For the past five years, she has sailed around the world with Guirec Soudee, a French sailor (船贝)who spoke to Week Junior about their journey. Soudee's trip began from Yvince, his hometown in the northwest of France. After working as a sailor and a fisherman, he saved up for two years and bought an old boat. He set off alone around the world, aged 21, having spent only two hours practising how to sail it. Before crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Soudee stopped in the Canary Islands, off the coast of north-west Africa, and it was here that he met Monique. Soudee was given the chicken by some friends. "My plan was to have a hen to stay with and have fresh eggs, "he said. People had warmed him that a hen wouldn't lay eggs at sea because it would be too stressed. However, Monique laid an egg on her first day on the boat and then laid 25 eggs in 28 days. "Monique and I became very close. I talked lo her every day and I knew she understood me, "Soudee said. "I taught her how to swim, how to surf. We shared everything together. ” Soudee and Monique finally finished their 5, 000-mile journey around the world in December 2018. Monique was the perfect travel partner. "The only trouble was that I needed 10 clean Monique's waste. "Soudee explained. "It was fine if it was outside, then you could wash it off with water. But inside the boat on your bed is not the same. "There were some scary moments on the trip. They met 13-metre waves near Antarctica(南极)and were stuck in the ice on Greenland for 130 days, 70 of which were in darkness. Soudee couldn't fish because of the ice, and he said Monique's eggs saved him. Soudec has now written a book called The Hen Who Sailed Around the World: A True Story. …We've get lots of plans for future adventures (日险), " Soudee said. "I want to get a bigger boat and hopefully Monique will have some chicks and then we can take them too. " 32. Where did Soudee meet Monique? A. Near Antarctica. B. In the Canary Islands. C.

What happened to Soudee on Greenland? A. He had nothing to cat. B. He met 13-metre waves. C. He spent 130 days in darkness. D. He was trapped in the ice. 35.

He said snow was as beautiful as butterflies, or apple blossoms(花). He could catch butterflies and show them to his brother. He could pick apple blossoms and take them to his mother. But he could not share snowflakes because he could not save them. When his mother gave him an old microscope(显微镜), he used it to look at flowers, raindrops and grass. Best of all, he used it to look at snow. While other children built forts with sand and threw snowballs at birds, Willie was catching snowflakes. Day after stormy day he studied the icy crystals. The intricate patters (复杂的结构)of snowflakes were even more beautiful than he had imagined. He expected to find whole flakes that were the same, that were copies of each other. But he never did. Willie decided he must find a way to save snowflakes so others could see their wonderful patterns. For three winters he tried drawing snow crystals. They always melted before he could finish. When he was 16, Willie read about a camera which has its own microscope. "If l had that camera, I could photograph snowflakes, "he told his mother. Willie's mother knew he would not be happy until he could share what he had seen. "Fussing with snow is just foolishness, "his father said. Still, he loved his son. When Willie was 17, his parents spent their savings and bought the camera. It was taller than a newborn cow, and cost as much as ten cows. Willie was sure it was the best of all cameras. Even so, his first pictures were failures. Yet he would not give up. Mistake by mistake, snowflake by snowflake, Willie worked through every storm. Winter ended, the snow melted, and he had no good pictures. He waited for another season of snow. One day, in the second winter, he tried a new way. And it worked! Willie worked out how to photograph snowflakes! "Now everyone can see the great beauty in a tiny crystal, "he said. But in those days no one cared. Neighbors laughed at the idea of photographing snow. "Snow is as common as dirt, "they said. "We don't need pictures. "Willie said the photographs would be his gift to the world. 36. What did Willie most like to do when he was a boy? A. He watched snowflakes alone. B. He threw snowballs at birds. C. He caught butterflies with his brother. D. He built sand forts with his friends. 37. What problem did Willie have when he tried to draw snowflakes? A. Snowflake patterns were too difficult to draw well. B. Snowflakes melted before he could finish drawing them. C. Snowflakes were hard to draw because of the cold weather. D. Snowflakes blew away before he could finish drawing them. 38. “Fussing with snow is just foolishness, "his father said. This sentence shows that Willie's father thought photographing snow was ___________. A. an interesting idea B. worth having a try C. something Willie wasn't good at D. a waste of Willie's time 39. Which sentence best tells about Willie? A. He liked every season equally. B. He insisted on his special interest. C. He cared about what other people said. D. He was so careless that he made mistakes. 40. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Parents' new camera was a nice git to Willie. B. Willie used a microscope to look at snowflakes. C. Willie showed the beauty in nature through his photos. D. Snow was as beautiful as butterflies, or apple blossoms. 非选择题(共50分) 四、填空(共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分) A) 请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词, 使句子意思完整正确, 并将答案填写在答 题卡标号为41—45的相应横线上。 41.

