The Camp Fire ravaged(毁坏) an area the size of Chicago, destroying 14,000 residences and taking more than 17 days to contain. As it spread, killing at least 85 people and displacing thousands more in Northern California, Madison waited patiently.
Madison’s owner, Andrea Gaylord, was not able to get to her home in Paradise, California, when the fire began to spread on Nov. 8, meaning Madison was left behind. For weeks, all Gaylord could do was pray for Madison’s safety.
Shayla Sullivan, a rescue volunteer, spotted Madison a few times in a valley, apparently guarding territory, and put out fresh food and water regularly in hopes that the dog would turn up. She even placed an article of clothing that smelled like Andrea near the home to keep Madison’s hope alive until his people could return.
When the evacuation(撤离) order was lifted last week and Andrea went back to the property—which had been destroyed by the fire—her prayers were answered: Madison was there, seemingly protecting what little remained of his family’s home.
“WELL, I’m so HAPPY to report that Andrea was allowed to return to her property today and THERE MADISON WAS!!!! He had stayed to protect what was left of his home, and NEVER gave up on his people!” Sullivan wrote in the comment on her Facebook post, which was shared 12,000 times as of Saturday evening. “I’m so happy. I’m crying as I write this! He didn’t give up through the storms or the fire! A LOOOOONG month it must have been for him!” she added.
Later, Andrea said in an interview that she was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her. Andrea lost everything in the fire and is now homeless, but she has been able to find some solace knowing her dogs are safe, “Imagine the loyalty of hanging in through the worst of circumstances and being here waiting,” Andrea told ABC10, fighting through tears. “You could never ask for better animals.”
24. Why was Madison left behind?
A. He was stopped by the fire.
B. He was unwilling to go with his owner.
C. He was ordered to protect the family home.
D. His owner was not at home when the fire spread.
25. Why was Shayla Sullivan crying when writing the post?
A. She was worried whether Madison could survive.
B. She was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her.
C. She was happy Madison finally turned up for the food she left.
D. She was moved by what Madison did and his reunion with Andrea.
26. What did Andrea mean by saying “You could never ask for better animals”?
A. Madison is the best dog. B. One could not ask animals for help.
C. Animals are never better than humans. D. Dogs are clever than any other animals.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A brave dog fought alone against the storms of fire.
B. A helpful rescue volunteer helped to find a lost dog.
C. A devoted dog reunited with his owner after the fire.
D. A frightened survivor had a narrow escape from the fire.
C
Herman Melvile, the writer of the famous whale story Moby Dick, once wrote that humpback whales (座头鲸) were “the most lighthearted of all the whales.” Known to be intelligent animals and can be seen working together to hunt schools of small fish, humpbacks are a favorite of whale watchers everywhere. And, if you listen closely, you might even hear one singing.
Marine (海洋的) biologist Jim Darling has studied the songs of humpback whales for more than 25 years. While recording whale songs on a boat near Hawaii, he invited author Douglas Chadwick to experience diving with a humpback. In the water, Chadwick heard the whale’s songs in a way he never heard them before. “Suddenly, I no longer heard the whale’s voice in my ears,” he said. “I felt it inside my head and bones.”When swimming with the whale, Chadwick could see that the whale was aware of him, but not alarmed by his presence. Up in the boat, Darling recorded the whale’s song, which can be long and complex, sometimes lasting for 30 minutes or more. Actually, they are perhaps the longest songs sung by any animal.
Darling says that only male humpbacks sing, but for unknown reasons, it was previously thought that they sang to attract females, but scientists showed this was incorrect when they played recordings of whale songs in the ocean and the female whales did not respond. Another idea is that male humpbacks compete with each other using songs, just as other male animals on land do using their horns or sharp teeth.
Researchers have also found that humpback whale songs are different in different parts of the world, perhaps like whale national songs. They may also be like hit tunes on the radio, changing over time—from one year to the next, or even over a single breeding season when they produce young.
