As my son was too young, we were super vigilant for fear that he should go out of the front door.Cindy knew that our son wasn’t allowed to go through the front door without us, so whenever Tony touched the front door handle, she would push him back. One morning, around 4 am, our son somehow managed to “escape” through his bedroom window, and Cindy had to follow.At 5 am, the police woke us knocking on the door. They said, “Your son was nearly killed but the dog saved him.” They then repeated what the truck driver had said.He told them that he was driving along in the dark and in the distance he could see something “light coloured” moving on the road. As he got closer, he could see a dog at the side of the road barking at it. At the last moment, he realized that it was a child and was about to change the direction. The dog was still barking, glancing(扫视) between the truck and the child. While the driver was braking(刹车), the dog ran out into the road, jumped at the child’s back and threw him out of the path of the truck. At the same time, the truck hit the dog and she was killed.The driver said that he’d never believe what he saw unless it was with his own eyes. He thought that the dog definitely knew the danger, which was why she was barking so anxiously. He said “that dog just saved that kid’s life and it knew what it was doing.”That was 39 years ago and I still miss Cindy every day.4. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “vigilant”?A. Careful. B. Desperate.C. Upset. D. Confident.5. What did the driver first see on the road?A.

Although they don't appear to be as destructive as other introduced species because they eat trees and plants that our native Australian animals don' t eat, in the last few years the Australian Camel population has been increasing at a fairly alarming rate and becoming a bit of a problem.We didn’t see them that often where we grew up unless we went further into Queensland or South Australia. When we did see them it was always a bit of a thrill for us kids because it was somewhat of a novelty(新奇的事物).The suggestion of bringing camels to Australia was first made in 1837, 49 years after Europeans arrived in Australia. The importing of camels into Australia began in the mid 1800s to open up the desert areas of Central and Western Australia. They were handled and cared for by Muslim cameleers that came from countries like Egypt, Turkey and northern India. The cameleers were called Afghans or “Ghans”even though most of them were not Afghans. The name stuck to a part of the railroad track that links Port Augusta in South Australia to Darwin in the Northern Territory.By the 1920s there were about 20,000 domesticated(家养的) camels in Australia, but with the arrival of motor and rail transport in the 1930s people no longer needed their camels and a lot of them were abandoned in the bush.Australian Camels are now exported live to Saudi Arabia the United Arab Emirates and other countries where disease-free camels are considered a delicacy(佳肴).  Australian Camels are also exported to Arab Camel racing stables as breeding stock. The United States also imports them to use in tourist attractions. There are over 40 farms providing rides in Australia now.8. What problem with camels in Australia is mentioned?A. They carry disease.B. They hurt people sometimes.C. The number of them is growing rapidly.D. Some native animals are threatened by them.9. For what purpose were camels brought to Australia?A. To keep the balance of nature. B. To develop the desert areas.C. To satisfy kids’ curiosity. D. To create new jobs.10. What led to camels' being deserted in Australia?A. The disappearance of bushes. B. The spread of a serious disease.C. The introduction of other animals. D. The availability of modern vehicles.11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?A. The history of Australian Camels. B. What Australian Camels are used for.C. The advantages of Australian Camels. D. Why Australian Camels are popular abroad. DIn the waves of human exploration into space our brave Chinese people have never stopped the pace of advancing. In just half a century, China has made remarkable aviation exploration success. After landing probes on the lunar and Martian surfaces, China has begun to set its exploratory sights on the core of our solar system—the sun. Named Xihe after the sun goddess in ancient Chinese mythology, the 508-kilogram Chinese H-Alpha Solar Explorer satellite was launched on Oct. 14 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi province. It then entered a sun-synchronous orbit about 517 kilometers above Earth. The spacecraft is China's first space-based solar telescope and is designed to work for at least three years, Wang Wei, project manager of the satellite, told China Daily. Its scientific payload is an H-alpha imaging