学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________

一、阅读理解
You might have heard over the weekend: a man survived an avalanche(雪崩) after falling off a 50-foot cliff(悬崖) while skiing in Colorado. Yes, you read that correctly. The sad truth of the matter is surviving an avalanche burial is rare. According to Jake Hutchinson, an avalanche rescuer and safety instructor in Utah, it’s very rare. And recent studies show large-scale avalanches might be on the increase because of climate change.
“The hard part about the avalanche rescue world is that we can rarely get people there in time to make it a live find,” Hutchinson pointed out. “Realistically, people have a pretty good chance of survival if they can be fully dug out in the first 15 to 30 minutes of burial.”
Hutchinson has been working in the avalanche rescue world for nearly 30 years. He said it’s not the cold and hypothermia(体温过低) that kill, but the lack of oxygen. “Unfortunately, that results in death really quickly. And so, time is really against us.”
“I think people underestimate either the potential of a slope, like what kind of avalanche it can create, or they have overconfidence.” Hutchinson emphasized the best way for people to survive an avalanche burial is to have well-trained partners with proper avalanche rescue gear(器具). He advised people to always get the forecast before you go as well. And if it doesn’t look safe, avoiding the area altogether is your best option. “To ski in powder is really fun,” Hutchinson acknowledged, but he added, “It doesn’t matter what cool thing you did in the mountains if you didn’t come home to talk about it, because coming home at the end of the day is the most important part of all this.”
1、According to Hutchinson, what is the major cause of a skier’s death when an avalanche occurs?
A. The extreme cold. B. The hypothermia.
C. The delay of rescue. D. The lack of oxygen.
2、What might Hutchinson recommend skiers to do to stay safe?
A. Learn to ski with a world-famous coach.
B. Choose a snowy day to ski with best friends.
C. Have experienced partners with avalanche rescue equipment.
D. Avoid slopes and ski with an avalanche rescuer and safety instructor.
3、What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To inform the readers of the consequence of an avalanche.
B. To stress the importance of skiing safety over thrill seeking.
C. To share a story of a narrow escape from an avalanche burial.
D. To call the readers’ attention to the catastrophic weather change.
Unknown to many Americans perhaps, the Japanese are huge fans of racing. They crowd racetracks throughout the country, especially near major cities like Tokyo. The country has some of the finest breeding farms and racehorses in the world.
Japanese racehorse and Japanese racing success has increased dramatically. While Japan is enjoying its new success in racing, it was not always or need not always be that way. The idea that effort is greater than outcome extends to horseracing. There is no finer example of this than the near-legendary story of Haru Urara, a horse whose name means “Glorious Spring”, but whose racing career was anything but glorious.
Haru Urara was born in 1996. Her father was NippoTeio, a highly successful racehorse whose wins included Tokyo’s famous horseracing competition of Yasuda Kinen, and whose mother was named Heroine. Her great-great-great grandfather was Canada’s famed Northern Dancer, considered the foundational sire of North American Thoroughbred racehorses.
Her owner NobutoBokulo tried to sell her when she was young and was surprisingly unsuccessful. So, with seemingly wonderful racing bloodlines, he trained her to race.
She started her racing career with a fifth-and last-place finish on Nov.17, 1998 at Kochi Racetrack on the Japanese island of Shikoku. Of course, it is not unusual for a new racehorse to finish poorly in a first outing. What followed, however, was definitely unusual.
An iron horse, Haru Urara raced as often as twice a month over the next four and a half years-and never won a single race. By 2003, her losing record totaled 80 and that is when her story was picked up by media in Japan and eventually around the world. People respected the fact that, while she never won, she ran with all her heart. The “Haru Urara Boom” as it came to be known touched even the most unrelated areas of Japanese life.
4、Why did the owner of Haru Urara decide to train her to race?
A. Because Haru Urara showed a talent for racing.
B. Because Haru Urara possessed outstanding racing bloodlines.
C. Because NobutoBokulo failed to sell her at a reasonable price.
D. Because NobutoBokulo thought a racehorse could earn him a lot of money.
5、Which of the following can best describe Haru Urara?
A. Determined and inspirational. B. Independent and glorious.
C. Powerful and lucky. D. Responsible and lovely.
6、What message does the story of Haru Urara convey?
A. Winning isn’t everything: it’s the only thing.
B. Don’t depend on your family: depend on yourself.
C. Those who try hard and then lose still deserve our respect.
D. Failure is the mother of success as long as you stick to your dream.
7、Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Haru Urara: a Rising Star B. Haru Urara: a Shame of the Family
C. Haru Urara: Janpan’s Lovable Loser D. Haru Urara: an Absolute Loser
“Cash or credit?” Is that statement becoming a phrase of the past? New technology and tools that support cashless payment options have speeded up this process and made us feel that were on our way towards a cashless society. Is this a good or a bad thing? Let's take a look at both sides of the issue.
The most obvious benefits of a cashless society are simplicity and convenience. What can be easier than sending a P2P payment or tapping your phone? There's no need to visit a credit union branch or ATM to obtain cash or worry about not having enough cash on hand to make a purchase.
Plus, a cashless society saves cost. The manufacturing of bills and coins is expensive, and cash handling is even more so. Think about everything that a retail business needs to do with cash—store it, withdraw it, deposit it, etc. And, in the case of credit unions or other financial institutions, consider the cost of security, gas, truck maintenance, etc. when transporting large sums of cash between locations.
However with cash payments, you can send and receive funds safely and anonymously. But that's not possible with electronic payments, which leave a digital trace behind them with a wealth of information about both your transaction and you.
Besides, electronic payments are fat targets for hackers whose goal is to obtain and use transferred funds for their own evil purposes. At the same time, a cashless payment is like an open door to identity theft since so much information about individual consumers can be stolen.
Finally, when it comes to technology issues, making a cash payment is a simple, low-tech act. There's no need to worry about unsafe software, bad network connections, service breakdown, limited server space, or other technical problems. But in a cashless society, where even a dead cell phone battery can cut a consumer off from access to his or her funds, such technology issues can be quite challenging.
8、What can we learn from the passage?
A. In terms of technology, cashless payment is simpler.
B. Cash-free business is cost-effective in many aspects.
C. Many young citizens still prefer cash or credit to e-payment.
D. Electronic payments will not involve any of your privacy.
9、What is the author's attitude towards a cashless society?
A. Cautious. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
10、Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2 ③=Paragraph 3 ④=Paragrapha 4 ⑤=Paragraph 5 ⑥=Paragraph 6
A. B.
C. D.