Another member of the research team, photographer Flip Nicklin, recalls a special moment he had while interacting with a humpback. While he was snorkeling (潜水) some distance from the huge animal, it approached him until it was just a few metres away. It then gently carried Nicklin towards its eye with a flipper (鳍肢), as if to examine him. Obviously, the urge to understand a different species goes both ways.
28. What is this passage mainly about?
A. How to record the humpbacks in the ocean.
B. How humpbacks communicate with people.
C. Humpback songs and what they might mean.
D. The career of a man who is interested in humpbacks.
29. When the scientists played songs in the ocean, ________.
A. the songs attracted fish. B. no female whales came.
C. male whales became angry. D. male and female whales came together.
30. What is NOT true about humpback whales?
A. Their songs are short and simple. B. Only male humpback whales sing.
C. Humpback whales are very friendly. D. They are popular with whale watchers.
31. What do Chadwick and Nicklin have in common?
A. They were afraid of whales.
B. They swam with the whales.
C. Their jobs are to take photos of the whales.
D. They are marine biologists studying whales.
D
As one of the most momentous languages in the world，Latin had humble beginnings.It originated along the Tiber River in Italy and only a handful of people spoke the language.Over time，Latin became more distinguished as Romans procured（获得） political power.Many famous literary texts and scientific classifications were written in Latin.Even though knowing Latin indicated a person was educated，according to Britannica，in the 20th century far fewer people learned “Latin”，leading it to be classified as a “dead” language.
There are around 7，000 living languages in the world，but，according to Britannica， “more than half are at risk of dying out by the end of the 21st century”.Civilizations evolve over time and so do languages.More often than not，a language dies because everyone who speaks the language dies.For example，Marie Smith Jones，perhaps the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language，died at the age of 89 in 2008，and so did the language.Now，fewer and fewer people speak Latin，which raises public's awareness about its preservation.
Actually, there are many other reasons in respect of why Latin should be preserved or taught. “It is a window into an engaging ancient civilization, and studying an ancient civilization teaches us to respect different points of view and unfamiliar cultural practices,” says Kathleen Coleman, James Loeb Professor of Harvard University.
Since it isn't used in ordinary conversations, there are a lot of difficulties that arise from teaching Latin. “Teaching a ‘dead’ language is distinct from teaching other languages,” explains Coleman, “because there are no native speakers to demonstrate us how it sounds or answer questions about the meanings of words or justify idioms.While it's tough, we still can find the answers to our questions from the fragmentary(不完整的)evidence available in written texts.”
32. What can we learn about Latin from Paragraph 1?
A. Latin was well-known since its birth.
B. Only educated people learned Latin in the past.
C. Latin was not favored by scientists and writers.
D. All people didn't learn Latin in the 20th century.
33. The author mentions Marie Smith Jones in Paragraph 2 to show _______.
A. Latin is going to be a “dead” language
B. what it really means when a language dies
C. why people should be aware of protecting languages
D. he is the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language
34. Why should people learn Latin according to Coleman?
A. To show unfamiliar practices. B. To respect others’ opinions.
C. To learn about an ancient society. D. To protect a "dead" language.
35. What will the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. The learning materials. B. The development of Latin
C. The learning methods. D. The difficulties in learning Latin.

Four Common Communication Mistakes
It can be embarrassing to make mistakes in communication. For example, if you send an email with a grammatical error, you can end up looking unprofessional. ___36___ For example, they can push away colleagues or customers. Now let's look at some common communication mistakes.
___37___
Spelling, tone and grammatical mistakes can make you look careless. That's why it's essential to check all of your communications before you send them. Sometimes, it can be difficult to see errors in your own work. So consider asking a colleague to look over key documents before you distribute them.
You always deliver bad news by email.
Would you announce something bad to others by email? If you did, you could upset them! Written communication channels don't allow you to soften difficult messages with non-verbal（非言语的）clues, such as body language. ___38___ So if you need to deliver bad news, do this in person.
You tend to avoid difficult conversations.