It is about 6,670 kilometres in length. It covers about 3.4 million square kilometres, which is about 10%of the area of Africa. The main source(源头)of the River Nile is the White Nile in the small country called Burundi. In Sudan, the White Nile is joined by the Blue Nile, which lows from Ethiopia. From this point on, the river is called the River Nile. In Egypt, the River Nile runs across its flat land to Cairo, where it forms a very large delta (三角洲). It then goes into the Mediterranean Sea. In the past, summer rains and melting snows made the River Nile flood its banks every autumn. These floods left behind water and rich mud, letting farmers grow crops along the riverbanks, in the delta, and to the south of it. By building a number of dams, the Egyptians control the low of water in the River Nile. The biggest dam is the Aswan High Dam. It holds floodwater back in Lake Nasser. The people who live along the River Nile no longer have to deal with the yearly flooding of their homes and land. Small canals (运河)have been built to carry water to the fields and villages. Water rushing over the dam wall is also used to produce electricity. When Lake Nasscr gets hot, lots of its water changes into water vapour. The fertile (肥沃 的)mud that would spread over the fields while flooding now goes down to the bottom of the lake. Without this mud, farmers in the River Nile valley now have to use chemical fertilisers (化肥) on their crops. Moreover, the soils in the delta are becoming saltier because there is less freshwater flowing down the River Nile and more saltwater from the Mediterranean Sea can flow into the delta. Most towns and cities in Egypt and Sudan are near the River Nile. For locals, the river is important for moving goods and people, especially in the flood season when road transport is difficult. Ships can travel along most of the River Nile in Egypt and Sudan, except when the water is very low.

If a woman is rubbing her head, she may be stressed. Nonverbal communication depends in some ways on a person’s background and culture. For example, in some cultures, pointing with a finger m 67 that you are showing something. In other cultures, pointing is not good. Instead people show things by using their whole h 68 . In a way, men and women are like people from different cultures. Scientists know that when men and women speak, they use w 69 in different ways. They also know that men and women use different kinds of nonverbal communication. In general, women like to stand c 70 to the person they are talking to. This may help show that the woman is interested in what the other person says. They don't make large movements with their hands when they speak. However, men would rather stand farther away from the person they are speaking to. This could be because many men p 71 to have more personal space. When speaking with others, men also use large movements to help show what they are talking about. What can you learn from nonverbal communication? If you understand what people are saying with their body, it can help you know how they feel or what they r 72 mean. Understanding nonverbal communication can help you understand how to get your own f 73 and ideas across to the person you are talking to. For example, studies showed that men make less eye contact than women. When someone does not look at you often when you are speaking, it can make you feel like they are not l 74 . Sometimes, doing the same thing that the person you are speaking with is doing can help. It can show the person that you are interested in what he or she says. This is c 75 mirroring. For example, if the woman you are speaking with is smiling. you may want to smile, too. If the man you are talking to has his arms crossed, you might want to cross your arms, too. 六、书面表达(满分15分) 英语俱乐部在学校网站发布通知, 面向全体学生征集关于英语学习的体会。请你根据通知要求, 用英语写一篇文章, 表达你的想法。 Your voice In your opinion, is English easy or difficult to learn?
