Now Glen doesn’t like to think what might have happened had he and his best friends, Ray Wightman and Chris Johnson, picked their usual path along a rocky outcrop－the faster route to Johnson’s home on Triangle Mountain. They were heading there after school that day－April 14, 1999－to play street hockey in Johnson’s driveway. There were other lucky twists, too: not stopping at the shops to get a cola, as they usually did; hearing the strange cry.

It was 3:30 pm. The three teens were laughing and talking when suddenly they heard a strange cry coming from the ditch(沟渠) across the road. Crossing to take a look, they found an Adidas gym bag sitting deep in the icy water. They climbed down the steep bank and pulled the bag from the water, expecting to find abandoned cats or dogs inside. Instead, the boys found a trembling newborn girl. Wrapped in an old blanket, wearing a thin nightshirt, she was almost blue, her lips shaking from the cold and her crying.

The boys couldn’t have been more astonished. They knew this one needed to get warm and dry, although they didn’t know much about babies. Ray dug through his gym bag and wrapped her in a T-shirt. “We didn’t know what to do,” said Glen. “I didn’t think any of us had really held a baby before.” So the three stood beside the ditch, dumbfounded, taking turns to hold the baby to their chests to keep her warm.

“We knew it was no use walking up to Ray’s house, because his mum was working and no one would be home. We figured we’d have a better chance just staying by the road and flagging down someone.” So they stood there and waited.

A car drove by and the boys caught the driver’s attention, telling her that they had found a baby. The woman then drove off to get help. When the police and ambulance came 20 minutes later, the teens were told the baby was probably two or three hours old and had perhaps been in the ditch for an hour or more. They were also told that they had saved her life and that given 10-20 minutes more in the cold water, she probably would be drowned.

4. On April 14, 1999, Glen and his best friends ________.

A. were on their way to school        B. bought bottles of cola as usual

C. had intended to play street hockey     D. picked the faster route to Johnson’s home

5. When the three teens spotted an Adidas gym bag, ________.

A they didn’t expect to find a baby   B. they found a cat crying in it

C. they found a little dog in it        D. they found the bag was wrapped in an old blanket

6. Why did the teens know it was no use walking up to Ray’s house?

A. Because it was too far away from Ray’s house.

B. Because his mum was working and no one would be home.

C. Because Ray’s parents had gone away on holiday elsewhere

D. Because the baby was in bad condition- and time was limited.

7. What can be the theme of the Text?

A. A life-changing twist B. An icy ditch

C. Three warm-hearted teens D. A lucky newborn girl

C

Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.

“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate(保守的估计).”

At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what was possible in the past. “There is a great effort so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”

However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.

Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”

8．By saying“we are knocking at the door of immortality”,Michael Zey means_________.

A．they have got some ideas about living forever

B．they believe that there is no limit of living

C．they are able to make people live past the present life span

D．they are sure to find the truth about long living

9．Donald Louria’s attitude towards long living is that________.

A．the human body is designed to last past about 120 years

B．it is possible for humans to live longer in the future

C．it is still doubtful how long humans can live

D．people can live from 120 to 180

10．The underlined word“it”(in Paragraph 4)refers to________.

A．a great effort

B．the conservative estimate

C．the idea of living from 200 to 300 years

D．the idea of living beyond the present life span

11．What would be the best title for this text?

A．No Limit for Human Life

B．Living Longer or not

C．Science,Technology and Long Living

D．Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living

D

The FBI is investigating the disappearance of a visiting Chinese scholar from a central Illinois university town as a kidnapping(绑架) as her whereabouts(下落) have remained unknown since Friday.

Zhang Yingying, 26, was last seen on June 9 near the north end of the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign（UIUC）, wearing a charcoal-colored baseball cap, a pink and white top, jeans and white tennis shoes and carrying a black backpack. She boarded a Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District bus and exited the West Springfield and North Mathews avenues at 1:52 pm local time（1852 GMT）, police said.

The FBI has labeled the case as a kidnapping but isn’t ruling out anything, said Campus police spokesman Patrick Wade. The suspect appears to be a white male who was in a car and stopped to talk to Zhang on Friday afternoon, the FBI said. Almost one month into a yearlong appointment at the UIUC campus, Zhang’s friends told police that she was heading to an apartment complex in Urbana to sign a lease(租约).

Security camera footage(连续镜头) on Monday released by university police showed that Zhang talked to the driver of a black Saturn Astra, about five blocks from where she got off a bus in Urbana on Friday afternoon. She entered the car shortly thereafter. Zhang has not been seen or heard from since then and attempts to contact her by phone remain unsuccessful. Authorities have asked the public to help identify that vehicle.

A massive search has been launched in Urbana in the US state of Illinois since Zhang’s disappearance. Police are interviewing with her colleagues, checking local hospitals and coordinating with ride-hailing(打车) companies as part of their investigative efforts.

In an interview with Xinhua through Wechat on Thursday, Zhang Ronggao, father of the missing visiting scholar from China’s Fujian Province, expressed gratitude to all the people involved in the search and asked US police to accelerate the search.

12. Why did Zhang Yingying leave for an apartment complex?

A. To visit a friend there. B. To rent a place to live.

C. To apply for a part-time job. D. To go to her dormitory there.

13. The possible meaning of the underlined phrase “rule out” in Para. 3 is “________”.

A explain  B. exclude    C. evaluate   D. escape

14. Which is the correct order of what Zhang Yingying did?

a. She entered the car shortly thereafter.

b. She talked to the driver of a black Saturn Astra.

c. She exited the West Springfield and North Mathews avenues.

d. She boarded a Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District bus.

A. b→a→d→c B. c→b→a→d

C. d→c→b→a D. a→b→d→c

15. What can be the best title for the news report?

A. Suspect appears to be a white male who was in a car

B. Authorities ask public to help identify suspect’s vehicle

C. Police are interviewing with Zhang Yingying’s colleagues

D. FBI investigates Chinese scholar’s disappearance since Friday as kidnapping

It was March 8th, Women’s Day. I decided to do something for my mom and give her a surprise.

Immediately after school, I went to the supermarket, when I bought plenty of vegetables, fish and meat. As soon as I arrived home, I started to prepare the dinner for Mom. It was the first time that I had cooked something on my own. Not knowing the exactly process to cook. I read some recipes first. Keep what I had learned in mind, I got down with cooking. Almost an hour later, three simple but delicious dishes were ready on the table.

Since Mom couldn’t get home until thirty minutes later, I started to do some cleaning. It was not difficult for me. Mopping thoroughly, the floor was quite clean.

No sooner had everything been ready Mom came back. I couldn’t wait to show what I had been done for her. A big smile with both surprise and satisfy spread on Mom’s face. At that moment, pride rose from a bottom of my heart. Although she fell a little tired, everything was worthwhile.

             【答案】

Good morning, everyone!

On behalf of Students’ Union, I feel greatly honored to introduce to you something about Start of Spring, an important Chinese seasonal division point.

As the first one of the twenty-four solar terms, which mean a lot to Chinese famers for guiding their farming, Start of Spring usually falls in early February. To observe the festival, various activities will be held, such as pasting new year’s couplets or paintings, eating spring rolls, having a spring outing and so on. Generally, Chinese people attach great importance to Start of Spring since it signifies the coming of spring, after which nature begins to come to life and everything takes on a new look.

All in all, not only does Start of Spring breed people’s hope for a new year, but it conveys their expectation for the bright future.

Thank you.