At some point, you will need to give negative feedback（反馈意见）. It may seem wise to avoid such conversation. ___39___ For instance, you may find that a small problem you “let go” soon grows into a big one. Preparation is the key to handling difficult conversations. Learn to give clear, actionable feedback.
You are reacting instead of responding.
Have you ever shouted at a colleague in upset, or sent a brief and unfriendly reply to an email, without thinking your point through? If so, you're likely to have reacted emotionally, instead of responding calmly. The kind of emotional reaction can damage your reputation. ___40___
A. You fail to have your work edited.
B. But this can cause further problems.
C. Difficult conversations can cause upset.
D You assume others understand your messages.
E. You may give others the impression of lacking self-control.
F. And they don't allow you to immediately deal with strong emotions.
G. Other communication mistakes can have more serious consequences.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Breakfast time!” I quickly put on my clothes and rushed down the stairs.
“ Come on, we don’t want to be late！”My mom said. The aroma（香味）of pancakes filled the kitchen, making the room warm. I looked out of the window. The sun was out, making a warm and bright morning.
“Today’s the day, zip lining（高空滑索）！” My dad said, sounding very enthusiastic early this morning.
Today we would go zip lining. The excitement built up inside of me as breakfast went on. After breakfast, we set out in my dad’s car. Half way through the ride, the sun grew hot, and the leather on the seats burned my legs. I thought about the trip, how my parents went but not me. It was my first time experiencing something like this. I also thought about my fear of heights, one thing I tried to get rid of multiple times. It got in the way of so many fun activities, like roller coasters at Kings Island.
We were basically there by now, the sun still blazing hot. We pulled up to big sign where our instructor waited for us.
“Hi y’all！”said our instructor cheerfully.
“So, have y’all done this before?”
My parents nodded but I shook my head. Our instructor went over safety instructions while we each put on a safety harness（安全带）. I started to get nervous. A never-ending roller coaster of excitement and anxiousness built inside of me. I looked down the cliff（悬崖）. My heart skipped a beat when the wind howled, blowing leaves and twigs in the trees. My legs started to shake.
“Alright y’all, time to hit the trails”. Said the instructor with too much enthusiasm.
My turn finally came.

Before the festival comes,people clean and decorate their houses to welcome the New Year.On New Year's Eve, people usually get together to watch annual Spring Festival Gala Evening on TV while having a sumptuous family dinner. During the festival people go from house to house to pay a New Year visit to their relatives and friends.

读后续写
Para.1 “I’ll be the first.” Dad cocked his head, took a deep breath, and directly sprang off the edge. Like a swooping hawk（像一只猛扑的鹰）, he stretched his arms and swooshed （嗖嗖地迅速移动）along the trail toward the other side. The exhilarated (愉快的，振奋的) yelling echoed in the valley, and the next moment I glanced beyond the cliff. Dad had already reached the end, waving at us. Full of excitement as it seemed, I couldn’t help wriggling （扭动） my toes nervously. When Mom gestured to the instructor to let her go next. Before jumping, she cast me an encouraging grin （咧嘴笑，露齿笑）and comforted, “Just do as I do.” Then she gripped / grasped the belt and stamped the ground. Like Dad, she rapidly became a small dot and hit the terminal-another cliff that was nearly a hundred meters across from me.
Para.2 My eyes were fixed on the safety harness. “Is this truly firm enough?”On the other side were my parents waving at me, and down the cliff was endless darkness. Just when my stomach began to churn（搅动）, Mom’s words flashed across my mind, “Do as I do.” I gritted my teeth, clenched my fist, and leapt out（跳跃）. No sooner had I squeezed my eyes shut, a gust of wind lashed at my face. My feet were dangling （悬挂，摇摆）casually in the air, as if stepping on invisible stairs. Eventually, I plucked up my courage to open my eyes a bit, and a view of breathtaking scenery instantly leapt into my sight. “Wow—” Hardly could I resist the desire to yell at the top of my voice. Several seconds later, I was again on the ground. But unlike a few moments ago, I was beaming （喜气洋洋）wholeheartedly this time.

