video-on-demand service. It is really a joy：I'm currently puzzling my way through a very dark Croatian spy series called Guardian of the Castle. I really love watching it.
The only downside（缺点） of All 4 is that the film or the show stops every 15 or so minutes and some ads appear. And here’s the thing: you cannot fast-forward them! It's incredibly annoying.
As a kid, I used to like watching ads on TV; I think I even started recording them. I remember asking my confused parents if they used a particular oven cleaner, which was called something like the oven pad. It was because in the ad there was a nice cartoon face on the oven cleaner. I fell out of love with ads after an art lesson in middle school. My art teacher, Mr. Courts, said something about them just being a way of getting us to buy things we didn’t really want or need. He had a point. I never felt the same way about them again.
Now, it is very painful for me to watch them in the middle of an exciting Croatian spy series. During the three ad breaks, I forced myself to sit through the other night. There was a Lloyds Bank ad featuring a black horse racing alongside delighted people to the sound of a Carpenters track. It made me want to tie my TV to the tail of a galloping(飞驰的) horse, so I could never watch anything of the sort ever again. However, on the other hand, I know that All 4 offers free service just because it makes profits from ads. As a big fan of All 4, I have to get rid of my dissatisfaction and tolerate its downside since it really offers me films and shows I like.
32.What can we know about All 4 from the first two paragraphs?
A. Its programs aren't very appealing.
B. Its users are charged much for the service.
C. Its shows cannot be fast-forwarded.
D.Its users are forced to watch ads.
33. What did the author think of ads when he was a kid?
A.He found them interesting. B. He thought them quite silly.
C. He regarded them as confusing. D.He considered them misleading.
34. What served as a turning point in the author’s attitude toward ads?
A.His improvement in cartoon drawing.
B. His parents’ purchasing an oven cleaner.
C. His recording the oven cleaner advertisement.
D. His art teacher’s negative comment on ads.
35. What lesson can we get after reading the text?
A. Every coin has two sides.
B. All rivers run into sea.
C. Earn your bread with your sweat.
D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

Travelling feels good. Seeing new places and gaining new experiences make us feel happy. 36 You must have taken a trip away and come back with new ideas in life. Why is this? When you’re travelling, a chemical called dopamine is produced in your brain. Dopamine causes feelings of relaxation, which in turn encourages creativity.
However, not many of us can afford the time or money required to travel often. 37 With these changes, you can get the travelling feeling even when you’re in your hometown.
Stimulate (刺激) your five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch). To achieve this, you can try out any new restaurant that opens near you or cook at least one new dish every week. 38 Even if you have walked around your local area thousands of times before, there will be a few back roads you’ve never explored before.
39 This will cause the creative feeling that comes with travelling. Sign up for an evening course or learn an instrument. Along with the intellectual (智力的) stimulation of the new activity, you’ll also get to meet new people, who in themselves can provide you with new ways of looking at the world.
Remember that travelling isn’t just about your physical position. 40 Follow the above tips and you can get that travelling feeling every day.
A. Try to learn a new skill.
B. It’s also a state of mind.
C. Go out of your way to experience new sights.
D. Actually you should learn to appreciate them.
E. Luckily, you can make some changes to your daily life.
F. Travelling also makes us come up with new ideas more easily.
G. When we get something new, we quickly get used to owning them.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was late afternoon on Basse-Terre Island in the French West Indies. A few hours before sunset, Christina and I decided to hike to Acomat Falls, about half a mile into the rainforested mountains near Guadeloupe National Park.
Heavy rain began to fall as we arrived at the trailhead, so we decided to wait for five minutes. Sure enough, it stopped and we set off down the muddy path. Expecting to spend no more than an hour at the falls, we wore T-shirts and swimsuits. I carried my phone and camera. We were visiting a well-known spot, so I hadn't told anyone where we were going except Mae, our vacation rental host.
We hiked for 15 minutes through mud and roots. After crossing a 10-foot-wide river and walking upstream about 100 yards, we finally reached the falls. It was around 4 p. m. and only one other couple was there. We dove into the green pool and floated on our backs, looking up at the canyon（周围有悬崖峭壁的峡谷） walls.
By 4: 30, the other couple had left. We knew we needed to leave, but I was waist-deep in the river trying to photograph the falls. Christina was sitting on a rock. I finally got a good shot-and then she shouted.
With a crack like thunder, a wall of brown water rushed over the top of the falls, carrying fragments of trees and plants with it. "Flash flood!" I jumped out of the river immediately and Christina scrambled（爬） barefoot off the rock toward higher ground. We clawed our way up the canyon on all fours. After climbing about 200 feet, we stopped to catch our breath. I looked over my shoulder and saw that the water had risen by about 20 feet. Now we had a different problem: Our car were on the other side of the swollen river. We were stuck.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Exhausted from the scramble, we started to try the phone.
Paragraph 2:
After about ten hours of desperate waiting in the dark, we saw lights across the canyon.