spectrograph. The H-alpha band is one of the best spectral lines to study solar activity, according to the Global Times. “The instrument is able to observe and record changes in the sun's physical elements like its temperature and speed, facilitating scientists' studies about the dynamics and physics during a solar eruption,” Wang told China Daily. Several Chinese satellites, such as the Fengyun 3E meteorological satellite, have carried equipment that can collect solar data, but Xihe is the first one dedicated to solar observation. “Since solar activity has many effects on life on Earth, it is important for mankind to study the sun,” Zhao Jian, a senior official at the China National Space Administration, told China Daily. Since the 1960s, NASA has sent dozens of solar orbiters to circle the sun, and in 2004, the Genesis spacecraft returned a sample of solar wind. The most recently launched solar mission was Parker Solar Probe in 2018. Europe and Japan also have solar missions, according to the South China Morning Post. “Our country is ranked No. 2 in the world in terms of published research papers on solar observations, but all of the satellite-generated data used by our scientists are from foreign spacecraft,” Zhao told China Daily. “Xihe will put an end to the dependence on foreign satellites, and we will share its products with researchers around the world.”12. What do we know about Xihe?A. It is expected to work for five years. B. It is a half-ton scientific research satellite.C. It is named after an ancient Chinese scientist. D. It is the world's first solar observation satellite.13. What is the main task of Xihe according to the text?A To monitor changes in the sun's physical elements.B To adjust the temperature and speed of the sun.C. To study how solar activity affects life on Earth.D. To observe other satellites around the sun.14. Why is it essential to do research on the sun?A. Our reliance on foreign satellites will come to an end.B. It helps scientists learn more about solar history.C. Solar eruptions may bring human beings disasters.D. Creatures on Earth would suffer with little knowledge about solar activity.15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The advantages of the Xihe satellite. B. The significance of the Xihe mission.C. The development of China's space exploration. D. The ways scientists collect satellite-generated data. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5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。When you' re on vacation， the temptations to overdo the eating and drinking are everywhere.___16___But a sensible diet doesn't have to and shouldn't fall by the wayside when on vacation.

My old shirt had worn out and made me depressed every time I put it on. But now I had a brand-new shirt! I was so excited. The next school match wasn’t until next week though! How could I wait that long? I couldn’t. So I decided to wear it today for the first time during a kick about in our street. I wish I hadn’t! As soon as we had been playing for ten minutes, the shirt sleeve ripped (裂开) when I made a turn. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first. “I’ll sew it back together after the match” I thought. But then I noticed that it wasn’t just the stitch (针脚) that had come out, the whole sleeve was torn. Only a professional can mend it now. I couldn’t tell my mum and dad that my new football shirt was ruined. I needed a tailor. As I walked home, feeling totally at a loss what to do, I was startled to suddenly come across a shop sign “All kinds of repairs and services!” I went inside immediately. However, I hadn’t seen the step in front of the door and I tripped into the shop hitting a wooden sculpture to the left of the entrance. When I crashed into it, it broke! I looked around the shop feeling embarrassed and blushing bright red. A man with white bushy hair said calmly, “Welcome!” “I’m sorry. I broke your sculpture.” “You’ve broken it in just the right place. This is a repair shop. Repairs are my job! I looked around the shop. I saw an iron, broken toys and a broken chair. “I guess this is the wrong place. What I really need is a tailor’s” I said, putting my fingers through the tear (裂口) in the shirt. “It’s OK. I’ve been waiting a long, long time to repair a football shirt. “Are you serious?” I held the shirt tight so he couldn’t take it from me.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,3. 合理正确的使用高级语法结构, 如倒装句、虚拟语气等, 作文在原得分上加一分 (每个语法现象最多加一分)Paragraph 1:But the man didn’t let me move and took the shirt from me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:When I said “Thank you”, I noticed a photo of a football team attached to the sewing machine (缝纫机)._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________听力：1-5 BCACB    6-10 ABBAB    11-15 CCACA        16-20 BCBAC
