And because we couldn’t afford to stay in a hotel, camping was the only way. By the time I left home at 18, I’d visited every province in Canada. As I look back at my camping memories, the one in Battle Harbor stands out most.It takes a long time to drive to Newfoundland from Ontario, especially when you’ve got six people packed into a minivan. When we arrived on the island, it was raining heavily every day. Therefore, we kept driving north, hoping to avoid it. We jumped onto a ferry (渡船) to Labrador and moved our way up the coast of this less-populated region.The scenery in Labrador is sublime. You can see long white sand beaches along the Atlantic coast that look inviting, but the water is extremely cold. While standing at the top of a lighthouse, my dad said, “This will be the new Caribbean once global warming hits.”We soon discovered Battle Harbor, a historic fishing village. In the mid-1800s it had a population of 350 and was considered the unofficial capital of Labrador. When I was there in 2003, it was more like a ghost town, with some broken fish-drying shelves left, reminding me that fishing trade was common. I clearly remember feeling the furthest from anything that I’ve ever felt. Multiple ferry rides and 600 miles separated me from the nearest major city of St. John’s, which is still considered a remote relative to the rest of Canada,If you’re curious about Labrador, I highly recommend a 2013 film called The Grand Seduction. It’s a delightful comedy about a small fishing village called Tickle Head that’s struggling to figure out its future.4、What happened when the author’s family reached Newfoundland?A. They missed several ferries. B. They met with the rain.C. They found no place to camp. D. They ran out of petrol.5、What does the underlined word “sublime” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Plentiful. B. Enjoyable. C. Precious. D. Attractive.6、What can we learn about Battle Harbor from the text?A. It’s a deserted town. B. It’s a good place for campers.C. It’s a close town to America. D. It’s separated from major cities.7、Why does the author recommend the 2013 film in the end?A. To show his concern about a village. B. To satisfy the readers’ curiosity about camping.C. To promote the popularity of the film. D. To help the readers know Labrador better.Decades after landing on the Moon, people are looking to travel to another world — Mars. But why have humans not been to Mars yet?The answer lies in the fact that a trip to Mars is extremely complicated. So far, nearly two-thirds of Mars missions have met with some failure or misfortune. And those are just robotic! It gets more crucial when it comes to sending people to Mars! Mars is about 150 times farther than the Moon, which means more added fuel, bigger capsules and bigger rockets. Those challenges make a trip to Mars different from landing on the Moon.Since Mars is so far away and turns around the Sun at a different rate from Earth, scientists must time launches very precisely. Mission planners have to wait until the best opportunity when the planets are in the correct orbital alignment (排成直线). The window for a successful launch opens up only every couple of years. While it may be possible to cut the travel time down to a month or two by using advanced technology, once on the surface of Mars, the astronauts will need to wait until Earth and Mars are correctly aligned again before returning.There is another problem. How do the travelers guarantee the supply of enough oxygen, water and food? Growing plants that produce both food and oxygen is a good start. However, this means that should the plants die, things will go wrong. Astronauts could take food, water, and oxygen along, but enough supplies for the entire trip will add weight and size to the spacecraft. One possible solution might be to send materials to be used on Mars ahead, and let them wait until the humans get there.Still, the plans are theoretical. Over the coming two decades, mission planners hope to close the gap between theory and reality. Maybe then, human can actually send astronauts to Mars on long-term missions of exploration.8、What do we know about the previous visits to Mars?A. They all turned out to be a big failure.B. They were all guided and managed by robots.C. They showed it’s difficult for humans to go there.D. They proved it’s popular to send humans there.9、What is paragraph 3 mainly talking about?A. The distance between Mars and Earth.B. The traveling routines of Earth and Mars.C. The effect of technology on journey to Mars.D. The time of journeying between Earth and Mars.10、How can humans get enough materials for survival on Mars?A. By sending them to Mars ahead of time.B. By planting a variety of plants on Mars.C. By carrying enough supplies for the trip.D. By using the existing materials on Mars.11、What is the author’s attitude towards the trip to Mars?A. Unclear. B. Hopeful. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.Inspired by how ants move through narrow spaces, scientists have built a robot that draws in its limbs (肢) to pass through narrow passages, climb over steps and move on grass and loose rock.“Insects are really a neat inspiration for designing robot systems that can perform various movement behaviors,” says Nick Gravish, a roboticist at the University of California, San Diego. Ants adapt their gesture to crawl (爬) through tiny spaces. For example, their legs collapse a bit when they hit an object, and they continue to move forward quickly.Gravish team’s robot is about 30 centimeters wide and 20 centimeters long with four wavy limbs. Each limb is made up of six nested tubes that can draw into each other. What’s more, the limbs don’t need to be actively powered or adjusted to change their overall length. Instead, springs (弹簧) play a very crucial role because they automatically allow the legs to become short or stretch back out.The robot can change the width and height of its body to achieve larger body sizes than other similar robots. This adaptability lets the robot get into spaces as small as 72 percent its full width and 68 percent its full height. Next, the researchers plan to actively control the firmness