 On my first job, I worked as a sports editor (编辑) for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from the   46   . When I saw there was an envelope (信封) on my desk one morning, I felt   47    From the envelope, I could see it was from a most popular news paper.

 When I opened it, I found a note and it read, “You did a good job. Goon! “The note was signed (签名) by John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand, his words made me   48   . After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I wondered if I had the ability to be a good editor, I would read John’s note and become    49    that again.

 Later, when I made friends with John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to   50    young people. “When I make others feel happy, “he told me, “I feel happy, too.

A

 Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do talk with each other.

 Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked (袭击) in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves, and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more surprisingly, the tree sent out a special smell--a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.

 “Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words.” John Bright, another researcher from America, said to Teens. “We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?” He added.

Teens

 A. making special movement  B. touching one another

 C. smelling one another   D. making unusual sound

60. John Bright thinks __________.

 A. we cannot take the finding of tree talking seriously.

 B. trees can communicate with movement and words.

 C. only birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements to communicate.

B

 One day the staff members of u zoo found the kangaroos were playing out of the cage. So they held a meeting about how to solve the problem. After a long discussion, they came to an agreement that the cage was placed too low and they decided to raise it from one to two meters high. But the next day the kangaroos were still out of the cage and they again raised the cage to three meters.

 It was quite unusual that the third morning they saw the kangaroos be free to go about. They were so alarmed about it and decided to go on raising the cage to the height of ten meters.

 Later while chatting with some kangaroos, a giraffe asked, “Do you think they will go on raising your cage?”

 “Hard to say, “said a kangaroo, “If they fail to lock the cage door again.”

 In our daily life we often have too many things to do at the same time. Among them some are important and others less important; some are urgent (紧急的) and the rest can wait. In this case, to lock the door is more important than to raise the cage. Without doubt we will gain nothing if we choose the latter. The nature of doing things is none other than a wise choice among these things.

61. The staff members keep on raising the cage because __________.

 A. kangaroos like to jump high

 B. they don’t want to lock the cage door

 C. kangaroos grow taller and taller

 D. they find kangaroos outside the cage every morning

62. The underlined word “alarmed” in Paragraph 2 means __________ in Chinese.

 A. relaxed  B. dangerous  C. calm  D. worried

63. In fact, the kangaroos went out because __________.

 A. The cage was placed too low.

 B. The keepers didn’t lock the cage door.

 C. The kangaroos were so strong.

 D. The kangaroos were very clever.

64. What do you think of the staff members of the zoo?

 A. Careless.  B. Hard-working.  C. Wise.  D. Understanding.

65. What can we know from the passage?

 A. It’s important to act quickly towards a problem.

 B. Kangaroos are cleverer than people.

 C. The nature of doing things is to find out what is more important.

 D. We should always be careful to lock the door

C

 Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber. He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure (探险) in South America, covering 7, 800 miles. He was even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018.

 Although Jerry had achieved great success, he didn’t feel fulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains? Am I doing something helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world?”

 Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples (样本) from the places faraway to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach--only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought himself could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventures to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it.

 Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life of Mountain Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists how plants live in extreme (极端的) condition.

 For Jerry, this kind of adventure is the most satisfying (令人满意的). “Such adventures have made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me. What matters is doing something helpful while climbing the mountains. There is still much more we can do.” Jerry said to a newspaper.

66. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?

 A. Jerry’s friends.   B. Jerry’s achievements.

 C. High mountains.   D. A geography magazine.

67. What does the underline word “fulfilled” in paragraph2 mean?

 A. Satisfied  B. lonely  C. Patient  D. Worried

68. Why did Jerry set a team of top adventures?

 A. To make friends.  B. To help scientists.  C. To study plants.  D. To train scientists.

69. Jerry’s and his friends’ adventures have changed __________.

 A. their hobbies.   B. their friendship.

 C. their understanding of life.  D. their living conditions.

70. Which can be the best title for the passage?

 A. Dangerous Mountains Climbing.

 B. Important Scientific Discoveries.

 C. Plants Found on High Mountains.

 D. Adventures Turned into Something Greater.