六、读后续写
34、阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Holland is a country where much of the land lies below sea level. Only great walls called dikes keep the North Sea from rushing in and flooding the land. Once there lived in Holland a boy named Peter. One lovely autumn afternoon, when Peter was eight, he wanted to take some hot cakes to his blind friend. Off he went with a light heart. He stayed with his friend a little while, telling him about his walk along the dike, about the flowers and the ships far out at sea. Then he remembered his mother's words that he should return before dark, so he set out for home.
As he walked along, he sometimes stopped to pick the pretty flowers that grew beside the road. Suddenly he noticed that the sun was setting. “Mother will be worried about me,” he thought, and he began to run toward home. Just then he heard a noise. He stopped and looked down. There was a small hole in the dike, through which a tiny stream was flowing. Any child in Holland is frightened at the thought of a leak in the dike.
Peter understood the danger at once. If the water ran through a little hole it would soon make a larger one, and the whole country would be flooded. In a moment he saw what he must do. Throwing away his flowers, he climbed down the side of the dike and stuck his finger in the tiny hole. The flowing of the water was stopped! This was all very well at first, but soon it grew dark and cold. The little fellow shouted and screamed for help. But no one heard him. It grew still colder, and his arm ached, and began to grow numb. He shouted again. “Will no one come? Mother! Mother!”
But his mother had looked anxiously along the dike road many times since sunset, and now she had closed the door, thinking that Peter was spending the whole night with his blind friend, and that she would punish him in the morning for staying away from home without permission.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

Paragraph 1:
Peter tried to shout, but he was frozen with cold.

Early the next morning, a passer-by walked along the top of the dike.

32、答案：①third②having attracted③surprising④when⑤it⑥arrival⑦was ruled⑧from⑨won⑩naturally
解析：①考查序数词。句意:加利福尼亚州是美国第三大州,但人口最多。表示“第三大洲”用序数词third。故填third。  
②考查非谓语动词。句意:它也是美国最多元文化的州,吸引了来自世界各地的人们。空处为非谓语动词,且主语it与attract为主动关系,表示完成,所以用现在分词的完成时作状语,故填having attracted。  
③考查形容词。句意:这种文化的多样性就不足为奇了。本句为主系表结构,主语为This diversity of culture,表语为ing结尾的形容词surprising。 故填surprising。  
④考查连接词。句意:没有人确切地知道第一批人是何时来到我们现在所知的加利福尼亚的。know后接宾语从句,表示“何时”,所以用连接词when。故填when。  
⑤考查代词。句意:然而,美国原住民很可能至少在一万五千年前就生活在加州了。it is likely that...“可能……”it做形式主语。故填it。  
⑥考查名词。句意:16世纪,欧洲人到达后,当地人民遭受了巨大的苦难。After为介词后接名词arrival作宾语。故填arrival。  
⑦考查时态语态。句意:18世纪时,加利福尼亚由西班牙统治。根据In the l8th可知,本句为一般过去时,主语California与谓语rule为被动关系。故填was ruled。  
⑧考查介词。句意:1821年,墨西哥人民脱离西班牙获得独立gain one's independence from“独立于”。故填from。  
⑨考查非谓语动词。句意:1846年,在美国赢得战争后,墨西哥不得不将加利福尼亚割让给美国。war与win在逻辑上是被动关系,所以用过去分词,故填won。  
⑩考查副词。句意:1850年,当加州当选为美国第31个联邦州时,它自然是一个多元文化的社会,副词naturally修饰句子作状语。故填naturally。

34、答案：
Peter tried to shout, but he was frozen with cold. He thought of his brother and sister in their warm beds, and of his dear father and mother. “I must not let them be drowned,” he thought. “I must stay here until someone comes, if I have to stay all night.” The moon and stars looked down on the child crouching on a stone on the side of the dike. His head was bent, and his eyes were closed, but he was not asleep, for every now and then he rubbed the hand that was holding back the angry sea. “I'll stand it somehow,” he thought. So he stayed there all night keeping the sea out.
Early the next morning, a passer-by walked along the top of the dike. Looking over the edge, he saw a child clinging to the side of the great wall. “What's the matter?” he called. “Are you hurt?” “I'm keeping the water back!” Peter yelled. “Tell them to come quickly!” The alarm was spread. People came running with shovels and the hole was soon mended. They carried Peter home to his parents, and not long after the whole town knew that he had saved their lives that night. To this day, they have never forgotten the brave little hero of Holland.
