The American high school students we sent to his research center each year always returned filled with knowledge and a deep desire to learn more.” In Quinn’s eyes, Yuan was incredibly modest, never seeking fame, and focused only on hard work and results that could help lift people out of poverty. With a ‘down to earth’ attitude, Yuan greatly reduced hunger and provided farmers with surplus (多余的) income through his discovery of hybrid rice. Learning of Yuan’s passing away on Saturday, Quinn issued a statement to send his deepest sympathy to Yuan’s family and colleagues. “Professor Yuan Longping, who was truly beloved in his country and by all of us who knew him, will be greatly missed.

C Yellowstone National Park, located in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, was established as the first national park in the United States. The park is a popular destination for visitors who enjoy ecological (生态的) tourism as it offers forests, mountains, and many ecosystems to explore. Some of Yellowstone's most well-known landmarks are its geothermal (地热的) hot springs and geysers (间歇泉), the most famous of which is named Old Faithful. Last fall, Lisa and her friends decided to take a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park. They arranged to stay at one of the park's many convenient campsites. For their camping trip, they brought their backpacks, sleeping bags, and a cooler of food and drinks. They set up their tents immediately upon arriving at their campsite. During their trip, Lisa and her friends hiked the many trails (小道) of the park, exploring its natural surroundings. In the forest, they saw a lot of local wildlife. Lisa was astonished by a family of grizzly bears, some gray wolves, and even bald eagles flying overhead. Unexpectedly, she seemed to quite enjoy being in such a great place. They were well protected. Outside of the woods, they admired the beauty of some of Yellowstone's natural waterfalls. Since Yellowstone contains many hot springs and the world's largest area of active geysers, Lisa and her friends visited many different geyser sites. They even spent an afternoon swimming in Yellowstone's Boiling River. Of all of the sites, Lisa and her friends agreed that Old Faithful was the most impressive. Lisa and her friends waited patiently for the geyser to erupt. After about 40 minutes, a stream of boiling water over 100 feet tall sprayed (喷洒) from the ground and up into the air. Luckily, no one got wet! 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. An introduction to Yellowstone National Park. B. Reasons for building Yellowstone National Park. C. The history of Yellowstone National Park. D. Benefits of Yellowstone National Park. 9. What did Lisa and her friends decide to do last fall? A. To do volunteering in Yellowstone National park. B.

They had a look at some wild animals. D The home of the future won't be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy “house kits” containing a basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want. Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won't disappear because machines can't replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more at home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today. Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won't be for everyone because they won't be cheap. Short space trips will develop first; then space hotels will orbit the Earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of next century, there will have been holiday centres on the moon with leisure facilities(休闲设施) for families. Paper won't exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper. The laws of physics tell us that the Earth is going to disappear some time in the future. This isn't going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes. We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the Earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet. There won't be any other choice. 12. What will homes of future be like? A．They will be completely different from those of today. B．They will be very similar to our homes. C．All will be different from one another. D．They will be movable as you want. 13. What does the second paragraph imply? A．Skilled workers will face great challenges. B．The future will witness job changes. C．Technology will totally replace workforce. D．An unimaginable life will come into being. 14. What can we learn about space trips and staying in space hotels according to the passage? A．They will become a very common way to spend holidays. B．They will be the best holiday options for families. C．They will attract a lot of people. D．They will be still only for very rich people. 15. Why will e-paper replace traditional paper? A．Because it will be a symbol of fashion. B．Because it won't waste natural resources. C．Because it will be cheaper to produce. D．Because it will be convenient to carry. 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most of us agree that life’s real education happens outside the classroom. ___16___ However, they are not the only ones.

Learning about different dynasties, conflicts and changes is so much easier when you actually explore a nation. You learn social skills.

Most of the children in Hope's class had at least one parent working in a factory. Hope loved her class and often told me stories of her classmates, including a boy named Robert who was in trouble a lot. He always stood in the corner for poor behavior in class. I volunteered to act as “the classroom mom, meaning bringing snacks and planning parties and special outings for her class, even though I worked full-time as a social worker. One day I saw Robert standing in the corner and asked the teacher if he could join our Mothers Day party. She refused, saying he needed to learn a lesson. I wasn't sure what he had done to make the teacher place him in the corner, but I felt sad for him as we ate cakes and played games while he continued to face the corner. After the party, I asked Hope what was wrong with Robert. “lt seemed that he went to school only for basketball. He didn't listen to our teacher in class and he talked back. If you were his mother, I bet he wouldn’t talk back,” Hope said. I knew Robert’s mother worked long hours in the paper-making factory. I knew she was a good woman, who found it hard to care for her four children alone. She tried her best, but I was sure there were days when she felt hopeless and was unable to manage it. Hope said Robert often got angry in class when he didn't know the answer to a question and couldn’t read as well as the other children. Hope's words struck me and made me think about whether I could help Robert on a one-to-one basis. His teacher allowed me to come two days a week during my lunch break and help Robert with reading. We read second-grade-level books, the highest level he could master（掌握）. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Slowly he began to master these books, almost enjoying them. _________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the fourth grade, Robert and his classmates took the final exams. _____________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ 答案第2页 总2页 第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