The Camp Fire ravaged(毁坏) an area the size of Chicago, destroying 14,000 residences and taking more than 17 days to contain. As it spread, killing at least 85 people and displacing thousands more in Northern California, Madison waited patiently.
Madison’s owner, Andrea Gaylord, was not able to get to her home in Paradise, California, when the fire began to spread on Nov. 8, meaning Madison was left behind. For weeks, all Gaylord could do was pray for Madison’s safety.
Shayla Sullivan, a rescue volunteer, spotted Madison a few times in a valley, apparently guarding territory, and put out fresh food and water regularly in hopes that the dog would turn up. She even placed an article of clothing that smelled like Andrea near the home to keep Madison’s hope alive until his people could return.
When the evacuation(撤离) order was lifted last week and Andrea went back to the property—which had been destroyed by the fire—her prayers were answered: Madison was there, seemingly protecting what little remained of his family’s home.
“WELL, I’m so HAPPY to report that Andrea was allowed to return to her property today and THERE MADISON WAS!!!! He had stayed to protect what was left of his home, and NEVER gave up on his people!” Sullivan wrote in the comment on her Facebook post, which was shared 12,000 times as of Saturday evening. “I’m so happy. I’m crying as I write this! He didn’t give up through the storms or the fire! A LOOOOONG month it must have been for him!” she added.
Later, Andrea said in an interview that she was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her. Andrea lost everything in the fire and is now homeless, but she has been able to find some solace knowing her dogs are safe, “Imagine the loyalty of hanging in through the worst of circumstances and being here waiting,” Andrea told ABC10, fighting through tears. “You could never ask for better animals.”
24. Why was Madison left behind?
A. He was stopped by the fire.
B. He was unwilling to go with his owner.
C. He was ordered to protect the family home.
D. His owner was not at home when the fire spread.
25. Why was Shayla Sullivan crying when writing the post?
A. She was worried whether Madison could survive.
B. She was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her.
C. She was happy Madison finally turned up for the food she left.
D. She was moved by what Madison did and his reunion with Andrea.
26. What did Andrea mean by saying “You could never ask for better animals”?
A. Madison is the best dog. B. One could not ask animals for help.
C. Animals are never better than humans. D. Dogs are clever than any other animals.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A brave dog fought alone against the storms of fire.
B. A helpful rescue volunteer helped to find a lost dog.
C. A devoted dog reunited with his owner after the fire.
D. A frightened survivor had a narrow escape from the fire.

Herman Melvile, the writer of the famous whale story Moby Dick, once wrote that humpback whales (座头鲸) were “the most lighthearted of all the whales.” Known to be intelligent animals and can be seen working together to hunt schools of small fish, humpbacks are a favorite of whale watchers everywhere. And, if you listen closely, you might even hear one singing.
Marine (海洋的) biologist Jim Darling has studied the songs of humpback whales for more than 25 years. While recording whale songs on a boat near Hawaii, he invited author Douglas Chadwick to experience diving with a humpback. In the water, Chadwick heard the whale’s songs in a way he never heard them before. “Suddenly, I no longer heard the whale’s voice in my ears,” he said. “I felt it inside my head and bones.”When swimming with the whale, Chadwick could see that the whale was aware of him, but not alarmed by his presence. Up in the boat, Darling recorded the whale’s song, which can be long and complex, sometimes lasting for 30 minutes or more. Actually, they are perhaps the longest songs sung by any animal.
Darling says that only male humpbacks sing, but for unknown reasons, it was previously thought that they sang to attract females, but scientists showed this was incorrect when they played recordings of whale songs in the ocean and the female whales did not respond. Another idea is that male humpbacks compete with each other using songs, just as other male animals on land do using their horns or sharp teeth.
Researchers have also found that humpback whale songs are different in different parts of the world, perhaps like whale national songs. They may also be like hit tunes on the radio, changing over time—from one year to the next, or even over a single breeding season when they produce young.
