A
Good Books You Really Should Have Read
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
McCarthy is one of our greatest living prose（散文）stylists. His novel, The Road, which was
awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and in which a father and young son struggle to survive, is made all the more impressive by its briefness.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
It works perfectly as a book for teens. Set at an unspecified date in Earth’s future, the novel presents two conflicts between humankind and the Formics, an alien species they call the “buggers”. In preparation for the third conflict, children, including the novel’s leading character, Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, are trained from a very young age.
The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
For decades, almost every good book about disaffected adolescents was compared to The Catcher in the Rye, but none has matched the original. Salinger had his finger on the pulse of a generation in a way that few writers can match, and he broke with tradition by writing in a colloquial(语的）voice.
Tell Me a Riddle by Tillie Olsen
You might not have heard of Olsen, but her 1961 story collection Tell Me a Riddle was one of the first to chronicle (按事件顺序记载）the lives of working-class women. Olsen opened a window onto a world not often seen before in American literature and influenced a generation of women writers. including Margaret Atwood, Sandra Cisneros, and Alice Walker.

Recently I got goose bumps (鸡皮疙瘩) . It was Friday. I went to school like it was a normal day, but little did I know there was a shock waiting for me at school.
There was a boy in my band, Spanish and math class. His name was Nathan. I never really liked him since he was a slowpoke (动作迟缓的人) . In class whenever he was asked a question, he would take a long time to answer it. The whole class would get annoyed. He didn’t have any friends at all. He always sat alone at the lunch table listening to music.
That day, I walked into the band class and Mr. Kohler began the class. We played music for a little
while and then Mr. Kohler asked us: “Who in here can tell what note it is just by hearing the pitch (音高) ?” Nobody raised their hand except Nathan. The moment I saw him, I laughed but not out loud. I thought he couldn’t do anything properly. How could he possibly guess the note when the pitch was played?
Mr. Kohler asked Nathan to stand in front of the class. Then he had a tuner, played a pitch and asked Nathan to guess the note.
Nathan said, “E flat.”
Mr. Kohler said, “OK, good.” And he played another pitch. “F sharp,” Nathan said. The whole class went silent.
Mr. Kohler challenged Nathan by playing 2 pitches and even 3 pitches at the same time. Nathan guessed all the pitches correctly.
“Good job. Go back to your seat,” Mr. Kohler said.
At that moment f got goose bumps. That day I realized that I shouldn’t judge people based on little things I see. I need to see the great things people can do. From that day on I had a different opinion on Nathan. I forgot about all the things he was bad at and focused on the things he was good at.

Located on the clear waters of Lake Superior, Rabbit Island is a remote place that is largely
uninhabited (无人居住的). While this tiny island may not look like much from up above, it’s a slice of undeveloped nature, the perfect place for artists from all fields to come and express their creativity.
It was this idea that prompted New Yorker Rob Gorski to purchase the island in 2010. He saw an opportunity to create a setting for artists, musicians, writers, dancers and other creative types. Shortly thereafter, Gorski partnered with friend and artist Andrew Ranville and created the Rabbit Island Foundation. Artists are invited to a deeply reflective engagement with wilderness and with their own artistic practice.
In keeping with the belief that the island should largely remain untouched, the artists follow the Leave No Trace policy. Small solar panels (太阳能电池板) are used to produce electricity, and
buildings are simple and modest with no permanent foundation left in place. There’s no Internet, no television.
The foundation’s purpose isn’t just to host artists. It’s also to study the island and develop new ways of preserving undeveloped land in other areas around the world.
The Rabbit Island Foundation hopes more artists will come to the tiny island with the continued support of donations and sponsors. “Artists who are really challenging their practices and dealing with contemporary issues should be supported, and their work should be celebrated,” Ranville said.
8. Why did Rob Gorski buy Rabbit Island?
A. To develop a tourist attraction.
B. To have a nice place for relaxation.
C. To support his friend’s foundation.
D. To connect artists with nature.
9. Which of the following might be found on Rabbit Island?
A. Skyscrapers.
B. Televisions.
C. Network wires.
D. Solar-powered lights.
10. What can be learned about the Rabbit Island Foundation?
A. It focuses on wildlife preservation.
B. It aims to protect undeveloped land.
C. It is sponsored by the government.
D. It aids artistic practice financially.
11. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A research paper.
B. A travel guide.
C. A news report.
D. A biography.