They telephoned our offices as customers normally would.Now,I’ll begin with what they found out.First of all,they found out that on average we answer the phone after four rings,which isn’t bad,but we can still improve on it.Secondly,friendliness.Now,although some offices scored as high as 8 out of 10 for friendliness,the people only gave the company as a whole 6 out of 10.On this point,they suggested that we use some good phrases on the phone.I think we can choose some new hold music as well.And finally,efficiency.Now here,we did quite well.However,there were one or two bad points which we still have to work on,such as always remembering to ask the caller’s name.So,we need to do a lot of work.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
21.B 细节理解题。根据第二段“Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day,” I said to the young man. “I choose to be cheerful.””（每天早上当你起床时，你都可以选择如何对待那天的生活，”我对年轻人说。“我选择快乐。”）由此可知，如果你想要快乐，你应该选择每一天都快乐。故选B项。
22.C 词句猜测题。根据第三段“ I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.”（我试图重新发动它，但引擎就是不turn over。所以我打开双闪灯，抓起书，沿着路向学校走去。）由此可知，引擎不能正常工作了，使得作者只能走路去学校。故选C项。
23.D 推理判断题。根据第三段“In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson ”（“除了在UNLV教书外，我还在亨德森的社区大学教书）以及根据最后一段“Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach myclass, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.”（相反，它在一个完美的地方抛锚:远离高速公路，离这里很近。我还能上课，我还能安排拖车下课后来接我。）由此我们可以推断那位教师的汽车抛锚的地点是在社区大学附近。故选D项。
B
24.A
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Passenger pigeons were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s.It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons—groups that made a sound like a storm.”可知,19世纪时的旅鸽数目众多。

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The process of de-extinction is not easy.”以及接下来具体介绍灭绝物种复活的复杂过程可知,复活灭绝物种绝非易事。
26.B
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth...these animals no longer have a safe place to live.”和“they could cause other animals to die”可知,Stuart Primm反对复活灭绝物种是因为他认为这些复活的动物会造成一些新的问题。
27.C
观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中的“He believes de-extinction is good for many reasons”以及Stuart Brand在最后一段具体陈述复活灭绝物种的好处可知,他认为复活灭绝物种很重要。
C
28.C 考查主旨大意。根据最后一段的“ you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello. ”你会意识到张开嘴打招呼是多么强大。可知本文一直强调和别人打招呼的影响。故选C。
29.B 考查推理判断。第二段介绍作者在工作之后，经常和公司的总裁说“Hello”，询问工作，并且作者和公司里所有人的关系都很好，公司的总裁对作者印象很好。故选B。
30.B 考查推理判断。根据文章第二、三段可知，作者总是和任何人都打招呼，即使后来当自己成为公司的副总裁时，作者也没有改变自己为人处事的方式，这已经变成了一个习惯，一种生活方式。故选B。
31.C 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too.”可知，通过和别人交流可以走进别人的心里，同时也会让别人走进自己的心里。言外之意就是和别人交流可以使人们更好地互相了解。故选C。

said something about them just being way...可知，美术老师对广告的负面评价使作者对广告的态度发生了改变，故选D项。

【参考范文】
Exhausted from the scramble, we started to try the phone. However, there was no service. Then Christina suggested moving toward higher ground to get a better signal. For a moment, the phone connected, and I heard the voice of Mae. She said she'd call for help. Then the phone went silent. Not knowing whether rescuers could reach us, we sheltered under some trees and told each other not to panic. There was nothing we could do but wait. As it became colder and colder in the night, we had to gather close together for warmth.
After about ten hours of desperate waiting in the dark, we saw lights across the canyon. Someone must be searching for us! But it was so dark that it was really difficult to find us across the river. So we shouted as loudly as we could and finally got noticed. Then I heard the noise of a helicopter. In minutes, a cable appeared and then a rescue. We were safe.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
At the beginning of my 8:00 a.m. class one Monday at UNLV(拉斯维加斯内华达大学), I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been very good. The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day,” I said to the young man. “I choose to be cheerful.”
“Let me give you an example,” I continued. “In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson. One day a few weeks ago I drove to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.”
“As soon as I got there, the secretary in the Provost’s office asked me what had happened. ‘ This is my lucky day’, I replied, smiling.”
“Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?” She was puzzled, “What do you mean?”
“I live seventeen miles from here. I replied. My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class. And I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.”
21. If you want to be cheerful you should .
A. Try to succeed in doing everything
B. choose to be cheerful every day
C. earn a lot of money by working
D. try to please your boss every day
22. The underlined phrase “turn over” in the third paragraph means “ ”.
A. roll over B. stopped suddenly
C. work normally D. move around
23. According to this passage we can infer that the teacher’s car broke down .
A. near UNLV B. along the highway
C. near Henderson D. near the community college

