Jos Bots is not your everyday old person. The man who is in his nineties is about to get down to breaking the record to become the world’s oldest solo sportsman on paraglider(滑翔伞)at an old age most people struggle(拼搏)to reach. Reaching for the near-impossible goal hasn’t been easy for the proud New South Welshman. He has already cheated death several times doing this dangerous sport. “I’ve met many accidents that have nearly killed me a few times,” he said. “Winds changed mid-flight suddenly. I nearly crashed into another paraglider and even fell into sea with paraglider lines wrapped(缠绕) around my legs and arms.”

But age is just a number for Mr Bots, who celebrated his 93rd birthday on Wednesday. He said the paragliding experience still “amazes” him although he has been doing it for over 50 years.

The Guinness World Record now for the oldest solo sportsman on paraglider is held by Polish man Janusz Orlowski who flew to heights of 332 m at the age of 91 in 2017.But Mr Bots believes the time has come for him to seize the title, even with the difficult conditions at Sydney’s unofficial home of the sport, Stanwell Park, 58 km south off the capital. “You’ve got to gain 300 m in height, which can be done at a lot of places but it’s difficult to do at Stanwell Park,” Mr Bots said. “We did a test once and I missed the 300 m elevation(海拔) level by 10 m, actually.”

Though he faces all the close calls and ageist refusers, Mr Bots is hungrier than ever to break the record, and he’ll pay close attention to Stanwell Park weather reports, waiting for the perfect chance to strike. “The Guinness Book of Records goes all over the world, and it would be very nice and something to think about,” he said.

4. What nearly caused Jos Bots to crash into another paraglider?

A. His paraglider broke down in the air.

B. Another paraglider ran into his by accident.

C. His eyes were covered by the paraglider.

D. The wind suddenly changed during the flight.

5. According to Jos Bots, he didn’t break the Guinness World Record because of       

A. the ever-changing weather

B. the hard conditions at Stanwell Park

C. his imperfect skills

D. his poor equipment

6. What does the underlined word “strike” in paragraph 4 mean?

A. Record. B. Search. C. Change. D. Fly.

7. What can best describe Jos Bots?

A. Active and risk-taking.

B. Clever and strong-willed.

C. Confident and easy-going.

D. Patient and warm-hearted.

                                       C

It is presently harvest (收获) season for Christian Nacht Wey, who operates an apple farm, or orchard, in the western German town of Gelsdorf. Besides apples, Nacht Wey’s farm also produces a second harvest: electricity. Many of the farm’s trees grow under solar panels (太阳能电池板) that have been producing power during this year’s unusually sunny summer. Putting solar equipment on the same land as crops is becoming increasingly popular in Europe and North America. Farmers are finding that this method can make the most of their land, while creating a second way to earn money.

But getting the right mix of crop and solar is difficult. Most fruit requires specific growing conditions. Even small changes in the environment can harm crops and cause money losses. Even if the fruit survives (幸存), it might turn the wrong color or be less sweet and may be difficult to sell.

For these reasons, Nacht Wey is working with researchers to test which kinds of apples do well under a solar cover. For testing purposes, Nacht Wey covered some of his trees with a traditional netting material. It is normally used to protect sensitive (敏感的) crops from serious weather events.

Juergen Zimmer is an expert with the area’s agricultural services department. He told the AP that apples grown under the solar covers were a little less sweet this year than those under the nets. But almost no solar-shaded apples got damaged (损害) in the strong sunlight that hit the area on July 24. In the non-shaded group, about 18 percent of apples suffered sun damage that day, Zimmer said. Researchers hope the tests will show that fruit crops perform well under solar panels. This could help prevent renewable energy production from competing for valuable agricultural land. That competition has become an increasing question as the need for renewable energy increases to fight climate change and rising food prices.

8. What does the author try to tell us in paragraph 2?

A. The method of the test.

B. The disadvantage of solar panels.

C. The difficulty of growing crops.

D. Some reasons for the test in the farm.

9. What are netting materials usually used to do?

A. Test what apples are suitable for a solar cover.

B. Examine why some crops are sensitive to heat.

C. Keep some crops from being damaged by terrible weather.

D. Speed up the growth of apples.

10. What is Juergen Zimmer’s attitude to using the solar covers?

A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unclear. D. Uncaring.