of the springs that connect the leg parts to tune the motion to earth type without consuming too much power.The researchers think that such small robots are easy to produce and can be quickly adjusted to explore complex environments. However, despite being able to walk across different types of land, the researchers think that these robots are, for now, too breakable for search-and-rescue, exploration or biological monitoring. The new robot takes a step closer to those goals, but getting there will take more than just robotics.12、What inspired Gravish’s team to design the robot?A. Ants’ freedom of moving on the earth. B. Ants’ ability of adapting their gestures.C. Ants’ ability of doing various behaviors. D. Ants’ wisdom of removing different blocks.13、Which of the following determines the flexibility of the new robot?A. The springs on its legs. B. The tubes on its body.C. The short and wavy legs. D. The small power capacity it carries.14、What do the researchers think of the new robot?A. More actions should be made to realize its goals.B. More solutions should be equipped to make it smart.C. More improvement should be made to perfect its function.D. More experiments should be done to prove its multifunction.15、What is the best title for the text?A. A Robot Has Unexpected Functions Than BeforeB. A Robot Is Going to Enter Various Scientific FieldsC. A Robot Shortens Its Limbs to Go Through Narrow SpaceD. A Robot Can Copy Insects’ Behaviors When Facing Problems二、七选五16、阅读下面短文，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。Do you have clothes in your wardrobe (衣柜) that you never wear? Do you keep things in your cupboards that you never use? Do you have books on your shelves that you never open? ①       Is it difficult to find things when you need them? If the answer to these questions is yes, then you’re not alone. Most of us have too much stuff.②       They can feel stressed and they find it difficult to relax. This makes them unhappy. There is no doubt that too much stuff is bad for us and we have to change.Now, imagine this bedroom: a white floor, a bed, a wardrobe and a desk and chair. That’s all. It looks calm and relaxing. This is the minimalist (极简主义) style. Minimalists believe that they don’t have to own a lot of things to be happy. ③      You are probably asking at this point “Do I have to get rid of all my favorite things?” ④       A minimalist room is too extreme for most people, and personal things like photos and books are comforting and help us to feel at home. ⑤       Consider this simple rule: if you don’t use something for longer than 6 months, get rid of it. You have to regularly tidy and sort out all the stuff in your room. After tidying your room, you’ll have more space in your wardrobe and cupboards. No more “You must tidy your room!” from your parents! Your room will look tidier and bigger and you’ll feel free!A. What about the mess on the floor?B. Of course the answer is that you don’t.C. They try to live with only basic things.D. But occasional tidying isn’t a bad idea.E. Actually, they enjoy their messy home.F. People with untidy rooms have untidy minds.G. Why do you keep so many things in your garden?三、完形填空（15空）Standing on the top of Mount Tai, I watched the sun rising through the cloud and appearing in the sky.

Nothing scared me as much as water. Just the sight of the sea made me sick to my stomach.I’d always loved water and been a good swimmer until last summer, when I’d decided to climb up to the highest diving board at the pool. I’d jumped from that height and hit the water. I got out of breath and blacked out. The next thing I knew was that my brother was pulling me out of the pool. From then on I was really frightened of water.“Jason, are you coming?” my friend Mat called.“Yeah,” I said, wondering if they might laugh at me if they knew about my fear.Suddenly I heard shouting in French. A crowd of people were running into the sea. I saw a little boy moving up and down in the waves! His head popped up, then a wave crashed over him and he disappeared for a moment. Some rescuers fought against the tide (潮水) but they are too far away. I had to join in the rescue.I looked around and found the boy was close to the jetty and maybe I could help from there. I raced down the beach and it hit me: Water! My palms got sweaty and my fear appeared. I stopped immediately.The people in the water weren’t making any progress. I was the only person who saw that going out on the jetty was the fastest way to reach the boy. Yet in the middle of this emergency, I was extremely frightened. I tried to remember the lifeguard training I’d had as a teenager. I forced myself to move forward.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。Taking in a deep breath, I threw myself into the water. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________As we made our way to safety, I realized something unbelievable. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Whichever team won three sets first would be the winner, so the representatives tried their best to beat their opponents. So close was the game that it was hard for one team to beat the other. Finally the student team won a narrow victory.The match brought a lot of joy to us and strengthened the relationship between students and teachers.34、答案：Taking in a deep breath, I threw myself into the water. As soon as I went under it, I swam hard towards the drowning boy. I reached him and held him just as he sank below the surface. I pulled as hard as I could. “Calm down!” I told him. When I turned back toward the shore, a wave crashed over us. The jetty was about 50 yards away. The tide was pushing us to sea. I remembered what I’d learned in my lifeguard training.As we made our way to safety, I realized something unbelievable. I wasn’t frightened any longer. Mat jumped into the water. I pushed the boy toward him. Just as I let go, a big wave carried him to my friend. I stopped fighting, and just let myself go. Someone pulled me out of the sea onto the rocks. When I caught my breath, I turned my head and saw the boy being hugged tightly by his mother. I looked out at the sea. Never before had water looked so beautiful to me.