Passenger pigeons(旅鸽) were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s.It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons—groups that made a sound like a storm.But today,they are extinct because of human behavior.Now,some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas.They call this process de-extinction.
De-extinction has not happened yet.It is still just an idea.The process of de-extinction is not easy.First,scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals.Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animal species.When these animals become adults,they will have babies.And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.
Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals.However,not everyone thinks this is a good idea.
Stuart Primm is the world’s leading expert on modern animal extinction.He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth.On the one hand,these animals no longer have a safe place to live.On the other hand,they could cause other animals to die.
Many other scientists do not agree with Stuart Primm.Stuart Brand,a writer and scientist,is one of them.He believes de-extinction is good for many reasons.
“The current generation (当代) of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime.It may be part of what defines their generation and their attitude to the natural world.They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons,and maybe even dodo birds.This will provide a good deal of money for zoos busy with extinct species restoration (恢复).Humans killed off a lot of species over the last 10,000 years.So,it’s right to bring some back to life,” he said.
24.In the 19th century,passenger pigeons .
A.were common sightings
B.suffered a lot from storms
C.lived mainly in North America
D.were the largest in American history
25.What do we know about de-extinction?
A.It will change the DNA of the extinct animals.
B.It was first used in passenger pigeons.
C.It is difficult to carry out.
D.It proved to be useful.
26.Why is Stuart Primm against bringing back extinct animals?
A.They will die very soon.
B.They will create other problems.
C.They will do great harm to humans.
D.They will replace the similar species.
27.How does Stuart Brand feel about de-extinction?
A.Wrong. B.Difficult.
C.Important. D.Wasteful.

When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr Lee. I knew I could see Mr Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable. "You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak，because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. "That sentence sounded simple but it made me become who I am.
At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the cafe and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no matter how humble(卑微的) they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.
I've become vice-president, but that hasn't changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.
28.What is the best title for this passage?
A.The Power of Being Talkative
B.My Mother's Influence on Me
C.The Power of Saying Hello
D.My Way to Become Vice-president
29.What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A.The writer didn't say hello to everyone in the company.
B.The writer made a very good impression on the president of the company.
C.The president of the company thought the writer was much better than him.
D.The president of the company actually didn't like the writer at all.
30. For the writer, saying hello to others ____.
A.is a way to get what he wants
B.has become a habit and a way of life
C.is a way to show respect for his mother
D.is important in making him remembered
31. According to Paragraph 3, in the writer's opinion, speaking to others can ____.
A.make our world much better
B.make people much happier every day
C.help people understand each other better
D.help people work much better
D
In this country we're blessed with All 4, which gives us unlimited access to the shows from all Channel 4 TV channels. I love its free-to-air video-on-demand service. It is really a joy：I'm currently puzzling my way through a very dark Croatian spy series called Guardian of the Castle. I really love watching it.
The only downside（缺点） of All 4 is that the film or the show stops every 15 or so minutes and some ads appear. And here’s the thing: you cannot fast-forward them! It's incredibly annoying.
As a kid, I used to like watching ads on TV; I think I even started recording them. I remember asking my confused parents if they used a particular oven cleaner, which was called something like the oven pad. It was because in the ad there was a nice cartoon face on the oven cleaner. I fell out of love with ads after an art lesson in middle school. My art teacher, Mr. Courts, said something about them just being a way of getting us to buy things we didn’t really want or need. He had a point. I never felt the same way about them again.
Now, it is very painful for me to watch them in the middle of an exciting Croatian spy series. During the three ad breaks, I forced myself to sit through the other night. There was a Lloyds Bank ad featuring a black horse racing alongside delighted people to the sound of a Carpenters track. It made me want to tie my TV to the tail of a galloping(飞驰的) horse, so I could never watch anything of the sort ever again. However, on the other hand, I know that All 4 offers free service just because it makes profits from ads. As a big fan of All 4, I have to get rid of my dissatisfaction and tolerate its downside since it really offers me films and shows I like.
32.What can we know about All 4 from the first two paragraphs?
A. Its programs aren't very appealing.
B. Its users are charged much for the service.
C. Its shows cannot be fast-forwarded.
D.Its users are forced to watch ads.
33. What did the author think of ads when he was a kid?
A.He found them interesting. B. He thought them quite silly.
C. He regarded them as confusing. D.He considered them misleading.
34. What served as a turning point in the author’s attitude toward ads?
A.His improvement in cartoon drawing.
B. His parents’ purchasing an oven cleaner.
C. His recording the oven cleaner advertisement.
D. His art teacher’s negative comment on ads.
35. What lesson can we get after reading the text?
A. Every coin has two sides.
B. All rivers run into sea.
C. Earn your bread with your sweat.
D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