11. What can be the best title for the text?

A. German Farmer Grows Fruit under Solar Power Equipment

B. Researchers Find Out New Way to Produce Renewable Energy

C. Solar Energy Could Play Big Part in Valuable Agricultural Land

D. Increasingly Popular Way of Operating Orchard Among German Farmers

D

Cuckoos(布谷鸟) are masters of cheating. When it comes to raising young, they don't spend the energy building a nest(鸟巢),protecting eggs or feeding children. Instead, the female passes these roles on to other birds. They don't raise their own young. Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.

To succeed in doing this, a female cuckoo watches over her chosen nest to observe feeding times. When the host parent leaves its nest in search of food, the cuckoo quickly lays her eggs among those already in the nest. Sometimes, she will even destroy and remove one of the host's eggs to make room for her own.

Cuckoos are medium-sized birds with long tails, and often have gray or brown backs. When they hatch(孵化) and begin to grow in a host's nest, the difference between the two can be obvious to an onlooker. Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster parents(养父母),but still continues to receive food from them.

The cuckoo imposter(冒名顶替者) is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for. This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest. Even then, the non- biological parent will continue to treat it as one of its own.

Also, cuckoos have developed to produce eggs that are similar in color to their main hosts’. This reduces the chances of eggs being attacked. Female cuckoos have been known to take host birds' attention away after laying their eggs by producing a noise similar to Eurasian sparrowhawks, scaring birds away from returning to the nest and allowing time for the cuckoo to make her escape unnoticed.

12.What do mother cuckoos usually do when it comes to raising their young?

A. Attend to eggs.       B. Build a new nest.  

C. Learn feeding skills.   D. Rely on other birds.

13.What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Other cuckoos.       B. Baby cuckoos. 

C. Cuckoo's host parents.     D. Cuckoo's birth parents. 

14. What can be inferred about the cuckoo imposter?

A. It usually hatches out earlier than the other eggs in the nest.

B. It throws all the other eggs out of nests with its mother's help.

C. It often makes a noise to scare other birds away from the nest.

D. It looks much larger than other eggs in the nest before hatching.

15. Which can be the best title for the text?

A. How cuckoos protect their children    B. How cuckoos fool other birds

C. How cuckoos destroy others' nests    D. How cuckoos produce eggs

Before I turned 10, I lost my parents. My siblings(兄弟姐妹) left Hyderabad after relatives adopted them, but I insisted on staying back to continue my education. I lived alone in a room that a family member allowed me to use rent-free. To support myself, I began to deliver newspapers.

I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometers to the newspaper office. By 6 am, I would collect 50copies of Manzil (Urdu Daily)---the bundle(一捆）must have weighed over 5 kilograms. My beat (工作区域）spanned (跨越）3 kilometers. After distributing (分发）the copies, I would rush home---another 3 kilometers---quickly eat and be off to high school.

On a cold winter morning, I got home after my deliveries to find a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Afzal and said his father wanted to see me.

I was greeted at the door by Afzal’s mother, Naseem. She served tea and snacks as Afzal’s father, Mr Kader, joined us. She gently asked me about my daily routine. I told her about my morning job.

Later,as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mr Kader asked me to wait. Naseem asked me,”How many miles do you walk every day?”

“A little more than six.” I replied. My reply shocked her.

“That’s too much! You must be really tired every day.” Naseem looked at me with misty eyes.

“I have been used to that.” I said, managing a smile.

A little while later, I saw Mr Kader emerge again, wheeling(推）a new bicycle. It was a Hercules, quite expensive in pre-Independence India. If only I had such a bicycle!

注意：1、续写词数应为150左右；2、请按如下格式在以下位置作答。

“This is for you!” he said._________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

第四部分 写作

Last weekend witnessed a meaningful volunteer activity to promote the importance of lake protection. The students willing to play a role in protecting the lake gathered in front of the school gate at 8 am last Sunday. Then they set out to do a variety of things to help protect the lake. Some picked up plastic waste by the lake near our school, while others handed out leaflets on the streets to call for more people to make an effort.

The volunteer activity was highly spoken of because it not only heightened our awareness of lake protection but also motivated more people to take part in making the earth a better place.