Another member of the research team, photographer Flip Nicklin, recalls a special moment he had while interacting with a humpback. While he was snorkeling (潜水) some distance from the huge animal, it approached him until it was just a few metres away. It then gently carried Nicklin towards its eye with a flipper (鳍肢), as if to examine him. Obviously, the urge to understand a different species goes both ways.
28. What is this passage mainly about?
A. How to record the humpbacks in the ocean.
B. How humpbacks communicate with people.
C. Humpback songs and what they might mean.
D. The career of a man who is interested in humpbacks.
29. When the scientists played songs in the ocean, ________.
A. the songs attracted fish. B. no female whales came.
C. male whales became angry. D. male and female whales came together.
30. What is NOT true about humpback whales?
A. Their songs are short and simple. B. Only male humpback whales sing.
C. Humpback whales are very friendly. D. They are popular with whale watchers.
31. What do Chadwick and Nicklin have in common?
A. They were afraid of whales.
B. They swam with the whales.
C. Their jobs are to take photos of the whales.
D. They are marine biologists studying whales.

As one of the most momentous languages in the world，Latin had humble beginnings.It originated along the Tiber River in Italy and only a handful of people spoke the language.Over time，Latin became more distinguished as Romans procured（获得） political power.Many famous literary texts and scientific classifications were written in Latin.Even though knowing Latin indicated a person was educated，according to Britannica，in the 20th century far fewer people learned “Latin”，leading it to be classified as a “dead” language.
There are around 7，000 living languages in the world，but，according to Britannica， “more than half are at risk of dying out by the end of the 21st century”.Civilizations evolve over time and so do languages.More often than not，a language dies because everyone who speaks the language dies.For example，Marie Smith Jones，perhaps the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language，died at the age of 89 in 2008，and so did the language.Now，fewer and fewer people speak Latin，which raises public's awareness about its preservation.
Actually, there are many other reasons in respect of why Latin should be preserved or taught. “It is a window into an engaging ancient civilization, and studying an ancient civilization teaches us to respect different points of view and unfamiliar cultural practices,” says Kathleen Coleman, James Loeb Professor of Harvard University.
Since it isn't used in ordinary conversations, there are a lot of difficulties that arise from teaching Latin. “Teaching a ‘dead’ language is distinct from teaching other languages,” explains Coleman, “because there are no native speakers to demonstrate us how it sounds or answer questions about the meanings of words or justify idioms.While it's tough, we still can find the answers to our questions from the fragmentary(不完整的)evidence available in written texts.”
32. What can we learn about Latin from Paragraph 1?
A. Latin was well-known since its birth.
B. Only educated people learned Latin in the past.
C. Latin was not favored by scientists and writers.
D. All people didn't learn Latin in the 20th century.
33. The author mentions Marie Smith Jones in Paragraph 2 to show _______.
A. Latin is going to be a “dead” language
B. what it really means when a language dies
C. why people should be aware of protecting languages
D. he is the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language
34. Why should people learn Latin according to Coleman?
A. To show unfamiliar practices. B. To respect others’ opinions.
C. To learn about an ancient society. D. To protect a "dead" language.
35. What will the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. The learning materials. B. The development of Latin
C. The learning methods. D. The difficulties in learning Latin.

Four Common Communication Mistakes
It can be embarrassing to make mistakes in communication. For example, if you send an email with a grammatical error, you can end up looking unprofessional. ___36___ For example, they can push away colleagues or customers. Now let's look at some common communication mistakes.
___37___
Spelling, tone and grammatical mistakes can make you look careless. That's why it's essential to check all of your communications before you send them. Sometimes, it can be difficult to see errors in your own work. So consider asking a colleague to look over key documents before you distribute them.
You always deliver bad news by email.
Would you announce something bad to others by email? If you did, you could upset them! Written communication channels don't allow you to soften difficult messages with non-verbal（非言语的）clues, such as body language. ___38___ So if you need to deliver bad news, do this in person.