Travelling feels good. Seeing new places and gaining new experiences make us feel happy. 36 You must have taken a trip away and come back with new ideas in life. Why is this? When you’re travelling, a chemical called dopamine is produced in your brain. Dopamine causes feelings of relaxation, which in turn encourages creativity.
However, not many of us can afford the time or money required to travel often. 37 With these changes, you can get the travelling feeling even when you’re in your hometown.
Stimulate (刺激) your five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch). To achieve this, you can try out any new restaurant that opens near you or cook at least one new dish every week. 38 Even if you have walked around your local area thousands of times before, there will be a few back roads you’ve never explored before.
39 This will cause the creative feeling that comes with travelling. Sign up for an evening course or learn an instrument. Along with the intellectual (智力的) stimulation of the new activity, you’ll also get to meet new people, who in themselves can provide you with new ways of looking at the world.
Remember that travelling isn’t just about your physical position. 40 Follow the above tips and you can get that travelling feeling every day.
A. Try to learn a new skill.
B. It’s also a state of mind.
C. Go out of your way to experience new sights.
D. Actually you should learn to appreciate them.
E. Luckily, you can make some changes to your daily life.
F. Travelling also makes us come up with new ideas more easily.
G. When we get something new, we quickly get used to owning them.

It was late afternoon on Basse-Terre Island in the French West Indies. A few hours before sunset, Christina and I decided to hike to Acomat Falls, about half a mile into the rainforested mountains near Guadeloupe National Park.
Heavy rain began to fall as we arrived at the trailhead, so we decided to wait for five minutes. Sure enough, it stopped and we set off down the muddy path. Expecting to spend no more than an hour at the falls, we wore T-shirts and swimsuits. I carried my phone and camera. We were visiting a well-known spot, so I hadn't told anyone where we were going except Mae, our vacation rental host.
We hiked for 15 minutes through mud and roots. After crossing a 10-foot-wide river and walking upstream about 100 yards, we finally reached the falls. It was around 4 p. m. and only one other couple was there. We dove into the green pool and floated on our backs, looking up at the canyon（周围有悬崖峭壁的峡谷） walls.
By 4: 30, the other couple had left. We knew we needed to leave, but I was waist-deep in the river trying to photograph the falls. Christina was sitting on a rock. I finally got a good shot-and then she shouted.
With a crack like thunder, a wall of brown water rushed over the top of the falls, carrying fragments of trees and plants with it. "Flash flood!" I jumped out of the river immediately and Christina scrambled（爬） barefoot off the rock toward higher ground. We clawed our way up the canyon on all fours. After climbing about 200 feet, we stopped to catch our breath. I looked over my shoulder and saw that the water had risen by about 20 feet. Now we had a different problem: Our car were on the other side of the swollen river. We were stuck.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Exhausted from the scramble, we started to try the phone.

After about ten hours of desperate waiting in the dark, we saw lights across the canyon.

M:So,if everyone is here,I’ll make a start.As you know,a few months ago we asked some people to do a survey of the way we answer the telephone across the group.
They telephoned our offices as customers normally would.Now,I’ll begin with what they found out.First of all,they found out that on average we answer the phone after four rings,which isn’t bad,but we can still improve on it.Secondly,friendliness.Now,although some offices scored as high as 8 out of 10 for friendliness,the people only gave the company as a whole 6 out of 10.On this point,they suggested that we use some good phrases on the phone.I think we can choose some new hold music as well.And finally,efficiency.Now here,we did quite well.However,there were one or two bad points which we still have to work on,such as always remembering to ask the caller’s name.So,we need to do a lot of work.
17.When was the survey carried out?
A.Several months ago.
B.Several weeks ago.

23.D 推理判断题。根据第三段“In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson ”（“除了在UNLV教书外，我还在亨德森的社区大学教书）以及根据最后一段“Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach myclass, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.”（相反，它在一个完美的地方抛锚:远离高速公路，离这里很近。我还能上课，我还能安排拖车下课后来接我。）由此我们可以推断那位教师的汽车抛锚的地点是在社区大学附近。故选D项。

【参考范文】
Exhausted from the scramble, we started to try the phone. However, there was no service. Then Christina suggested moving toward higher ground to get a better signal. For a moment, the phone connected, and I heard the voice of Mae. She said she'd call for help. Then the phone went silent. Not knowing whether rescuers could reach us, we sheltered under some trees and told each other not to panic. There was nothing we could do but wait. As it became colder and colder in the night, we had to gather close together for warmth.
After about ten hours of desperate waiting in the dark, we saw lights across the canyon. Someone must be searching for us! But it was so dark that it was really difficult to find us across the river. So we shouted as loudly as we could and finally got noticed. Then I heard the noise of a helicopter. In minutes, a cable appeared and then a rescue. We were safe.
