This big-sister thing wasn’t pleasant. I was five, and my sister Lisa was two years younger. Every time we did something that we shouldn’t do, I got into more trouble. It seemed everybody paid attention to her.

One day I was playing with the kids next door, and found out that in other people’s houses, the older kids had later bedtime.Going back with my new-found information, I asked my mother to make a change and she said no.

So I went to my room and started to pack. Into the suitcase went my books and some toys. Putting some more clothes into, I went downstairs. Mum looked up and asked if I was running away. As I told her yes, she wasn’t nearly as upset as I expected.

“Are you going to Grandma Sylvia’s?” I couldn’t believe she would know this. She was like a witch.

Without answering her, I went out, pulling the suitcase with great difficulty, not knowing Mum was following behind.

Finally I got to Grandma’s house about two kilometers away. Before I knocked, the door opened. Grandma told me she was happy to see me, and I realized Mum had already called ahead.

Soon Mum came in; sat in my grandmother’s chair, took my hot little face in her hands and said, “Sweet-heart, I don’t want you to be so unhappy. If it’s hard for you to live with Lisa, tomorrow I’ll call the orphanage(孤儿院) and send her away.”

Knowing what an orphanage was, I started to cry. “Don’t send my sister away!” Mum unwillingly agreed that we would all go home and give it another try. That night, Mum fed us, gave us a bath and sent us to bed at the same time.

In the following years, once in a while Lisa and I would have a fight, and to this day, if I turn over my shoulder and say, “Mum, Lisa’s being mean to me!” Mum always answers in the same way, “You had your chance.”

34. The girl ran away from home because she thought ________.

A. she was treated differently B. Lisa had later bedtime

C. she had to share love with Lisa D. Lisa always made trouble

35. Why did the girl think Mum was like a witch?

A. Mum didn’t care about her leaving. B. Mum refused to make a change.

C. Mum knew where she was going. D. Mum knew Grandma was waiting for her.

36. What does the mother want to tell the girl by saying “You had your chance”?

A. She should try to fight back. B. She can run away from home again.

C. She can still send Lisa to the orphanage. D. She should learn to get along well with Lisa.

37. Which of the following best describes the mother in the story?

A. Mean. B. Wise. C. Strict. D. Unfair.

Language changes all the time. New words and phrases appear and develop. The words and pronunciations used by young people in the UK can be very different to those used by adults. Living in a multicultural(多元文化的) society has an effect on language, especially on young people, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds. TV and music also have big influence on the language of the young. Often UK singers sing in American accents(口音) without realizing.

Young British people use lots of language that you usually can’t find in most dictionaries. These informal words and expressions are known as “slang”. It is not possible to make a complete list of modern British slang. By the time the list was finished it would be out of date! New words come and go like fashions. However, here are a few examples:

▷Safe, sorted, sound, cool or wicked all mean “That’s good” or “I understand”.

▷Instead of using different tag questions like... isn’t it?, can’t you? or don’t they?, people use innit.

▷Instead of saying very, really or completely, people use well.

▷Whatever means I don’t care.

▷“He’s fine” or “He’s fit” both mean “He’s good-looking”. “Fine” and “fit” can describe a boy or a girl.

Not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently stopped its pupils using slang words such as hiya (hello), cheers and ta (both mean thank you). The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak “correctly” this will help them get a place at university and a good job.

When British people use language like this, it’s no surprise that some students say they can’t understand native speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry about communicating with native speakers so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “International English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker.

38. In the UK, you can find little slang in ________.

A. pop songs B. TV programmes C. most dictionaries D. young people’s language

39. The writer uses the example of a school in Sheffield to support that ________.

A. slang is out of date B. slang is changing quickly

C. slang words can be used easily D. some people don’t like slang

40. Which slang can be used in the following dialogue?

—But the teacher says we can’t leave until we’ve finished.

—________. I’m going.