You tend to avoid difficult conversations.
At some point, you will need to give negative feedback（反馈意见）. It may seem wise to avoid such conversation. ___39___ For instance, you may find that a small problem you “let go” soon grows into a big one. Preparation is the key to handling difficult conversations. Learn to give clear, actionable feedback.
You are reacting instead of responding.
Have you ever shouted at a colleague in upset, or sent a brief and unfriendly reply to an email, without thinking your point through? If so, you're likely to have reacted emotionally, instead of responding calmly. The kind of emotional reaction can damage your reputation. ___40___
A. You fail to have your work edited.
B. But this can cause further problems.
C. Difficult conversations can cause upset.
D You assume others understand your messages.
E. You may give others the impression of lacking self-control.
F. And they don't allow you to immediately deal with strong emotions.
G. Other communication mistakes can have more serious consequences.

“Breakfast time!” I quickly put on my clothes and rushed down the stairs.
“ Come on, we don’t want to be late！”My mom said. The aroma（香味）of pancakes filled the kitchen, making the room warm. I looked out of the window. The sun was out, making a warm and bright morning.
“Today’s the day, zip lining（高空滑索）！” My dad said, sounding very enthusiastic early this morning.
Today we would go zip lining. The excitement built up inside of me as breakfast went on. After breakfast, we set out in my dad’s car. Half way through the ride, the sun grew hot, and the leather on the seats burned my legs. I thought about the trip, how my parents went but not me. It was my first time experiencing something like this. I also thought about my fear of heights, one thing I tried to get rid of multiple times. It got in the way of so many fun activities, like roller coasters at Kings Island.
We were basically there by now, the sun still blazing hot. We pulled up to big sign where our instructor waited for us.
“Hi y’all！”said our instructor cheerfully.
“So, have y’all done this before?”
My parents nodded but I shook my head. Our instructor went over safety instructions while we each put on a safety harness（安全带）. I started to get nervous. A never-ending roller coaster of excitement and anxiousness built inside of me. I looked down the cliff（悬崖）. My heart skipped a beat when the wind howled, blowing leaves and twigs in the trees. My legs started to shake.
“Alright y’all, time to hit the trails”. Said the instructor with too much enthusiasm.
My turn finally came.

读后续写
Para.1 “I’ll be the first.” Dad cocked his head, took a deep breath, and directly sprang off the edge. Like a swooping hawk（像一只猛扑的鹰）, he stretched his arms and swooshed （嗖嗖地迅速移动）along the trail toward the other side. The exhilarated (愉快的，振奋的) yelling echoed in the valley, and the next moment I glanced beyond the cliff. Dad had already reached the end, waving at us. Full of excitement as it seemed, I couldn’t help wriggling （扭动） my toes nervously. When Mom gestured to the instructor to let her go next. Before jumping, she cast me an encouraging grin （咧嘴笑，露齿笑）and comforted, “Just do as I do.” Then she gripped / grasped the belt and stamped the ground. Like Dad, she rapidly became a small dot and hit the terminal-another cliff that was nearly a hundred meters across from me.
Para.2 My eyes were fixed on the safety harness. “Is this truly firm enough?”On the other side were my parents waving at me, and down the cliff was endless darkness. Just when my stomach began to churn（搅动）, Mom’s words flashed across my mind, “Do as I do.” I gritted my teeth, clenched my fist, and leapt out（跳跃）. No sooner had I squeezed my eyes shut, a gust of wind lashed at my face. My feet were dangling （悬挂，摇摆）casually in the air, as if stepping on invisible stairs. Eventually, I plucked up my courage to open my eyes a bit, and a view of breathtaking scenery instantly leapt into my sight. “Wow—” Hardly could I resist the desire to yell at the top of my voice. Several seconds later, I was again on the ground. But unlike a few moments ago, I was beaming （喜气洋洋）wholeheartedly this time.
