This afternoon, a friend asked if she could come by to spend some time with me in stillness.
Two days back, she got the news that her grandmother passed away» on the other side of the globe. They were very close, and due to some duties in the coming days, she couldn't leave right away to be by her side.
I am a priest. Although we are opposite sex and I actually don't know her well, there was a resonance (共鸣) in values that connected us. She had attended a few gatherings that some friends and I hosted, and her attendance had always added a gentle and friendly atmosphere to the circle, and in the talks she'd find herself in. I was touched by the way she asked for help — and her intention to spend time in silence and in a sacred space to honor and connect with her grandmother.
I was very busy that day, and I was already behind on a few deadlines. I had hoped to work late on to catch up. But it was so clear to stop and make time for this. This friend has such a modest personality, and I could tell it had been an uncertain couple of days since she received the news. "Of course, come by please," I told my friend.
When she arrived a couple of hours later, I handed her a cup of tea. It was 5:30 pm. She had wanted to sit in silence to honor her grandmother first, but because she had missed eating lunch, she gently brought a container of leftovers to share an early dinner instead.
I listened to her memories and stories. Her grandmother was the joyous community elder and had experienced the peaks and valleys in life with a lightness of heart.
After the meal, we sat together in stillness for an hour. When it was over, daylight had been absorbed by the night sky.

More than 100 scientists traveled to faraway places to collect wild crop seeds in an effort to help battle climate change. The scientists have been likened to the hero of the Indiana Jones movies. Like him, they had to face blood-sucking creatures and fierce tigers. Some-times, they had to use elephants for transportation because they couldn't find any other means of transportation.
A report on the project was published last week. It described the results of a six-year search to collect thousands of wild seeds. The seeds could be important in feeding a growing human population at a time when rising temperatures are affecting crop production in some areas.
The scientists traveled on foot, by four-wheeled vehicles, boat and riding horses and they even rode elephants to reach faraway areas. They collected 4,644 seed samples of 371 wild relatives of 28 crops. Many of those wild relatives are said to be endangered.
The Crop Trust, a nonprofit organization that works to save different kinds of crops, was directing the project. The group was working in partnership with Britain's Royal Botanic Gardens and Millennium Seed Bank. Additional financial support came from Norway. The project is believed to be the largest organized international effort yet to collect and protect crops' wild relatives.
Some relatives of widely grown crops have developed so they can survive usual and severe conditions such as low rainfall, flooding, extreme temperatures and poor soils. Scientists say the wild crops offer a largely unused source of diversity for protecting crops against climate change.
Some crops are threatened because of destruction of forests, conflict and expanded cities. Experts say losing this diversity could endanger food security around the world. A United Nations report says that food supplies are under severe threat. The report notes that the number of animal and plant species are quickly disappearing as the world deals with how to feed a rising population.
8.What happened to the scientists during the journey to collect the seeds?
A. They sowed many wild crop seeds.
B. They met with some dangers and difficulties.
C. They discovered many unknown plant species.
D. They solved many issues caused by global warming.
9.What do we know about the wild crops?
A. They grow widely all over the world.
B. Some of them have adapted to extreme climates.
C. They can take the place of the present non-wild crops.
D. Some of them are endangered due to developed tourism.
10.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Natural disasters endanger food security.
B. Animal and plant species are becoming diverse.
C. The lack of food supplies causes a population decline,
D. Human activity has a negative effect on some crops.
11.What can be the best title for the text?
A. New Varieties of Crops Will Be Developed
B. Animal and Plant Species Are Rapidly Disappearing
C. The Crop Trust Is Working on Studying Wild Plants
D. Scientists Collect Wild Seeds for Climate Change Fight

A new study suggests some of America's favorite Independence Day fireworks can give out lead and copper(铜), which are used to give fireworks their vivid colors, and also damage human cells and animal lungs.
Led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the study showed poisonous levels of lead in two of 12 samples of commercially-available fireworks. Experiments using human tissue showed that lung exposure to particle emissions(颗粒排放物)from five types of fireworks significantly increased oxidation (氧化), a chemical process in the body that can damage or even kill cells.
The researchers say the new study, published online in the journal Particle and Fibre Toxicology, is believed to be the first to examine the effects of firework exposure in human cells and living animals, and to test for particles of common firework metals thrown into the atmosphere.
"While many are careful to protect themselves from injury from explosions, our results suggest that inhaling firework smoke may cause, longer-term physical damage, a risk that has been largely ignored," says study senior author Terry Gordon, PhD, a professor in the Department of Environmental Medicine.
Gordon and his team also analyzed 14 years' worth of air quality samples taken at dozens of sites across the US by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) throughout each year. They found that levels of poisonous metals were higher in samples taken on Independence Day and New Year's Eve celebrations than at any other time of the year. Along with lead, copper and other poisonous metals are commonly found in fireworks. "Our research shows that although we are only exposed to these poisonous substances for a short time each year, they are much more poisonous than the pollutants we breathe every day," says Gordon.
Gordon cautions that the current investigation is a first step, only addressing the potential effects of one-time exposure to the firework metals. He says repeated exposure is likely a larger concern. Nevertheless, he is planning to share his findings with local health officials, firework producers, the Environmental Protection Agent, and other regulatory agents to alert them to the potential for harm.
12.Why do some fireworks harm our health?
A. They can give out harmful metals.
B. They are exposed to particle emissions.
C. They are significantly oxidized in the air.
D. They can melt chemical substances in the body.
13.What does the underlined word "inhaling" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Letting out. B. Blowing off. C. Taking in. D. Integrating into.
14.What can we infer from Gordon's research findings?
A. Fireworks are the main cause of air pollution.
B. Air quality on New Year's Eve is above normal.
C. People breathe in poisonous air for a short time daily.
D. Air pollution on Independence Day is worse than usual.
15.What does Gordon intend to do with firework-related personnels?
A. Remind them not to set off fireworks.
B. Caution them against producing metals.
C. Warn them of the possible dangers of fireworks.
D. Alert them to the potential harm of the experiment.