What do you do when nobody is around to take your picture? You take a selfie(自拍照). But what about selfies in space? Last year, NASA astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, said that he took the first selfie in space during the Gemini XII mission in 1966.
“For me, it needs to be digital to be a selfie,” argues Jennifer Levasseur, who is in charge of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to Levasseur, the concept of a selfie is directly linked to Internet culture and the human desire to interact (互动) on social platforms. “The thing that makes a selfie a selfie is sharing it,” she says.
Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras aboard space vehicles since the 1960s, and they’ve taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way. Astronauts had to pull the film magazines (胶卷暗盒) out and leave their cameras behind when they returned to Earth, because early space missions were restricted by a weight limit on the return trip.
A big change in space camera technology came after the sad loss of the space shuttle Columbia, which broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003. “Fearing that they would never be able to bring the film back from space and lose all that hard work accelerated the push for digital,” Levasseur says.
Today, astronauts can have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and post true space selfies taken by digital cameras.
12. What does Levasseur think of Aldrin’s words?
A. It hardly makes any sense.
B. It revolutionizes astronautics.
C. It contradicts public opinions.
D. It needs to be further proved.
13. Why were cameras left in space on early space missions?
A. To lighten the load of the spaceship.
B. To test cameras under extreme conditions.
C. To prepare for the next space exploration.
D. To take more pictures in space.
14. What advanced space camera technology?
A. The invention of new films.
B. The fear of falling behind in the space race.
C. The concern about the loss of valuable data.
D. The popularity of space selfies.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Exploration of Space
B. The History of Selfies in Space
C. The Change in Space Camera Technology
D. The Development in Space Technology

After hearing the word “Search!”, Hatchet races through the snow on a Colorado mountain. A life could be on the line-and every second counts. Suddenly, the dog stops and sniffs at the ground. He shouts loudly and begins digging. In just 90 seconds, Hatchet helps free a person covered in snow.
The situation above was just a drill. 16 It’s all part of Hatchet’s training at the Snowmass ski center. He helps save the lives of skiers and snowboarders who get in trouble during avalanches (雪崩).
Avalanche dogs like Hatchet work at ski centers across the country. They are known as “avi” dogs. 17
Dan Berg runs the avi dog program at Snowmass. He says that dogs are perfect for this kind of work. 18 That makes it easy for them to sniff out a person under the snow.
“A dog will take around 20 minutes to check a site the size of two football fields,” Berg says.“ 19 ”
Avi dogs begin training as little babies. They practice running through the snow and safely getting on and off ski lifts that carry them to the top of the mountain. The little dogs also learn to find objects that are difficult to see. Sometimes human volunteers hide under the heavy snow. 20 After each drill, the dogs can play an interesting game.
“Avi dogs greatly increase a person’s chances of survival in an avalanche,” says Berg. “And they are great fun to work with! ”
- No one was in danger.
B. They like playing games very much.
C. The dogs find them and dig them out.
D. It is very dangerous for humans to do this.
E. That would take a group of humans several hours.
F. Their noses are much more powerful than human noses.
G. They work with human members of avalanche search teams. - 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式
The surface of the Earth is always changing. It has been changing since it was made. Just 41 (think) about it. Heavy rains wash away land, rivers cut through mountains, and winds move sand and rocks. All these 42 (change ) are called erosion (侵 蚀). Erosion is a natural process that happens every second of every day.
Natural erosion is very slow, but it has been going on for 43 very long time. It has created some of the world’s most 44 (amaze) places, such as the Grand Canyon in the United States and the Iguazu waterfalls in Brazil.
Sometimes, erosion is speeded up by humans. We depend on the Earth 45 food and energy, and we cause erosion as we satisfy these needs. For example, forest clearance and farming can lead to erosion. All these land uses can allow wind and rain 46 (wash) the soil away more 47 (easy).
As humans, we need to consider the erosion we cause, and how it will affect the future of 48 (we) planet. Nobody knows 49 will happen to the Earth in a million years, but one thing 50 (be) for certain: it will look a whole lot different.