A. Sound B. Fine C. Cheers D. Whatever

41. What can we know from the passage?

A. Learning English slang will help young people get a good job.

B. It is impossible to make a complete list of modern British slang.

C. The young people in the UK speak English slang less than adults.

D. English between non-native speakers in the world today contains a lot of English slang.

D

“When a wildfire destroys a forest, what is a good choice for recovering what has been lost? Across the world, there have been many types of agriculture, so how do you affordably replant the destroyed land? And that’s where our technology comes in,” says Grant Canary, CEO of DroneSeed, a Seattle developer of a drone(无人机) data platform. DroneSeed will fly drones to prepare for a new forest that has been burnt. Carrying 57 pounds of tree seeds, the drones work in teams to find destroyed areas and spread seeds. They are six times faster than planting seedlings by hand. This can also help make the cost of planting seedlings 60—70% less than that of traditional reforestation(再造林).

DroneSeed can substitute for human tree planters. Tree planters do a valuable job well, but there are fewer tree planters because of the difficulty and low pay of the work. Meanwhile, the work of replanting a forest after a fire is beyond the abilities of human labor. Luckily, drones can send dozens of seed packets. This has many advantages. It removes unwanted and dangerous jobs from both planters and pilots whose near-ground work is difficult. A line of drones can prepare more and cover far more ground than human does. And the process is easily seen and controlled.

Jay Zaveri, a partner at Social Capital, said, “Global reforestation is important in fighting against climate change, so we’ve helped DroneSeed from the very start. Since then, DroneSeed has put in its efforts to reforest land, found a successful way, and changed the experience of forest development.” DroneSeed is a one-stop shop for reforestation services. DroneSeed has got a fund of $36 million. The company will use some funds to buy Silvaseed, a 130-year-old company, to expand(扩大) its seed collection and planting services. In addition, DroneSeed plans to expand further to meet the growing need for reforestation assistance by the middle of next year. And it will add more reforestation projects and expand its services to more places in the future.

42. Why does the author mention Grant Canary’s words?

A. To tell us the serious damage of wildfires.

B. To point out the difficulty of saving burned forests.

C. To show the importance of environmental protection.

D. To introduce the idea behind DroneSeed’s technology.

43. What is TRUE about DroneSeed?

A. It has made much money. B. It works for forest rebuilding.

C. It can find wildfires in advance. D. It joins hands with local farmers.

44. What does the underlined phrase “substitute for” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Train. B. Encourage. C. Take the place of. D. Provide protection for.

45. What can we learn from Jay Zaveri’s words?

A. DroneSeed has done an amazing job in reforestation.

B. A drone should be used in more areas.

C. People should pay more attention to climate change.

D. Global reforestation has made very little progress.

Tuesday afternoon came, and Tuesday evening. The lost children had not been found. In the middle of the night, the streets were crowded with excited people shouting. “They’re found! They’re found!”

A message was sent to the cave to call back the men, who were still searching there. And then Tom had to tell the story again—it grew better with each telling, of course. He told about finding the hole, about getting poor Becky to believe him, and then helped her to reach the place. He described how he pushed his way out of the hole and help Becky out; how they sat there and cried for gladness; how at last some men came past in a boat; how he hailed them and told them about their experience, and how hungry they were. At first, they couldn’t believe him, “But you’re ten kilometers down the river below the valley the cave is in!” Then they rowed the boy and the girl to a house, gave them supper, made them rest until two or three hours after dark, and then brought them home.

About two weeks after Tom’s escape from the cave, he started off to visit Huck, who had grown plenty strong enough.

Judge Thatcher’s house was on Tom’s way back, and he stopped there to see Becky. The judge and some friends asked Tom a lot of questions. Then the judge said, “Well, there are others just like you, Tom, I’ve not the least doubt. But we have taken care of that. Nobody will get lost in that cave any more.”

“Why?”

“Because I had the entrance closed with a wooden door. And I’ve got the keys.”

Tom’s face turned as white as a sheet.

“What’s the matter, boy? Are you ill?”

“No, sir. I’m not ill. Injun Joe’s in the cave!”

Within a few minutes the news had spread, and several boats full of men started towards McDougal’s cave. Tom went with them. When the cave entrance was opened, a terrible sight came to the men’s eyes. Injun Joe lay stretched on the ground, dead. His face was close to the edge of the door, and he had broken his knife, trying to cut his way out.

A few days later, Tom went to see Huck again.

“Huck,” said Tom, “we’ll have to do something about the treasure.”

“What! Tom, you haven’t found out something, have you? Where do you think the treasure is?”

“Huck, it’s in the cave! The treasure is in the cave!”

(Adapted from The Adventure Of Tom Sawyer)