四、语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
【答案】 was started;to promote;where;kinder;performance;are;countries;it;Without;working
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,北美地区每年5月的第三个星期五为骑车上班日,讲述骑车上班日的由来和骑自行车的好处。
【点评】考查语法填空,本题考点涉及时态语态,非谓语动词,定语从句,形容词,名词,主谓一致,代词,介词以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查,要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,并结合相关语法知识,进行分析推理,从而写出正确的单词形式。
41.句意:该活动由美国自行车联盟于1956年发起,旨在推广自行车作为上下班的一种严肃选择。根据时间状语in 1956可知,为一般过去时,主语和谓语之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,故填was started。
42.句意:该活动由美国自行车联盟于1956年发起,旨在推广自行车作为上下班的一种严肃选择。此处表目的,应用不定式,故填to promote。
43.句意:在当今世界,全球变暖是一个严重的问题,骑自行车是减少碳足迹的完美方式。 3 global warming is a serious issue为定语从句,修饰先行词world,设空处在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导,故填where。
44.句意:一个更健康的社会意味着这个国家的医疗系统没有那么大的压力,对于你的钱包骑自行车也比开车好得多。设空处接在be动词后作表语,后面有比较级标志词than,应用形容词比较级,故填kinder。
45.句意:循环的另一个好处是,一旦你开始工作,你可能会更有创造力和充满活力,这将提高你的表现。设空处作improve的宾语,应用名词performance,表示“表现”,不可数名词。故填performance。
46.句意:全世界大约有10亿辆自行车。设空处为there be句型的谓语,后面的名词one billion bicycles为复数,谓语也要用复数。故填are。
47.句意:当我们想到一些国家,比如中国,我们会想象有很多人到处骑自行车。设空处为宾语并且前面有some修饰,应用名词复数形式,故填countries。
48.句意:使在高科技发达的日本,也有可能看到商人、农民、母亲或工人在街上骑自行车。设空处为it作形式主语,代替真正的主语,后面的不定式。故填it。
49.句意:没有自行车,世界上很多地方可能会停止工作! 分析句子可知,设空处为介词,意为“没有”,位于句首,首字母要大写,故填Without。
50.stop后接动名词,意为“停止做某事”,接不定式,意为“停下来去做另一件事情”,根据句意,此处是“停止做某事”。故填working。
五、短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
【答案】 ①previous →previously ②improving→ to improve ③is后加of ④grammars →grammar ⑤删掉it ⑥a →an ⑦others →other ⑧or →nor ⑨hoped →hope ⑩come →coming
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了作者学习英语的方法,如今作者的英语一天比一天好。
(1)句意:以前我的英语不好。修饰前面整个句子,作状语,应用副词previously。故previous改为previously。
(2)句意:但是我已经做了我能做的一切来提高我的英语成绩。此处to do不定式作目的状语,improve应用原形。故improving改为improve。
(3)句意:学好英语是非常重要的。be of importance,固定短语,“重要的”,故importance前加is。
(4)句意:其次,我每周复习了基本的语法规则,那些都是我英语老师期待我去掌握的。grammar“语法”是不可数名词,没有复数形式。故grammars改为grammar。
(5)句意:其次,我每周复习了基本的语法规则,那些都是我英语老师期待我去掌握的。分析句子可知,此处为定语从句,which和it都是指代上一句的rules,属于重复指代。which在定语从句中作master的宾语。故去掉master后面的it。
(6)句意:第三,我每两天读一些英语短文,然后写一篇英语作文。English是元音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词an。故a改为an。
(7)句意:第三,我每两天读一些英语短文,然后写一篇英语作文。every other day“每隔一天”,故others改为other。
(8)句意:我既不想在阅读上得低分,也不想在写作上得低分。neither…nor…固定短语,“既不……也不……”,故or改为nor。
(9)句意:现在我的英语一天比一天好。并且我希望我为即将到来的大学入学考试做好了准备。根据上文now,表明是现在的时间,可知应用一般现在时,主语为I,谓语动词用原形。故hoped改为hope。
(10)句意:现在我的英语一天比一天好。并且我希望我为即将到来的大学入学考试做好了准备。come是不及物动词原形,此处应用它的现在分词形式作定语修饰后面的名词短语College Entrance Examination,coming表示“即将发生的;下一个的”。故come改为coming。
【点评】考查短文改错,本题考点涉及副词,非谓语动词,介词,名词,代词,冠词,形容词,时态以及固定短语等多个知识点的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,覆盖面广,综合性强,难度较大,区分度高。
六、书面表达(满分25分)
【答案】 Dear Miss Evans,
How is everything going? I'm writing to tell you a plan which makes sense. As Senior Three students, we are having a busy but very meaningful year. Therefore,we intend to make a documentary in English for it.
We have decided to focus on both our study and life. We have made a relevant plan. On the one hand, we will record some wonderful scenes in time; on the other hand,we are going to insist on videoing once a month to record our life. However, we find it demanding to write English subtitles. I would really appreciate it if you could offer us the English subtitles and give us some valuable suggestions.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
